A second way to get the new ABAP editor in LSMW

In my previous blog ‘How to get the new ABAP editor in LSMW’ I described how a single enhancement enables the new ABAP editor in SAP’s LSMW. While that solution only takes one implicit enhancement spot, it has a few (minor) limitations. In this next blog I will describe another approach to enabling the new ABAP editor in LSMW. This new solution is slightly more invasive, but gives us much more flexibility.

How to get the new ABAP editor in LSMW

SAP LSM Workbench (LSMW) has for years been a much used tool for data migration into SAP. It is both loved and hated  While LSMW has had its last update in 2004 it remains a much used tool in this age of more modern toolsets such as SLT,  SAP DS and the like.

For many frequent and hard core users of LSMW a big nuisance is the old style ABAP editor. This old editor takes up alot of development time, especially in those ABAP-rich LSMW projects.

One night, bored and out of beer, I managed to develop a relatively simple enhancement that enables the new ABAP editor for LSMW.
