SAP Data Viewer

SAP Data Viewer is a lightweight Windows application whose purpose is to help you analyze and view SAP Idoc file contents. It proves to be of great help especially if you are developing Idoc-interfaces for SAP.
The Idoc (Intermediate Document) files are actually SAP documents used for business transaction data transfers. They are similar to XML file format but they adopt a different syntax.

There’s no installation process included while deploying the program on your computer. You can run it by simply opening the executable file. Uninstalling the utility from your computer means deleting the files that you have grabbed from the Internet.

Simple looks

SAP Data Viewer sports a plain layout that doesn’t embed a lot of configuration settings. The GUI looks quite minimalistic and gives you the possibility to import files in the working environment using the built-in browse button or drag-and-drop support.

How it works

You can make SAP Data Viewer process empty fields and configure a set of features, such as adjust the text font, pick the character set, choose the default Idoc codepage, as well as manage the structure of the file by adding or removing entries.
Tests have shown that the utility processes files pretty quickly. It doesn’t eat up a lot of CPU and memory, so the overall performance of the computer is not affected.
