DOCUMENT:Q87927 26-JUN-2001 [utilities] TITLE :FIX: Breakpoints, Watches Not Restored with Dual Monitor PRODUCT :Microsoft Programming Utilities PROD/VER::4.0,4.01,4.05 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kb16bitonly ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft CodeView for MS-DOS, versions 4.0, 4.01, 4.05 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== Microsoft CodeView for MS-DOS versions 4.0, 4.01, and 4.05 do not restore breakpoints or watches between sessions when invoked with "/2" for dual monitor debugging. Normally, CodeView will restore all breakpoints and watches that were set from the last debugging session. CAUSE ===== An invalid command for dual monitor debugging is listed in the CURRENT.STS file. When CodeView reads this invalid command, it discontinutes reading the rest of the status file. RESOLUTION ========== Remove the following line from the CURRENT.STS file COMMAND:OF+ (turn screen swapping on). This option is not valid in dual-monitor mode. Since this option is written each time you exit CodeView, you will need to modify the CURRENT.STS file each time you invoke CodeView. STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in CodeView versions 4.0, 4.01, and 4.05. This problem was corrected in CodeView version 4.1. MORE INFORMATION ================ CodeView stores the following information in the CURRENT.STS file between debugging sessions: Window layout Breakpoints Watch expressions Source, Local, and Memory display options Global CodeView options such as case sensitivity and radix Additional query words: 4.00 4.10 ====================================================================== Keywords : kb16bitonly Technology : kbAudDeveloper kbCodeView kbZNotKeyword3 kbCodeView400DOS kbCodeView401DOS kbCodeView405DOS Version : :4.0,4.01,4.05 Solution Type : kbfix ============================================================================= THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE MICROSOFT KNOWLEDGE BASE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
