Note

You can also create an offline version of the ABAP keyword documentation on your frontend.
The entire keyword documentation (including navigation structure) will be downloaded in HTML format into a directory on your PC. This takes between 10 and 20 minutes. You can then open the file BASIC.HTM. The offline documentation only supports links to other topics that were also included in the download, but it can be used independently of the SAP System.
