Obsolete ABAP Language Constructs

[Former Member]

A paper was published on SDN by Marilyn Pratt (SAP Labs) dated other November 2005 on obsolete ABAP language constructs.

We are due to move to NetWeaver 2004s on our BI (BW) product this year and I need to clarify:-

(1). Will the ABAP language constructs in the document from Marilyn still be supported in NetWeaver 2004s, i.e. can we leave them in the source code?

(2). If not, is there a utility to identify these obsolete constructs? If so, is it the "Extended Program Check"?

Hello Nick

When you are calling transaction <b>SCII</b> (Code Inspector) you will see the selection of checks. Expand folder <b>Syntax Check/Generation</b> and push the <b>Attributes button</b> for <b>Extended Program Checks</b>. The last option there is to check for <b>Obsolete Statements</b>.

Uwe,

Thanks for your response. Looking at the Extended Program Check (within the Extended Program Check line of SCII), I cannot see a check box for obsolete code, the last entry in the list is "Struct. Enhancements". Am I in the wrong area?

Kind regards,

Nick
