Detect DEBUG mode in ABAP code

Hi all,
Is there a way to detect that we are in DEBUGGING mode in ABAP code.
I need to determine this, because we have function modules that will be runned in a separate process in the background. If i could detect DEBUG mode, i could choose not to run these modules in the background, making debugging them possible.
Regards,
Rob.

When you debug a program that calls function modules using the IN BACKGROUND TASK addition, they are processed in a background work process (additional internal session). If you set the In background task: Do not process option, the system collects the function calls, but does not start the background work process. The Debugger assigns a transaction ID, which identifies the background work process uniquely. You can now start the Debugger for the background work process using transaction SM58. You can select the function module concerned here, and then execute it via the Edit menu.

There is a system variable SY-DEBUG, not sure if it works, though.

Detect debug mode in runtime?

During runtime, it is possible from the program itself to detect if it is being run in the java debug mode? Well the idea is that if it is running in the debug mode or release mode I can dynamically load the corresponding debug or release JNI classes.

Or just change the LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or PATH under Windows) that the debugger passes to java when it is started so that it finds the desired JNI shared library.

How to on Debugging Mode for T-Code F110 from Script in Sub routine Pool Pr

Hi Every one....
I have done SAP-Script for Payment Vocher for T-code F110 ..I have a Sub Routine Program where I have few Form statements which is called by SAP - Script using Perform Statements, But my problem is when I set a break point in Sub Routine pool program, the out put is issuing with out Debugger ...
Could any one plz suggest me wht to do???
Help ful answers will be rewarded....
Regards,
sg

Hi,
First see if the 'Perform' statement is getting triggered in Script. To put a breakpoint in any script ( even if you do not know the form name, that is the best part ) is se38---->RSTXDBUG --->F8 & execute your pgm/Transaction. The control will wait in the form-debugger.
I hope this helps,

IDOC: How to create child segment with abap code.

Hi,
I'am trying to write an abap code to create segments for an Idoc which structure is the following:
ZLE_00060_DLVY
> E1EDL20
> Z1DEL_CONS
>Z1DEL_MAT_HEADER
> Z1DEL_MAT
> E1EDL20RET2
> E1EDL22
> E1EDL21
> E1EDL23
> E1EDL51
I receive a sintax error: Error in IDoc with status 26 .
Checking the result I note all segment at the same level and an error about the segment E1EDL22
EDI: Syntax error in IDoc (segment cannot be identified)
     Message no. E0078
Diagnosis
     The segment E1EDL22 does not occur at the current level of the basic
     type DELVRY05 (extension ZLE_00060_DLVY).
     This error can have several reasons:
     o   The segment E1EDL22 is assigned to a group whose header segment does
         not occur.
     o   The segment E1EDL22 does not exist in the syntax description of the
         basic type DELVRY05 (extension ZLE_00060_DLVY).
     o   The sequence of segments in the group in which the segment appears
         is incorrect.
     Previous errors ('mandatory' segment or group missing) may be due to
     this error.
Procedure
     Please check the IDoc or the syntax description of the basic type
     DELVRY05 (extension ZLE_00060_DLVY).
After the error I have:
data records

Hi,
following in debugging mode the abap code of the INCLUDE ZXTRKU02 where is defined the TABLES IDOC_DATA STRUCTURE EDIDD, I find that all field of the table IDOC_DATA are not set. More exactly my expectation is to find values for SEGNUM, HLEVEL, PSGNUM.
In a few words I need to execute an enhancement, via abap code, of the struscure of the idoc before sending it out since I have a requirement to test this enhancement in my XI environment, receiving as input this ideoc modified.
Then, I need to add a new segment and one child.
Any suggestion will be well appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN works only in debug mode

Hi Rohit,
The above said is also correct + U have to write
CALL FUNCTION 'CRM_ORDER_SAVE'
    EXPORTING
      IT_OBJECTS_TO_SAVE = GT_OBJ_GUIDS
    IMPORTING
      ET_SAVED_OBJECTS   = GT_SAVED_OBJECTS

      OTHERS             = 2.
COMMIT WORK.

