Creating a New Program

  1. The dialog box Create Program appears, which allows you to create a TOP INCL (top include program).

    2. You need top include programs when programming module pools. In this case, you must adhere to the naming conventions for module pools to enable the system to create all required include programs under their correct names.

    When programming stand-alone programs (reports), you need no top include program.

  2. You can enter the program attributes on the ABAP: Program Attributes screen.

    3. Maintaining the program attributes is an important procedure when creating a program. Fill in the input fields of the ABAP: Program Attributes screen carefully. The Maintaining Program Attributes section contains an overview of the input fields.

  3. Save the program attributes.

    4. The program is now stored in the R/3 Repository and you can maintain the source code in the ABAP Editor by following, for example, the procedure explained in Displaying or Changing an Existing Program , using the Repository Browser.

    Or you can go to the ABAP Editor directly by choosing Source code on the ABAP: Program Attributes screen.

  4. You can edit the program in the ABAP Editor.
