hi Priya,

Did your watch point got created or not???... Which you can view by pressing the watch point button on the application tool bar while debugging .... I feel it might not have got created or ay be you are passing an incorrect value ...

hi priya ,

I think may be some problem with your logic so the debugger is not reaching that point . Check your logic once and then try.

Reward ponit if useful

regard ,

mostly ur watch point should not have been created or may you had given some other fields by mistake..

Hi,

I will give you the explanation.

If our code is like the following...

LOOP AT it_tab INTO wa_tab.

IF wa_tab-matnr is not initial.

...

ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.

First click the Create Watchpoint button in the debugger session or Shift+F4 (New Abap Debugger).

It will show the create watchpoint screen.

In the variable field, type the variable name that you want the watchpoint.

For example in our case : wa_tab-matnr

Then click the No Additional Condition

In there type your condition.

For Eg : wa_tab-matnr = '100120130'

Now test your program.Your program will stop at that condition.

Thanks and regards

Hi,

1) Watchpoints are the BREAKPOINTS which trigger when the FIELD VALUE changes in the debugger.

2)Example program:

DATA: itab TYPE TABLE OF sflight,

wa LIKE LINE OF itab.

SELECT * FROM sflight INTO TABLE itab.

LOOP AT itab INTO wa.

WRITE:/ wa-carrid, wa-connid, wa-fldate.

ENDLOOP.

3)Suppose that there are 10 carrier id eg 'AA', 'AZ' 'DL', 'JL', 'KA',' LH', 'IA' , 'QF' , 'SQ', 'UA'

3)I want to check the value of LH in debugger which is 6th carrier id.

4) Set a watchpoint in debugger:--

Program name : Zdemo.

Field name : wa-carrid

Relational operator : =

Comp.fiel/Value : LH

Press Enter.

NOTICE on STATUS BAR that One watchpoint is Created.

5)Now press F8.

6)Observer the variables in "FIELD NAME". Directly system will take you to the LH Field value with the pressing of one F8

so, watchpoints works when the FIELD VALUE changes.
