WIth out setting Break point in the code, we can set the break points externally ..

I am not sure some times i used to get a popup to ask session break point or external break point...

Hi

BREAK-POINT defines an unconditional checkpoint. If the program reaches an active breakpoint during dialog processing, program execution is interrupted and the system switches to the ABAP Debugger. An inactive breakpoint will be ignored and program execution will continue with the statement following BREAK-POINT.

There is enough help in ABAP editor. (press F1)

When an external break point is activated , they will work like normal break point when they are called from for example browser (BSP application, Integrated ITs application). sometimes its also called HTTP breakpoint.

Exteranl break points are used for debugging, BSP applications, BW webquery/template , etc.

Hi,

Then what's the difference between external breakpoint and session breakpoint?

Thanks!

[Former Member]

Hi Long

Externel breakpoint will always debug the program in your all sessions but if you have used session breakpoint this will work only in your curent session. It wont work once you log-off your current session.

And also FYI this (session breakpoint)will be active in only your session not in other user's whereas external breakpoint will work in your session as well as other's even you have logged in more than once.

Hope it helps
