Can U set breakpoint within a batch job and look at variables?

[Former Member]

Hello friends,

I am trying to solve a problem that occurs within a program / transaction which can only be executed in background. The transaction in question is FPCOPARA and apparently this program cannot be executed in foreground.

If I understand well, we cannot set breakpoints within a background job and as a result we cannot inspect variable etc. during job execution. So the question is how to achieve the same goal within a batch job? How did you do it? As this is a standard SAP transacrtion, no program modification can be applied.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

You can debug an already running background job via SM50, "program/session->program->debugging".

Maybe this helps.

First u run the job. later goto SM37 and select the job and give command JDBG in command box it takes to to debug mode and shows how it runs in Background.

I can not see a reason why a report cant be run in foreground. Maybe you need to temper with sy-batch so that the report is believing he is running in batch.

Hi......

After u have executed ur batch job..

go to sm37 >>select ur job using checkbox>>enter 'JDBG' in transaction box and press enter

now debugger will start ..initial it will go through system code..after after a while the debugger will reach to your code and den you can debug the remaining report....

all the best
