You use breakpoints to stop the execution of an XSL transformation immediately before a specific statement is called.
Creating Line Breakpoints
In the Transformation Editor, you can set a line breakpoint both in change mode and in display mode:
The Transformation Editor starts.
To set a line breakpoint in the XSLT debugger, proceed as follows:
If the selected line contains a non-executable statement, the breakpoint is automatically set on the next executable line. The new line breakpoint is included in the breakpoint list. If you double-click on a line that already contains a breakpoint, the system deletes the breakpoint.
Creating Template Breakpoints
You can stop the execution of the XML transformation at a particular template in an XSLT program.
If your entries are correct, the new breakpoint is added to the breakpoint list. Unlike line breakpoints, template breakpoints are not highlighted.
Creating Program Breakpoints
Program breakpoints allow you to start the debugger directly when you start the XSLT program.
