Can anyone please explain about Extended Program Check.

Wats the purpose of that.

Extended Program Check for ABAP Programs (SLIN)

The extended program check makes static checks that are too laborious for the normal syntax check.

When you choose Perform Check, the checks selected in the Checks group box are carried out. If you choose Perform Std. Check, the system report those errors that are particularly critical. Since all results from the standard test are saved, this test is usually very fast.

Using the Checks

For performance reasons, and to make them easier to use, the extended check is divided into 19 separate checks. Use F1 help to display details about a particular check.

You can use any number of the sub-checks in any combination. They can take up to 10 times longer to run than the normal syntax check. However, they do use an internal cache, so if you use them repeatedly, the runtime does become significantly shorter.

The results are displayed as an overview (unless you have selected the first of the Additional Functions . If you double-click a list item, the error description appears. A second double-click branches to the point in the source code where the error occurred.

Defining Exceptions

You can suppress SLIN messages which, in certain cases, are irrelevant. You cannot suppress messages sent by the normal syntax check (such as syntax errors or warnings from the syntax check). The following applies for other errors:

You can exclude a section of code from the check using

SET EXTENDED CHECK OFF

SET EXTENDED CHECK ON(CHECK OFF).

If you want to type the interfaces of FORMS or function modules fully you may have to use the type ANY.

You can use a pseudo-comment ("#EC *) to exclude the current line from the check. You can explicitly exclude certain problematic error messages:

1. ("#EC *) exculdes error messages regarding the current ABAP command

2. ("#EC NOTEXT) indicates that a string does not have to be stored as a text element

3. ("#EC CALLED) indicates that a FORM has a PERFORM call

4. ("#EC NEEDED) - no messages are output about a field that is only read

5. ("#EC PORTABLE) turns off the ASCII/EBCDIC test

6. ("#EC NOBREAK) - no messages are sent at BREAK-POINTs

7. ("#EC TRANSLANG) specifies that the use of TOUPPER or TOLOWER is also safe in multilingual systems.

8. ("#EC SYNTCHAR) specifies that the data TOUPPER or TOLOWER is used on contains only characters from the syntactical character set.

You should remember that comments in macros are not copied over.

If you want to put your own comments after a pseudo-comment, you must leave at least one space after the pseudo-comment. ("#EC NEEDED: SLIN comment) is not interpreted as a pseudo-comment, but ("#EC NEEDED SLIN comment) is.

Additional Functions

If you select Display Check Results as a Simple List, all of the test results are output immediately as a list. This is particularly useful if you want to print the results.

If you activate Also Include Suppressed Errors, the system outputs errors which would otherwise be suppressed.

Examples of Exceptions

DATA: I TYPE I. "#EC NEEDED

I = 4.

BREAK-POINT. "#EC NOBREAK

WRITE 'Hugo'. "#EC NOTEXT

IF 'a' < 'c'. "#EC PORTABLE

ENDIF.

FORM AB. "#EC CALLED

ENDFORM.

Hi Sandeep,

Extended program check is done for developing the error free

programs. we hav 2 methods to do extended program check. they are slin and scid check.

Slin tcode is extended program check and SCID tcde for performance.

Check this link for more details.
