Suspend When Called bug in 2009

[Omar Mussa]

I use the suspend when called feature a lot. Its a really great feature for debugging. However in LabVIEW 2009, the feature no longer works the same way.

In LabVIEW <=8.6, you could update the inputs to a suspended VI and rerun your code and it would use those inputs to determine code execution.

In LabVIEW 2009, if you change the inputs of the suspended VI, the VI still runs with whatever the caller VI passed into the VI.

Here's a video to demonstrate this issue.

If this wasn't an intended feature, it is a ridiculously handy accident. I'd be disappointed if its removal was an intentional change in 2009.

'suspend when called' has been there since the early days of LabVIEW.

This was reported to R&D (# 192207) for further investigation. Thanks for the feedback!

Wow, three years of LV programming and I never knew that feature existed. Funny how little tricks like this pop up unexpectedly.

And now it's gone... Farewell little 'Suspend when called.' Though I knew you not, I miss you already.
