Smartforms: Breakpoints

Debugging is necessary when we have program lines node in our Smartforms and the
code in the program lines node is not working as per our expectation. Currently, we don't
have the Breakpoint button as what we have in the ABAP code Editor in the Workbench.
So, what are the options to put a break point in Smartforms:
1. Hardcode the BREAK-POINT: We just have to put the BREAK-POINT statement
whereever we want to stop the code and look inside in Debugger. This is good option
when we are developing the Smartforms. But we all, as per the Human nature, forgot to
remove those BREAK-POINTs from the program lines and Users would have to face the
debugger at each and every break-point and would start shouting..!! This is what we all
don't want. So, this option is not good.
2. Breakpoint using BREAK user-name: We can put the break point using the statment
user name addition to the break command, for example BREAK NAIMESH. These break
points would not stop any other users who would run this Smartform. Still it has some
disadvantages: Everytime the developer who has put the break point will stop i n the
Debugger. It is fine, if we have only one or two, but we have many than it would be a
problem. So, this makes the option less powerful.
3. Breakpoint on the fly: To put a break point on the fly, we can follow these simple steps
to put a breakpoint as required.
Step1: Open your Smartform and Copy the text as which you want to put a break point
and press the Test Button. It will bring you the Function Builder.

Step 2: Press the dispaly button to open the code of the function.

Step 3: Press the Find (control+F) button.

Step 4: In the find screen, paste the copied text (control+V) in the Text.
Select the option "In main Program"
Press Enter

Step 5: From the hit list, go to the source code by doing doubleclick on the search results.
Now, put a Cursor on the line and press the "Set Breakpoint" button.

That's it. So, when you run the application it will stop to this break point.

It seems to be the lengthy steps, but they are effective.
