You can specify program arguments when you load your program for debugging, and edit them any time after your program is loaded. The program arguments are saved by your project for the executable.

When you type arguments in the text boxes that contain characters that have special meaning to the shell, make sure you set them off with either a backslash (&\) or quotes (" "). The special characters are:

| & ; < > ( ) $ \Q \ " ' * ? [ ] Space Tab Newline

To specify program arguments when loading a program:

• In the Debug New Program Dialog Box, type the arguments in the Arguments text box. Enter the arguments as if you were typing them on the command line. Do not include the program name.

To edit program arguments once a program is loaded:

1. From the Debug menu, choose Edit Arguments to open the Edit Run Parameters Dialog Box.

2. Add or change arguments in the Arguments text field.

3. Click OK.
