About this task
If you set your line breakpoint by double-clicking on the prefix
area of a line in the
IBM® i editor,
you can only edit the following properties of the line breakpoint:
- How often the debugger should skip the breakpoint (the frequency)
- Whether to stop on the breakpoint only when a given expression is true
(where any non-zero value is true)
To change a breakpoint's properties:
- Do one of the following:
- In the Breakpoints view, right-click on the breakpoint you want to modify.
- In the editor, right-click on the breakpoint you want to modify.
- Select Edit Breakpoint from the pop-up menu. Do
not modify any properties on the Required information page of the breakpoint
wizard.
- Click Next to proceed to the Optional parameters
page to edit the Frequency and Expression of this breakpoint.
- When you have made all the changes you want, click Finish.
If you try to modify any properties on the Required information page
of the breakpoint wizard, or if you try to modify the Thread properties of
the Optional parameters page, an error message will be shown and this breakpoint
will not be modified.
