New ABAP Debugger Issue

[Former Member]

Hi Folks,

This is more an annoyance than anything but does anyone know how to get the ABAP debugger screen to close when I have finished debugging.

For example, I am debugging a report which has 30 lines, I put in my breakpoint on line 10, F5 to line 20 and then F8 it the rest of the way.

My original screen will show the output of the program but the debugging screen will still display with the cursor sitting on line 20. I can't do anything with the screen but it's taking up a session and will stay there until I leave the main report on the other screen.

Anyone know how to ensure that once I press F8 and the debugging session is complete that the debugging screen closes?

Hi

in new debugger, once you have pressed the f8 means your processing is done and the output is shown on the screen. your debugger still remains on.

In this case you can right click on the debugger tab in status bar and stop transaction Or at the top left corner of the window there is a button which is almost hidden, click on the and stop transaction.

I hope this will work.

Thanks

Hello Colm,

I think you have to turn on this setting in the new debugger: Settings>Display/Change Debugger Settings>Close Debugger After 'F8' and Roll Area End.

Check the last paragraph in this SAP documentation on [New Debugger|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_NW70EHP1core/helpdata/en/84/1f624f4505144199e3d570cf7a9225/frameset.htm].

Hope this helps.

hi,

when your original screen will show the output of the program at the time of debugging . you use the key F3, and F8, f3 closes your debugger completely . when u use these two key . your problem is solved.

LG,

That is how I am currently doing it but it seems to me that this is very bad design as I can no longer do anything with the debugging screen. And from what Suhas says this should not be the case.

Suhas,

Your answer seemed to be exactly what I was looking for but when I checked my settings this was checked already. I tried unchecking and then checking but no joy unfortunatly, this seems to be a bug to me?

Kamal,

When I leave my output you are correct, the debugging window closes but as I said above, I don't think I need to do this.

I will now check for a note on this issue.
