How to create Include programs in the ABAP editor

Matthew Billingham

Published: 18 Aug 2008

How can I create INCLUDE programs in the ABAP editor? I want to create an INCLUDE program for screen design. Pleaseclet me know how to create those individual INCLUDE programs for PBO&PAI in the flow logic.

When you create a screen (using, for example SE80), this automatically gives you flow logic, which you can edit in the ABAP editor. This flow logic is not held in Includes -- it is part of the screen object. To create modules in Includes, it is simplest to name the module in the flow logic, and double click on its name. You'll then be prompted to create a new include or use an existing one.
