Exercise (Chapter 8):

In these exercises you will get hands on experience using the Online Debugger Tool. You will work with the debugger to observe the execution of a program.

Objectives

After completing this exercise, you will be able to:

• Understand how the debugger steps through each line of source code in an ABAP program and populates both fields and internal tables.

Estimated time to complete this exercise: 30 minutes

Exercises

The following exercises provide practice working with the concepts learned in Chapter 8.

Exercise 1

Look at your exercise YIN010_XX in the debugger to see that even though you did not output anything to a list, your internal table was still populated. (You will need to type the name of your internal table in the debugger in the TABLE view). See below for a picture of what the debugger will look like. Notice that for internal tables WITH a header line, a bowler hat denotes the header line. (Circled in the illustration).

Exercise 2

Copy the program YIN024 to your own development class as and rename the copied program to YIN024_XX. Correct the code so that it compiles. Then use the Debugger to correct any other errors. You should make a total of four corrections. Refer to Program YIN024_ANSWER for the solution.
