You trace code execution because it may not always be obvious which statement is executed first. Use these techniques to trace the execution of code:
Step Into: Traces through each line of code and steps into procedures. This allows you to view the effect of each statement on variables.
Step Over: Executes each procedure as if it were a single statement. Use this instead of Step Into to step across procedure calls rather than into the called procedure.
Step Out: Executes all remaining code in a procedure as if it were a single statement, and exits to the next statement in the procedure that caused the procedure to be called initially.
Run To Cursor: Allows you to select a statement in your code where you want execution to stop. This allows you to "step over" sections of code, for example, large loops.
To trace execution from the current statement
From the Debug menu, choose Step Into (F8), Step Over (SHIFT+F8), Step Out (CTRL+SHIFT+F8), or Run To Cursor (CTRL+F8).
To trace execution from the beginning of the program
From the Debug menu, choose Step Into (F8), Step Over (SHIFT+F8), Step Out (CTRL+SHIFT+F8), or Run To Cursor (CTRL+F8).
