# debug statement

The debug statement temporarily suspends
execution of a FlashBASIC or BASIC program and invokes the FlashBASIC
or BASIC debugger.

## Syntax

```
debug
```

## Description

The program can also be run
with the d option, or, if cataloged, activated with
a d option.

The g command
in the FlashBASIC or BASIC debugger returns control to the FlashBASIC
or BASIC program and continues execution at the next executable statement
in the program.

## Example(s)

```
crt ’command ’:
input response
if response = "d" then debug
```
