Creating Data Breakpoints

When you create a data breakpoint, the Debugger pauses when the data breakpoint evaluates to true. You can set the number of rows to skip or a data condition or both. You have the following options when you set data breakpoints:

If you want the Debugger to pause at every row, set the number of rows to zero and do not set a data condition.

If you want the Debugger to pause after a specified number of rows passes through the transformation, set the number of rows greater than zero. For example, if you set the number of rows to three, the Debugger skips three rows of data and pauses every fourth row.

If you want the Debugger to pause each time the data meets a data condition, enter the data condition and set the number of rows set to zero.

If you want the Debugger to pause at designated intervals when a row meets the data condition, you can enter the data condition and set the number of rows greater than zero. For example, if you set the number of rows to three, the Debugger skips three breakpoint rows that meet the condition and pauses at every fourth row.

The following table summarizes the options when you set data breakpoint types and conditions:

Number of Rows	Data Condition	Debugger Behavior
0	No	Pauses at every row.
>0	No	Pauses after every n times the number of rows passes through the transformation.
0	Yes	Pauses each time the row meets the data condition.
>0	Yes	Pauses after every n times the row meets the data condition.
