Creating Watchpoints
Watchpoints are like "stop signs" for the ABAP Debugger. Sometimes we debug and look for a specific value on an internal table that has more than 1,000 records. Debugging the table on record at a time can be exhaustive and time consuming. To solve this, we can place a watchpoint. Run the debugger, and it will stop at the watchpoint's given value. This video will show you how to accomplish this.
Example
You have a report that prints all the flight information that an airport generates on a daily basis. Your boss asks you to debug the report and find the dates in which only 39 seats were occupied on all flights. To accomplish this task you are going to place watchpoints that look for 39 occupied seats.
Steps
- Place a breakpoint inside an ABAP Loop.
- Run the executable program, function or method.
- When the debugger activates, search for Watchpoint and create a new one.
- Type the name of the variable and the value you are looking for.
- Activate the watchpoint and let the debugger run (F8).It will then stop at the given value.
