GUI Screen Painter is the tool in which you can design your screen in se51 transaction.

The other screen painter is the Alphanumeric screen painter which is not so user friendly.

I only know of one abap editor that is the one we see in se38.

Hi ,

here you go with the answers...

1) GUI screen painter is nothing but the place where you design your screen . you provide fields, table controls, tab strips , boxes depending on your requirement . according to my knowledge there is only one type of screen painter available with SAP that is SE51.

2) ABAP Editors ( SE38 ) . there are two types ( OLD editor and NEW ABAP Editor ) but according to the functionality they work the same . In NEW ABAP editor you have some facilities like , spell check and syntax checks are readily available ....

Hope this information clears your doubts .

Reward points for every helpful answer !!

Thanks

Hi,

There are 2 types of Screen Painters - Graphical mode and Alphanumeric mode. In Graphical mode, the screen looks like selection screen with all the available control objects (icons) to design the layout. In Alphanumeric mode the screen do not look like selection screen and the design of the layout will be done by navigating through menu.

Abap/4 editors - Line editor and Command mode editor.

thanks,
