MC-Basic:ADDBREAKPOINT

This command inserts a breakpoint in the task or Library Functions/Subroutines at the specified program line number. When the breakpoint is reached, the MC halts execution of the task and sends a message to the host that the breakpoint has been reached.

When a breakpoint is reached, the task switches to the idle state. Program execution is continued by issuing the CONTINUETASK command, or by using the program debugging commands: STEPIN, STEPOVER, and STEPOUT.
