Summary
25

Online debugging is a valuable tool for diagnosing problems with program


code.
The system fields SY-SUBRC, SY-TABIX and SY-DBCNT are always displayed
in screen.
The debugging tool allows the user to change the content
A breakpoint is a signal within a programs code that tells the ABAP
processor to interrupt the program where the breakpoint is set.
Static breakpoints are generally user-independent.
The system allows a maximum of 30 breakpoints.
Watchpoints are set from the debugging tool.
Watchpoints are used to interrupt a program when there is a change in the
contents of a particular field or field string.
Up to 5 watchpoints can be set at a time.
During debugging, the system normally suppresses the COMMIT which
marks the end of a Logical Unit of Work (LUW).
