SAP most common runtime errors

Former Member — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:59:32 GMT

Hi!

I have two questions to discuss:

2) Which are the 10 worst things an ABAP developer can do while programming?

I'm new in SAP and I don't want to make any stupid mistakes.

Thanks!

Marcos

Hello,

A quote from Thomas Alva Edison on his efforts while developing the electric bulb:


"Before I got through, I tested no fewer than 6,000 vegetable growths, and ransacked the world for the most suitable filament material."

Hope you get the idea.

Good Luck,

Suhas

Hi!

The worst error, what they can make is that, they don't read the forum rules, before asking questions on SDN...

I'm not against learning by mistake and I'm sure I'll probably make a lot of them even if a thousand persons answers my question. However, knowing this things can help increase my productivity.

I could also lear ABAP writing code and see if it compiles..but its faster to read a guide or manual.

Thanks for the answers and suggestions. I agree with them, but I would like to discuss the questions.

I can tell one example of mistake -

If you are getting the values to an internal table , trying to fetch the data from work area with out reading or looping the internal table is a mistake.

Thanks sreeja!

That's exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for.

I forgot to mention that I'll also be doing some peer reviews, so this can help me make a basic list of things I could look while reviewing code.

Thanks again!

The worst mistake is the one that is not caught until after the payroll has been released.
