Hello,
NB: this is a question I had, and could solve it so I don't need help, but I'm also posting the answer so it may help future visitors.
I can't find a solution to open a Subroutine Pool inside the Eclipse ABAP editor.
First thing I notice is that a Subroutine Pool is shown as being an Include !?
If I double-click the program, I get this error: "Editor cannot load [<system ID>] <program name> (Include)."
After pressing OK, a tab is opened with a follow-up error: "The editor can not be shown because the content can not be synchronized with the backend."
Of course, I can open it via SAP GUI:
But my question is:
How is it possible to open a subroutine pool via the Eclipse ABAP editor?
Thank you!
Sandra
I'm using:
- Eclipse IDE for Java Developers Version: 2022-12
- ABAP Development Tools Version: 1.146.0
- ABAP Backend version 7.57
- SAP Managed Tags:
The only workaround I could find is the following.
Instead of double-clicking the program to open it, do as follows:
- Click the program name once > Copy its name (Ctrl+C or right-click > copy)
- Open the dialog to open any ABAP object (Ctrl+Shift+A, or the menu Navigate > Open ABAP Development Object, or the equivalent button in the bar of icons)
- Paste (Ctrl+V or right-click > paste - Notice that here it's identified as a Program and not as an Include) and Enter
The subroutine pool now successfully opens via the Eclipse ADT editor:
