Control Break Statements in SAP ABAP

Control break statements in ABAP allow code to be executed when certain conditions are met within a loop. There are 5 control break statements: AT FIRST, AT LAST, AT END OF, AT NEW, and ON CHANGE OF. AT FIRST executes at the start of the loop, AT LAST at the end. AT END OF and AT NEW execute when the value of a sorted field changes, AT END OF at the last occurrence and AT NEW at the first occurrence of a new value. ON CHANGE OF executes whenever the specified field changes within or outside of a loop.

Control Break Statements in SAP ABAP

Control break statements are like events inside the loop. There are 5 control break statements in
ABAP. These are used within loop.(Except ON CHANGE OF which can be used outside the loop
as well)

 AT FIRST - ENDAT
 AT NEW - ENDAT
 AT END OF - ENDAT
 AT LAST - ENDAT
 ON CHANGE OF

Explanation:

AT FIRST : Will trigger at the first run of the loop.

AT LAST: Will trigger at the last run of the loop.

The below 3 events are normally used when the table is sorted.

AT END OF : When we use At end for a field, it will trigger whenever there is any change in any
of the fields from the left to that of the particular field. The trigger point will be the at the
last occurrence  of the same value for the field.

AT NEW: When we use At new for a field, it will trigger whenever there is any change in any of
the fields from the left to that of the particular field.The trigger point will be the at the
first occurrence of the new value for the field.

ON CHANGE OF: On change of it triggers only when there is any change in the particular field. 
On change of can be used outside the loop too

Here is an example program which gives you the practical understanding of all control break
statements.
