Markers 

The system keeps a list of markers during your session. These markers provide a history of your navigation steps within the Repository Browser. You can use this list to return to a previous screen in your session. You can also use it to create a permanent marker that lasts beyond your current session.

To display the markers for your session, choose Goto ® Markers. If you double-click a marker, the system takes you to that location. There are three types of marker:

Initial marker

Defines the screen displayed when you choose Repository Browser from the ABAP Workbench initial screen. You can set the initial marker to any screen. The default initial marker is the Repository Browser initial screen.

Permanent markers

Identify markers that are retained between sessions. You can set up to 9 permanent markers.

Temporary markers

Identify markers from the current session. The system generates temporary markers automatically. You cannot create them yourself.

Markers are organized by development class, program, and function group.

Setting Permanent Markers

  1. Choose Goto ® Markers.

    2. The Markers dialog box appears:

The system moves the temporary marker into the Permanent markers category.

Defining a Different Initial Screen

  1. Open the list you want to use as initial screen.
  2. Choose Goto ® Markers.

    3. The system displays the Markers dialog.

  3. Select a list name from the Temporary Markers or the Permanent Markers.

The system replaces the Initial marker with the marker you selected.

You can always return to the initial screen of the Repository Browser by choosing Repository Browser from the Markers dialog.

Deleting a Marker

To delete a marker, select the marker and choose Delete. If you delete the Initial marker, the system returns the marker to the default Repository Browser: Initial Screen.
