• Key Concepts: 
  ABAP trace is a debugging tool used to analyze the execution of ABAP programs. It allows developers to trace the program flow and identify errors in the code. The trace can be used to identify performance bottlenecks, memory leaks, and other issues.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use ABAP trace, the developer must first enable the trace in the ABAP Workbench. This can be done by selecting the “Enable Trace” option in the Debugging menu. Once enabled, the trace will record all program execution steps and display them in a graphical format. The developer can then analyze the trace to identify any errors or performance issues.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using ABAP trace, it is important to remember that it is only effective when used on programs that are running in debug mode. Additionally, it is important to disable the trace when it is no longer needed as it can cause performance issues if left enabled for too long.
