New editor: no auto- angle bracket

Clemenss — Mon, 18 May 2009 17:19:09 GMT

Hi all,

after installing SAPGUI 710 patch level 10 the auto-completion for brackets only works for square brackets [] and normal brackets () but not any longer for angle brackets <>.

I already modified the xml scheme at C:\Programme\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui\ab4_data\xml_spec.xml

Parameter OpenClose is shown as ()[]''<>.

But it still does not work.

How to resolve?

TIA,

regards,

Clemens

Use the HTML code instead of the agnle bracket.


& l t ; & g t ;

Add this without space.

Hello Namesh,

thank you for the recommendation, but guess how I put the &LT; &GT; characters into the xml_spec.xml.

in the file, I wrote

<OpenClose>()[]''& lt;& gt;</OpenClose>

without the spaces between & and lt/gt.

As a result, it is displayed correctly when xml_spec.xml is opened in the IE browser.

But still, the function does not work in the new ABAP editor.

Please tell me if itv works for you, thank you.

Regards,

Clemens

I may award full points to mysel

The file responsible is in the user settings path

C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\re31472\ab4_data\abap_spec.xml

and the line to be modified is

Change it to

using the html representation & lt; without space for < and & gt; without space for >

Regarsd, Clemens

Sorry, I marked this answered yesterday:

With the new 700 SAPGUI and editor rollout they corrected one big shortcoming of the new editor: Before the user-specific settings were stored with thje local SAPGUI installation, now they are stored in the windows user settings directory.

In my case (german windows), I modified file abap4_spec.xml

in directory

C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\re31472\ab4_data

Note: You may find the same file in

C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\re31472\SapWorkDir\ab4_data

Here I did not apply the changes described in my preceding comment(s).

Sometimes questions about the quality assurance process wait for answers

P.S.: It is a good strategy to wait for a stable release and accept humiliation of missing features. Still it may be a valid strategy to find out how to use new features while it is anything but stable.
