Hi,

Have a look at this:

/people/puru.govind/blog/2006/11/17/trick-debugging-insert-statement-screen

Is this the only way to achieve this?

Regards,

Pooja

Hello Pooja

I agree with Clemens that I do not really understand the meaning of "pattern" in the blog. However, the crucial point (at least for me) is that we can have system command <i>/h</i> as drag&drop icon on the desktop.

Clemens is right in that we can achieve the same by entering /h directly into the command field. Now with the desktop icon we can do the same even if we do <b>NOT</b> have a command field, e.g. on a popup.

Regards

Uwe

Hi Pooja,

sorry, I don't understand what "trick" is introduced by this blog.

Yes, it is true and I did not know: You can drag the desktop icon for system commsn /H to an active screen. This will switch on the debug mode.

You can achieve the same by entering /h in the command field.

I can't think of a situation where I need the "trick".

Especially I don't understand how this is connected to "pattern".

Regards,

Clemens

Addition:

I read again. He lets us know how to enter debugger to see what the PATTERN button in the editor does.

So do you need a popup screen like the one that's coming up in SE80/SE38/SE37 when you push PATTERN button?

This is quite deep integrated in editor functions and can not be used stand-alone. Possibly with edit control if you want to construct an editor.

Clemens

Hi Uwe,

Finally it is good for something!

Thank you for that hint. I always thought it is not possible to enter debug mode from a popup - now I can!

I think meanwhile I understand the meaning of "pattern" in the blog: It is just this pushbutton you can use to insert staments for CALL FUNCTION, MESSAGE and so on. The author want's to tell us how we can analyze the code of this functionality without stepping through the debugger until the pattern popup screen comes up. OK. Although I'm convinced this is not the only way to find out how the pattern functionality works.

Anyway, I think the 'drag-debug-icon' may be quite helpful.

Regards,

Clemens
