while debugging, can we move back to a previous passed step?

While debugging can we move back to a previous step of debugging or debugging is only a one way (forward) procedure.

Hope you are talking about ABAP debugging in SAP R/3.

We wish to go at previous step during debugging, but not possible. Its not like VB debugging

Hi,

Going to a previously step is not possible in debugging...only option have a new break-point at that point and re-start debugging...

Hello Siddique,

You can go to the previous step while debugging.

Place cursor on the step you want to go back. Go to Debugging Menu and click on "Goto Statement" option

hi,

I believe, YOu can NOT go back to the statements, but what you can do is put a BREAK-POINT by double clicking on the line(starting place) and then Say SAVE. next time you can stop that statement.

GUYS U CAN GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS STEP.

U KEEP THE CURSOR IN THE LINE WHICH HAS BEEN ALREADY EXECUTED , GOTO THE 'DEBUGGING MENU->GOTO STATEMENT'

Hi Dinu,

Although this entry has been 7 years back, I still want to say something about this GOTO STATEMENT.

Yes, GOTO STATEMENT can let you navigate forward and backward. But, in my opinion, it does has it's bad side too...

This GOTO STATEMENT, when you used it to navigate backwared, the values does not revert to the original value... but it just continue from the value of last step... although it we may just change the value so it is the original value but if it is structure... it will be complicated...

Hence, it only helps us 50% of our effort and another 50% will be an effort to put back original value to the previous step... And I wouldn't recommend ABAP developers to make it a habit to use this... it's better to put a break-point in anywhere you think you want to trace...

I do wish, ABAP editor really have a "TRUE" debug backward feature... And I can imagine if SAP developers were to make "the memory revert back to one step before" can be a huge task.

I believe there's a reason behind why values are not reverted when "GOTO STATEMENT" is navigate backward.

Cheers!!!

Hi Faiz,

You can go to a step already executed by placing the cursor on the line you want to navigate to and the click on 'Menu-> Goto Statement'(or you can place the cursor on the line and press Shift+F12).

But as told by william, the values won't be reverted back(if they are changed by that step).
