  • Key Concepts: 
    The ABAP Debugger is a tool used to debug ABAP programs. It allows developers to analyze the program flow, check variable values, and identify errors in the code. The ABAP Debugger is part of the BC-ABA ABAP Runtime Environment, which is a set of tools used to develop and maintain ABAP programs. 
    
    How to use it: 
    The ABAP Debugger can be used to debug any ABAP program. To use it, the developer must first set breakpoints in the code. These breakpoints are points in the code where the debugger will pause execution and allow the developer to analyze the program flow and variable values. The developer can then step through the code line by line, or jump to specific lines of code. The debugger also provides a number of other features such as watchpoints, which allow the developer to monitor changes in variable values. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When debugging an ABAP program, it is important to remember that breakpoints can be set at any point in the code. This allows developers to quickly identify errors and isolate them to specific sections of code. Additionally, it is important to remember that the debugger can be used to monitor changes in variable values, which can help identify errors that may not be immediately apparent.
