Creating and Editing a Selection List (SAP Library - BC Documentation of System Objects)

Creating and Editing a Selection List

Using a selection list for maintaining documentation enables you to:

work on a set of documents of a document class in context

select objects or documents according to their editing status:

Objects not requiring documentation
Undocumented objects
Raw version documents
Final version documents
All documents (documents in raw, final, or active version)

label undocumented objects as "not requiring documentation"

print a list of the documents or objects selected with administrative information

To edit a selection of documents, proceed as follows:

Choose the desired document class in the document class field using the Possible entries pushbutton or F4 .

Enter the object name generically by using the wildcard "*" on the right to represent any number of characters. (e.g. for messages you could enter the application area "XY" and the number "*").

If you want to list all the supplements for a data element, you must enter the character "*" in the name of the data element. You cannot enter "*" in the field for the supplement number.

Select the Change function. A dialog box for selecting the editing status of the objects appears.

In the dialog box, first select the editing status, or statuses, and then Continue. The object list is displayed on the screen.

Select the document you wish to edit from the displayed list by positioning the cursor on the element you require and activating the Select function or by double-clicking with the mouse on the appropriate line. You will then branch to the editor.

After you have finished editing the document, you can return to the list where you can select further objects for editing.
