Viewing the ABAP Type HierarchyLocate this document in the navigation structure

Context

You can open the ABAP Type Hierarchy view to display the inheritance tree of a selected ABAP class or interface.

Note In contrast to the corresponding quick view (Ctrl + T), you can look at the ABAP type hierarchy for a selected class or interface independently from the current editor content. The hierarchy of a class or interface is still displayed in the ABAP Type Hierarchy view even if the source editor has been closed, in the meantime.

Procedure

  1. Select either the name of the class in the currently opened ABAP source editor or the corresponding node in the Project Explorer.
  2. Open the context menu and then choose Open ABAP Type Hierarchy or press T.

    The ABAP Type Hierarchy view appears that displays the class hierarchy including the superclasses and subclasses.
