Documentation

README

ADVPL/TLPP Debugging

This skill provides a systematic methodology for diagnosing and resolving ADVPL/TLPP errors: a decision flow (compilation vs. runtime), a quick-diagnosis table by symptom, logging tool guidance (Conout, FWLogMsg, ErrorBlock), database lock diagnosis (RecLock/MsUnlock), and quick performance checks (wrong index, array growth in loops, Embedded SQL vs ISAM).

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
