I have just come across the SAP reuse library (transaction SE83), but have never used it before. In the current system there are only a few functions documented, some of which are actually flagged as obsolete by SAP.
Most of these functions/classes are also relatively well-known to anyone that has worked in SAP for any length of time, for example ALV Grids, confirmations prompts, conversion routines etc.
Does SAP release updates/libraries separately to the reuse library? Does anyone use it on a regular basis, either to find SAP released objects or to document their own internal functions?
Reuse library is basically a repository for various function and classes that can be used. One of the main benefits is that it has a number of source code examples for these functions present. These examples are quite useful as these could be used as a base code and you don't have to start from scratch
