Context

The contents of an ABAP project are usually displayed in the Project Explorer. The root of an ABAP project contains a list of ABAP packages that are itemized either under the favorites list (as Favorite Packages) or the System Library node. The System Library displays a structured list of all packages that are contained in a backend system corresponding to the ABAP project.

Tip

The structured listing of system packages enables access to all development objects by continually expanding the tree structure. This procedure is generally less suitable for searching for objects. The best way to find a particular development object is to use CTRL + Shift + A in connection with the activated Link with Editor. When the development object is then found, the corresponding position within the expanded project tree is displayed.
