Syntax
Saving the debug dump in the current dynamic audit
dbgSaveDebugDump()
Remark: This syntax saves the memory dump in the dynamic audit file if the audit is enabled (
dbgEnableAudit). The function has no effect if the dynamic audit is not enabled. The audit can be enabled by
dbgEnableAudit.
Saving the debug dump in a file Hide the details
dbgSaveDebugDump(<Name of dump file>)
<Name of dump file>: Character string (with quotes)
Name of the file where the dump is saved. The name of the file can be built with the following elements: | |
| [%ExeDir%] | Directory of executable, always filled with the "\" character. This directory is equivalent to the result of fExeDir. |
| [%ExeName%] | Executable name. |
| [%Date%] | Start date of the debug dump (YYYYMMDD format). |
| [%Time%] | Start time of the debug dump (HHMMSS format). |
| [%UserName%] | Name of current user. |
| [%ComputerName%] | Computer name. |
 Versions 18 and later[%DataDir%]  New in version 18[%DataDir%] | Directory of HFSQL data files specified by the user when installing the application. This directory is equivalent to the result of fDataDir. |
Versions 18 and later[%DirUserData%] New in version 18[%DirUserData%] [%DirUserData%] | Directory for the data of the current user of the current application. This directory is equivalent to the result of fDataDirUser. |
If this parameter corresponds to an empty string (""): - The extension of the file will be ".wdump".
- the name of the created file corresponds to: "[%UserDataDir%][%ExeName%]_[%Date%]_[%Time%]".
For example: "C:\Users\Doc\AppData\Roaming\WINDEV Applications\MyApp\MyApp_20091023_130812.wdump".
Versions 22 and laterCaution: If you use the dynamic string construction ("Allow "[% %]" in the strings" in the "Compilation" tab of the project description), a compilation error occurs (unknown identifier). In this case, each string must be preceded by '-%'. Example:
dbgSaveDebugDump("[%UserDataDir%][%exeName%]_[%Date%]_[%Time%]")
becomes
dbgSaveDebugDump(-%"[%UserDataDir%][%ExeName%]_[%Date%]_[%Time%]")
New in version 22Caution: If you use the dynamic string construction ("Allow "[% %]" in the strings" in the "Compilation" tab of the project description), a compilation error occurs (unknown identifier). In this case, each string must be preceded by '-%'. Example:
dbgSaveDebugDump("[%UserDataDir%][%exeName%]_[%Date%]_[%Time%]")
becomes
dbgSaveDebugDump(-%"[%UserDataDir%][%ExeName%]_[%Date%]_[%Time%]")
Caution: If you use the dynamic string construction ("Allow "[% %]" in the strings" in the "Compilation" tab of the project description), a compilation error occurs (unknown identifier). In this case, each string must be preceded by '-%'. Example:
dbgSaveDebugDump("[%UserDataDir%][%exeName%]_[%Date%]_[%Time%]")

Remarks
Windows of exceptions and errors
The windows of exceptions and errors propose an option that is used to save a debug dump when the exception or the error occurs. It is the following link:
"Save the information for the application provider (debug dump)"
Processing exceptions by programming
dbgSaveDebugDump called from the process code of an exception saves the dump of the status at the time of the exception and not the dump of the current status in the exception process.
To save the status when the exception occurs, dbgSaveDebugDump must be called from the exception process directly.
If dbgSaveDebugDump is used from a procedure (or method) called in the exception process, the status saved will be the one of the current process: the stack will no longer correspond to the exception.
