Hi,

change source code in a way like this:

DATA:

stop_for_capture.

DO.

IF sy-uname NE 'HABICH'. "change to your account

EXIT.

ENDIF.

IF NOT stop_for_capture IS INITIAL.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

ENDDO.

So you have enough time to capture.

proceed by changing value stop_for_capture.

Hi,

that sounds strange. What is your environment.

Is debugging possible in general?

Do you have &SAP_ALL ?

Is BDC involved?

Perhaps You may use ST01 System Trace.

An ugly option is coding some file output in the test program.

Start Debugging before capturing and set a break-point for ABAP message command.

I hope my comments are useful.

As I was searching for an answer for the same thing, I also found here on the forums that you can add an extra step in your job with program BTCLOOP. This program already exists, then it comes also in an infinite loop and you can go into debugging from SM50.

Hope this helps.

if the job is in acive sae then only u can debug it though sm50
