SYMPTOMS
Microsoft CodeView for MS-DOS versions 4.0, 4.01, and 4.05 do not restore breakpoints or watches between sessions when invoked with &quot;/2&quot; for dual monitor debugging. Normally, CodeView will restore all breakpoints and watches that were set from the last debugging session.



CAUSE
An invalid command for dual monitor debugging is listed in the CURRENT.STS file. When CodeView reads this invalid command, it discontinutes reading the rest of the status file.



RESOLUTION
Remove the following line from the CURRENT.STS file COMMAND:OF+ (turn screen swapping on). This option is not valid in dual-monitor mode. Since this option is written each time you exit CodeView, you will need to modify the CURRENT.STS file each time you invoke CodeView.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in CodeView versions 4.0, 4.01, and 4.05. This problem was corrected in CodeView version 4.1.



MORE INFORMATION
CodeView stores the following information in the CURRENT.STS file between debugging sessions:

Window layout

Breakpoints

Watch expressions

Source, Local, and Memory display options

Global CodeView options such as case sensitivity and radix

Additional query words: 4.00 4.10
