# Setting the command line arguments

To debug a program that uses command line parameters, it is possible to have the debugger call the generated program with certain command line arguments automatically.

To change the command line arguments used when debugging:

- Open the Debug, Debugging Options Dialog
- In this dialog, you can change the current arguments and also store and load argument sets.
- Click OK.

Tip: To get the command line arguments in a program, it is possible to either define the root feature as taking an array of STRING_8 objects, or to use the ARGUMENTS class, which provides a lot of functionality linked with command line arguments.
