ABAP Documentation Template

Dear all,
We're going to standardize the ABAP documentaion format. Current ABAP documentation template at SE38 Documentation is as follows:
Purpose
Integration
Prerequsite
Features
Selection
Standard_Variant
Output
Activities
Example
However, we would like to create our own documentation template, such as Prog_ID, Programmer, Responsible_BY, etc.
How to modify the default documentation template? We've tried SE61 but don't know where to start at.
Regards,
Thomas

Yes, we know that we can create custom heading. But we would like to get the template loaded when programmer type in the documentation. So they don't need to type the custom heading again.
We just found that using SE61 with document class "General Text" and Name "TEMPLATE_RE" stores the ABAP documentation template.
Any one familiar with SE61 changes? Any tips or suggestion on modifying setting there?

  • ABAP Documentation Generation, Javadoc-like

    Hello everyone,
    I've got one topic to discuss that I do not find very much information about on SCN. It's about documentation. and I don't mean SAP documentation like help.sap.com, but the documentation about the software we (=developers) are producing by writing ABAP-code. That thing that we tend to neglect.
    So is there any tool that is similar to [Javadoc|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javadoc], something like a ABAP Documentation Generator? A tool that generates a code-based documentation out of the source-code comments? As far as I know, there is no such functionality in the ABAP workbench. The only community project I found was ABAP Docs, but that seems to be inactive and is not even accessibly online.
    How do you document your software? Do you use external tools, anything that is integrated into the SAP system? Or is it a completely segregated solution like we use in my company (Word)? What strategies do you use to create Architecture Documentation, Technical Documentation and End User Documentation?
    It seems to me that there are lots of software solutions that can create modern documentation including different formats, layout templates, guidelines etc. But I haven't found anything related to ABAP development. Maybe the best example is Wikipedias [Comparison of documentation generators|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_documentation_generators]. Just search for ABAP.
    I am looking forward to read about your experiences in documenting ABAP software!

    Surprisingly (more or less) the list has no entry for a tool that supports ABAP, that was my point.
    In the [Language support|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_documentation_generators#Language_support] table there is an Any With Comments column. Looking at the examples for [Natural Docs|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_Docs] and [ROBODoc|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROBODoc], they might work for ABAP too. YMMV
    Hope this helps,
    Rossen

  • Possible to view graphics in ABAP documentation without printing?

    I have uploaded a bitmap to the document server and included it in the documentation of my component (an interface, in this case), for which the ABAP workbench generates the statement
    BITMAP 'BO_VSAB' OBJECT GRAPHICS ID BMAP TYPE BCOL DPI 300
    The picture is displayed in the print preview, and also prints alright.  I'd prefer to see it without printing, though, while simply viewing the documentation online. Is there a trick to achieve that, for example by using a different form than the standard S_DOCU_SHOW, or whatever?
    -- Sebastian

    Quite honestly, so far I've never seen any ABAP documentation with images. I kind of doubt it is feasible because the thingy that displays documentation most likely doesn't have any capability of displaying graphics. I'm guessing there is simply no container or screen element for that.
    I'm affraid you'll have to create your own screen to achieve this.

  • Wanted Oracle AIM documentation templates

    Hi There,
    I would appreciate if someone could be so kind and share/send/upload to me the good old Oracle AIM documentation templates.
    I don't need all only couple of them, for example:
    MD070, RD070, MD120, etc ...
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Viktoria

    Bruce, historically there have been only two different approaches to IT documentation.
    Approach 1 - there isn't any
    Approach 2 - the documentation is worthless
    Both approaches are in wide spread use today.
    If you plan on breaking with IT tradition then I suggest you keep it simple. Plain text or html will be readable years from now without having to have the correct version of any piece of software or someone having to reformat the documentation into a new version of some product or worse trying to migrate documentation stored in one product into a different product altogether.
    A simple directory structure fillled with application project definition documents, program descriptions, batch cycle descriptions, and glossaries on a network device that is actually backed up rather than just said to be backed up can prove very useful over time.

  • ABAP Objects template for HR programs

    Is there a template to use Objects in HR programs the way we had with HR-macros ? It used to be like this when using PNP LDB:
    <b>INITIALIZATION</b>
    <i><initialize buffer></i>
    <b>START-OF-SELECTION</b>
    <i><initial setup></i>
    <b>GET PERNR
    rp-provide-from-last <i><pNNNN></i> space low_date high_date.</b>
    <i><store in an internal table></i>
    <b>...
    END-OF-SELECTION</b>
    <i><process the internal table></i>
    Is there an ABAP Objects equivalent of calling standard FM/macros in HR? What are the most usefull Classes to process HR employee master data (ie. IT0000-IT0999) ? Any usefull refrences/links will be helpful.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    This is still the approved method so stick with this.
    It works perfectly ok so there is no view to changing it.
    Cheers

  • Documentation templates and naming coventions

    Greetings all,
    nice to join the SAP community Network
    I have started working in documentation management for a big project, can any please help me to know if SAP recommends some naming conventions and Templates (as part of Best Practices)? There will be more variety of documents in coming days, however as of now below are possible types of documents in scope:
    Business Blueprint
    To Be Processes
    Organizational Structure document (in Solution Manager)
    Configuration Guide
    Authorization Document
    Master Data document
    WRICEF Specifications
    WRICEF Technical Specifications
    Unit Test Cases
    Integration Test Cases
    Functional Test Cases
    UAT Test Case
    Thanks by advance

    Hi again,
    I think that this is a slight misunderstanding. In DMS you create document info records which are like containers for files. These document info records can be classified or some objects can be linked to them.
    But the main content is the uploaded original file. This can be each file format using a workstation application that you have maintained first in DC30.  This file can be a template or a finalized document that is then uploaded to a content server.
    You can also define some templates that can be used to create new original files. For further information please read the online documentation at http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_06/helpdata/en/79/60e9522806b267e10000000a441470/content.htm?frameset=/en/7a/973035624811d1949000a0c92f024a/frameset.htm&current_toc=/en/d1/e8e4535dd4414de10000000a174cb4/plain.htm&node_id=149
