How to enforce 72 chars/line in ABAP editor?

Hello,
While trying to transport a custom function module from 6.4 to 4.6C, I came to realize that 4.6C chops source lines after 72 characters.
Is there a way to force a "word wrap" in 6.4 ABAP editor so that the code become compatible with 4.6C?
Or, is there a way to force 4.6C to accept ABAP lines longer than 72 characters?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Peter

In SE38, in the menu, 'Utilities>Settings>ABAP Editor tab-->Editor tab', you will see a check box at the bottom of the screen 'Default line length(72)'. Check that.

  • Pretty Printer ONLY for selected lines in ABAP editor?

    Hi,
    I have done SETTINGS(Menu----Utilities) in PRETTY PRINTER in my ABAP editor that, all KEY WORDS shuld b in UPPER CASE.
    Say, I hv written code(in raw format, not yet pressed the PRETTY PRITER) like below,
    ABAP Code Line_1
    ABAP Code Line_2
    ABAP Code Line_3
    ABAP Code Line_4
    ABAP Code Line_5
    I want to hv pretty printer format for Line 3 and Line 5 ONLY!! I do not want to hv it for other lines, so, I high lighted(selected) those lines (3 and 5) and pressed pretty printer, but, am getting the pretty printer format for all the rest of the code as a single shot!!
    So, pls. let me know that, How I can get the pretty printer format ONLY for the lines, for which I wished(selected by high lighting)?
    And also let me know, How Can I do automatic(not manually) indentation for my code as a part of pretty printer? Actually, I tried but, am not getting even though I checled the check box intendation in SETTINGS!!
    Thank you

    Hi ,
    Preety printer will work on all the code that is avaliable in window,
    In case. if you want to do partial , copy your code in seperate window and do Pretty Printer for  it.

    Hello Kedar,

  • How to get keywords colored in the abap editor

    How do i get the syntax coloring done in abap editor? Is it possible to get the different colors for different keywords in abap editor?

    Hello,
    There is no option for colour.But you can change the key words to upper case.
    For that first go to Utilities->Settings->ABAP EDITOR TAB->PRETTY PRINTER TAB.
    Now u can check INDENT and upper or lower case depending on your requirements.This is for pretty printer settings.
    Come back to your code and click on pretty printer and the keywords are changed to upper-case.

  • How to display values and new char line (blank line)

    Hi,
    In database, one field contains values followed by new character lines (blank lines) after blank lines there is no values. Finally, I would say the field contains values and blank lines. Every thing is fine in database.
    In Crystal Reports the field is displaying only values. Need to display values and blank line.
    User is asking after values new character lines (blank line) to be shown. They enter like that in an application. The user doubt is why report is not showing what they enter in the application.
    In detail explanation, front end tool is ASP.NET and backend is SQL Server.
    User enter some values in note field, after that they hit enter button in the same field, cursor will go next line...user may hit u2018enter buttonu2019 more than 5 times. So note field contain values and some blank lines which are created by after hitting enter button.
    If user opens the application, they could see values plus blank lines in the note field.
    They are fine with the application.
    In Crystal Reports, the note field shows only values.
    User is questioning that why we could not see in report we enter.
    I checked in .Net application and SQL server database it is fine. It is displaying values and blank line.
    Please help me out how to display values followed by blank lines in Crystal Reports - the way they enter in the application.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Manjunath N. Jogin

    Hi,
    Sharonmat,
    I tried as you suggested. It is still displaying only values.
    I would like to explain again.
    it is not exactly null values.
    In .Net application it is called 'new char line'.
    it shows those many lines look like null.
    it is working fine in database.
    Why it is not working in Crystal Reports? I am wondering...
    Thanks for your suggestion.
    Debi,
    User may enter any number of blank lines or they may not enter blank lines.
    That is the reason I can not always give more height or blank text object.
    Thanks for your suggestion.
    Please suggest me some more suggestions,
    Thanks and Regards,
    Manjunath N. Jogin

    Hi,
    You can not change the width of ABAP editor, You can only change the compatibility because the older ABAP editor only supports 72 char length, so in your new ABAP editor you can go to utilities->ABAP EDITOR->EDITOR and check the "Downward-Compatible line length(72)" .
