setting up VFP IDE environment for debugging - debugging

Question

I am trying to set up the environment for VFP for an app I have tried SET DEFAULT & SET PATH TO I have also tried to use Environment Manager to all the directories of the prodject but when I run the program I have to use the locate dialog to find the files that the programe needs, main programme sets the environment I think, the code looks like this
CLOSE DATABASES ALL
CLOSE TABLE ALL
SET SYSMENU OFF
SET STATUS OFF
SET STATUS BAR OFF
_VFP.autoyield = .F.
IF FILE("c:\pb1\photobooth\photographer.exe")
SET DEFAULT TO c:\pb1\photobooth
ELSE
ON ERROR DO FORM FORMS\errorfrm WITH ERROR( ), MESSAGE( ), MESSAGE(1), PROGRAM( ), LINENO( )
ENDIF
SET PATH TO ..\CommandBars\Redistr,..\wwclient\,..\sfquery,..\classes,..\wwclient\classes, c:\sdt\sdt\source,c:\sdt\sdt\,..\xfrx,..\xfrx\xfrxlib
SET CLASSLIB TO (HOME()+"ffc\_reportlistener")
SET PROCEDURE TO PROGS\procfile ADDITIVE
SET PROCEDURE TO ..\xfrx\utilityreportlistener.prg ADDITIVE
SET PROCEDURE TO wwUtils ADDITIVE
SET PROCEDURE TO wwEval ADDITIVE
SET PROCEDURE TO CodeBlockClass ADDITIVE <-----
SET CLASSLIB TO wwIPStuff ADDITIVE
SET CLASSLIB TO wwXML ADDITIVE
SET PROCEDURE TO wwHTTP ADDITIVE
SET PROCEDURE TO WWPOP3 ADDITIVE
SET STATUS BAR ON
SET DATE BRITISH
SET DELETED ON
SET SAFETY OFF
SET MULTILOCKS ON
ON KEY LABEL SHIFT+F1 gl_diag=!gl_diag
I am looking for a way to run the programme with out errors so that I can find out why the app is not parsing all data to an XML file Tamar has provided a goog guide to debugging I just need to run the programme to the point the XML get generated. the errors start at the point indicated by the arrow

If the main program is setting the environment, you will likely be overwriting some of the settings by not using the ADDITIVE keyword. In your example, it looks like this is the case for SET PATH and SET CLASSLIB.
Example One - without ADDITIVE
*--- Main program
SET PATH TO "C:\VFP9"
*--- Debug setup
SET PATH TO "D:\Debug"
?set('Path')
Output: D:\Debug
Example Two - with ADDITIVE
*--- Main program
SET PATH TO "C:\VFP9"
*--- Debug setup
SET PATH TO "D:\Debug" ADDITIVE
?set('Path')
Output: D:\Debug;C:\VFP9
