Back-End Editor 

Use

You use the Back-End Editor to edit ABAP source code as well as any development objects based on the ABAP Editor.

The editor is line-based, which means that it presents only a single line for editing at a time. In order to use editor functions such as cut, copy, and paste, you must first select a block of lines.

The Business Object Repository Editor is available only with the Back-End Editor.
