% SET WATCH

Trace selected variables. Whereas % SET WATCH traces individual variables, % SET TRACE traces all variables.
Restriction: This topic applies only when the AppMaster Builder AddPack has been installed, and applies only to Windows platforms.

Syntax:

% SET WATCH [variable variable ...]|[NONE]

Aliases:

% Set Watch [variable variable ...]|[None]
% set watch [variable variable ...]|[none]

Parameters:

variable One or more variable names to display in the log; separate each variable with a space. A variable must be defined before it can be watched.
OFF Turn off % SET WATCH. You can also deactivate the trace by coding % SET NOWATCH.

Comments:

  • To trace the generation execution of an entire rule instead of just selected segments, enter /TRACE on the command line.
  • We recommend that you use % SET TRACE and % SET WATCH only as debugging aids, not in production applications, because they impose considerable overhead on execution efficiency.

Examples:

% SET WATCH &ABC &DEF
% SET WATCH NONE
