First, you use TEST to establish the requisite/desired breakpoints and watchpoints in the appropriate programs and other modules, then execute the main program.

Best would be to find someone in your shop familiar with the debugger who can guide you through its use.

Just EXECUTE the program from the Natural “monitor” (run system, NEXT prompt).
