System Library

The System Library creates a structured list of all packages that are contained in a backend system corresponding to the ABAP project.

In an ABAP project, the System Library creates one of the project nodes directly underneath the root of a project tree.

The topmost level of a project tree generally consists of 2 entries:

• Favorite Packages
• System Library

An alphabetical listing of the top-level packages of a system forms the topmost level of the System Library. Top-level packages are characterized by the fact that they have no superpackage. Such packages can be root packages (structure packages), which create their own package hierarchy in each case, as well as HOME packages. Each of these package nodes contains either subpackages or development objects as subnodes.

The structured listing of system packages enables access to all development objects by continually expanding the tree structure. This procedure is generally less suitable for searching for objects. The best way to perform an object search is using CTRL + Shift + A in connection with the activated Link with Editor. When the development object is then found, the corresponding position within the expanded project tree is displayed.
