Library /sys$common/syshlp/dbg$help.hlb DEBUG, Language Support, Pascal, Restrictions  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    Restrictions in debugger support for Pascal are as follows.

    You can examine a VARYING OF CHAR string, but you cannot examine
    the .LENGTH or .BODY fields using the normal language syntax. For
    example, if VARS is the name of a string variable, the following
    commands are not supported:

    DBG> EXAMINE VARS.LENGTH
    DBG> EXAMINE VARS.BODY

    To examine these fields, use the techniques illustrated in the
    following examples.

    Use                Instead of

    EXAMINE/WORD VARS  EXAMINE VARS.LENGTH
    EXAMINE/ASCII      EXAMINE VARS.BODY
    VARS+2
