Description of the Arguments

rule

The rule in which a breakpoint is to be set. If this parameter is missing, the actual rule will be used instead.

line

The rule line in which the breakpoint is to be set. If it is missing and a rule is explicitly indicated, the breakpoint will be set on the first expression of the rule. If the rule line is missing and there is no rule explicitly indicated, the breakpoint will be set on the actual line in the actual rule.

disabled

If this parameter is chosen, the breakpoint will for the moment be deactivated, otherwise it is activated.

condition

If a condition is indicated here, the breakpoint will only be considered if the accompanying condition is met.

Note

If the expression indicating the condition contains blanks outside strings, the blanks have to be marked with backslashes!
