I have following set sentence in my COBOL program

in line number 100 move CAP-count to ws-variable

in line number 149 ws-variale to ap-count

in line number 200 AP-count to Zoe-conunt

finally it moved into a record variable called appl-count

I am going to trace backwards . Ist puting monitor option and then pressing F12 after that I want to know is there any command to trace only these variable ie from appl-count I want to go the sentence from where is move to this appl-count variable

ie appl-count ---> zo-count

then I want to go directly to zo-count --> ap-count
then ap-count to w-variale

like that can any one help me

Hi,

I think you can put breakpoints at those lines and using F12 key you can track the lines.

Using F12 will help you to track only the lines you want.

Hope this helps.

Actaully using Gt will not execute the lines between them. But if we use break point the and move to that, all the line will be executed.
