Issue/Introduction

When attempting to use MODIFY_TASK to remove a manual breakpoint, it is unsuccessful.

To reproduce
1.) Create a JOBP
2.) Add two tasks - one that does a sleep 60 (lnr 2), and a script (lnr3) (this is what we will breakpoint)
3.) Execute the workflow
4.) Open the workflow monitor, set a breakpoint on the script
5.) Execute a separate script modifying the workflow (example will be attached as well):

:set  &run# = 1271083
:set  &lnr# = 3
:SET  &RET# = MODIFY_TASK( &run#, STOP_MODIFY)
:  pSET  &RET# = MODIFY_TASK( &run#, ,  &lnr#, BREAKPOINT, "NO")
: if  &ret# > 0
:  pset  &ins# = SYS_LAST_ERR_INS()
:  pset  &msg# = GET_MSG_TXT( &ret#, &ins#)
:  p  &msg#
:  endif


: SET  &RET# = MODIFY_TASK( &run#, COMMIT)
: SET  &RET# = MODIFY_TASK( &run#, GO)

Seen:
Breakpoint stays.

Expected:
Breakpoint is released.
Note: If the breakpoint is set via the workflow set breakpoint checkbox OR via scripting it is successful.

Cause

Improper handling of status internally.

Environment

Release : 12.3

Component : AUTOMATION ENGINE

Resolution

This has been identified as behavior not as designed and will be resolved in a future release.
