Debugging of actions is controlled by the local pop-up menu, or by keyboard shortcuts. The pop-up menu is displayed after pressing the right mouse button above the script source text (script editor - part 4).
| Action | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Insert / Remove BreakPoint | Inserts a breakpoint (script editor - part 3) for the action given by the cursor position. The script execution will be stopped when it reaches the breakpoint. When the debugging is finished and started again the breakpoints will be activated (only when the row count of the ESL script has not been changed). |
| Clear All BreakPoints | Clears all breakpoints. |
| Add To Watch | Inserts a local variable to the list. After the local variable is inserted to the list the tab Watch will display automatically (Watch). |
| Pause | Interrupts continuous execution of script actions (e.g. after selecting the option Continue, or Go To End ). |
| Continue | Runs continuous execution of script actions to the nearest breakpoint, end or an error occurrence (see the parameter Settings). |
| Step Over | Stepping without nesting. |
| Step Over + Profiling | Performs a step without nesting and dumps the profiling information about this step. After performing this step, the excel file with the contingent table opens.

Warning: Viewing the profiling information may take a few seconds. |
