Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     The Breakpoint Set (BP) command creates a breakpoint at a
     specified address. Whenever a breakpoint is encountered during
     program execution, the program halts and waits for a new command.
 
     The BP command can set breakpoints at source lines, functions,
     explicit addresses, or labels in any module of a program. If no
     arguments are given, BP sets a breakpoint at the current line.
 
     In the protected-mode version of CodeView (CVP), the BP command is
     equivalent to the ~*BP command; that is, it applies to all threads
     in the program.
     See: ◄Use with Thread Command►
 
     For any breakpoint, you can specify
 
        ■ A pass count to tell CodeView how many times to pass over the
          breakpoint
       OR
        ■ Commands to be executed after the program reaches the
          breakpoint.
 
     Breakpoints are numbered, beginning with the number 0. Each new
     breakpoint is assigned to the next available number. Breakpoints
     remain in memory until you explicitly delete them or until you
     quit CodeView.