Well, during debugging an implicit COMMIT WORK is executed on a regular basis. This might cause the ITEM GUID to be created during debugging.
However, normally, after CRM_ORDER_MAINTAIN, you should use the CRM_ORDER_SAVE as well. This will return a list of SAVED_OBJECTS. If all objects were saved correctly, do an explicit COMMIT WORK.
Works fine for us.....

To set up a local account in debug mode

Hello,
I am a beginner. I want to setup my local account in debug mode. My code is on the remote server. After setting up my local account in debug mode i want to use that code from a remote server . How should i do that? I am using eclipse. Running on Apache tomcat.Please advise.
Thank you in advance.

Huh!? "Local account in debug mode?" What does that mean? And "my code is on a remote server". What do you mean by that? Its in a Subversion repository or something?

How to Debug a ABAP code running the background in Portal

How can I debug a ABAP code running in the background while executing a transaction code through portal.
e.g Presently I have to incorporate some checks in the portal. For that I know the function module where i need to put though checks. Now I want to know, how does the code during runtime. What values do we get in the function module. For this I need to get into the debugging mode while executing the portal.
So how can we do that???

Namit,
it doesnot matter whether it is a standard funtion module or a custom one .check whether you are debugging for proper user(portal user and backend user are same) and check debugging is activated

Debug ABAP code in InfoPackage

Hi friends,
How i can debug a ABAP code from a variable selection in Infopackage?
Thanks,
EA

I guess you would have figured it out - but for the use of people who might chance upon this post while searching ...
to debug the ABAP code in an Infopackage - you need to run it in dialog mode ( Start Data Load Immediately ) and not in background. This is because background processes cannot be debugged.

ABAP Runtime error in debug mode

Hi all,
I am facing foll. run time error in debug mode
Runtime Error          DBIF_RSQL_INVALID_CURSOR
Except.                CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB
Possible causes in the application program:
Within a loop (SELECT/LOOP/EXEC SQL), one of the following
statements is used:
- MESSAGE (apart from MESSAGE S...)
- COMMIT WORK
- ROLLBACK WORK
- CALL SCREEN
- CALL DIALOG
- CALL TRANSACTION
- SUBMIT
- BREAK-POINT
- WAIT
In debugging mode, a program sometimes triggers
a "COMMIT WORK" during the database selection. As a result
this termination may also occur in debugging mode with a correct
program.
A "COMMIT WORK" during debugging may be due to the following reason
1. A program or screen was regenerated
   and updated in the database.
2. Each user needs a private process in debugging mode, but
   the number of available processes is restricted. If this
   limit is exceeded, each debugging step then requires a
   "COMMIT WORK".
its urgent.
if i run the prg directly to tcode der is not ne error.
but i want to execute the prg. in the debug mode.
its a ZPRG.
with regards,
Purva.

hi,
You need to change your logic.
Then , i hope your problem wil be solved.
Because of nested select statements, you are getting that error.
Declare seperate Internal tables for VBRK,VBRP, KNA!,j_1iexchdr, j_1imtchid.
Declare Itab_final with all required fields from all tables.
Dont use select-endselect anywhere.
I am giving Pseudo code here.
Try to use this logic.
I used question mark in code : there you need to use ur required field names.
Hope it wil help you.
select vbeln kunrg zterm bukrs knumv netwr kunrg from vbrk into corresponding fields of table itab1
where vbeln = docno.
select matnr posnr arktx fkimg meins netwr werks aubel from vbrp into corresponding fields of table itab2 for all entries in itab1
where vbeln = itab-vbeln.
select name1 stras pstlz ort01 land1 from kna1 into corresponding fields of table itab3 for all entries in itab1
where kunnr = itab1-kunrg.
select preprn exdat docno from j_1iexchdr into corresponding fields of table itab4 for all entries in itab1
where rdoc = itab1-vbeln.
select j_1ichid from j_1imtchid into corresponding fields of table itab5 for all entries in itab2
where matnr = itab2-matnr.

