EDITOR-CALL FOR REPORT

Short Reference

Syntax

EDITOR-CALL FOR REPORT prog [DISPLAY-MODE].

Addition:

... DISPLAY-MODE

Effect

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. Otherwise you will get a corresponding status message.

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.

Note

This statement bypasses the authority checks that are performed when calling the ABAP editor via transaction code.

Addition

... DISPLAY-MODE

Effect

The ABAP editor starts by default in change-mode. The addition DISPLAY-MODE causes the ABAP editor to start in display-mode.
