Documentation of Source Code

This setting offers the possibility to take over only defined parts of the source code in the documentation. For every object type can be defined individually whether...

• the entire coding

• only inline comments

• only marked coding/comments

• no coding/comments

...should be inserted.

Open

The functionality supports different programming languages in the SAP context:

• ABAP

• AMDP

• Data Definition Language (ABAP and HANA CDS)

• BIAL (Lumira)

• HANA Script (Table Functions, Calculation Views, Stored Procedures)

The text box at the bottom "Tag for marked coding/comments" is only relevant for the radio buttons "Only marked Coding/comments".
The entered value/text is valid for all object types for which the radio button is enabled.

Via the radio buttons the following 4 different options to export ABAP can be enabled:

1. Entire Coding
   This setting causes that every line of the source code will be exported.

2. Only inline comments
   The setting „Only inline comments“ entails that only inline comments (marked in ABAP by * or “) of the source code will be exported.

3. Only marked coding/comments
   If the setting „Only marked Coding/comments“ is chosen, all segments marked by the sign for comment integration in the source code are exported in the documentation. In the source code the segments must be marked as follows:

   1. A segment begins with <comment sign> and ends with </comment sign>

   2. The segment can enclose comments and coding

   3. The opening and closing of a segment with the comment sign must take place of course within comments.
      Sample: Comment sign is "docu"
      The report in ABAP editor (the opening and the closing of the segment is marked):

4. No coding/comments
