I am not quite sure but it can be 2 things:

1) Code that might never be executed as per the logic of the program.

For example, the code in IF-Endif block where the condition will always be false or unused routines & variables.

2) commented code

Hi,

Dead Code (Program -> Check -> Extended Prog. Check) - unused subroutines appear as warnings under PERFORM/FORM interfaces. - unused variables appear as warnings under Field attributes. Transaction code is SLIN. This will also catch literals

So dead code usually is the unused code

Commented line's are called Dead Code ....

while developing an program you will be writing all sort of filtering , select query's ..etc ..

when it is finely tuned then you will be commenting it by \* this is called Dead Code.

even this will be taken in th e performance issue ... because your whole program lines will be ther in the buffer , so the dead code will also occupy some mmory which is not requeired .

reward points if it is usefull ....

Hi Veeranagi,

Dead codes are the unused codes in the report.

If you can do an extended syntax check in a 6.40 system, it will show code that can't be reached.

Hi,

The code which is not going to be executead at run time is called dead code.

It includes comments, unnecessary conditions, variables that are not going to be used.

Thanks

A dead code is a code that's never been executed, ever.
