**#DEBUG(** //value// **)**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **#DEBUG** | Toggles debug generation on and off. |
| //value// | A symbol containing zero (0) or one(1). When zero, debug generation is turned off. When one, debug generation is turned on. |

The **#DEBUG** statement toggles debug generation on and off, and overrides the Debug Generation setting in the Application Options dialog. When this is checked, #DEBUG controls the specific sections to output to the text file, so the file can be restricted to a manageable size.

**Example:**

**#SET(%DebugSet,1)**

**#DEBUG****(%DebugSet)    #!Set debug generation on**

**IF Action = 1        #<;!If adding a record**

**  SomeVariable = InitVariable**

**END**

**#SET(%DebugSet,0)**

**#DEBUG(%DebugSet)    #!Set debug generation off**
