ABAP Debugger
ABAP Debugger
• The Debugger is a programming tool that you can use to execute ABAP programs, by
line or by section. With this tool, you can display data objects and check the flow logic of
ABAP programs.

• Two (2) types of ABAP Debugger:

• Classic ABAP Debugger – earlier release up to 6.40
• New ABAP Debugger – after 6.40 release

• How to change/switch ABAP Debugger (Classic <-> New):

• From ABAP Editor menu, go to Utilities > Settings
• ABAP Editor > Debugging Tab > ABAP Debugger

• What’s the difference between Classic and New ABAP Debugger?

• Classic ABAP Debugger – earlier release up to 6.40

• Ways to start ABAP Debugger:

• From the ABAP Editor (SE38) - Start programs in DEBUG mode

• Inside ABAP program - Set break points in line of source code

Slide 7

• Ways to start ABAP Debugger:

• In Command Field - Put /H or /h

• Inside debugger - Set a break point in source code line during

debug mode

• How to debug an ABAP program?

• Single Step (F5)
• Debugger will stop at every line of source code
• Execute (F6)
• Debugger will stop at main line of source code
• Return (F7)
• Inside a subroutine, Debugger will go return to main line of source
code
• Continue (F8)
• Debugger will stop at a break point. If none, debugger will proceed to
output

• Create Watch-Point (Shift + F4)

• You can create watch points (set a condition) and will break-point at a
certain value. This is great for debugging internal tables (huge data).

• How to determine variables, structures and internal tables?

• Declaration – DATA
• Example:
• DATA gc_bukrs TYPE bukrs. “ variable
• DATA gs_vbrk TYPE vbrk. “ structure
• DATA gt_bkpf TYPE tt_bkpf. “ internal table
• DATA lt_bseg TYPE tt_bseg. “ internal table
• Field-Symbols – FIELD-SYMBOL
• Example: <var1> TYPE any. “ field symbol
• Double click variable in the ABAP program to know its value

• SELECT
• Examples:
SELECT fields
INTO TABLE [internal table]
FROM [table]
WHERE [conditions]

• LOOP
• Examples:
LOOP AT [internal table] INTO [structure].
“ abap statements
ENDLOOP.

LOOP AT [internal table] ASSIGNING FIELD-SYMBOL(<fs>).

“abap statements
ENDLOOP.
