Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ADW078 - Reduce code set to 30 lines; maximum of 30 breakpoints possible ?

  The SAP error message ADW078 indicates that you have exceeded the maximum number of breakpoints allowed in the ABAP debugger. In SAP, breakpoints are used to pause the execution of a program so that you can inspect the state of the program at that point. However, there is a limit to the number of breakpoints that can be set at one time.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to set more than 30 breakpoints in your ABAP program. This limit is imposed to ensure that the debugging process remains efficient and manageable. When you try to set additional breakpoints beyond this limit, the system generates the error message ADW078.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Reduce the Number of Breakpoints: Review the breakpoints you have set and remove any that are not necessary. You can do this by:
  
  Opening the ABAP debugger.
  Navigating to the "Breakpoints" tab.
  Selecting the breakpoints you want to delete and removing them.
  
  
  
  Use Conditional Breakpoints: Instead of setting multiple breakpoints, consider using conditional breakpoints. This allows you to set a breakpoint that only triggers under certain conditions, which can help you reduce the total number of breakpoints.
  
  
  Use Watchpoints: If you are monitoring specific variables, consider using watchpoints instead of breakpoints. Watchpoints can be set to trigger when a variable changes, which can help you focus on specific areas of your code without needing multiple breakpoints.
  
  
  Debug in Smaller Segments: If you are debugging a large program, consider breaking it down into smaller segments and debugging each segment separately. This can help you manage the number of breakpoints more effectively.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  ABAP Debugger: The ABAP debugger is a powerful tool for analyzing and troubleshooting ABAP programs. Familiarizing yourself with its features can help you debug more efficiently.
  Performance Considerations: Keep in mind that having too many breakpoints can slow down the debugging process. Reducing the number of breakpoints can improve performance.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any updates or changes related to debugging limits, as these can vary between different versions of SAP.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the ADW078 error and continue debugging your ABAP program effectively.
