────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
1. Use the arrow keys to select Break at Location if Expression
has Changed.
2. Press TAB to move the cursor to the Location box. Type the
location at which you want to set the breakpoint. CodeView
checks for changes in the expression only at this location in
the program.
3. Press TAB to move the cursor to the Expression box. Type an
expression that evaluates to an address. The expression can
be an address in <segment>:<offset> form, or it can be an
expression involving variables in your program.
4. If you want execution to break when a range of memory
changes press TAB to move the cursor to the Length box and
type the size of the range. The range is the number you type
multiplied by the size of the expression you are watching.
5. If you want CodeView to pass over the breakpoint a given
number of times, press TAB to move the cursor to the Pass
Count box. Type the number of times to pass over the
breakpoint.
6. If you want CodeView to execute commands after execution
breaks, press TAB to move the cursor to the Commands box.
Type the commands you want to execute.
7. Press TAB to move the cursor to <OK>, and press ENTER.
