It's against forum rules to offer to award points.

Extended Program Check and Code Inspector look at different aspects of the source code. Code Inspector also allows for a client to add their own checks.

Hi,

The Extended Program Check (transaction SLIN) is really a deep syntax check of a program. Not every syntax error will be detected when you generate a program in the ABAP editor. For example, calling a function module with an incorrect parameter type would not be detected by the syntax check but only at run-time (where it would result in a short dump). You can avoid this kind of problem by sending your program through the Extended Program Check.

The Code Inspector (transaction SCI) is a far more advanced tool:

- it can check all types of objects, not just programs (for example you can also check dictionary tables or structures)

- it can check groups of objects, whereas the extended program check is only for a single object

- probably the main difference with SLIN: it not only looks at the syntax, but also makes "qualitative" checks, e.g. ABAP code can be evaluated for performance, security issues, etc.

Hope this helps,

Mark M

hi Murali,

<b> In Code Inspector </b> -- you can check individual objects or sets of objects for performance, security, syntax, and adherence to name conventions. You can also determine statistical information or search for certain ABAP words . In the Code Inspector, you can define inspections that, with the help of check variants, examine certain sets of objects. As the result of an inspection, you receive information messages, warning messages, or error messages on different properties of the examined objects.

<b>In Extended check :</b>You use this function to perform static checks, which are too time consuming for the normal syntax check. The extended program check returns both errors and warnings and it is possible to run either individual specialized tests or one whole standard check.
