Cannot stop debugger...

[EJB]

Hi
I'm having all sorts of problems trying to stop the debugger once it's been started. If I press the "Break" button, the debugger doesn't stop, it just seems to jump to the next block. If I keep pressing it, sometimes it then locks up completely.

This is proving a major headache as sometimes I'm debugging a program that is quite long running (if left to run) and once a bug/problem has been found, I don't want to have to wait for the whole process to finish...I need to stop it there and then so I can fix the issue.

Does anyone have any info/advice on how I can effectively stop the debugger?

I'm on PSD v 9.0.6.1665 connecting to Oracle 11G R2 on Windows 7 64 bit.

Thanks!

Can you install the trial version of 10.0.5 and verify if that helps? Install it in a separate directory to keep both 9.0.6 and 10.0.5 available.

This can be caused by the code you are debugging. As far, as I know, when you try to stop code execution (including debugging), the "user break exception" is raised. If the code catches that exception and handles it (does not re-throw/re-raise), then the code will not stop running. The famous "solution" to some problems called "when others then" is sometimes the cause of that.
