Hi,

A development class is nothing more than a organizational unit. Objects are organized by developement classes and these development classes are tied to transport layers. This defines that when you create an object under a certain developement class, that object may or may not be transported. It depends on how the development class is defined. In newer version, development classes go away and the "Package" is implemented, in Netweaver , the package heirarchy is introduced which allows you to better organize the developement objects.

Development class is also called as package.Previously they called it as development class.But now we call it as package.

Related objects in the ABAP Workbench are grouped together in a package.

The packages are entered in the table TDEVC. They can be maintained in the following transactions:

Transaction SE80 -> Enter package -> Double-click the package

Transaction SM30 - Table/view name V_TDEVC

When an ABAP Workbench object is created, the system prompts you to assign it to a package. The package should describe the area that the object belongs to.

This area is identified by the naming of the package.

Package begins with A-S or U-X

Package begins with Y or Z

Package begins with T (private test package)

Package begins with $ (local package)

Package begins with a namespace prefix

hi ashok,

Actually upto 4.6C ,we used call <b>Development class</b>.

from 4.7 ,5.0,6.0 version onwards we used call <b>package</b>

Development class means the group of related objects in SAP

for example all th objects related Sales module are grouped together under a package called ZSD, when you assign a package a request is created which is used to tranport the object to other systems.

You can create any number of fields in a table.

Package is a place where we can group our objects.For eg we can create our own package ZMM -to store MM related objects.ZSD -to store SD Related objects...

so Development class is called as Package from release 4.7e onwards.

REWARD IF USEFUL....

In one word it is "Package".
