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 in the ABAP Debugger. With the statement BREAK-POINT, a breakpoint can be created as unconditional breakpoint with unlimited lifespan, which is either always active or activatable by assigning it to a checkpoint group.
