ABAP Keyword Documentation → ABAP Glossary →Breakpoint
Breakpoint in an ABAP program. When it is reached, the dialog processing branches to the ABAP Debugger. Breakpoints with a limited lifespan that are valid for the current user can be set interactively in the ABAP Editor or the ABAP Debugger. With the statement BREAK-POINT, a breakpoint can be created as an unconditional checkpoint with an unlimited lifespan which is either always active or activatable by assigning it to a checkpoint group.
