Useful ABAP Packages for Demo programs
Hi everyone,
As a developer, whenever we have to work with a new object, to grab the new concept, we may:
– Read about it on http://help.sap.com/nw_platform#section6
– Browse through different blog posts/documents on SCN
– Simply Google it
Another way I tend to do is to find the demo programs for that object in SAP. This is very useful as we have chance to see how the object works in action, and at the same time follow standard development practices from SAP.
So in this blog post, I will share the packages that I found very useful for object demoing purposes. Hope it is useful to you and if you know of any packages, feel free to add it in the comment so that we all have more knowledge. You may want to browse through the package from SE80 to find the demo of the concept you want to know about.

Hello Horst,
Is the ABAP 740 online documentation "released" or is it "work-in-progress"? 😉
BR,
Suhas
Took a snapshot of the work for SP05. Almost everything in there is released with SP02. Only two things mentioned in the docu are not yet available with SP02: MOVE-CORRESPONDING for itab and ABAP Push Channels. Sorry for that, should've taken a real SP02-version. In a 7.40-system, the online docu is OK.
I don't see the BC* packages in our system.
Thanks Nguyen Van Thao. How to find BC* packages from se80, not able to find in my system.
Hi Brian and Vinoth Kumar,
I'm currently look at BC* package on IDES system, Netweaver 7.3. The software component for BC* packages is TRAINING, I'm not sure whether they are available at other systems or not. Sorry about that. Thanks.
Thanks Nguyen, for sharing this. Though I am unable to BC* packages in my system.
