Searching a string in system's entire source code

Former Member — Thu, 07 Aug 2014 13:02:41 GMT

Hello.

I need find this characters in all of programs of the system because they aren't compatible with unicode: "á", "é", "í", "ó" and "ú".

I have used RPR_ABAP_SOURCE_SCAN, but although it has an option to ignore comments, the "end of line" comments (data: v_char(20). "comment) aren't ignored. And the literals (v_char = 'literal'.) neither.

Is there any way to do this?

I'm thinking about develop a report which gets the spool of RPR_ABAP_SOURCE_SCAN and recognizes the "end of line" comments and literals and delete it from list, but it would be a bit complex.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Adrian,

Try using transaction EWK1, it would help you in this case.

Don't forget to use 'Z*' or 'Y*' in Global search in programs....

Cheers!

Is the same problem, it doesn't ignore the end line comments. In fact, I think any comment is ignored in this transaction.

Just try via SE38, and use the find button.

Type in the string you want to find.

Click on the button next to the program name. Replace the program name by *. The search will now be performed on all selected programs.

Thanks, but it doesn't even has "ignore comments" option.
