FIX: Cannot Set Breakpoint at EXECUTE Statement

Last reviewed: September 19, 1997
Article ID: Q156137

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual C++, Enterprise Edition, version 4.2

SYMPTOMS

You cannot set the breakpoint at the EXECUTE statement in a stored procedure.

WORKAROUND

Use EXEC instead of EXECUTE as a workaround to this bug.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This bug was fixed in Visual C++ version 5.0.

MORE INFORMATION

The EXEC and EXECUTE statements mean the same in SQL Server 6.5. You can set the breakpoint at an EXEC statement. But the EXECUTE statement does not accept breakpoints. However, breakpoints are accepted on both the EXEC and EXECUTE statements while stepping from the previous statement.

While debugging if you try to set a break point on an EXECUTE line, the breakpoint gets set on the next line.
