Debugging

▪ Debugging is a technique by which we can find the error, correct the error and detect

the error.

▪ SAP debugger is a part of ABAP workbench only.

2
Ways of Debugging

▪ There are 2 ways of debugging.

1. Set the breakpoint on any executable statement and program stops automatically at

that point.

2. We can debug the code with the help of transaction code /h.

3
Execution Keys

▪ There are 4 execution keys in debugging mode.

1. F5 - Step by step execution

2. F6- Line by line execution

3. F7 - Return

4. F8 - Continuous execution or exit

4
System Variables in Debugging Mode

▪ There are 2 default system variables available in the debugging mode.

1. SY-SUBRC - System variable for return code(successful = 0, not successful = other than

0).

2. SY-TABIX - It returns the current line index inside a loop.

Static Breakpoints

▪ Static breakpoints are also called as user independent breakpoints.

▪ The syntax to set a static breakpoint is BREAK-POINT.

6
Dynamic Breakpoints

▪ Dynamic breakpoints are also called as user dependent breakpoints.

▪ The syntax to set a dynamic breakpoint is BREAK username.

Various Operations on Internal Table in Debugging Mode

▪ The various operations on internal table in the debugging mode are as follows:

 Deleting a row from an internal table.

 Editing a row of an internal table.

 Adding a row to an internal table.

 Saving internal table to a local file.

 Delete complete table.

Jump to a Particular Statement in Debugging Mode

▪ We can jump to a particular statement in debugging mode by using the path :

Debugger-Go to statement.

▪ We can also jump to a particular statement by using the shortcut ‘Shift + F12’.

9
Setting Breakpoints at Keywords in Debugging Mode

▪ We can set the breakpoints at keywords in debugging mode like - SELECT, CALL

FUNCTION, MESSAGE etc.

▪ We can also set breakpoints on specific function modules or subroutines or messages

etc.

Deleting and Deactivating the Breakpoints

▪ Deleting breakpoints - Permanently deleting the breakpoints in that particular session.

▪ Deactivating breakpoints - Temporary deleting the breakpoints in that particular session.

When we run the program again, the breakpoint resumes.

Watchpoints

▪ Watchpoints are used to monitor the values of variables, workareas and internal tables.

2
Breakpoints and Watchpoints Comparison

▪ Breakpoints are for executable statements whereas watchpoints are used to monitor

the values of variables, work areas and internal tables.

▪ A user can set a maximum of 30 breakpoints whereas a user can set a maximum of 10

watchpoints.
