Search for text in function modules

Former Member — Tue, 26 Oct 2004 19:19:45 GMT

Good day everyone...

I am wondering if anyone knows of a report similar to RPR_ABAP_SOURCE_SCAN that can be used to search for a string of text in function modules. RPR_ABAP_SOURCE_SCAN is great for searching through report programs for text, but I need to be able to expand this. Maybe there is a better way to search both? I have used RPR_ABAP_SOURCE_SCAN for so long that I am unaware of anything to do what I need now with function modules.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi Geoff

Every function module is addressed by an include of the function group which it belongs. I guess it can be retrieved from the table <b>"TFDIR"</b>. So, knowing this include name, you can use the report "RPR_ABAP_SOURCE_SCAN" passing the include name as the parameter.

Hope this helps...

Hi Geoff,

Function module belongs to a function group. Function group starts with SAPLxxx, where xxx is the function group name. When you run RPR_ABAP_SOURCE_SCAN, you can enter the full program name of the function group SAPLxxx and set the program type as 'F'.

You can do much more than that.You can read the source code and pass it to SCAN statement which will break the code in tokens and return values in internal table and then you can do search whichever way you want.

Thanks a lot for the help...Got the scan program to work with the SAPLZxxx function groups and program type F as specified.

Here a programm I used some years ago to search for strings in abap source code.

It works in 2 steps:

1) create list of sources from TRDIR into file(s)

2) walk thru list of sources and scan for strings

Step 2 may run in parallel on lists of disjunct source name ranges

No guarantee that it still works, no support.

Have lots of fun with it.
