Documentation

Definition

Version number

Use

The versions of an object are numbered in sequence, in the order in which they were created.

If older versions are missing (lower numbers) this means that the system administrator has deleted them from the version database.

Special numbers are used for versions in the development database. Active versions are shown as 'Active' and revised versions as 'Modif'. Only some object types can have revised versions (for example, from the ABAP Dictionary).
