Classic ABAP Debugger

Use

This section of the ABAP Workbench documentation provides information on how to use the Classic ABAP Debugger as a test tool for finding errors in the source code of an ABAP program.

Restriction Please note that the Classic ABAP Debugger is now obsolete and can no longer be set using the functions for user-specific settings. For this reason, we recommend using the Standard ABAP Debugger instead. However, if you do wish to use the Classic Debugger nonetheless, click on the information icon for the debugging settings in the menu Start of the navigation path
