Run to Breakpoint or End

 

Run until the debugger reaches a breakpoint. If you are in a CALL'd batch file, and there are no more breakpoints in the current file, you will be returned to the parent batch file at the line following the CALL, and "Run to Breakpoint or End" will be turned off.

 

Skip This Line

 

Skip this line and continue execution with the next line

 

Run to Cursor

 

If you click on a line in the debugger window and select "Run to Cursor", the debugger will execute the batch file (ignoring any breakpoints) until it reaches the selected line.

 

Jump to This Line

 

If you click on a line in the debugger window and select "Jump to This Line", the debugger will continue execution starting with the selected line. You can can also change the line to be executed next when in debugging mode by moving the caret to the line and either right clicking & selecting "Jump to This Line" or by pressing Ctrl-Shift-F11. Note that if you attempt to jump into or out of a DO loop or IFF block, bad things will happen!
