             TABLES
                              it_xvbkd = xvbkd.

Inside this function module i have some code to debug . How can i debug it ?

hiii

Set a breakpoint just before the FM. When in debug mode select the

'update debugging' flag in the settings section then continue with

your debugging.

while debugging use F5 key to debug line by line ..... it will take you to source of that function module

Hi,

put the break point on the function module,

when the cursur come to function module press f5, the cursur will go inside the function module then u can debug the function module.

thanks

Hi,

It is not possible to debug in update task. If it is a zprogram, I suggest you call the function module without the update task, debug and see what is the problem, once it is resolved you call it again using update task.

Thanks

hi ujjwal_dk,

you can debug it in update task..

first you should set update debugging active. you can do that from debugger screen with debug settings. than you say commit system closes normal debugging and will open for update debugging.

best regards.

Hi, it is actually possible to debug FM called under IN UPDATE TASK. You have to put a debugger (if session breakpoint is not working then try external breakpoint) in the code inside the FM and enable update debugging in debugger settings, it will hit the piece of code.

My home-grown method:

Set your breakpoint in the FM.

In your transaction, just before you press save, enter hobble mode in your command box with '/h'.

press save.

In your first debug screen, toggle settings>system debugging ON (NetWeaver Drop-down menu) or see previous notes for earlier WebAS versions.

Select continue (F8).

The program should then stop at your break-point in the FM.

Thanks all for your reply .....

I removed the update task as suggested....

also changing settings for update task is also valuable....

Hi,

when a function module is called in update task it cannot be debugged normally because it wont run in same user session so in debugging mode goto menu

System-> update debugging. Switch it on to debug the FM.
