Enabling and Disabling Breakpoints

While debugging a program, as you try to narrow down the problem, you may set several Breakpoints. If you try to run the debug session with all these Breakpoints in place, you might find it time-consuming to get to the 'interesting' part of the program.

To circumvent this problem, PowerBuilder allows you to temporarily disable the earlier Breakpoints, removing the need to pass through them. The debugger doesn't pick up on any disabled Breakpoints, only the enabled ones. PowerBuilder displays the disabled Breakpoints in white circle.
