Hi Kapil,

Though this is a very strange scenario.

Can you try to insert an infinite loop inside the program. Then schedule it, and

when the process stops .. Debug it.

Rich,

It is a pretty simple piece of code, kinda standard format that we use to build reports ie with data declaration, tables, variables. selection screen definition, and then start of selection event which has the required performs, the complete code executes and i am sure about it because i have tried writing WRITE statements inside start of selection event and verious performs too and all the write statements were executed as desired.

thanks

Make sure your program is active.

Narayanan,

The program is very much active, and i guess it really should not make a difference.

thanks

Hi Kapil,

Try to debug some other program, if you are not able to do that then Please check if you have debugger authorization.

It doesn't appear that the system will allow you to set it back to "Blank", but there is nothing wrong with setting as "Customer Production Program". If you want it to be blank, you will need to copy out the source, delete the program and re-create it.

If your program is SYSTEM PROGRAM you need to active the flag for system debugging to run that program in debug mode.

So before running your program, run something in debug mode and go to Setting->System debugging
