ABAP SearchLocate this document in the navigation structure

ABAP search describes all functions that are provided for performing a search in an ABAP system in all of the back end systems you work with.

The following functions are provided:

  • ABAP Source Search: Full text search inside the ABAP source code of the entire system.
  • ABAP Development Object Search: Search for development objects on the basis of the corresponding name.
    Note Alternatively, you can search for a development object using the shortcut Ctrl Shift A.
  • Where-Used Function: Find the usage of identifiers like:
    • Development objects that are displayed on the main level of the Project Browser like classes, interfaces, database tables, message class, and so on.
    • Sub-objects like members of a class, fields of a table, messages, and so on.
    • Other identifiers like local variables, parameters, macros, and so on.
Note In addition, Eclipse provides search functions that are not ABAP-specific, such as the Task Search, and so on. Use the ABAP search functions to detect ABAP content. The Eclipse file search results may be incomplete.
