End Infinite Loop?

Former Member — Tue, 07 Nov 2006 21:56:10 GMT

Hi all,

There is a custom program that another end user is running. For a small batch of records, the program runs as expected. However, when querying for all records the program does not end. My theory is there is a condition which is causing an infinite loop. Is there a way to stop the program and debug it while it's in this loop? There are thousands of records so I don't want to start from the beginning to debug it.

Helpful responses will be awarded points.

Thanks in advance!

From SM50, place your cursor on the process in question and go to Program/Mode->Program->Debugging.

Goto SM50..select the process..

Then in the menu..

Program/session -> program -> debugging..

Do as the others have suggested. I'm betting that you won't find an infinite loop; instead you'll find nested loops over two or more large tables.

John,

When you are suspicious about infinite loop for this program. Go to <b>SM50</b> and Choose <b>Program/Session - Debugging</b>. It will jump to program.
