Defining the ABAP Language Version of ABAP Programs and Classes

As of SAP NetWeaver 7.5 SP01, you can determine the language scope and syntax rules of an ABAP program or class for specifying the language elements and repository objects that can be used. You can also determine which syntax rules have to be applied.

   • ABAP for Key Users: in the SAP WebIDE
   • ABAP for Cloud Development: against an ABAP system that is released for SAP's cloud products
   • Unicode Program (Standard): against a standard ABAP system
3. Save your changes.
4. Activate the development object.
