Hi.

Why do you want to hide the code? Is there really a business requirement for this?

I'm not aware of any way to achive this.

Best regards,

Hi.

One thing I would like to add. Security by obscurity is a bad idea at all. By trying to hide your source code you may make it a little bit harder for an attacker but you will not keep him outside. If your original security design is based on the idea that no one knows the implementation you most likely have an issue with your design.

Hi,

U can avoid ur source code for editing from others by enabling EDITOR lock the attributes..

Or else create a transaction code for ur report program so dat others may not see ur source code.

But i dont think u can hide ur source code.

Hi ,

I am not aware of such a feature .

You can prevent others from editing your program by setting the Edit Lock Check box in the attributes of the report.

Hi

Refer this code

This program hides any ABAP's source code and protects it with a password. One can still run the ABAP (the load version is intact) but it can not be displayed, edited, traced, transported or generated. If the ABAP is not hidden, the program hides it. If it is hidden, it unhides it. The password is hard-coded in a source code, so the first candidate to be hidden should be ZHIDE itself.

PROGRAM ZHIDE NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING.

U can use the exit EXIT_SAPLS38E_001 to hide ur code.

Within this write :

if PROGRAM = '<Your program name>'.

raise cancelled.

endif.

Now nobody can display or change the code.
