Debug -- Watch value from a breakpoint

How do you set up a breakpoint and get and/or watch the value from the particular link? Do you do this in Director or Designer?

Ensure that you have chosen View>Debug which will display the debug tool bar. Once the job is successfully compiled you can choose a link, right click on the link and choose "Toggle Breakpoint". You can then right click on the link and choose "Edit Breakpoint" to further refine your debugging criteria.

You will need to run the job from the designer using the "Run" from the debug menu, if you choose the normal run button then you will not see your debug results.

You need to play with this feature a bit and I'm sure you'll get the hang of it. There are buttons on the debug bar that allow you to step into, skip links etc...
