Documentation
Definition
String that is to replace the search string.
If you use the global replace function (that is, replacing in the whole include or program), the replacements are only made in the hit list in the first instance. The changes are transferred to the source code when you save the hit list.
The "Without confirmation" option replaces the search string with the replacement string from the current cursor position to the end of the hit list or source code.
The replacement string is always inserted as you entered it, regardless of whether the upper/lowercase option is selected. However, the changed lines are subsequently converted into uppercase according to the standard rules in ABAP.
The + and * characters are interpreted generically. Since generic characters are not allowed in a replacement, you must combine them with the escape symbol, that is #+, #* und ##.
If the replacement string has leading or trailing blanks, it has to be enclosed in special characters ( / - . , : ; ? ).
An empty replacement string is valid and deletes the search string. The empty replacement string is given as a pair of special symbols, for example // or --.
You can edit the search range further. The icon "Multiple Selection" on the search popup beside the the program or class name triggers a further popup with the components of the search range. Components are removed from the search range by removing their selection checkmark. New components can be added.
If you are searching within classes, the pushbutton "Inherited Objects" on the search range popup allows you to display all inherited components and to copy these into the search range. Here, the system only proposes components that are valid within the class to be searched through - that is, any components that are covered by a redefinition are not displayed.
