Search HARD CODE with Code Inspector

[Former Member]

Hi everyone!

I need o find hard code iin many programs, but I am not finding the right item I have to mark in Code Inspector to find it!

Ex: IF l_bwart EQ '280'.

This kind of text '280' is never showed in Code Inspector. How can I create a Inspection just to catch this kind of instruction?

Tks

Dear Marcos

This thread is answered, but it's worth to add this answer.

You can find any hard code with Code Inspector (SCI).

To do so, proceed as follows:

1-Create a new check Variant, named for example ZSEARCH

2-Open the folder "Search Functs."

3-Press the button to "Find Unwanted Language Elements"

4-In the Unwanted Language Elements dialog press the button of Find Unwanted Language Elements block

5-Un the Multiple Selection for Unwanted Language Elements press the trash button to empty the default elements

6-Inform * '280' * (note the blank spaces between * and ', ' and *

7-Accept dialogs

8-Save the check Variant

9-Go back

10-Create a new Inspection, named for example ZSEARCH

11-In the check variant block select ZSEARCH

12-Select a single program or a Object Set.

13-Launch the search.

Hope this helps.

in syntax check ->extended syntax check make sure char strings is checked,

[Former Member]

Yes, it is checked but return no errors.

I created a test report with the code:

REPORT ztest.

DATA: l_bwart TYPE bwart.

l_bwart = '280'.

IF l_bwart = '280'.

Write: l_bwart.

ENDIF.

I checked just this check and returned no erros...

i guess its because its too small a character value.

Hello Marcos,

I donot think that you can check this "type of hardcoding" with Code Inspector / Extended Syntax Check.

As suggested in earlier posts, you can try to check the "character string" hardcoding with Extended Syntax Check.

@Soumya: '280' is not a "character string" hardcoding.

Try like this:

DATA: l_bwart TYPE string.

l_bwart = 'Code'.

IF l_bwart = 'ABCD'.
  WRITE: l_bwart.
ENDIF.

BR,

Suhas

I guess it too, but there are any way to correct this?

[Former Member]

Ok, but I have to look out to a package of programs to discover this kind of Hard Code...

yes suhash.

you are correct..

[Former Member]

do one thing.

write a report.

which first reads the report using read report

and then loop at the report table and check for ' ' except data declaration parts.

[Former Member]

It can work, but here we use a tool that use a inspection of code inspector to do the job!

My question is: There are any way to customize the Code Inspector Inspection to catch exactly what you said? Literals character like '280', for example.

[Former Member]

in code inspector try putting some thing in search funct.

i guess you can put patterns there

I am trying something right now... If I get a answer I post here!
