Every programmer have their habit to code, but this lead a problem , it is difficult to read other people's code, especially the complex logic.

So how to establish code standards to make the abap code more readability?

I came up with this:

1.Unify the naming rule.

2.Reduce the nest of 'if' statement. (better in less than 4 if statement in one block )

3.Use more Perform to replace the big code block.

Is there any other standards to make our abap code more readability ?  （if we establish the standards, in sap is there any tool to help us to follow the rule we set ?）

Hi Zhang,

Those things have been largely discussed here on SCN. You can even find a whole section from ABAP Documentation with code guidelines and best practices.

Also take a look into SAP Code Inspector (transaction SCI).

There are a number of things you could do. Some of which are:

I would recommend creating your own in-house document on Coding standards, some of which you can control with the code inspector.

It is also possible to set up the transport request in such a way that objects that do not pass the SCI test are not allowed to be released.

I would also assign a senior developer to act as quality control for all developments. You can have a rotation scenario where this work can be divided by the number of senior developers you have.
