# dbdown

## Purpose

Change local workspace context.

## Synopsis

    dbdown

## Description

`dbdown` changes the current workspace context to the workspace of the called M-file function when a breakpoint is encountered. You must have issued the `dbup` command at least once before you can issue this command.

Multiple `dbdown` commands change the workspace context to each successively executed M-file function on the stack until the current workspace context is the current breakpoint. It is not necessary, however, to move back to the current breakpoint to continue execution or to step to the next line.
