Chapter 9: Debugger Commands
Symbol Remove
Symbol Remove
The Symbol Remove command removes the specified symbol from the symbol
table. Only program symbols and user-defined debugger symbols can be
deleted from the symbol table.
To delete all symbols within a named module or function, append a backslash
(\) to the module or function name (< symbol_name> ).
Symbol Remove updateSys\
Entering a backslash without a module or function name deletes all symbols in
all modules.
Symbol Remove \
If you specify a symbol name without a module specification, the debugger
looks for the symbol in the current module.
If you specify more than one symbol to be deleted or if the specified symbol
has local symbols (for example, when a macro is deleted), the debugger
requests confirmation. Entering ,y after the symbol name provides automatic
confirmation of the request. This option is useful in command files.
The debugger lets you add a debugger symbol with the same name as a target
module's local symbol or a predefined macro's local symbol. If you do add a
debugger symbol with same name as a local symbol, you must specify the
entire symbol name with the Symbol Remove command in order to remove it.
For example, if you added the debugger symbol alter_settings when running the
demonstration program, you must enter \\alter_settings instead of alter_settings
to delete the symbol because there is a local symbol alter_settings in target
module updateSys. Otherwise the error message error # 152, Cannot delete:
more than one symbol with this name is displayed.
