EDITOR-CALL FOR REPORT
Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54
Obsolete Syntax
EDITOR-CALL FOR REPORT prog [DISPLAY-MODE].
Addition
Effect
This statement starts the ABAP editor for the source text of the program specified in prog.
prog has to be a character-type data object, which contains the name of a program in capital letters that exists in the
Repository. If not, a message is displayed in the status line.
After starting the ABAP editor, it provides the full functionality, as if called from the ABAP-Workbench.
You can navigate forward to branch to other tools. After returning from the ABAP editor, the current program continues after the statement EDITOR-CALL.
Notes
- If an inactive version of the program exists, then this version is loaded.
- This statement skips the authorization checks triggered when using a transaction code to call ABAP Editor, however the editor still checks the development authorization of the user in question.
-
Do not use this method of calling ABAP Editor any longer. Instead, use official ABAP Workbench interfaces,
such as the function module RS_TOOL_ACCESS. If only the properties of the
editor control are needed, the GUI class CL_GUI_SOURCEEDIT or its subclass CL_GUI_ABAPEDIT is used.
Addition
... DISPLAY-MODE
Effect
In the default setting, the ABAP editor is started in change mode. The addition DISPLAY-MODE causes the ABAP editor to start in display mode.
Note
ABAP Editor is started in display mode but can be switched to change mode.
