Debugging inside a loop

Former Member — Wed, 16 Jul 2014 12:59:33 GMT

Hi,

In a loop I am having 250 record ( eg : yr 2005/02 to 2013/08 ) .I am getting error in the year 2013 ( from 2013/01 to 2013/08) . Only from 2013 i need to debug instead going all the 200 records. How can i debug only the selected record(2013) in my loop while debugging.

Set a watchpoint for year (I don't know the name of the variable) = 2013

Look at online help for New Debugger, Control, Watchpoints

Hi Meenakshi,

You can create a watch point for variable SY-TABIX for respective internal table.

Hi Meenakshi,

Use watch point, with the free condition, date(4) = '2013'.

Press enter. Then F8, each time when the condition satisfies the control will stop at the particular line.

Or, suppose you want to set this condition for a break point... follow this..

Hello,

Once you set Breaking Point inside a loop. Go to Break./Watchpoints tab , enter the number of iterations in Skip column section for which control should not halt.

Now control will directly jump to next one(Skip + 1) and halt there once you press F8.

HI,

If you know the number of entries before the line desired in internal table, you can skip those number of lines by going to break/watchpoint tab and keep a breakpoint inside your loop. So it stops for the iteration skipping the number of line mentioned.

If you do not know the number of lines before your desired line, create a watch point with condition where you can specify a value for a variable and cotrol will be stopped once that variable is populated with the value specified.
