Element Info is empty if cursor on declaration part

[Former Member]

Hello all,

i'm facing an annoying problem: if the cursor is placed (blue highlighted on a screenshot below) on a declaration part of a class, interface or instance variable, the "ABAP Element Info" window displays "Code element information is not available."

If the cursor is placed on the implementation part, the element info looks good:

Hi Gena,

I have the same issue in all my Eclipse installations - older and newer - and it was like this since the beginning, so I thought, this is so by design.

But I agree, that it would be better if this worked, it is a great way how to check if the ABAP Doc for method one is currently defining, is ok.

Have a nice day!

Hi Gena,

with AS ABAP 7.50 this pain is gone.

We also support element info on declaration level.

For older relases you only get element info on the implementation part.

Obligatory question: could you please provide a sap note backport for 7.40?

Thanks,

Hi Gena,

Obligatory answer: No 🙂

Unfortunately we did some bigger changes in the code analysis infrastructure in the ABAP kernel.

So a downport is too risky for 7.40 SP.

Sorry.

Thomas.
