ABAP Debugger : How to create breakpoint in source code?

Former Member — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 13:11:47 GMT

Hi!

In BW, I need to analyze when a particular SAP Table is 'hit' with a Select statement.

Without knowing where I can find this code, how do I create a break-point for the particular table? Like breakpoint at 'FROM TABLE XXXX'.

Best regards,

use ST05 to analyse this

Hi,

That's the thing. I've used ST05 and identified which tables are heavily accessed. But I don't know when this table is accessed (not within my code). Debugging step-by-step takes forever, since there is quite a bit of logic.

Isn't there a way to have a break-point at particular source code text, without knowing where it is?

hi AG,

if you are in debug, in the menu you can see : Breakpoint / By statetment. Here you can give in a statement and the debugger will stop the program when reaching the statement. For example you can give SELECT and it will stop by each SELECT statement. Unfortunately you cannot restrict further, so you have to stop each time, until you reach the table you need, but at least it is not step by step.

Cheers Eric,

So it's only beginning of statements that can be searched, neither wildcard searches nor in the middle of the source code line.

Appreciate it a lot, thanks again for the clarification.

to be honest I never tried to add wildcards so, I don't know, but I would except that it won't work with wildcards, however you should give a try!
