Searching Usages (Where-Used)
Context
You can investigate where a development object or element is used within an ABAP package.
You can execute the where-used search from the following positions:
- Project Explorer
- Outline
- Source code editor
- Another where-used result
Example
The following procedure describes how to search for the usage of a development object from the Project Explorer:
Procedure
- In the Project Explorer, select the relevant development object.
- From the context menu or the toolbar, choose
Get Where-Used List....
Results
The Search view is opened, and the relationships and usages of the development object and their elements are displayed.

To display the number of matches instead of a placeholder, expand the corresponding tree level.
From here you can run an ABAP unit test or another where-used search for a development object or an element.
