There are several ways to move around the call stack. If you are working in the editor window, use the Up and Down buttons to navigate. If you are working in the Debugging window, use either the buttons or the hypertext links in the Stack pane. The method to use depends on where you want to move in relation to the context function.

The location you start from is the point where the program stopped executing, or the stopped in function, indicated by a solid arrow.

To move one level up the call stack, do one of the following

• Choose Stack Up
• Type F9
• Click the Up button on the tool bar.

To move one level down the stack, do one of the following:

• Choose Stack Down
• Type Shift+F9
• Click the Down button on the tool bar.

To move directly to a stack frame:

Click the hypertext link in the Stack pane.

If the source is available, the source of the new function is displayed in the editor. The next line to be executed in the context function is highlighted in purple. If visible, the stopped in function remains highlighted in green.
