EDITOR-CALL FOR REPORT
Short Reference
ABAP Syntax(Obsolete) EDITOR-CALL FOR REPORT prog [DISPLAY-MODE].
ABAP_ADDITION:
... DISPLAY-MODE
What does it do? This statement starts the ABAP editor for the source text
of the program specified in prog . prog has to be a
character-type data object, which contains the name of a program in
capital letters that exists in the Repository
. If not, a message is displayed in the status line.
After starting the ABAP editor, it provides the full functionality, as
if called from the ABAP-Workbench. You can navigate forward to branch to
other tools. After returning from the ABAP editor, the current program
continues after the statement EDITOR-CALL .
Latest notes: If an inactive version of the program exists, then this
version is loaded.
This statement skips the authorization checks triggered when using a
transaction code to call ABAP Editor, however the editor still checks
the development authorization of the user in question.
Do not use this method of calling ABAP Editor any longer. Instead, use
official ABAP Workbench interfaces, such as the function module
RS_TOOL_ACCESS . If only the
properties of the editor control are needed, the GUI class
CL_GUI_SOURCEEDIT or its subclass
CL_GUI_ABAPEDIT is used.
ABAP_ADDITION ... DISPLAY-MODE
What does it do? In the default setting, the ABAP editor is started in
change mode. The addition DISPLAY-MODE causes the ABAP editor to
start in display mode.
Latest notes: ABAP Editor is started in display mode but can be switched
to change mode.
