Listing 5.9 End Script
Now, perform a syntax check on your script to make sure everything is okay, and
then you can save your script to the database via the Save As button (the screen
shown in Figure 5.10 appears). That way, if you need to execute the program
being debugged 500 times in a row, each time you simply press the Load Script
button to get to your debugger script, ratherthan having to write the script again.
(You will notice that you can also save debugger scripts to local files, and then
upload them to a different SAP system.)
Figure 5.10 Saving a Debugger Script
Last but not least, run your script by pressing the Start Script button. You cannot
see that anything is happening until the point is reached in your script in which
a breakpoint is forced and control is returned to the normal debugger. When that
happens, you’ll see a choice of two buttons to click (Figure 5.11).
