How to modify custom pattern?

[vinod_vemuru2]

Hi Frdz,

Can any one tell me how to change the pattern that we use while creating new objects.

eg: ZZMODLOG- When we call this pattern it will give one template of commented text like TR number, User ID, Date etc.

If i want to modify this where does the code exist for this?

I tried in this path but of no use.

SE38->Enterinto some program->utilities->more utilities->Edit

pattern->Change pattern

Here it is showing some thing like *$&$MUSTER(commented).

Please guide me to solve this problem.

Thanks,

Vinod.

Via transaction SE37, open Function Module: ZZMODLOG_EDITOR_EXIT and do your modifications.

This is nothing but dynamic pattern.

Here is an example of making a dynamic pattern in SAP. This is quite useful for standard headers in your code.

First you have to create a pattern which contains only one line:

*$&$MUSTER

Then create a function module with the name of the pattern followed by '_editor_exit'

Then add a tables parameter.

parameter name: BUFFER

type spec.: LIKE

reference type: ABAPSOURCE

In the source you can add anything you like tot the buffer table, upon executing the pattern in your ABAP, it copies everything you put in it.

This is the result of the pattern I use:
