abap-db-browser
An SAP GUI program for browsing tables, views, CDS views, custom queries and joins, installed with abapGit together with two other repositories from the same maintainer and needing ABAP 7.50.
One SAP GUI program for reading what a system holds: tables, views, CDS views, custom queries and joins, reached from the selection screen that is the only screenshot the README carries. The README itself is four short sections; the documentation lives on the maintainer's own site, filed under its SAP GUI projects, so what each object type looks like in the browser is there rather than here. It installs with abapGitabapGitA Git client written in ABAP that runs inside the system, so objects are cloned, pulled and pushed without leaving it; with no package manager in ABAP, a cloned repository is how code is distributed.community org, abap and needs two other repositories from the same maintainer, abap-search-toolsabap-search-toolsThe ADT backend the separate ABAP Search and Analysis Tools Eclipse plugin needs, installed in the ABAP system.independent, abap and abap-ui-toolboxabap-ui-toolboxA collection of ABAP classes for classic SAP GUI development: an enhanced, editable ALV grid, a single-container screen framework, and a tree wrapper.independent, abap, which the README lists under Dependencies without saying what each one contributes.

Conditions
PracticalFunctional boundary
A system below ABAP 7.50: some of the classes it uses are only available from 7.50, and the maintainer states that downward compatibility to 7.40 in a single branch is currently not possible without resorting to dynamic programming.
