Debug a submit and return statement

former_member295881 — Tue, 08 Oct 2013 20:52:02 GMT

Hello Experts,

I'm calling a program from a function module using Submit and return statement as shown below. There is a logic that I need to debug and I've set External break point as well as Session break point in both FM (before and on this statement) and in the Program but SAP doesn't stop at any of the break points. I've spend so much time but I'm not able to reach into the program z_craete_rerate_doc_batch.

       submit z_craete_rerate_doc_batch
              user sy-uname
              via job lv_jname
              number lv_jcount
              to sap-spool without spool dynpro
              with destination = 'LOCL'
              with immediately = space
              with keep_in_spool = 'X'
              with selection-table i_seltab
              and return.

I'm wondering is there any special way to set break point for Submit and return programs? Please let me know if there is any possibility to debug this.

I've also tried all the options provided in the following thread but nothing works.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi,

You are calling the program in a background job which means you cannot debug directly.

You can simulate the debugging by SM37 and JDBJ option.

Thanks

HI,

Its getting submitted as a Job. You will have to use the transaction JDBG to debug the Job after submission and processing is complete.

Cheers,
