Hi Antonio,

Yes u can debug without '/h'...

1. Take a fresh SAP screen.

2. Click the icon “Generates a shortcut on the desktop” (3rd last icon on tool bar)

3.In the “Application”, change the following:

Type: System Command

Command: /h

Title: Any preferred title name. (e.g.: My Debugger)

4. This displays the following message:

“The shortcut file ‘C:\Documents and Settings\ur name\Desktop\PDC My Debugger. Sap’ was created

5. Now on the desktop we can find a new icon:

6. Step 3: Click and drag this icon and put it in the sap screen from where u want the debug to start.

7. now, if we select an item it will go to the debugging screen

This i useful in a case where where '/h' is not immeterial!!!.

I hope this is what u wanted.

Best Regards,

Anjali

I don't think it is possible to debug the debugger. At least I am not aware if any compiled or interpreted language support debugging of debugger. Do you know any language that does something similar ?
