First I go to t code se38 -> Utilities -> Settings -> Abap Editor(tab)

But in Abap Editor(tab) there are several tabs. But in these tabs there no information about the tab(character) and there arent tab called Tab for se38 T code.

Regards.

Fernando,

i think it depends on your SAP version. Maybe on the one you are working with, is not possible.

Hello,

Actually Im working on a project with SAP ECC 5.0 and I checked on SE38 for tab size on preferences, and there isnt an option so as to fullfil what you need.

I have checked also on 4.0 and 6.0 and is not possible either.

Maybe is only available on 4.7, but I dont have the resourses to check it.

Anyways....Why do you need it??

Bye

Well actually I'm working in a mobile aplication. The code of the aplication must be transfered to the mobile device, and the size of the code is important. The abap editor does not put a tab character when you press the tab key, instead it puts spaces. For this razon it would be good to set the tab size. Thanks
