Prerequisites
This description assumes that you are creating a new ABAP program in the Object Navigator. It is also based on the most general case, and you can use it even if there is not yet a Programs node in your object list.
You can also use the Create function from the context menu of the object node. See also:
Procedure
Note that all programs objects in the customer namespace begin with Y or Z.
The system then displays the Create Program dialog box.
Another dialog box appears in which you must set other program attributes.
For more information on each of the attributes, see also
Maintaining Program Attributes.The system then displays the Create Object Catalog Entry dialog box.
The program is added to the object list of the assigned package and is displayed under the Programs object node. The system starts the ABAP editor and the program is displayed in change mode.
Result
The program was created in the R/3 Repository in an inactive version and is available in the ABAP editor. When you assign a program to a development class, it is automatically linked to the transport and correction system.
Alternatively, you can create a program from the initial screen of the ABAP editor (transaction SE38).
