Example: Specifying How Frequently Your Virtual Machine Is to Stop (STOP n/STEP n)

Unless you specify otherwise, CP stops your virtual machine every time it traps an event. If you use the RUN option, CP does not stop your virtual machine when it traps events.

Use STOP n if you want CP to stop your virtual machine only after the first n events. Use STEP n if you want CP to stop your virtual machine only after every n events.

For example, if you want CP to stop your virtual machine only after it has trapped seven instructions, enter:

trace instruction stop 7

If you want CP to stop your virtual machine after every seven instructions it traps, enter:

trace instruction step 7

If you want CP to stop your virtual machine after it has traced 20 instructions and then after every seventh instruction, enter:

trace instruction stop 20 step 7
