Debugging

[Former Member]

Hi

I am new to ABAP . I need all concepts in Debugging

Could you please forward me any material about Debugging

Thanks

[gopi_narendra]

Classic debugger is the one used earlier for older versions. now there is a new one. These are user friendly when you point on an icon will give you the info or else you can click and check them functionality in a test program. These are user friendly.

if you go to utilities -> settings and the debugging tab you will see these two options. you can toggle between them and check the difference and the look and feel.

check these...

ABAP DEBUGGING

Debug Program scheduled Background

3 types update,normal and system debugging

check this for update debugging

If you set "Update Debbugging" you can debug the codes which works in update tusk.

SAP std often runs the routine (function or form) to update the database in update tusk mode, these routine start as soon as a commit work is done.

The commit is called at the end of the program, so you can't debug them by "normal debbugging" because it ends as soon as the program ends

or----

---

All the database updates are performed by the update work processes by calling the functions/subroutines in update tasks.

These tasks are executed after a commit work is reached in the application. By default you cannot debug these functions.

TO debug these u need to explicitly activate update debugging.

for system debugging check the below link

System Debugging

If you set this option, the Debugger is also activated for system programs (programs with status S in their program attributes). When you save breakpoints, the System Debugging setting is also saved.

Update Debugging

Update function modules do not run in the same user session as the program that is currently running in the ABAP Debugger. These function modules are therefore not included in debugging. Only if you select the Update Debugging option can you display and debug them after the COMMIT WORK.

Normal Debugging

Normal debugging is the one we do it by the normal dynamic break points or by /H or by using stattic break points.

You can switch to diffferent debuggin modes while processing.

BREAKPOINT

In the source code we set the Break-point there by clicking the stop button, the system will stop there when you execute the program.

Watchpoint

For watchpoints, we need to give some condition and when this condition is satisfied, program will stop

example : if you want to debug only

for matnr value 100 than set watch point

matnr = 100. when value reaches 100 than

program stops at that point.

Hi,

see these links.

F5->step by step debugging

F6->to skip the blocks like form...endform,etc..

F7->to come out of the blocks like form ...endform,etc,.

F8->run up to the cursor/next break point or run that program completely.

HI SALMAN,

Debugging is very simple.

in debugging we are using break points and watch points, break points for program level validations, watch points for field level validations.

we have mainly

F5 Single statment execution,

F6 Single step execution,

F7 Return,

F8 Continue,

when we press F5 it will execute each statment at a time.

when we press F6 it will execute group of statments at a time

Ex performs, function mdoules.

when we press F7 it will help to come out of subroutine and funtion modules.

when we press F8 it will execute to output or next break point

How do you see what values are getting updated in the table and fields??
