All,

This may be a general question.

We have multi continental development centres , the programmers usually complete their coding and submit for testing.

So i am looking some kind CHECKLIST document that these are the points covered while doing the programming say for example

1. All selection screen input have provided f4 help

2. All selection screen input have f1 documentation.

...

Something like that

Anybody have these info please share it here.

Why not just use a standard template for creating the programs?

No, I think it could be a useful discussion - but don't ask for documents!.

It isn't project specific. Writing good ABAP goes across projects.

Hi,

Why not start a wiki on the subject and encourage people to contribute to that?

Well, if you need a binary search, then maybe you're using the wrong kind of table. SORTED or HASHED may be better.

Hi,

A few more points:

During File Upload:

a) Label each text box clearly to understand Presentation server file path/ Application server file path to be mentioned.

b) Disable Presentation server file selection option in case of background execution.

c) Show the progress of file upload in the status bar
