Line commands in ABAP Editor
Tip-No.: 54

Symptom

With certain line commands (I.R), parts of the line numbers are
unintentionally interpreted as repeat factors.
Example:
- insert command: enter "i"
- repeat command: enter "r"

If the above commands are written in the 6-digit line number field,
then "i" is not interpreted as "i1" if the digit directly to the
right of "i" is not equal to zero. The same is valid for "r".

Cause

The insert line command "i" causes empty lines to be
inserted. "i0" has the same affect as "i1". The editor does not@@*
differentiate whether the digit to the right of "i" remains unchanged
from the line numbering or whether it was overwritten by the user.
This is also the case in R/2, and it was not changed in R/3.

The same is valid for "r".

Solution

If you only want to add one line,
enter "i1" explicitly

or enter
- "i" in a column with line numbering in which the digit 0 follows.

Use the same procedure for "r".
