sdebug - display debugging information on the screen
sdebug (format [, arg ] ... )
char *format;
This function has the same calling sequence as printf except that
there cannot be more than 10 parameters. It displays debugging
information on the screen. Sdebug converts the format and args to
a string with ftnirps(C-3), moves
the cursor to the next to the
last line on the screen, and displays the string on the screen.
After displaying the message, sdebug waits for the operator to
type a single character. After reading the character, sdebug
erases the line and returns to its caller.
Sdebug is used for displaying variables and other information
from inside the user edit routine. After each message is
displayed, sdebug waits for the operator to type a character so
that the message can be seen. After a character is typed, the
message is erased. The character that is typed in response to a
sdebug message is not saved.

Chapter 3, Form Programming Guide
Sdebug is only available in user edit routines. Sdebug is only
available in the large model library, \cbase\lib\lcbase.lib.
Since ftnirps(C-3) does not implement
floating point conversions,
you must convert floating point values first using realtoa(C-3),
moneytoa(C-3) or sprintf.
Remember that realtoa, moneytoa, and most other conversion
routines return pointers to static data that is overwritten with
each call.
