Debugger Scripting

airwave — Sat, 28 Oct 2023 21:07:51 GMT

Hello Experts,

Do you know what is the reason why this script is not executable? It is showing syntax error , with class tpda_scr_globals_it it is executable but not with tpda_scr_locals_it. Is there a restriction from SAP why it may not be executable.
Looking forward to your reply. Thank you in advance.

Difficult to help if you don't post the message of the syntax error.

I tried your code. The syntax error is very clear:

Comma without preceding colon (after LS_LOCALS ?).

What don't you understand?

Please disregard typo eror with "comma without preceding colon".

In the end even after correcting the code doesn't do what it should do.

All what I see is the message although I am not using the program RSTPDA_SCRIPT_DUMMY

The program "RSTPDA_SCRIPT_DUMMY" is not Unicode-compatible, according to its program attributes.

Pls. help why it is not working as expected.

I can "disregard" your original question if you update it. Don't post an answer just to change your original question.

I see nowhere in your code the presence of "RSTPDA_SCRIPT_DUMMY". Again, difficult to help if the question is unclear...

I don't understand what you mean with?

Don't post an answer just to change your original question

I have never have tried to change the original question. The syntax error doesn't change

the fact that it is not possible to trace the internal variables same as the globals. You can simply

test by your own to see that Write a sniplet and test above script.

When you perform the script by using the type tpda_scr_globals_it intead using tpda_scr_locals_it

you will notice it is working. But not by using tpda_scr_locals_it. This is still the original question.

First please explain what exactly means "it is not working"?

(I ran the script, I don't know what your question is)

Hi Sandra,

you can trace global/local variables from any program by this way while Debugging with this script.

You can test this with below script.

You need simply to load this script as local file and execute directly. This generates an entry where you can later see in transaction SAS.

The issue is when you are using above script where I am tracing the local variables of a program

by using of class tpda_scr_locals_it then it fails

and end up with the message "syntax error" and no more detailed error message.

But in below script I am refering to class tpda_scr_globals_it. This works fine.

tpda_scr_globals_it => works fine

tpda_scr_locals_it => fails
