Watches are a debugging tool that can be used in the Task Builder for examining the states of variables and conditions within a running task.
A watch can simply be the name of a variable. For example, to watch the value of an AutoMate BPA Server 7 variable named TotalCount, add a watch that contains simply TotalCount.
Embedded expressions can also be used within a watch, using the same syntax as a standard AutoMate BPA Server 7 embedded expression. To watch the length of an AutoMate BPA Server 7 variable called "myName", add a watch Len(myName)
When a task is run in Task Builder, Watches are re-evaluated after each step is executed. When a task runs outside the Task Builder, for example when a task is started, the watches are ignored.
Watches can be added, removed, or modified using the Watches View of the Debug Window.
