Code Templates for ABAP Dictionary Objects

Since SAP NetWeaver 7.5 SP00, you can add code templates to structures in ABAP Development Tools (ADT).

As in the ABAP source code editor, you can add code snippets with specific syntax like a development object, annotation, or component at the current cursor position in the ABAP Dicitonary editor. After adding, you need to adapt the placeholders with variables, elements, lengths, decimals, and so on.

You can add code templates, for example, through code completion (Ctrl Space).

For structures, the following template types are provided:

• currencyKey: Currency and its Currency Key
• quantityUnit: Quantity and its unit
• searchHelp: Search help attachment
• foreignKey: Foreign key
• appendStructure: Append structure
• And so on
