How to debug smartforms

Question

hi
could anybody suggest me how to debug smatforms
thank you
kalyan.

Answer 1

Please set a break point in side the smartform:
BREAK <USERNAME>.
Then at the time of print/ preview the program stops there.
Example : If you set the break point in initializationas
BREAK <USERNAME>.
Program stops at break point. After that use Serach and set more break points.
>Search the program logic/Textelement/Address via search and set the break point at that code.
1) One way to debug smartform is to debug the Function Module of that smartforms.
If you want to debug particular smartform node that the solution would be,
insert a "Program Line" just above the node you want to debug and this program line write a normal abap breakpoint.
So whenever you call the smartforms, it will stop at this breakpoint and you can debug onwards.
2) SFTRACE can be used for debugging SMARTFORMS.
1)goto tcode SFTRACE --> click "trace on"
2) Get the function module name and set break points in function module name.
There is a transaction 'SMARTFORMS_TRACE' (or was it 'SMARTFORMS_TRACE') which will give you quite helpful information.
In SAPSCRIPTS, you can 'Activate the debugger' in SE71 to start the debugging of script.
In SMARTFORMS, you can use BREAK-POINT (coded in any code window node) to initiate debugging of SF.
SFTRACE can be used for debugging SMARTFORMS.
Go in smartforms, put a breakpoint where you want in the generated FM.
Then go in you're PO, go to messages, generated you're output and make sure in further data option 1 is selected.
Then run program rsnast00 with you're form settings, that's it!
You could debug sapscript like that also,
