Automatic brackets in new editor

[Clemenss]

Hi all,

I really love the 'automatic brackets' feature of the new ABAP editor. Some years ago, it worked for () [] {} and <>. Then with a new version of SAP GUI, <> did not work any longer.

After lots of search, we found the <OpenClose> tags in some XML files in SapGui program directory in folder ab4data. We completed some of them with the missing &lt;&gt; - you can not use a < character, but must use xml alias & lt ;.

Well I found those files with openclose tags:

ABAP4_SPEC.XML  <OpenClose>()[]''``</OpenClose>
ABAP_SPEC.XML   <OpenClose>()[]''``||{}</OpenClose>
ACONT_SPEC.XML  <OpenClose>()[]&lt;&gt;''``</OpenClose>
BSP_SPEC.XML    <OpenClose>()[]&lt;&gt;''</OpenClose>
CC_SPEC.XML     <OpenClose>()[]{}&lt;&gt;''``</OpenClose>
COVAN_SPEC.XML  <OpenClose>()[]&lt;&gt;''``</OpenClose>
ECATT_SPEC.XML  <OpenClose>()[]&lt;&gt;''``</OpenClose>
GML_SPEC.XML    <OpenClose>()[]{}''""</OpenClose>
SFOTL_SPEC.XML  <OpenClose>()[]&lt;&gt;''``</OpenClose>
TXT_SPEC.XML    <OpenClose>()[]{}&lt;&gt;''</OpenClose>
XML_SPEC.XML    <OpenClose>()[]''&lt;&gt;</OpenClose>

Well, I'd like to know what all those files are good for and why they are not stored in a user directory. Changing a computer, I have to do all corrections again.

Regards,

Clemens
