SE80 - Object Navigator

se80 is a tool to develope and navigate programs and dd-obj.

SE80 Object Navigator - > means all the objects qill be available there.

in se80 in addition to viewing the objects related to programming and classess, there are more priviliges to view such as some other repositories suchas mime, object repository,object browser and all..

The 2 editors are se38 and se80 both have the abap editor in place. In se38 you can go create programs and view online reports and basically do all thedevelopmet of objects in this editor. In se80 ( object navigator) there are additional features such as creating packages,module pool , function group ,classes, programs ( where you can create ur programs) and BSP applications .

SE38, u will get more space in editor when u compare with the SE80 screen, the tree structure available will occupy more space so it will be eay for us to code.

If u want to do any special navigation then u can got to SE80, but there is no specific reason.

It depends on teh users convineince.

se80 is to navigate to every object .....

but everytime there is no need to navigate to several steps and go to abap editor.

So there certain transactions which takes us to directly to the objects such as SE38 for abapaeditor

SE37 for function module

SE93 for creating transaction codes...etc.

U can also traverse to se80 from SE38 itself using CtrlShiftF5.

SE 38 ->Abap Editor thru which we can create/modify the programs.

SE80 ->Object Navigator thru which we can navigate to many areas like message classes,Function modules,application areas,transactions, programs etc.

You can also create programs from SE80.

Only includes cannot be created. Use SE38 for those abaps.

SE80 is the object navigator where u can see all objects like reports , repository objects , packages , function group , BSP applications .

you also can create screens , menu and above objects from se80 transaction.

for creating tables and structures u need to use se11 transaction.

Hi,

SE80 - object navigator

SE38 - ABAP editor

in se80 you can see the organized or hierarchical arrangement of different objects....

using the list you can select your packages or program etc.....

in se38 you can write your report program....

you can see the created program in se80 later on....
