Q32265: CHAIN Statement in Compiled BASIC Not Supported by CodeView |

In Microsoft CodeView, when debugging compiled BASIC programs that
CHAIN, you can view only the first program executed (the one given in
the CV command line). The modules that are CHAINed-to cannot be viewed
or stepped through, and their variables cannot be looked at, even if
these modules are successfully executed. In fact, you cannot gain any
information about the CHAINed modules, other than whether or not they
execute correctly, unless you execute them separately in CodeView.
This information applies to QuickBASIC Versions 4.00 and 4.00b,
and the Microsoft BASIC Compiler Version 6.00 for MS-DOS and OS/2.
