Serial Wire Debug AP access

Please somebody help me with this issue.
I am trying to program the flash memory using Serial wire Debug in a STM32L152 advanced ARM-based 32-bit MCU.
I will be almost done if this issue gets cleared. I am able to do read and write accesses on each of the DP registers if they actually allow to do so.And when I try to read one of the AP registers, it gives me an 'OK' response. But when I read the value, it gives all zeroes. After that I tried to read the Read Buffer register. Still the same answer. Also when I try to write one of the AP registers, it gives an 'OK' response. Then I sent some 32 bits with a parity bit to be written. But after that the 'STICKYERR' bit got set in the CTRL/STATUS register with the data not being written I hope,which means some bus error has occurred. What may be the problem? At least I should be able to do read and write accesses in the CSW-AP register. Am I right? I thing I may not be aware of some important issue. I would be very much grateful to you if you could spend a little time in clarifying my doubt.

What is the importance of the Clock signal in AP access? Will it be a reason for the above issue?

Hello! nobody there?
Okay! May be that question doesn't explain the problem understandably.
For example, the sequence was like this for the first case
Write AP SELECT register-(10001101,100,000011110000000000000000000000000)
Read IDR(AP) - 'OK' response,but no reading-(11111001,100,0000000000000000000000000000000000)
Read CTRL/STAT-(10110001,100,100000100000000000000000000000000)

(The last bits are parity bits in all cases)

And for the second case
Write AP SELECT Register-(10001101,100,000000000000000000000000000000000)
Write CSW(AP) -'OK' response-(11011101,100,1000101000000000000000000000000001)
Read CTRL/STAT -STKERR flag set-(10110001,100,100001100000000000000000000000000)
And I have driven the clock signal continuously without driving the clock low when accessing AP registers after writing the AP SELECT register.

Did you make sure to set the CSYSPWRUPREQ and CDBGPWRUPREQ bits in the DP first? I haven't checked the STM32L152 data sheet, but you need to make sure that the AP has a clock before performing an access, and I think that the DP will not even try the access if the power up bits are not set. It is correct that the first AP access is accepted with an OK, that indicates that the command was accepted, then the next access should return a FAULT to indicate that the command caused a problem.

Sir,
I am working on Cortex m4 architecture over serial wire debug protocol my controller is stm32f407vg as host and stm32f407vg as target, I am able to read IDCODE(0x2ba01477 from target) which is correct as per the arm technical reference manual,and I am successfully writing 0x50000000 to CTRLSTAT register to enable CSYSPWRUPREQ and CDBGPWRUPREQ ,but the thing is while i am reading CTRLSTAT i got 0xfffffff I don't know what might be the Problem,Please suggest me what might be the Possible reason??
Thanks & Regards.
