Code completion missing for built in functions

Hey there!

Does anyone else experience, that built-in functions do not appear in Code completion (neither SE80 nor eclipse/ ADT)?

For example:

  • count
  • count_any_of
  • abs
  • strlen
  • to_upper

Why are they missing?

Is it working for someone?

/edit: I requested an improvement

Very good question. AFAIK the built-in functions have never been part of any code completion. Seems a missing feature.

Thanks christian.guenter

I wondered so often that these functions did not appear and today I decided to ask...

It's hard to "accept" your answer... 😄
