Remarks
Changes made to the arguments or switches apply to future invocations of this command. If you issue Debug.ListCallStackby itself, the entire call stack displays. If you specify an index, for example,
Debug.ListCallStack 2
then the current stack frame is set to that frame (in this case, the second frame).
You can also write this command using its pre-defined alias, kb. For example, you can enter
kb 2
to set the current stack frame to the second frame.
Example
>Debug.CallStack /Count:4 /ShowTypes:yes
