While debugging, you can change the value of a variable.
To change the contents of a variable in the Variables view:
- Select the variable whose value you want to modify.
- If necessary, expand the variable to show its individual elements.
- Scroll down to the variable you want to change and right-click
the variable or variable element, and choose Change Value from
the pop-up menu.
Note: If you select a variable for editing and
its value field cannot be edited, the variable is a type that cannot be modified.
- In the Set Value dialog box, complete one
of the following steps:
- To set the value of the variable to NULL, select
the Set to NULL check box and click OK.
When Set to NULL is selected, the entry field is disabled
and cannot be used.
- To change the variable value to something other than NULL,
alter the value in the field and click OK.
If you give the variable an invalid value, a message will appear in
the read-only Errors section of the dialog box. The OK button
will be disabled and you will need to change the variable to a valid value
or click Cancel to discard the changes.
- To indicate that the variable value has changed, its indicator
will have a delta symbol next to it. All variables affected by the change
will also have a delta symbol next to their indicators.
Alternatively, you can change the contents of a variable in the Details
Pane. To do this, change the value in the Details Pane and then
press Ctrl+S to save the value.
