ABAP Doc Parameter Type Description Generation

frankmueller9 — Wed, 03 Apr 2019 07:27:09 GMT

Hello,

I'm using CTRL+1 to generate the ABAP Doc of a method. Currently the following ABAP Doc will be generated.

"! <p class="shorttext synchronized" lang="en"></p>
"! 
"! @parameter iv_matnr | <p class="shorttext synchronized" lang="en"></p>
"! @parameter iv_werks | <p class="shorttext synchronized" lang="en"></p>
methods do_something
    IMPORTING
      iv_matnr TYPE matnr
      iv_werks TYPE werks_d.

Is there any way that the description of the parameters will be generated automatically from the dictionary like in SE80? So that it will look like this example? It is a huge effort to add the descriptions manually.

"! <p class="shorttext synchronized" lang="en"></p>
"! 
"! @parameter iv_matnr | <p class="shorttext synchronized" lang="en">Material Number</p>
"! @parameter iv_werks | <p class="shorttext synchronized" lang="en">Plant</p>
methods do_something
    IMPORTING
      iv_matnr TYPE matnr
      iv_werks TYPE werks_d.

Best regards

Frank

Hi Frank,

are you sure you need this? I suggest naming the variables differently, like iv_plant. Then you don't need to add redundant documentation and your code is more readable.

Best regards

Hi Benjamin,

thank you very much for your reply.

I need it for example to export the ABAP Doc as file as described in this blog.

Hi Thomas,

thank you very much for the information. This feature would save a lot of effort and would make the switch to ABAP in Eclipse easier. Is there a way that it will be implemented in a higher release?

Best regards

Frank
