Answer:
Hi,
You can put a "break-point" and the system will start in the debug mode and stop at the break-point.

However it is not as conducive to debugging as .. say a regular ABAP program.

Answer:
Here are several tips you can use (although not exactly scientific but they work and might be quicker than setting a break point):

- Take off the period at the end of a FOX statement and run the
Function. It will give you an error message (e.g. end of statement . missing). You can do this in various places to determine where the error is

- Take the comma out of a FOREACH statement. This will trigger an error in the same way as the bullet above

- Also you can print out the fox code using a reverse look up (let me know if you don't know how to do this and I'll respond)

- You can also use messages to display the value of a variable. SEM has a message class that you can use

How do you set up break points in FOX?

Answer:
Hi,
Just type in statement - break-point. Also you can use message command as suggested by a previous response to see the value of a variable.
