List of pseudo-statements allowed in debugger "breakpoint at statement"

[Sandra_Rossi]

Hi all,

In the debugger (new and classic), we are allowed to add a soft breakpoint each time a given statement is reached. I think one of the more used is "MESSAGE". There are also special names that can be used to stop at some special variants of keywords like "INSERT DBTAB", which doesn't stop at INSERT for internal tables, but only at the ones for database tables.

Unfortunately, until debugger 7.02, we don't know the list of these special names.

Olga Dolinskaja, In her recent blog, "News in ABAP Debugger Breakpoints and Watchpoints , Statement Debugging", explained there is a search help IN THE DEBUGGER which provides the list .

Could someone be kind enough to paste the list here, so that we can use it in previous releases? (I will also then test which ones are valid in old releases)

Thank you

Sandra

Any good will? Does nobody use 7.02/7.2/7.3? Pretty easy question

Hi Sandra,

sorry, no.

There is F4 for almost everything, but not for the command names you can use here.

I debugged the debugger in buggy 702 and found that the breakpoints are set as entered in a kernel function that will return an error code if the statement is not known in kernel or has been already set.

Lets hope that someone, perhaps Olga knows more.

Hi Clemens,

Olga, in her blog (/people/olga.dolinskaja/blog/2011/07/14/news-in-abap-debugger-breakpoints-and-watchpoints-statement-debugging), shows a screen capture of the search help, and its list of values presented hierarchically. She says it's 7.02 (7.0 ehp 2). I'd be surprised if it was provided in a support package/SAP note. Are you sure you've went to the same screen as Olga?

Hi Sandra

I can confirm what Olga and you say

I mean I can use two different system ECC 6:

- one without EPH, SAP_BASIS, SAP_ABA 700

- one with EPH 5, SAP_BASIS, SAP_ABA 702

In the second system I can see the search help, but in the first one I can't

So if you need the list I can send it

Max,

Okay. What I was asking is, could someone please share the content of this search help? I'd like to know what we can use on oldest systems (7.0, 6.20, 4.6, etc.) As Clemens said, SAP never provided information about this very useful feature (for example, being able to stop at each CALL FUNCTION ... IN UPDATE TASK), and we can only guess. So, instead of guessing, I'd like a shortest list. Well, I know it's a hierarchical list, but maybe debugging the search help could help?

Thanks

Hi,

check here for the excel created from debugger before the tree was built:

[New debugger breakpoint commands|https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AgRl2CtMXG8GdGZZa2lST2FsRk5aM0tOdXEwbUgxQlE&hl=en_US]

Regards,

Clemens

[Sandra_Rossi]

Thanks Clemens, that's it, and it makes me very happy

I've just created a wiki : Soft breakpoint at statement - ABAP Development - SCN Wiki

Later, I will update it to indicate which ones are available on previous releases.

Nice Wiki post, very useful & informative. Thanks to Sandra & Clemens.
