getObjectSource
Read ABAP source from an ADT URL. For large objects, use search with context or specify a line range to avoid truncation.
Instructions
Reads ABAP source. For LARGE objects do NOT read it whole: use search (grep with line numbers + context) to locate statements, or startLine/endLine to read a window. Without those, a very large source is truncated (head only) with totalLines and a hint. Line numbers in the output are display-only — do not include the "NNN: " prefix in editObjectSource.oldString.

| startLine | No | First line to return (1-based) when reading a window. | |
| connection | No | Optional: SAP connection name to use for THIS call only (overrides the active connection; see listConnections). Immune to server restarts and concurrent switches. | |
| ignoreCase | No | Case-insensitive search (default true). | |
