Summary 5.4
script, you can tell the debugger to automatically change the value of SY-SUBRC
to zero just after every AUTHORITY-CHECK.
왘 Creating a watchpoint for a field symbol
This is another one from Brian O’Neill. In the standard debugger, you cannot
have such a watchpoint that stops the debugger when the value of a field symbol
changes. With debugger scripting, he found a way to make this possible.
The important point to note here is thatnot only can debugger scripting automate
manual steps in the debugger, but also it can make the debugger do things it was
not previously capable of.
That concludes the discussion of debugging. But don’t be sad! In the next chapter,
you’ll make a stop in the land of the strange life forms called new BAdIs, creatures
that are half man, half beast.
