Hi!

Anyone who know where I can download the new code editor,

Which is powerful,fully-customizable highlighting for pre-defined keywords,comments and strings and support modern code-editing functionality.

Many thanks,

Aries

You can download it. You need to have the lastest SAP gui patches for 6.40 as well as a WebAs 7.0 engine. You can test the editor out in prior releases using Thomas's code, but you must have all of the sap gui patches for 6.40.

/people/thomas.jung3/blog/2005/08/03/new-abap-editor-too-good-to-wait-for

I have converted Thomas's code to a cut/paste solution using only an ABAP report program. Just cut/paste this code in a report program. Yes, you still need the lasted gui 6.40 and newest patches.

report zrich_0002.

Looks like the WebAs 7.0 Sneak Preview has been released. You can download it in the Dowload Section of SDN under the WebAs.

Hi Rich,

WebAs 7.0 Sneak Preview seems too large, which is more than 1G. It is impossible to download. Do you have any idea? And what I used is the SAP R/3 system.

Hi Vijay,

I have checked this thread,

It seems there are some external editors.

Yep, you will need a good connection to pull it down, but not impossible.

Hi Rich,

Got it. And what I used is SAP R/3 system. Also I have to install this WebAs 7.0 or not? And after installation, where can I get the new code editor or it has been included in WebAs 7.0?

Regards,

Aries

Re: The New Code Editor

jonathanzhang2 — Tue, 20 Dec 2005 05:23:04 GMT

And what I used the SAP system is R/3 4.7, the frontend is SAP GUI 640, patch level 14.

Re: The New Code Editor

The Better Person Thomas he will be able to tell you.

You need some patches also along with WebAs 7.0

Re: The New Code Editor

Former Member — Tue, 20 Dec 2005 05:25:57 GMT

with 4.7 and patch level 14 it won't ..

you need 5.0 version.

jonathanzhang2 — Tue, 20 Dec 2005 05:31:02 GMT

Hi Vijay,

you mean ECC5.0? But it is not easy to upgrade from R/3 470 to ECC5.0. It will involve much efforts. At the moment,our company didn't consider to upgrate.

Is it possible to use new ABAP editor under R/3 470?

Regards,

Aries

Re: The New Code Editor

Former Member — Tue, 20 Dec 2005 05:38:28 GMT

with out ECS 5.0 it is not possible.

with R/3 4.7 it can't be done.

may be you should try some trail version.
