Interesting, anyhow you can try to use the Upload/Download function in ABAP Editor.

In SE38 Editor, use menupath: Utilities->More Utilities->Upload/Download->...

Download to download the program to a text file on presentation server and Upload to upload the code to a program.

Hai eshwar ! first of all thanks for your reply.

Actually my requirement is to create a program in ECC6 from a program existing in SAP 3.1 version . I dont know much about 3.1 version .The program is very complicated with number of nested includes .All the includes are standard includes .How to copy all the code with includes and subincludes ? Do I manually need to copy all the includes one by one or there is a simple way to do this ? Or is there any way to 'transport' program form 3.1 to ECC6 .Can anyone please help suggest some solution .

thank you

Srinivas,

It is always better to copy a program using SE80.

Hi,

It is so long that i have seen 3.1 screens and dont really remember if we have the edit functions in 3.1H version.

I doubt if you have any transporting layer between these two servers.

Maybe the simplest way would be to get any utility tool which can download programs with all includes and upload them as well.

goto transaction code se38. there u give the name of the program and click the copy button. it asks for the target name. Give another name and click copy. your whole code get copied to the target name.

You can then use your target program name.

Hi,

Go to ABAP editor - SE38.

Input the program name --> click on display button --> Ctrl+A --> paste where you require.

You can also download the program to local disk, on application toolbar of you can see a lownload to PC button, you can make use of it.

Thanks,

Sriram Ponna.
