EDITOR-CALL FOR REPORT

Short Reference
• EDITOR-CALL FOR REPORT ABAP Statement

ABAP Syntax(Obsolete)EDITOR-CALL FOR REPORT prog [DISPLAY-MODE].

ABAP Addition
... DISPLAY-MODE

What does it do? This statement starts the ABAP editor for the source text of the program specified in prog. prog has to be a character-type data object, which contains the name of a program in capital letters that exists in the Repository . If not, a message is displayed in the status line.

After starting the ABAP editor, it provides the full functionality, as if called from the ABAP-Workbench. You can navigate forward to branch to other tools. After returning from the ABAP editor, the current program continues after the statement EDITOR-CALL.

Latest notes:If an inactive version of the program exists, then this version is loaded. This statement skips the authorization checks triggered when using a transaction code to call ABAP Editor, however the editor still checks the development authorization of the user in question. Do not use this method of calling ABAP Editor any longer. Instead, use official ABAP Workbench interfaces, such as the function module RS_TOOL_ACCESS. If only the properties of the editor control are needed, the GUI class CL_GUI_SOURCEEDIT or its subclass CL_GUI_ABAPEDIT is used.
