search a specific value in different programs

Former Member — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 14:37:40 GMT

Hi,

I have a specific value and I want to know in which program(s) this value is used. I don't know if this value is in a parameter or a select-options or a constant or ... So I want to check every program and find if a program use my value.

Maybe is there a transaction code that could do that ? If not, I need to create a program. So is there a function module which could read a program and find if a value is used ?

Thanks in advance for your help. If I'm not clear enough, I will enjoy to explain my problem with more details...

Do you need to check for a specific value, like for example 42, or do you need to check for the variable usage in different programs?

I will be more precise.

For example, my value is ABCD and I want to have a liste of programs in which ABCD is used.

ABCD could be a value for a constant, a parameter, a select-options, etc. like this :

First example :

PARAMETERS : p_parameter LIKE mara-matnr.

...

p_parameter = 'ABCD'.

Second example :

SELECT-OPTIONS : s_select FOR mara-matnr.

...

s_select = 'ABCD'.

Third example :

CONSTANTS : c_constant TYPE c VALUE 'ABCD'.

My value ABCD could be used in programs to check results like this :

IF p_parameter = 'ABCD'.

You can use the report RPR_ABAP_SOURCE_SCAN to search for strings, but this report will give a successfull hit if the string is in the program code. ie Hardcoded (p_parameter = 'ABCD'.). It will not find the report where the value comes from the selection screen variant. For that you have to search all variants by building a custom report.
