To automatically create comment blocks when creating a new program in SAP ABAP, you can define a template for your programs. Follow these steps to set up the template:
Open the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) in your SAP system.
Navigate to the ABAP Development Perspective.
Go to the Package Explorer view and find the package where you want to create the template.
Right-click on the package and select "New" → "Other ABAP Repository Object" from the context menu.
In the "New ABAP Repository Object" dialog, select "Program" and click "Next."
Fill in the necessary details such as the program name, description, and development class. Click "Finish."
The new program will open in the ABAP Editor. In the editor, define the comment block that you want to include in your template. For example:
abapCopy code*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*& Report Z_MY_REPORT
*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*& Description: This is my ABAP report template.
*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
Save the program.
Now, whenever you want to create a new program using this template, right-click on the package where you want to create the program and select "New" → "Other ABAP Repository Object."
In the "New ABAP Repository Object" dialog, select "Program" and click "Next."
In the "New Program" dialog, select the "Search" button next to the "Template" field.
In the "Select Template" dialog, navigate to the package where you defined the template and select the program. Click "OK."
The program name and description fields will be automatically filled with the values from the template. Click "Finish" to create the new program.
The new program will be created with the predefined comment block from the template. You can customize the template further by including additional placeholders or predefined code snippets.
Note that the steps provided here may vary slightly depending on your specific SAP system and version.
