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out of date.
Program Step (Description)

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The Program Step (P) command executes the current source line if
the active Source window is in Source mode, or the current
instruction if the active Source window is in \aAssembly or Mixed
mode. The current source line or instruction is the one pointed to
by the CS and IP registers.
Source Mode
In Source mode, if the current source line contains a call,
CodeView executes the entire function and is ready to execute the
line after the call. In CVP, other threads run concurrently with
the current thread (equivalent to the ~*P command).
Assembly/Mixed Mode
In Assembly or Mixed mode, if the current instruction is CALL,
INT, or REP, CodeView executes the entire procedure, interrupt,
or repeated string sequence. In CVP, other threads are frozen
(equivalent to the ~.P command).
