traceReturn

Type

property

Summary

Used by the script debugger to specify whether a handler is being traced through, line by line.

Syntax

set the traceReturn to {true | false}

Description

Use the traceReturn property to step forward in the script being debugged.

When a handler is traced, each line is executed, after a specified delay. Using the script debugger, you can trace a handler slowly while watching the order in which lines are executed and the value of variables as they change, in order to track down any errors in the handler.

If the debugger is not active, setting this property has no effect.

Important

This property may change or be removed in future releases.
