ABAP Debugger

Former Member — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 11:43:23 GMT

Hi Experts,

I am not sure whether is there any way in ABAP debugger we can set condition in a breakpoint/watchpoint.

For example, I have place a breakpoint in a table loop, it_bseg. There is 100,000 records in it_bseg. I need to see the processing of certain record (eg. 1500023411) without looking at others. What can I do? It is quite impossible for me to click on F8 for 23410 times, am I right?

I did try watchpoint, but I still cannot figure out how to use it. Can anyone shed some light for me?

Thanks so much

Cheers,

Isaac.

Hello Issac,

I hope you have gone through the link in the previous post. I will like to add to that.

If you are trying to reach the watchpoint inside the recurssion (viz. LOOP... ENDLOOP, DO ... ENDDO etc) plz get into the recurssive block once by pressing F5 & after that press F8. It will reach the desired watchpoint.


LOOP AT IT_BSEG INTO WA_BSEG.
 .....  "--> Get to this point using an F5, after this create a watchpoint with WA_BSEG = <your doc. number> & then press F8
ENDLOOP.

Hope this helps.

BR,

Suhas

if the table it_bseg is a table with header line then set a watch point as : Fieldname : it_bseg-BELNR, Relational operator : = , value: 1500023411 and then click OK button.After that run the code by pressing F8.

Otherwise give the workarea name in Fieldname Fieldname : <workarea>-BELNR.

plz try this

Press /h before taking any action in the program

By setting up a breakpoint and executing the program

From the ABAP editor initial screen by pressing the debug button

From the Object Navigator (SE80) Select a program and choose Test/Execute from the Development Object menu. The Choose Execution Type dialog box appears. Choose Debugging.

hello isaac,

i'd like to add to max's answer that you should watch out for leading "0".

i had the problem, that i copied a number out of a table and pasted it into the watchpoint value...

the watchpoint didn't work, because of the missing zeros that were cut off the displayd values i copied.

good luck

HI,

In watchpoint set the it_bseg-filedxyz eq 150002341, then processing stops when belnr reaches when that values reaches.

After setting watch point press F8, the processing stops at that point.

Phani.

Yes I understand how to use it using 'classic debugger', but i kinda not sure how I can use it during the new ABAP debugger.. seems like a lot of differences.

In the new debugger, after pressing button <Create Watchpoint> you get a pop-up window with button 'No additional Condition'. Press this and next press on button in front of 'Free condition Entry'. This is the help on the new Watch point creation. Generally put, the conditions are now a lot like in ABAP programming itself!
