Suggestion for new button in "Open ABAP Dev. Object"-Screen

Posted on Mar 12, 2014 at 10:58 AM 23 Views

Hi ADT developers,

I think that it would be great to have a button "Open in SAP GUI" in the screen "Open ABAP Development Object" (Ctrl + shift + A).

Or maybe a similar screen with the title "Open ABAP Development Object in SAP GUI".

Because often I open a development object in Eclipse editor with ctrl + shift + a only to right-click the source and click Open with / SAP GUI.

Best regards,

Dominik

    Hi Dominik,

    yesterday we discussed in our product owner round whether we can add actions to the items in the CTRL-SHIFT-A dialog. This would perfectly fit to your idea that we also offer the action 'Open in SAP GUI'. Another option could be 'Rename', 'Execute', 'Delete', 'Open with Data Preview'.

    Just for my interest. Why do you often navigate to the SAP GUI for objects that have a native editor in eclipse. Which functionality do you miss in eclipse?

    Regards,

    Thomas.

      Hi Thomas,

      great to read that 😊

      There are other cases, but the most time it is:

      • in programs:
        • text elements (like selection texts)
        • translation
      • in function modules, classes:
        • read old documentation and field descriptions if no abapdoc documentation is available (like in most parts of the SAP system)
        • write and translate old field descriptions for public methods and attributes to see them in eclipse editor (a problem that should be solved one day when we have 7.4)

      Best regards,

      Dominik

    I'd like a shortcut for the open in SAP GUI action ;)

    I normally use it, when eclipse gets confused with web dynpros
