New ABAP Debugger: Corrections and improvements

SAP Note Number: 934616

Symptom
The following corrections and improvements were made in the new ABAP Debugger. Downloading the paramaters of a function module in the SE37 test environment is now also possible for:

Unstructured tables Strings Global interfaces

Usability improvements:

Optional saving of Debugger breakpoints (as in the classic Debugger) Improvements in the "Create Breakpoint/Watchpoint" dialog (errors are reported online immediately rather than after you save yourchanges) The watchpoint variable can be omitted in watchpoint conditions. (a watchpoint on SY-SUBRC with condition SY-SUBRC > 5 -> short form > 5 is permitted) New desktop for the Data Explorer Improved "Load/Save Debugger Session" dialog Shortcuts for accessing the individual desktops and creating certain breakpoint types directly (for example, SHIFT+F9 -> Breakpoint for method)

Diff Tool:

The private attributes of two objects can be compared. Icons containing offset/length specifications can also be compared.

For Web Dynpro applications, the header area of the new Debugger contains the name of the Web Dynpro Application and the controller, rather than the name of the generated class. Other errors that have been corrected:

Search dialog for internal tables: Scrolling in columns past column 99 resulted in runtime error DYNPRO_FIELD_CONVERSION. The screen logic of the old program is displayed sporadically, even though the

program has been changed.

Debugger settings are saved in logon language 1 (for example, DE) but are not available in logon language 2 (for example, EN).
