Debugger Evaluate Dialog Box

The Evaluate Dialog provides a central position to examine and modify variables and add or remove variables from the Watch Window.

Variable Name

The name of the variable to be evaluated or watched.  Array elements and indexed pointers  can be evaluated/watched provided the subscript index is a numeric literal or a single (scalar) variable, for example A$(10) or @B[x&].

Modify

If the Value field is explicitly modified, the Modify button commits the change back to the variable’s own storage.  This provides a way of adjusting variables in a program running in the debugger, for example, so specific tests can be applied to a program.  Note that Modify cannot change the length of a string.

Watch on/off

The variable in the Variable Name field is added or removed from the Watch Window as appropriate.

Close

The Evaluate Dialog is closed, and control returns to the main debugger window.
