Debugger Tracing

You use this scripting functionality to produce the following types of traces:

• Statement Trace

• Trace of the Call Hierarchy

• User Specific Trace.

You can trace your program using one of the above types, or you can combine them in one script.

After you have created and executed your script, producing a trace file, the file appears in the list of trace files on the Trace File tab page.

The list is sorted according to time stamp. The newest trace appears first.

For each trace, the following functions are available:

• You can display the trace file in the standalone trace analysis SAS: ABAP Debugger Tracing and Scripting (transaction code SAS).

  To do this, choose with the quick info text Next step.

  SAS: ABAP Debugger Scripting and Tracing is opened in its own mode.

• To display the trace file in the Debugger Scripting tool, choose with the quick info text Display.

  A dialog box appears, containing information about the trace file and the components of the trace.

  • You can choose to display only one component, even if you have combined more than one in your trace, such as a statement trace and a call hierarchy trace.

  • You can choose to display the file in SAS: ABAP Debugger Tracing by choosing Start Standalone Trace Analysis.
