Outline View does not show elements when using Pragma

[SuhaSaha]

Hello,

i am using ADT 2.60.3 with ABAP 740(SP 12).

When i use the Pragma ##NO_TEXT with the CONSTANTS keyword, the constants are not displayed in the outline view.

If i remove the pragma, the outline view shows the constants again.

Same thing happens when i use ##NEEDED with global variables.

Not a big issue, but can be a hinderance when you have a big constant interface and want to navigate to a specific element

Hello Suhas,

I have the same behaviour as you.

But in my case I get a hint, that the pragma is not allowed at this point.

Hi Stefan,

What is the version of the ABAP you are using?

Tbh, ##NO_TEXT makes no sense with integer constants Did you try with character-like constants?

Anyway ##NEEDED with global variables works the same way. When you use it, the variables vanish from the outline view

Hello Suhas,

you are right, but it makes no difference in my case, I get the hint too:

I get also the hint with ##NEEDED pragma.

I work with ABAP 7.40 SP 13.

I get also the hint with ##NEEDED pragma.

The compiler warning doesn't make sense to me.

When i read the ABAP Documentation, it states & i quote,

Pragmas in front of the ":" of a chained statement apply to the whole chained statement.

Refer: ABAP Keyword Documentation

Why would the compiler complain about the positioning of the pragma before the ':'?
