The Microsoft Pascal Compiler Version 4.00 generates no symbolic
debugging information for Pascal Units. As a result, when tracing
through a Pascal program Unit, attempting to access any local
variables by using trace/watchpoints, dumps, examines, etc. yields a
"symbol unknown" error.

The only workaround is to transform the program Units into Modules.
