SAP Note 23995 - Cut and Paste in the SAPScript Editor

Symptom:

How can the automatic formatting in the SAPscript editor be suppressed?
Problem: If you use Cut and Paste to copy a text where line breaks are important (for example: ABAP/4 source code), these line breaks are distorted by the automatic formatting, and the text becomes illegible.

Cause and prerequisites

The automatic formatting feature in the editor is user-friendly, but it can unfortunately be counterproductive in some cases.

Solution
A workaround does exist: upload the file. Here, "/" is automatically set by the editor for every line.
If you really want to use the Cut & Paste feature, you must first provide every line with a "/" (for line break) by pressing F6 as often as required and then transfer the text. You can make life easier for yourself by first generating several lines with "/", and then duplicating these lines with the help of the SAPscript Editor: mark the beginning and the end by double-clicking, press "Copy" and then "Paste" often as required.
As of Release the Cut&Paste feature in the new SAPsript editor is supported like a computer editor.
