In SAP Technical interviews the candidate should enusre that as far as possible he explains the entire technical stuff. One frequently asked question in interiviews for SAP ABAP programming professionals is relating to breakpoints. Normally interviewers ask the candidate-

Q). What is a breakpoint and how break points are set?

Breakpoints are used to scrutinize how the system behaves at a certain point in the ABAP code. A user can set a breakpoint, to ensure that the system goes into debug mode at that point. By setting a breakpoint, and accessing the source code user can follow routine through each step. Breakpoints are very useful in examining how routines and requirements function.

One important point to remember is that dynamic breakpoints are valid only for the user that sets them. Once the user logs off the system, breakpoints are automatically deleted. The transaction VOFM takes the user to the requirements and formulas screen. One can select a requirement and then by selecting the requirement maintenance button which leads the user to the screen where the routine can be selected again. User should now press F5 or click on the icon for source text, which takes the user to the source text (ABAP code). Placing the cursor on the position in the text that one wishes to analyze and selecting the Stop icon automatically sets the breakpoint in the program. Should this requirement be active, the next time the user attempts to post Goods Issue, the system will stop at that breakpoint. If it does not, the system is not entering that code.
