About This Course

Quickly learn core SAP commands and ABAP debugging method without having to learn ABAP programming

The course I wish existed when I was starting out in SAP
Being able to read, understand and debug SAP ABAP code is the number one skill set for anyone working with SAP. Today's companies are expecting their SAP functional consultants, key users and support staff to be able to debug ABAP code as part of their normal role in bugs fixing and problem solving. The ability to debug is also critical in being able to quickly design and prototype solutions.

You don't have to learn ABAP programming to debug in ABAP!

This SAP course is designed to help non-programmers quickly learn and debug SAP ABAP code without having to learn all of the complexity of ABAP programming as in all other SAP ABAP courses.

The course creators Abdul Maulud (functional) and Omar Lucero (ABAP programmer), will introduce you to the key ABAP commands required to understand SAP ABAP and the techniques as to start debugging ABAP code.

In this course, you will learn

• The core ABAP commands as to understand the code and to get you started in debugging.

• Step by step on how to get debugging. How to use the most common toolset, transactions, command, resources, etc

• How to debug the most common custom ABAP objects (RICEF), from how to debug forms, interfaces to the SAP user-exits & enhancements.

• The debugging approach, from managing function models, BAPIs and even debugging SAP own code!

• The “tricks of the trade” from a veteran ABAP developer, from how to find problem code, where variables are used, creating break and watch points, and much, much more.

Learn by watching the author goes step by step, debug SAP ABAP code while he explains why and what he is doing and you will be debugging ABAP code in no time.

The course is aimed at non-programmers to learn how to debug code, so we will not covering programming theory or complicated SAP code logic (let's leave that to the programmers), but focusing on practical step by step demonstrations.

Whether you're new to SAP, or just new to the ABAP language, this course is your guide to the rapid, real-world of SAP.

So why waste hundreds of dollars and hours taking a SAP ABAP courses in an attempt to learn everything about programming in ABAP just to write "Hello World" on screen.
