When the background jobs cause an dump error or were canceled, we need to check the real value used in background jobs.

Surely, we can easily find out the values by using the variant in background job. But user often create background jobs without using a variant value.

Let’s assume user perform the program entering the 2 values like below screen.

The job is canceled due to some unknown reason. We should find out the error cause performing the program with the same value user entered in the screen.  Push the  in the application toolbar placing the cursor on the error line.

What parameters value begins with ‘&’ operator means that user execute program directly in background jobs without specific variant.

Place the cursor on the corresponding line and select menu : goto -> Variant or goto -> Maintain Variants.

Now you can see the values you input at first.
