DBG_SELECT_FILE

Specify location of Select debugging log

The DBG_SELECT_FILE environment variable tells where the Select debugging log will be written.

Value

Either the name of the file to which output will be written or TT:. If DBG_SELECT_FILE is not set, TT: is the default.

Discussion

On Windows, when using dbs (or from Synergy .NET), the output goes to the same console window where the program was started. When using dbr, a new DBG window is created, and output goes to this window. (As with the Synergy debugger, you can use the DBG_BUFFER environment variable to alter the size of this window if necessary.) On Unix and OpenVMS, output goes directly to the terminal window (as it does with TT:) unless a filename is specified.

Setting location

The environment. DBG_SELECT_FILE can be reset by the SETLOG routine, and the runtime interprets the new setting.
