ABAP Source Code EditorLocate this document in the navigation structure

The ABAP source code editor is provided for developing or editing ABAP source code in Eclipse.

The ABAP source code editor corresponds to the ABAP editors in SAP GUI, such as the Program Editor (SE38), Function Builder (SE37), and the source code-based Class Builder (SE24).

It is based on the Eclipse standard text editor and its functionalities have been broadened for programming ABAP source code.

You can open an editor, for example, by double-clicking a development object from the tree in the Project Explorer or from a search result list. If no editor is integrated for ADT, the SAP GUI is opened.
