Debugging an offline report

Former Member — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 15:29:15 GMT

Hi,

I need to debug a user-exit program in an offline report. How would I do this?

When I try and execute the program, I get the information message at the bottom of the screen

"The main program is not an online report"

It is the program MV50AFZ1, for MM consumption. Hope this helps.

It's an include program, so you cannot execute it directly. You have to execute the transaction that runs the program that includes it.

Hi Joe Lee,

Your program MV50AFZ1 is an include program. it is called by

module-pool program SAPMV50A.It is not possible to run as a report program.So, it gives that error.

Thank you,

Prasad G.V.K

Thank you very much for the info!

Then is there any way to debug this pool? How do I test my code?

In SE80, find the transactions for program SAPMV50A and execute one that will execute your exit.

Thank you, but how do I find the transactions? I have the program open in SE80.

Under the "transaction" area.

Thank you very much for the helpful answers!

Using WHERE USED for the module pool, it shows VL01 as one of the transactions.

However, in SE80, the Repository Browser is completely blank. I know this is turning into a SAP GUI issue, but does anyone know how to get the list of objects/programs/classes to show up under the Repository Browser?

you need to select program in the frist field drop down listbox, and put SAPMV50A in the 2nd field. Then press enter and it will bring all the objects for that program.

i just did the same and I got almost 10 transaction rigth from VL01 to VL43 to VLUNIV

Is the object type "program" and the program "SAPMV50A"? Did you press the display button to the right of the program name?

Yes, I understand that I need to click on the Program, and do a search in the box, but what I'm saying is that there is not even a search box there, or the Programs section. I am at a new company, and it doesnt show Programs or Classes or Function Modules at all in the Repository Browser. The left side of the screen is 2 completely blank panes. Nothing in them, so I cannot search for programs. Does anyone know how to fix this?
