  Cause
  
  Breakpoints Disabled: The debugger may have been disabled, or the breakpoints were deactivated manually.

  Solutions
  
  
  Activate Breakpoints: Ensure that breakpoints are activated in the debugger. You can do this by:
  
  Opening the ABAP editor (SE38 or SE80).
  Setting breakpoints again in the code.
  Using the command /h to start the debugger before executing the program.
  
  
  
  Check User Profile: Verify that your user profile allows debugging. You can check this in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) under the "Parameters" tab.
  
  
  Debugging Mode: Ensure that you are running the program in a mode that supports debugging. If you are executing the program in the background, switch to foreground execution.
  
  
  Review Transport Requests: If the program is part of a transport request, check if the breakpoints are set in the correct version of the program. You may need to re-set breakpoints after the transport.
  
  
  System Configuration: Consult with your SAP Basis team to ensure that there are no system-wide settings that might be affecting the debugger's functionality.
