• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SY279 - Entry breakpoints active ?

  The SAP error message SY279: Entry breakpoints active indicates that there are active breakpoints in the ABAP program you are trying to execute. This typically occurs during debugging sessions when breakpoints have been set in the code, causing the program to halt execution at those points.
  Cause:
  
  Active Breakpoints: The most common cause of this error is that there are breakpoints set in the ABAP code, either by the developer or during a debugging session.
  Debugging Mode: If you are running a program in debugging mode, it will stop at the breakpoints, leading to this message.
  User-Specific Breakpoints: Breakpoints can be user-specific, meaning they are set for a particular user and may not be visible to others.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Remove Breakpoints:
  
  Go to the ABAP Editor (transaction SE38 or SE80).
  Open the program where the breakpoints are set.
  Use the menu path Utilities > Breakpoints > Display to see all active breakpoints.
  You can remove breakpoints by selecting them and choosing Delete or by using the command /h to enter debugging mode and then removing them.
  
  
  
  Deactivate Debugging:
  
  If you are not debugging, ensure that you are not running the program in debug mode. You can do this by simply executing the program normally without entering the debugger.
  
  
  
  Check User-Specific Breakpoints:
  
  If you suspect that there are user-specific breakpoints, you can check them by going to Utilities > Breakpoints > User Breakpoints in the ABAP Editor and remove any unnecessary breakpoints.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Code:
  
  You can also use transaction code /h to toggle debugging mode on and off. If you are in debugging mode, you can exit it to run the program without stopping at breakpoints.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Debugging in SAP: Understanding how to use the debugger effectively can help you manage breakpoints and troubleshoot issues in ABAP programs.
  User-Specific Settings: Breakpoints can be set for individual users, so if multiple users are working on the same program, they may have different breakpoints active.
  Performance Considerations: Having too many breakpoints can slow down program execution, so it's good practice to remove unnecessary breakpoints after debugging.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the SY279 error and continue with your ABAP program execution.
