Choose the Advanced Search feature here on SDN.

Hi Craig,

I searched in that by restricting ABAP and article.It is showing 344 entries.But for him,only 57 entries.Could you please explain how to restrict further?

It looks like they searched under "How To Guides" which means it's just the different ways you search to try to get a better listing it's not a ABAP article specific listing which means then there most likely ins't a specific one.

Christine,

Hi Jayanthi,

This search looks in the SDN Library for Articles, How-to guides, and FAQs that are related to ABAP. I created the search manually.

If you copy and paste this url into your browser you should get the correct search results.

The articles can be found either from the Developer Area, https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/developerareas/abap.sdn?node=linkDnode6-3, or simply by searching using the search function in the top left of the navigation - simply search by name.

For example I did this search on the SDN Library:

https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/search.sdn?contenttype=url&query=easy reference to alv&selected=1&content=/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fSDN!2fiViews!2fWCM!2fcom.sap.sdn..wcm.search.search_adv%3Fprttheme%3DCSIN%26QueryString=Easy%20Reference%20to%20ALV%26SearchPluginName=sdn_library%26SelectedCustomProps=resourcetype(value=sdn_article_complex),resourcetype(value=sdn_product_definition),resourcetype(value=sdn_how-to_guide),resourcetype(value=sdn_presentation),resourcetype(value=sdn_faq),resourcetype(value=sdn_article),resourcetype(value=sdn_learning_map),resourcetype(value=sdn_case_study),resourcetype(value=sdn_workshop_material)

And the first hit was:

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/webas/abap/an easy reference for alv grid control.pdf

As for becoming a weblogger please check out this weblog for more info: /people/sap.user72/blog/2005/06/28/sdn-weblogs-making-it-easier

For posting articles this can be done by choosing "Submit Content" in the top right of the SDN website, https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/submitcontent.sdn

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I don't want to search the article by name.

I want all the technical articles in ABAP should be displayed in a window[for eg., In code sample,I am able to see all the ABAP code samples].

[Former Member]

Then just choose the ABAP Articles link from the ABAP developer area (right side menu)

https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/search.sdn?contenttype=url&content=/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3...

238 is the current number listed there.

[jayanthi_jayaraman]

Hi Craig,

Thanks again.

But it seems to contain all technical articles.I want only ABAP technical articles.

The articles are organized based on the information the authors give which means it's hard to get any more specific than that.

Weblogs are easier as you can choose by topic but the articles I'm afraid you'll have to work with what is there until we can convince SDN to make some more improvements
