(Default = 50)

ALARM-BREAKPOINTS-MAXIMUM  <value>

 

Defines the maximum number of breakpoints available within each processor of the system.

 

A breakpoint is used by a programmer to stop the execution of a process at a particular location. The operating system maintains a table of breakpoints currently defined. If the processor breakpoint table becomes full, additional breakpoints are not allowed.

 

The current number of breakpoints defined within a processor is available to MOMI via a system call. However, the maximum number available within a processor is not available to MOMI. This keyword defines a maximum that MOMI uses for computational purposes (used by the alarm CPU / Breakpoints).

 

Current systems do not have a practical limit on the number of breakpoints that may be set. The older S-Series systems had a fixed limit defined within SYSGEN.

 

           

Example:

                                   == Set MAXIMUM breakpoints

                                   ==  to 75

ALARM-BREAKPOINTS-MAXIMUM 75
