When you first approach a code with the intent of using the debugger against it, you need to set up some Stop Points. If there aren't any selected Stop Points in the application, PowerBuilder throws you straight into the main debug window.
You can place Stop Points against any line of code simply by double clicking against the line number.
Actually, Stop Points can't be associated to every line in the code. They include commented lines, variable definitions and blank entries. In fact, Stop Points can be set against lines that actually alter something, as opposed to improving the readability or some preparatory work for the code to run successfully.
You can repeat this task as many times as you like, denoting each and every key point in the program as a point where you would like to stop and review the progress.
