2.) Execution in the internal debugger.

In the debugger the compution of the program can be observed step by step both on code as well as on the structure chart. Tp do sthis click on "debugger > run code with debugger". The program is started, and the executed lines is marked red both in the code window as well as in the structure chart.

In the monitoring window the current instruction is additionally likewise spent and the value of all variables. To the clarity each line is labeled with symbols for instructions (blue), call (yellow) and return (green).

The execution of the program can be stopped and continued at any time with "debugger>Debugger break", or gradually with "debugger >Debugger next step" to be observed.
