In VBA, I can move the execution point around flexibly, allowing me to skip or repeat steps. Is this possible in the LO Basic IDE?
No.
Thanks, that’s a pity.
Am I correct in assuming that there is also no way to avoid having to restart a macro from the beginning if I uncomment a line of code while debugging?
If BASIC still has GOTO you can use it to jump to your new starting line. I didn’t try in the last 40 years.
I just saw that it actually is possible to uncomment a line of code while debugging without having to restart the debugger, at least in some cases.
Thanks for the response, but that’s not quite what I’m referring to. Sometimes during debugging (not during regular code execution) it is beneficial to be able to decide ad-hoc to skip a line or jump to another position in the code. For example if you need to preserve a value presently stored in a variable, and executing a specific line of code would change the value, so you jump over the line and continue debugging with the next line.
