Procedure
  1. Open the ABAP source with explicit or implicit enhancement options in the ABAP Editor.

    More information about how to create explicit enhancement options: Explicit Enhancement Options in ABAP Source Code.

  2. Switch to enhancement mode by using the Enhance pushbutton from the toolbar.
    Note

    To exit the enhance mode, choose the Display <-> Changepushbutton.

  3. Position your cursor on the explicit or implicit enhancement option and choose Enhancement Implementation   →Create Implementationfrom the context menu.

    The Select or Create Enhancement Implementation dialog box appears. You can choose an existing implementation or create a new one.

  4. If you choose to create a new enhancement implementation, an empty source code plug-in is automatically created. It has a unique ID and is displayed in the ABAP Editor below the enhancement option as follows:

    ENHANCEMENT id.

    ...

    ENDENHANCEMENT.

  5. Implement the enhancement between the ENHANCEMENT and ENDENHANCEMENT lines.

    A source code plug-in is assigned to exactly one enhancement option (the container) but an enhancement option can be enhanced through several source code plug-ins.

    Note

    Although source code plug-ins are displayed in the same source code as the respective enhancement options, they are stored in other include programs managed by the Enhancement Builder.
