Getting ABAP's version no. programatically

[Former Member]

Hello,

I received the new version of <b>ABAP Objects</b> today. I'm a complete rookie when it comes to SAP, and I'm trying to get on my feet because I just started a new job.

Long story made short: I see some differences between the screenshots in the book and the SAP environment we have at work. For example: The ABAP editor shown in the book has [+] and [-], for collapsing/expanding methods, which my editor doesn't show.

How can I find out ABAP's version number from code? Or maybe even the SAP GUI?

Has ABAP changed a lot in the last couple of years?

I hope I don't have to go and buy the old version because of incompatibility issues.

Best regards,

Robert

Hi,

You can get version info from the menu option System->Status on any SAP screen.

Click on the Detail(Lense) icon there to know more about the installed components.

The sytem variable SY-SAPRL gives you the Release status of the SAP System, for example 30D, 46A.
