source

The source command executes a file of debugger commands.

Syntax

source cmdfile

cmdfile is the name of the file containing the debugger commands.

Usage

The source command allows you to execute a command file of lines that are debugger commands.

The lines in the file are executed sequentially.

The commands are not printed as they are executed, and any messages are not displayed.

Commands are executed without asking for confirmation.

An error in any command terminates execution of the command file.

Example

Using the text file cmdfile.txt, which contains the single line with a break command:

prog.4gl:

MAIN
    DEFINE x INTEGER

    FOR x = 100 TO 200
        DISPLAY x
    END FOR

END MAIN

cmdfile.txt:

break main
run
step
step
print x
quit

$ fglcomp -M prog.4gl && fglrun -d prog.42m

(fgldb) source cmdfile.txt