Edit code while in debug mode in CC

Hi,
I have just upgraded to Flash CC, and can no longer edit code while in debug mode. It appears the code window becomes read only while debugging. This is problematic because I often find it very useful to copy in variable names from data visible in the variables display portion of the call stack. This is very helpful if I have made a typo in my variable names, or if I am reading out data from a network request and I don't know the variable names ahead of time. Is there a way to unlock the code window so it does not become read only during debugging?
-David

Hi Amy,
I appreciate that you are trying to help, and from a purely coding standpoint see the advantages to Flash Builder IDE over the Flash Professional IDE. Although personally I am a Visual Studio kinda guy... However I am working with a fairly large code base, (we are a small game studio that has been working with flash cs4, 5, and 5.5 for the past 5 years) and while nobody that works for me is crazy enough to put code on the timeline, we do have a significant amount of UI elements, dialogs, and layouts that are designed in the Flash editor with logic in classes that extend those elements. Now correct me if I am wrong, but it is my understanding that you cannot build FLA files from flash builder let alone have them link with the classes that are set to extend them in Flash Professional. The move to CC actually gives us access to Flash Builder - something that previously was an additional $500 a seat. While it may make sense for us to use in the future, for now I am faced with the issue of the new Flash CC has removed the ability to edit the code while debugging. I was hoping there was a setting or a hidden option to turn this very unnecessary change off, I wasn't really asking for a critique of my IDE choice.

Garble code in debug mode

hi,
i downloaded a txt file from 3rd party software and upload to sap. all country are ok except 1 country.
in 1 of the line, there is a character at the begining of the line :
锘?20:070511
it should actually be :20:070511.
this character only can be seen in debug mode. i tried to delete the line and type in manually in the txt file and reupload to sap but the character still there.
what could be the cause and how to do away with it?
thanks

Hi,
If possible, please use GUI_UPLOAD, if its available on your system.
CODE PAGE helps identify SAP, which Texts/characters its dealing with.
Each country has different code page.
Chinense say 1100

How to skip a selection screen mandatory field in debugging mode with out changing the code?

Hi Team,
In my report there is two fields on selection screen, one is obligatory field , but i just want to execute the report(for testing per pus) with out entering the data for the mandatory field with out changing the code. could u let me know which event and how to debug the report. or else in debugging mode how can i change that field as non mandatory field.
Regards,
Venkat.

If the value is not of importance how come it became obligatory in your program?
Any how you can do one thing...Put some value in your obligatory field, put a debugger point where you are interested in and use the pencil tool to change the value of the field while debugging.

Code runs fine in debug mode but hangs when compiled in release mode

I am struggling with the following problem. I have code which runs fine when it is executed in debug mode. However, when I compile it in release mode and run the executable, the code freezes and does not work. The code acquires images from a Hamamatsu camera. In the debug mode I am able to continuously acquire images. However, in the release version, the code hangs after acquiring the first image.
I am using LabWindows/CVI version 7.
I would greatly appreciate if I can get any help/suggestions in resolving this problem?
Thanks!

Sripad
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sripad:
If you search this forum for "debug release crash" or "release version crash" or similar phrases, you'll find that this is a pretty common question. Look through the other posts you find here to see if anything is applicable to you.
The debug version does some things like padding variables so you can sometimes overrun your declared variable space without overwriting the next variable. In the release, the variables are packed, so if you overrun one, you are overwriting another. Just one possible difference.
You can do some things in your release code to see where things get lost, like (temporarily using printf statements after multiple statements at the start and end of your loop to try to identify that failing line of code.
Look through other threads to find other ideas.
