Hi,

ABAP Debugger is a tool which helps smooth debugging of your code. Pushbuttons and their usage:

Fields - You can double click on a field to know its value at runtime.

Table - Clicking on this and then double click on any internal table / workarea, you can view the values stored at runtime.

Breakpoints - You can see the breakpoints for your code by clicking on this button. If you want to set break points, navigate to Breakpoint in the menu and then use break-point at functionality. By this you can set breakpoint at various levels. Also you can navigate to a particular line of code and double click at the beginning on the line to set a breakpoint.

Watch points - This feature is used in order to check for particular field getting a specific value at runtime. For example if you have a field like itab-vbeln, and if you want to stop when itab-vbeln gets value 10000, you can create a watch point. once this value is reached the system will intimate saying watch point reached. This feature helps when you want to analyse a particular record bypassing various other records in the flow.

Calls - This will show all the system calls made, i.e the various programs types and processing blocks called will be displayed.

Overview - displays the processing blocks of the current program

Settings - Here you can configure how the debugger has to behave in case of update tasks / memory monitoring etc.

Hope this helps a bit.

Rgds,
