Breakpoints

A breakpoint is a marker on a line of Siebel code that tells the interpreter to suspend execution at that line so that the state of the program can be examined using the Debugger. There are two ways to set breakpoints on lines of Siebel code when editing, and there is an additional way to set a breakpoint when debugging:

• When editing, place the cursor on the line of code on which you wish to set a breakpoint by clicking on that line with the mouse or using the arrow keys. To toggle the breakpoint, press F9 or click the toolbar button. If the line already has a breakpoint in it, pressing F9 or the toolbar button clears the breakpoint.
• When debugging, clicking on a line of Siebel code toggles a breakpoint on that line.
