#if @HELP_DBSTOP

    DBSTOP

    Purpose: Sets a debugger breakpoint

    Syntax:  DBSTOP function
             DBSTOP lineno

             DBSTOP("function")
             DBSTOP(lineno)

             function - name of SPL routine
             lineno   - optional integer, line number


    Returns: Nothing, sets a breakpoint in the function


    Example:
             dbstop myfunc
             dbcont

             myfunc(10)
             dbstop 7
             dbcont

             Sets a breakpoint in the SPL routine named myfunc and
             starts debugging. The myfunc routine is then called and
             a new breakpoint is established at line 7.

    Remarks:
             Use DBCONT to start the debugging process. Use DBSTEP or
             DBCONT to resume execution after a breakpoint has been
             reached. Use DBQUIT to exit debugging.

             Any DADiSP command or function can be executed once a breakpoint
             has been reached.

             Both the command form,

                  DBSTOP function

             and functional form

                  DBSTOP("function")

             are supported.
