Select [Add Data Item] from the context menu or toolbar to display the [Add
Data Item] dialog. To add a data item to the Watch view, specify a data name,
program name, and [Suspend by Value Change].
To add a data item defined for
a class method, specify "class-name:method-name" for the program name.
An alternative method of adding a data item to the Watch view is to double-click the item in the COBOL editor and select [Add to Watch View] from the context menu.
Data items can be added to the Watch view only during debugging. After debugging starts, a data item can be added to the Watch view while the debugging is interrupted, such as at a breakpoint.
