What is your favorite transaction and why?

Just wondering what your secret tools are... Willing to share? Transactions you use all the time, and without them you would be, uh, toast...

My favorite one is SE84 Repository Information System. I use it regularly to find objects in repository, like database tables, views, table fields, function groups, function modules, programs, logical databases, message classes, message number, SET/GET parameters, transactions, variants, screens, business add-ins, customer exits, change requests and authorizations.

A useful hint: You can also search by application hierarcy. For example, in 4.6c to find customer exits within MM, do as follows:

1. Start SE81

2. Select subtree MM with F9

3. Click Information system. SE84 is displayed.

4. Click Envir. and then Exit techniques and then Customer exits. Click enhancements. A search screen is displayed and development class field is pre-filled.

5. Press F8

What is your favorite transaction and why?

The following transactions are useful for ABAP Developers:

- /nex

- SE03 Transport Organizer Tools lets you do a whole lot of stuff from one place.

- SE38 ABAP Editor. I like this transaction as i can do anything i want to do.

- SE80 Object Navigator

- SE84 Repository Information System to find objects in repository.

clearly SE80.

Starting 4.7 you have a button on top of the tree navigation where you can click the information system.

So you have (at least) three transactions in one: SE80, se84(85 and SE38.

I wonder why still some people prefer SE38. It's just SE80 minus functionality and overview plus wasted screen space.

Is there any existing function you can execute from SE38 that is not available in SE38? A lot the other way round.

Hi,

Whatever the Tcode may be.. I always think there is no progress without '/h'. I also like the function module C160_transaction_call that lets in the backdoor to most Tcodes that I am not otherwise authorized...

P.S. Do you want to compile a list of funny/ironic Tcodes? start with 'SICK' that stands for System Initial Consistency Check !

Hi Suresh, the keyword <b>backdoor</b> caught my fancy i didnt hav permission for say SE81 and i tried calling C160_transaction_call but it gave me the same msg that i am not authorised so tell me the cheetsheet

Hi,

For me its:

SE38- To try out sample codes, and testing tits and bits.

SE11- To search a field name, a structure or a table to use for my tests

And finally - /nex Log off !!

The tcode is Se16n or just use N. this is coolest alternative to se16 se17 or se11.

Hi,

SE11 and SE38 are the basic important transactions for a abaper. I Think So.

Thanks,
