Debugging ABAP Code

The ABAP Debugger in the ABAP Development Tools can satisfy most of your debugging requirements. Start the debugger by setting a breakpoint in your code and then running the ABAP program.

The debugger offers, among other features

• Setting and Managing Breakpoints in the debugger.
• Breakpoints in the Debugger - Characteristics, so that you can capture external calls via HTTP or RFC into the ABAP back end system in the ADT debugger
• Using Watchpoints
• Displaying and Changing Variables
• Displaying and Changing Internal Tables
• Displaying Exceptions
• Navigating in the Debugger
• Direct editing in the debugger, so that you can correct a mistake right when you find it, as well as many other comfort and efficiency features

It's an ABAP debugger, but the look, feel, and functionality are all Eclipse, with all of the comfort and feature-richness that one associates with Eclipse. For a quick orientation to the Debug perspective, follow this ABAP Debugging in ADT.
