Procedure

  1. In the Memory view Renderings pane, select the mapped rendering where you want to make the change.
  2. Scroll down to the field that you want to change. Alternatively, right-click in the rendering and choose the Find Field menu item. This will open the Find Field dialog box, in which you can enter a field that you want to jump to.
  3. Perform one of the following tasks to change memory contents:
    1. Double-click the field or its value. This will cause the field value to be in edit mode and you can then enter a valid value for that memory location.
    2. Right-click the field or its value and choose Edit Value from the menu. This will cause the field value to be in edit mode and you can then enter a valid value for that memory location.
  4. Perform one of the following tasks to change a field description:
    1. Double-click the field's Description cell. This will cause the description to be in edit mode and you can then enter a description or edit an existing one.
    2. Right-click the field and choose Edit Description from the menu. This will cause the description to be in edit mode and you can then enter a description or edit an existing one.
  5. Press Enter to submit the change. If you are changing memory contents, the debugger checks for a valid value.

Results

To edit the descriptions of multiple fields at the same time, select the fields using the keyboard Ctrl or Shift keys and then right-click and select Edit Description from the menu. This opens the Edit Description dialog box, which allows you to edit the descriptions of the fields and apply one description to all fields that were selected.

Note: You can only edit field descriptions. You cannot edit the descriptions of partitioned elements or organization groups.
