Debugger: how to easily simulate Args line of passed parameters?

[Massi]

Dear Support,
I'm debugging a program with different response, depending on passed parameters to the program.
In my application I have a quite complex need to pass parameters to get flexibility.
I'm using the standard /VarName=xxxx passing parameters method.
For sure the included debugger is a key for this and I'm heavily use it.
However I have not found in the debugger a way to simulate the argument line to pass to Macro Scheduler in order to test my appliclation efficiently, unless by defining variables in the code.
I have then to comment them to produce the EXE file.

Do you have any other method/recommendation for this?

Thanks for your feed back
Massimo

Place this at the top of your script and you won't have to worry about remarking. The first line is case sensitive and the second line is the variable assignment for use in the debugger.

Code: Select all

If>PassedParameter={"PassedParameter"}
  Let>PassedParameter=UsefulData
EndIf

You can use Assigned:

Code: Select all

Assigned>parm,haveParm
If>haveParm=FALSE
  Let>parm=whatever
Endif

So when run from debug parm and parm is not on the command line it gets set to whatever. Otherwise it's set to whatever was set on the command line.

JRL's method is another way of doing the same thing
