Creating a Program 

Procedure

...

       1.      There are three options to create a program in the Repository Browser:

                            a.      In the navigation area, choose the object type Program and enter the name of the program in the input field below. Confirm with Enter. If the program does not exist, the system displays a dialog that allows you to create a program.

                            b.      Display the package where you want to create the program. You can access the dialog for creating a program from the context menu for the package (Create ® Program) or the Programs node.

                            c.      Choose the button Edit Object on the initial screen of the Object Navigator. On the Program tab page, choose Continue.

You can use steps 1a and 1b to create any type of object in the Repository Browser.

       2.      If you want to create an Executable Program (Report), deselect the option With TOP Include. If you want to create a Module Pool, choose this option.

       3.      Choose Enter to continue.

       4.      If you have selected the option With TOP Include, a dialog box appears in which you should enter a name for the TOP include. 

       5.      Choose Enter to continue.

A dialog box appears in which you can set other program attributes. For more information on each of the attributes, see also Maintaining Program Attributes.

       6.      Enter the program attributes and choose Save.

The system displays the Create Object Catalog Entry dialog box.

       7.      Assign a package to the program.

       8.      Choose Save to confirm your entries.

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 Repository in an inactive version and is available in the ABAP Editor. When you assign a program to a development class, it will be automatically linked to the transport and correction system.

Alternatively, you can create a program from the initial screen of the ABAP Editor (Transaction SE38).
