Setting a breakpoint

To set a breakpoint in the execution of your report:

  1. If the PL/SQL Interpreter is not already displayed, choose Toolsright arrowPL/SQL Interpreter.

  2. In the Object Navigator, single-click a compiled program unit node to display the program unit in the PL/SQL Interpreter Source pane.  

    Note
    : Uncompiled program units are indicated by an asterisk (*) after their name.

  3. Double-click an executable statement (a PL/SQL construct used for conditional, iterating, and sequential control, and for error handling.  A semi-colon (;) must terminate every PL/SQL statement) where you wish to create the break point.

    Tip: You cannot place a breakpoint on a BEGIN, END, or NULL statement, or on a comment.

    The breakpoint is inserted and is indicated by B00n, where n is the number of the breakpoint. When you run the program unit, execution is suspended at the line just prior to the breakpoint.
