Debugging FOX in 7.4

[Former Member]

Hi everybody,

does anybody know how to debug fox formulas in BW 7.4 using the new debugging script RSPLFC_DEBUGGING_SCRIPT_FOX?

How can this script be started? I couldn't find anything on the web.

Best regards

Hi,

See Note 1952231 - Debugging Script for Planning Functions Formula
(FOX)

It is started through transaction se38.

Dear Michael,

I've already seen this note and we have it in our system.This note does not provide how to use the debugging script.

I can't start RSPLFC_DEBUGGING_SCRIPT_FOX in SE38, because it is not an executable program.

There must be some other way how to start debugging a fox formula. Also in Transaction SAS (Debugger Scripting and Tracing, there is no way to start the script.

May be it can only be called from the debugger. But where to set the breakpoint to get into the debugger and then start the script?

Best regards

Hi Michael,

maybe following notes

2011187

2033503

apply.

correction instruction to Note 2011187 gives the hint to create a report RSPLFC_TEST_FOX_DEBUGGING.

Maybe this works for you.

Regards,

Jürgen

Using Debugging Script in general
with the new ABAP debugger

When the debugger is started go to the tab
‘Script’.

By pressing the large ‘Load Script’ button,
a sub-screen comes up. Here  you choose option
database and the Script Name you want to use.

Enter and the scipt name will be visible under
Name in the section Script in the field Name.

Then press the ‘Start Script’ button and
script is started.
