Your thoughts on the new ABAP editor
I am interested to know other people's opinions on the new ABAP Editor and Debugger. I just started to use the new editor and I am kind of dissapointed:
- the code completion feature is a far cry from the Java editor. It shows only one element in the code completion list based on a strange rule (I think it is first in the alphabetical order, and then based on the previously selected item)
- it does not provide code completion for types
- the code completion stays on for a short period of time, after that it dissapears. Is there a key combination that can launch the code completion on demand?
Hello Tiberiu,
With the new Editor, you can launch the code completion with the combination "Ctrl + Space".
Regards,
Walter

Saving bookmarks in the new ABAP editor?
Hi experts,
either I'm stupid or something but I don't see how I can save my code boomarks for future usage. I mean the bookmarks which can be created by CTRL + ALT + number and navigation to them by CTRL + number.
The similar problem I have with saving my break-points set in the new ABAP editor.
Could you please give me a tip how I can save it I'm using SAP GUI 710 patch level 4.
Thanks in advance!

What are your thoughts on the new Mavericks upgrade?
I currently have Snow Leopard - just upgraded to that in the not so recent pass because needed to do that in order to be able to view photos with my new Canon camera. I did upgrade to the iTunes 11.0.1 when I saw the flashing popup list it as a software upgrade, even though all I use it for is to convert songs from Garage band to aiff files and to import podcasts from the internet. Thought I would need it possibly in the future. As long as it didn't mess me up with the above, I was okay with it. However, I did not like having to relearn how to handle playlists. As you can see I operate on what you probably would call an elementary, basic level and don't like things that would some how "mess up" what I have finally gotten used to. Is Mavericks going to be like Windows upgraded OS systems which always seem to drop support for older software it previously supported? I had hoped that going to Apple from Windows would save me from that for longer periods of time.
An additional problem I have just encountered is that suddenly I can no longer access my bank account online. Was told that the possible reason for this was that Apple has not kept up with upgrading its security, and, therefore, the bank would not consider it safe anymore. Thoughts?????? [I finally was able to work around this issue by downloading Firefox and using that successfully.]
Would appreciate any comments.you said it brother !!!
This ***** big time...
what was more natural that look for music with cover flow, the same way you look for LP in a store or CD at home. Steve Jobs shown that in a presentation !!!! IF I RECALL.
DOES THE NEW CEO USES APPLE PRODUCTS !!!
Steve will not be pleased with this monstrosity. -
"Auto completion" doesn't work in the new ABAP editor
Hi Gurus,
It is quite strange that the "auto completion" doesn't work for me in my new laptop. After I press "ENTER", it starts a new line.
Any body know this?
Thanks a lot.Hello,

- the code completion dissapears after a short period of time (why isn't the code completion triggered on a CTRL-key ?!)It appears that you are focusing on the code completion as the source of your disappointment. Let me brighten your day a bit by saying that the real code completion has not yet been shipped. In a future release of Netweaver, there will be full code completion very similar to what you have in the java area, where you will type a class name and get a list of methods to choose from. This functionality is not there in NetWeaver 7.0, but if you pay close attention when working in the editor you will see small pieces that will evolve into the full blown code completion. For example, in your editor type.....
at selection-screen o
After you typed the "o", there should have been a dropdown box with a bunch of suggestions to complete the statement. (This may not work depending on the gui, but it does in my system, NetWeaver 7.0 SP10, using Gui 7.10 Patch 1.
So again, you are right, the code completion is not really up to par, and never really claimed to be, but just wait, the real code completion is coming.

Can't activate new ABAP editor
Hi everyone !
We recently switched from SAPGUI 6.40 to 7.10. I tried to activate the new ABAP editor mode but when I do it, the current screen freezes and no more action is possible from this point. My co-workers don't have this problem.
Old editor works perfectly well.
I'm using Windows XP SP2 with IE6.
Does anybody have an idea ?Hi Peter,
No patch has been applied yet. I'll ask our admin to do it.
Thanks for your answer.

also did you try Installing MSXML 4.0 software as mentioned by Suresh Dareddy

New ABAP editor: problems with the paste function
Hi all,
for a few weeks, I am working with the new frontend editor now. It is great - however, there is a thing I don't understand using the paste function. Let's make an example:
i put the following lines into clipboard by highlighting the entire lines and pressing CTRL+C
select * from ztmk
where kunnr in s_kunnr.
after pasting (CTRL+C) it shows up like this:
select * from ztmk
where kunnr in s_kunnr.
Is it a bug or a feature?
Jörg Krause, GEZE GmbH, GermanyHi Rich,
sorry, I actually upgraded my GUI to 23, but the problem is not solved. Look at this code:
SELECT * FROM ztmk INTO TABLE lt_ztmk
WHERE messe IN s_messe AND
kunnr_berater IN s_kunnr AND
status IN s_statu AND
ersda IN s_ersda AND
NOT namecpl = space AND
country IN s_count AND
kontaktid IN s_kntid AND
lvorm in s_lvorm.
SELECT * FROM ztmk INTO TABLE lt_ztmk
WHERE messe IN s_messe AND
kunnr_berater IN s_kunnr AND
status IN s_statu AND
ersda IN s_ersda AND
NOT namecpl = space AND
COUNTRY IN s_count AND
kontaktid IN s_kntid AND
lvorm IN s_lvorm.
the lower select-statement has been pasted from the upper one
Thanks for answering!

Comment and uncomment in the new SE38 editor: Doing it the old way
Prerequisites: Front-end Editor (New)
The Front-End Editor is available with SAP GUI for Windows 6.40 Patch level 10 or higher.
Steps:
1) Open SE38(or SE24,SE37,SE80) and click on the icon below the scroll bar (the last one on the right-bottom) this will open Options dialog. Choose Keyboard from the tree. <a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/154/382643543_5732930f15_o.jpg">See the graphics</a>
2) From the Listbox under command choose Edit.LineComment
3) Shortcuts for selected commands will come prefilled as Ctrl + \
Place your cursor in "New Shortcut" textbox and press the old combination (Ctrl + <)
it may look as ( Ctrl + , ) instead of (Ctrl + <)
4) Click Asign
5) Now your new front-end editor will revert back to your old habit of commenting.
6) Repeate Step 3 for the command Edit.LineUncomment
you may want to map it to the old shortcut (Ctrl + >)
This changes will be local to your machine and NOT attached to the sap user. Behind the scene all the steps above will edit the file keymap.xml (keyboard schema file normally kept in C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\ab4_data\) So either copy this file if you move to a new machine or repeate these steps on the new machine.
While you may have seen features like auto complete, code collapse, key word coloring, but you may learn a thing or two (like something called template to create my own custom report header) in blog <a href="/people/thomas.jung3/blog/2005/08/03/new-abap-editor-too-good-to-wait-for ABAP Editor; too good to wait for.</a> by [url=https://weblogs.sdn.sap.com/pub/u/251694270]Thomas Jung[/url]Thanks dear,
