MENU -> GOTO -> DOCUMENTATION...........

There you have an editor to provide the Functionality, Use...etc.

Write the documentation there...

Hi,

Either you can document using the INLINE comments, BLOCK comments that we generally put in.

If you want a langauge dependant documentation then use the menu option Goto->Documentation.

Using this option we can maintain the documentaiton in multiple langauges.

Hi,

In Your Program Goto Menu GoTo -> Documentation.

Your documentation template is a pre-defined one, providing the purpose, activities, selection-criteria etc. You can fill in the required details.

Hi,

good for selection screens:

when in the ABAP Editor, in edit mode, choose

Goto->Documentation.

This gives you a SAPscript-type screen with many headings. Enter the instructions that you want your end-user to see when they run the program. SAP supplies many different headings here, choose the ones relevant to your program.

Save and activate.

When you run your program, when you are at the selection screen, choose

Help->Application Help

and you see your user documentation!

I expect Sapscript experts can make this look even better, with links to other help topics etc.

Regards
