The New ABAP Editor

The Code Editor is an ActiveX control that can be used to replace the standard source code editor (based on an SAP TextEditor) for any SAP system that supports ActiveX embedding. The reason for the replacement is that the standard RTF control, which the SAP TextEditor is based on, is not optimized for working with line-based text (as source code) and does not support modern code-editing functionality.

SAP BAdI Introduction

BADI – Business Add Ins are enhancements to the standard version of the code of SAP. They can be inserted into the SAP system to accommodate user requirements too specific to be included in the standard delivery. Customers can find the possible enhancements (BADIs) in their SAP system in the Implementation Guide (IMG) and in the component hierarchy. BADI definitions are included in the IMG so that the customer can create suitable, company-specific implementations. SAP guarantees the upward compatibility of all Business Add-In interfaces. Release upgrades do not affect enhancement calls from within the standard software nor do they affect the validity of call interfaces.
