As a first guess, code that we are not seeing (the … lines) is probably important. For example, can #F3 be FALSE without executing the GET at UPR.?

Is all of this code in a READ or FIND loop? Is #F3 always set (RESET) prior to the IF test? I do not see a MOVE TRUE TO #F3 after the UPDATE. Thus, if this is in a READ loop, you will probably try and UPDATE the record after one which was correctly UPDATE’d.

More of the surrounding code is necessary to understand your problem.

When compiling a program, the message received is “module XXX successfully compiled with NODBG=ON option”.

When trying to debug, it is not allowing to set an breakpoints.

use the NOCOPT command, like this to switch the NODBG off, i.e. switching debugging on !
