Any statement being executed when you choose this command is displayed in the Code window with Gg264592.wbrkpnt_ZA01201808(en-us,office.14).gif in the left margin if you checked Margin Indicator Bar in the Editor Format tab of the Options dialog box.

Some editing changes made in break mode may require you to restart your program for the changes to take effect.
