2. Click the Debug tab.
The components of the selected application are displayed in the Source Components portlet on the left side of the window.
3. Select the component in whose script you want to set a breakpoint.
The script for the component is displayed in the Source Breakpoints portlet on the right side of the window.
4. Click the line number where you want to set the breakpoint.
You can also set source breakpoints using the View Processed Script option in the Frame Editor or the 4GL Procedure Editor.
For more information about types of break condition, see the appropriate section.
