Creating a debug task

To create a Visual C++ debug task using the create_dt utility:

1. At a command prompt, enter create_dt followed by the name of the debug task, as follows:

C:\> create_dt <debugtaskname>

For example, the VSweep user module that was created in the

that returns data arrays

VSweepDebug.To create the debug task, you enter the following at the command line prompt:

C:\> create_dt VSweepDebug

2. Press Enter. The create_dt utility:

Generates a debug-task main program and a Microsoft

in the %KIPGM% subdirectory. %KIPGM% specifically, and %NAME% generally, are environment variables.

Each such environment variable is a string variable that stores a directory-path string. The default

content of %KIPGM% is C:\s4200\kiuser\dbtask\. Use the set command-line utility to change the

content of %KIPGM%.

The utility starts the Microsoft Visual C++ development environment.

The following figure shows the Solution Explorer area for the VSweepDebug debug task.

3. Expand the <debugtaskname> files item to display the files in the <debugtaskname> Visual

C++ project.

4. Double-click <debugtaskname>.c. The Visual C++ development environment displays the

debug task source code that was generated by the create_dt utility. The figure in
