The Breakpoints dialog box lets you add, edit, remove, enable, and disable breakpoints or watchpoints. This dialog box displays all breakpoints set in the current debugging session.
A breakpoint interrupts program execution. There are three types of breakpoints:
At Line — A breakpoint set at a specific line in a named procedure
On Error — A breakpoint set to interrupt execution if an error occurs
Watchpoint — A breakpoint set to interrupt program execution when the value of a variable, buffer field, or attribute reference changes
Note: A watchpoint stops program execution when an the value of a variable, buffer field, or attribute reference changes. A watch tracks values of variables, buffer fields, attributes, data and built-in ABL functions.
The following figure shows the Breakpoints dialog box.
