Using the Database Tables Window
The Tables Window displays information about all open tables and their corresponding columns. You can access the Tables window from the Debug Menu by selecting Windows and choosing Tables.
The Tables Window is only enabled and up to date when the program is in normal break mode; it’s not enabled in limited break mode. As you step through the program, the window is automatically updated to reflect changes.
Of Special Note
- Note that table column data represents the state of your data within the global buffer and not the state of your data within data dictionaries. When data is changed within your DDO, the data change may not be reflected in the global buffers.
- Remember that the current record may not be the same as the DDO’s current record. You are usually more interested in the state of your data inside of your data-dictionary objects.
- The table column data represents the state of the global buffer in the program you’re debugging, and not necessarily the state of the tables. Other users could have changed the data in the table.
