When you are running a program in debug mode, how do you display the contents of a variable? You respond, "By using the EVAL debug command, of course!" But have you tried that with an array that has more than 500 elements? The command EVAL MYARRAY will show only the first 500 elements of the array.
The debugger does provide a method for you to work around this by specifying the range of array elements to display. To specify the range, use the command EVAL MYARRAY(x..y) where x is the first element of the range and y is the last element of the range. For example, EVAL MYARRAY(501..600) would display elements 501 to 600 of the array MYARRAY. Furthermore, when you specify the range yourself, you can request more than 500 elements.
