Allowing Breakpoints to Stop a Program While Stepping

By default during a debugging session, when a Step Into or Step Over command is called and the state is "ready to run", the process runs and stops on the first line. You can choose to turn off this default.

To set this stepping option:

1. In the Debugging Window, choose Debug Debugging Options. Or, in the Sun WorkShop main window, choose Options Debugging Options.

2. In the Debugging Options Dialog Box, click the Debugging Behavior tab.

3. Under Stepping, click the checkbox to enable or disable Allow Step to start process running.

4. Click Apply to apply the change to the current session, or click Save as Defaults and then click OK to apply it to all sessions.

Note - This option is equivalent to the dbx run_autostart Environment Variable.
