Hi Venkat,

There are Break-points and Watch points and no Switch points.

Break points:

When you set a break point in your program, which executing when the control encounters the break point it stops at that place without executing the command on which you have set the break point.

Watch points:

They are like dynamic break points. For ex in a loop these watch points are very helpful. If there are many records like 500 and you want to check the 356 record then you can dynamically set it to that particular one.

Reward if helpful.

Hi Venkat,

In Break point you can set the value of the variable in the runtime.

Watch point is like dynamic bebugger.Ex. There is a loop in which counter is increasing.In watch point set the counter to 50.Execute it.It will stop when the counter will be 50.
