Re: Debugging libraries
Thanks for the reply Mark, I did that (after declaring the global first) but breakpoints did not break! But then I discovered that the error was that I was calling a function as a command. To my recollection the sqlYoga sqlquery_retrieveAsData was a command like the array and record variants, but apparently not. It's a function so the code never got around to executing. DOH!

Hi all. There is a global variable, I thought it was gRevDevelopment, where you set it to true if you need to debug a script which begins with "lib". I cannot think what that global is!
