Asset Suite / PassPortGeek

Attempting to use PassPort and Animate on the same PC does not allow for the direct Animation of a user selecting an Option. The work around is to use two PC's.

Use the same user ID to start an Animate session on one PC and log into PassPort on another PC.

In the PassPort session, go to the PassPort panel you are interested in and populate data to the point where you wish to execute an Option. Enter the File, Preferences, Diagnostics, Port Number. Hit enter and PassPort hangs waiting for the Animator session.

In the Animator session, set a break at the very first line of code in the panel's ccp program to make certain you don't miss a re-entry. Set other breaks where you think you might need them. Zoom until control goes back to the PassPort session on the other PC.

In the PassPort session, click Options and the drop down list of Options should appear. Select an Option, PassPort should hang and control should pass to the Animate session.

In the Animate session you should now be able to trace the code executed by the Option. The Option specific code usually starts from paragraph 6000-.
