Getting Started...
To start, create
an ABAP project. An ABAP project always represents one
system connection. TIP: To be able to
work in multiple ABAP systems in parallel, you only need to create one
additional ABAP project.
Open ABAP
development objects in your project using Ctrl + Shift
+ A.
or double-click the corresponding node in the ABAP project.
Browse the
contents of an ABAP system in the Project Explorer. The
root of an ABAP project contains a list of ABAP packages that are grouped
either under the favorites list (Favorite
Packages) or the System Library node.
You can find the development objects simply by expanding the package node.
Add ABAP
packages that are relevant for your work to
the list of favorites.
Use Link
with Editor whenever you change an object in the editor, this object will be selected in the
expanded Project Explorer tree.
Use the Outline
view
to display the structure of a development object.
Add a new ABAP
development object (for example: a new class) to a package
by selecting the package and using the context menu New
> ABAP Class
Working with the Editor
You can open
multiple development objects in multiple editor tabs.
Search for
references to your development object using the Where-Used function (Ctrl + Shift
+ G)
.
Open the Quick
Outline in the editor using Ctrl + O.
Navigate the
source code using F3 or Ctrl + Click.
To navigate
between editors, click the back or forward arrow key on
the toolbar.
To switch
between the class, its local types or its ABAP Unit test classes, use
the bottom tabs of the class editor.
Press F2 to display
the signature of a class or method.
Writing
ABAP Source Code
To change
the source simply start typing directly in the editor.
Use code
completion (Ctrl + Space) in the editor.
Insert source
code templates using code completion and then Shift + Enter.
Start the ABAP
language help with F1 in
the source code editor.
Format the
complete source code (Shift + F1) or a source
code block (Ctrl + Shift + F1) within the
editor.
Activate one or
multiple development objects using the corresponding icons in the toolbar.
Compare source
code objects, even across different ABAP systems,
using the Compare with function in the
context menu of the editor or Project Explorer.
Running ABAP Unit Tests
Run ABAP Unit
tests for one or multiple development objects using the
context menu Run As > ABAP Unit Testor
Ctrl+
Shift + F10 in the editor or Project Explorer
ABAP Unit test

Working
with ABAP Runtime Errors (ABAP Short Dumps)

error occurs in a program that you have started, the IDE will alert you to
an ABAP feed with a small window. However, you can also subscribe
