view a short dump received by a user in SAP



Short dumps care generated when one of the SAP programs encounters an “abnormal” condition, a condition that the program was not coded to handle in any of its error routines.  While it is not a function of the Basis support team to “debug” SAP programs, familiarity with some of the dump sections can be valuable for SAP Note searches and/or logging system problems with SAP.

1.               Log on to any client in the appropriate SAP system.
2.               Go to transaction ST22.
3.               On the ABAP runtime errors screen, you can click the Today button for today’s dumps, the Yesterday button for yesterday’s dumps, or use the Own Selection section of the screen to narrow down your time date/time range and then click the Start you selection button. 
4.               On the List of Selected Runtime Errors screen,double-click on any short dump you want to examine more closely.
5.               On the Runtime Error Long List screen, make note of the error that occurred in the What Happened? section, any unique information in the Error analysis section, and search terms for searching SAP Notes in the How to correct the error section.
You may now leave the ST22 transaction
