Parsing ABAP Code

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

I have a wierd question. Where is the ABAP code stored? You can take a look at the ABAP program names through R3TR program ID in table TADIR, but where is the source code stored. Is it in the databse server, if yes which table?

Hi Shiv,

You can get the entier program if you use the below command.

DATA: BEGIN OF REPTAB OCCURS 50,

LINE(100).

DATA: END OF REPTAB.

READ REPORT <Program name > INTO REPTAB.

Try,

Hi Shiv Kasthala

Table 'trdir' holds some information about the program like program name.

and

Table 'trdirt'holds program code.

trdirt-text is the field that contains this information.

Hi Vijay,

TRDIRT will have only the discription of the program. It will not have the code. For your information Please

The source code is stored in table REPOSRC but you will not be able to see it in SE16 as it is stored as RAWSTRING.

You can only read it using

READ REPORT <Program name > INTO ITAB.

Cheeers.

Like long texts, programs are stored in database clusters. They are not visible through your normal data dictionary transactions. you have to use the commands provided by ABAP to read them like READ REPORT mentioned above.
