I guess you're using the old backend ABAP Editor (SE80 etc.) for SAP GUI 6.40+

Mac is using SAP GUI for Java. Note 454939 states that this editor is not available for SAP GUI for Java.

Better use the latest development tools with latest features = Eclipse + ADT.

Hi saur_abh,

As Sandra mentioned please use the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) as described here.

Best regards,
