Modification 1

ABAP Doc

Special ABAP Doc comments can be entered in front of declaration statements. These comments are prefixed by "!. An ABAP development environment that supports ABAP Doc, such as ABAP Development Tools, analyzes the content of ABAP Doc comments, converts it to HTML and displays the content in an appropriate way.

Modification 2

Authorization Check in CALL TRANSACTION

The new additions WITH AUTHORITY-CHECK and WITHOUT AUTHORITY-CHECK make it possible to perform or skip an authorization check when executing the statement CALL TRANSACTION. This makes the statement CALL TRANSACTION obsolete if neither of these additions are specified.

Modification 3

Enhancement to RTTI

The attribute METHODS of the object description class CL_ABAP_OBJECTDESCR has a new component, IS_RAISING_EXCPS, which can be used to determine whether the exception of a method is class-based. Also, the tabular component EXCEPTIONS the new component IS_RESUMABLE, which can be used to determine whether a class-based exception can be propagated as a resumable exception.
