Overview of Former Editor Modes
Purpose
You can use all modes of the ABAP Editor to write and edit ABAP programs, class methods, function modules, screen flow logic, type groups, and logical databases.
We recommend that you use the newest version of the editor. For more information, see Front-End Editor (Source Code Mode).
Features
The former modes of the ABAP Editor are:
· Front-End Editor (plain text mode)
· Back-End Editor (line-based mode)
All editor modes are fully compatible and interchangeable. Source code created using one mode is properly displayed by the system in all other modes.
