7.0
SYNTAX : ARG CTRL_X
RESULTING ARGUMENT: The previous value (meant for use in sequences to be
able to change a setting, trap the previous value,
and restore it on exit).
FUNCTION : Log file can be set to ON or OFF.
ON : Extensive debug-information is written
to a file while executing commands.
The file is named and located similar to TVback,
but with '_dbg' appended to the filename.
The content of debugging is:
- command lists encountered by the parser
- individual commands, with their parameters,
to be executed
- evaluation of expressions
- messages to be displayed.
- iteration identification
- iteration counter
So, all parser internal decisions and flow are
printed to the debug output-file. This can
become a huge amount of data, so it should not
be left on all the time. It also makes TV a bit
slower in execution. The advantages are that it
allows for following the exact path of the
parser through a macro. The debug-information
is usually more helpful in solving issues in
macros than the content of a backup-file.
OFF : No debug-information is logged.
ARGUMENT : 70: set to ON
71: set to OFF
DEFAULT : OFF
TVini may overrule this.
NOTE : The settings-requester allows comfortable interactive
setting of these values on the Amiga.
