Adding new template in the ABAP editor

The editor has a very useful time saving feature that allows insertion of templates based on key words. Say you want to write a procedure HELLO_WORLD. For this you would write a form

**********************************************************************
* Perform HELLO_WORLD
**********************************************************************
PERFORM HELLO_WORLD.
PERFORM.

That’s writing 5 lines of code by hand. To automate this part go to the ABAP editor settings

then Code Templates

and enter template for perform with this

**********************************************************************
* Perform %Variable name%
**********************************************************************
PERFORM |%Variable name%.
%SurroundedText%
PERFORM.

In the editor when you write PERFORM and hit a tab once the template key highlight comes up you should get a pop up for your variable

This will write the code as above
