Hi

Extended syntax check or SLIN is used to check the program in all aspects for the different syntaxes like

When you use select single whether you have passed all the key fields or not>

whether you have maintained the text elements texts or not,

Have you used UNIT...CURRENCY along with the QTY and AMOUNT fields when displayed using the WRITE statement

and check for all the varities of statements used in the code, and if there is some problem with that statement/command, it will display as error or warning.

Hello Paddu,

SLIN is a check tool provided by the ABAP runtime to perform a fixed set of tests on ABAP source code only. Code Inspector is a integration platform for test tools, which allow to execute any kind of test tool including SLIN.

So if you favor the one fits it all strategy Code Inspector is the hammer of choice, as it provides more features. If simplicity is your objective and you are lucky with the checks contained in SLIN you will stay with it.
