Hi,

While using debugger, how can I go back to a previois statement/break point and debug the program?

Thanks,  
Mishra

I am not sure what you mean. Programs run “forward”, not “backward”. When a Breakpoint/watchpoint occurs, Natural does not take a snapshot like it does when you do a CALLNAT. Hence, there is no going “back” to a previous point in your code.
