Open Objects

Open any ABAP object from your connected SAP system directly in the VS Code editor for viewing and editing.

How to Open an Object

Option 1 — Search command (recommended)

1. Press Ctrl+Shift+P to open the Command Palette.
2. Run ABAP FS: Search for object.
3. Type part of the object name and select it from the list.

Option 2 — File Explorer

• Expand your SAP system in the Explorer panel (Ctrl+Shift+E) and double-click any object.

Option 3 — Ask Copilot

• In the Copilot chat, type: "Open ZCL_MY_CLASS" — the object opens automatically.

What You Get

Once open, the object behaves like any other file in VS Code:

• Syntax highlighting for ABAP
• Full editing with save and activation support
• Navigation via breadcrumbs and Go to Definition (F12)
• Visible in the Explorer and in Open Editors
