How can we create Code Templates in SAP HANA Studio to Generate code Smartly?

Introduction

This Blog will help in saving Code Templates that you can use in any ABAP Program.

Code Templates can be used for the following

1. Generate ALV Grid of Report
2. Sending email to External Email
3. Upload File from Presentation Server.
4. Download File to Presentation Server
5. Upload File from Application Server.
6. Download File to Application Server
7. Flower Box

Above are a few examples. Please note that this concept is not eliminating creation of reusable Function Module and Class as this will also help then in using those Classes. I have saved a lot of time using this concept and it is a Hidden Treasure for ABAPers. One greatest advantage in SAP HANA Studio is that you can have some dynamic variables that helps us to create Dynamic Flower Box and other features you can think of.
