Variables in Breakpoint Conditions

In breakpoint conditions, you can use both simple variables and components of structures as variables. In addition, you can also access field symbols, class attributes and the content of internal table rows. Finally, you have the option, to specify offset and length for strings, xstrings, and character fields.

Using Variable Symbols

In addition, to access variables, you can make use of some specific debugger notations (variable symbols) that are not available in ABAP source code.

Variable Symbol	Meaning
`itab[]`	Identifies the internal table `itab` This symbol is only important for tables with a header row where `itab` identifies the header row of the internal table.
`itab[n]`	Accesses the n-th row of the internal `itab`
`{C:my_class}`	Identifies a class with the name `my_class`

Variable Symbol

Meaning

itab[]

Identifies the internal table itab

This symbol is only important for tables with a header row where itab identifies the header row of the internal table.

itab[n]

Accesses the n-th row of the internal itab

{C:my_class}

Identifies a class with the name my_class

You can use these symbols to access components as operands for breakpoint conditions, for example:

{c:myclass}-attr1 - Accesses the static attribute attr1 of the classmyclass

itab[100]-comp1 - Accesses the component comp1 of the internal table itab for the 100-th row
