To work with breakpoint properties, complete the following actions:

1. Select the breakpoint:
   - In the source window click the line of code that contains the breakpoint
   - In the breakpoint panel click the breakpoint
2. Select Breakpoint Properties

Breakpoint group

> From the list, select the breakpoint group that you want to contain this breakpoint. By default, all breakpoints belong to the Default breakpoint group.

Breakpoint style

> From the list, select the breakpoint style that you want to apply to this breakpoint. By default, all breakpoints have the Default breakpoint style.
> - Default: Marks a point that suspends operation during a debugging session.
> - Service entry point: Marks a point that suspends operation and starts a debugging session when a job associated with a specific user calls that line of code. The job that calls the line of code must be a program, service program, or optimized Java program.

Condition

> Set optional conditional breakpoint parameters by typing the parameters. You can use any valid expression as the breakpoint condition.

Thread

> From the list, select a thread-specific breakpoint that determines when the debugger will suspend operation.
> - Apply to all threads: Suspend operation when the program you are debugging encounters this breakpoint in any thread.
> - Apply to current thread: The debugger suspends operation when the program you are debugging encounters this breakpoint in the current thread.
> This option displays only when the breakpoint style is Default.

User

> Type the name of the user associated with the service entry point breakpoint. This option displays only when the breakpoint style is Service entry point.
