ABAP TIP – DEBUGGER : Breakpoint At function

Source : http://abapjoy.blogspot.com

There are helpful function in ABAP debugger like below.

l  Breakpoint at Statement

l  Breakpoint at Subroutine

l  Breakpoint at Function Module

l  Breakpoint for Method

l  Breakpoint at Exception

l  Breakpoint at Source Code

When ABAP debugger is opened, you can select the menu : Breakpoints -> Breakpoint at

For example, you can set breakpoint at statement of ‘MESSAGE’ and all source line having a ‘MEESAGE’ command is set with breakpoint.

In my experiences, It’s the fastest and easiest way to find out the position where the program raise message.

Standard program(T-CODE:FB03) makes a error message like below and you need to find why the error message occurred.

Input the ‘/h’ in the command field and execute program by enter or other way.

Set the breakpoint at statement and input ‘MESSAGE’.

Execute with F8 and the program will be stopped when error occur.

Then, you can know the program name and line in source code.
