Observe the current state in the Watch window

Use the Watch window to see the current state of the project while it is in break mode.

Your project must already be in break mode, either by reaching a break point that you set earlier or by using the Break tool to manually enter break mode, before you can use these tools. In the following figure, the yellow arrow shows where execution is suspended

The Watch window has four basic tabs (DB 1 through DB 4) that can be used at any time to view and adjust project tags and to execute in-line scripts. All four of those tabs work in the same way; four of them are provided simply to give you space to organize your work. For more information about using those tabs, see Watch window.

Tip: You may enter the names of VBScript functions (but not sub-routines) in the Watch window to get the returned values of those functions.

In addition to those four tabs, however, are three new tabs that only work with VBScript debugging:

Locals

This tab shows all of the locally-declared VBScript variables and the current values of those variables.

Stack Frame

This tab shows additional information about the VBScript interfaces that are currently open for debugging. The interfaces are listed in order of mostly recently executed, so that you can see how one script calls functions in another, and the Line column shows the most recently executed line in each interface.

Therefore, in the screenshot below, you can see that execution was suspended at line 24 in the function Main_02 in the Global Procedures, and that the function Main_02 was previously called at line 97 of the Startup Script.

Tasks

This tab shows all of the runtime tasks that being debugged and the current state of each task.

Note: At this time, only Background Task (Script) can be debugged, so it is the only task that will ever be shown in this tab. Other tasks may be shown in the future, as the debugging feature is enabled for more VBScript interfaces.

Keep in mind that these tabs show information only when a project is running in Debug mode and the project is in break.
