Considerable improvements have been made to the performance of the

by the full text search are now marked in the display. As before, the
full text search can be called from the display window of the

documentation ( ABAP Editor , transaction ABAPHELP ) as an
alternative to the index search.
ABAP_MODIFICATION_2 Subject search
The ABAP keyword documentation has been extended by the addition of an
alphabetical subject directory . The index
search now evaluates this directory in addition to the
ABAP index and ABAP
glossary .
ABAP_MODIFICATION_3 Diagrams
Through access to the MIME repository, diagrams can now be
displayed in the ABAP keyword documentation.
For example: General memory organization
.
ABAP_MODIFICATION_4 Language
It is now possible to select the language in which the documentation
is displayed on the initial screen of the transaction
ABAPHELP . The user can choose between the logon language,
English, and German. The logon language is the standard setting. When
the ABAP keyword documentation is called from the ABAP Editor, the logon
language is always used.
ABAP_MODIFICATION_5 List of ABAP words
The document ABAP words contains a list of all
names reserved in ABAP, except for those that consist of special
characters. From this list, the user can navigate directly to the usage
locations.
ABAP_MODIFICATION_6
Terminology change for narrowing and widening
casts
The use of the terms narrowing cast
and widening cast , which refers to the
view that a reference variable offers to an object, has been adjusted to
the general language usage from the view of the value set that can
include a variable. Now the unambiguous terms
Up Cast and Down Cast are in general
use.
ABAP_MODIFICATION_7 Adjustment of font size
If the font size is changed when adjusting the local
layout in the SAP GUI , this also takes effect for the
display of the ABAP keyword documentation. Previously, only changes in
color affected the ABAP keyword documentation. Within a user session,
the GUI font size dependency can be deactivated by setting the
standard font size .
