bxDump(label=[string], top=[numeric], expand=[boolean], abort=[boolean], output=[string], format=[string], showUDFs=[boolean])

Outputs the contents of a variable (simple or complex) of any type for debugging purposes to a specific output location.

, The available ,,output,, locations are: - ,,buffer,,: The output is written to the buffer, which is the default location. If running on a web server, the output is written to the browser. - ,,console,,: The output is printed to the System console. - ,,Absolute File Path,, The output is written to a file with the specified absolute file path. ,

,

The output format can be either HTML or plain text.

The default format is HTML if the output location is the buffer or a web server or a file, otherwise it is plain text for the console.

Arguments:

Argument	Type	Required	Default
label	string	false	null
top	numeric	false	null
expand	boolean	false	true
abort	boolean	false	false
output	string	false	null
format	string	false	null
showUDFs	boolean	false	true

decimalFormat(length=[integer])
