The CTRL + SPACE bug in ABAP Editor

developerone — Fri, 03 May 2019 21:58:03 GMT

Hello,

I do not use the pattern button to call a function module instead I type CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS... and click CTRL+SPACE for the suggestions. I choose from the suggestions and the function module skeleton gets printed on the editor.

The problem is it repeats the first character at the beginning of the function module name.

Now once I press CTRL + SPACE, see how an extra 'S' gets added before the SCMS_BASE64_DECODE_STR.

This causes a short dump in the program when you unit test it.

I'm not sure if this has been already addressed but couldn't find anything related to this in the suggestions/discussions.

Version Information:

SAP_ABA7500007SAPK-75007 IN SAPABA Cross-Application Component

Just doing what everyone does when they feel something's not right. Tagging Jedi horst.keller.

Cheers,
Sai

Especially since you are on a recent version of ABAP, you should really consider using Eclipse with ADT. If you raise this directly with SAP, you are going to get a response that the SAP Gui ABAP editor is no longer under development and further changes are not being made.

Please search patches in SAP support's website.
