Attributes

When you create an ABAP/4 program, you must first specify the program attributes. Program attributes determine to which application (FI, CO, SD, etc.) a program belongs and the logical database to which it is linked. You must enter the program attributes so the R/3 System can process the program correctly.

• The attributes Type, Application and Development class are used to manage ABAP/4 programs.
  
• If you are in the reporting or ABAP/4 development function, you can generate a directory of ABAP/4 programs stored in the system. If you are in the reporting function, only ABAP/4 programs with type ‘1’ (reporting) are listed. You can also select the part of the directory you want to display.
  
• To generate an overview of programs in the system, select:
  
  • From the ABAP/4 Development Workbench:
    • ABAP/4 Editor, Utilities   Find program
      
  • From reporting:
    • Choose System Services Reporting Utilities Find program
