ABAP Debugger
ABAP Debugger Tool is used to execute ABAP programs line by line or section by section. It is possible to edit the
contents of data objects and to check the program logic.

There are two ways to enter debugging


 /h on command bar
 Static Breakpoints

Break point or stopping point in the program will initiate ABAP debugger when executing the program.
There are two types of break points can be set in the program
 Static Break Points
 Source Code based: Can be written statements in the logic.
 BREAK-POINT: Triggers for all users
 Break <user ID>: Triggers for specific User
 Editor based: Can be set by opening editor
 Session Break point: Used for Dialog users
 External Break point: Used for debugging from Outside
 Dynamic Break Points: Can be set during debugging
