Does somebody know why TCODE table_scanner is not suppported anymore by SAP? The code is completely commented out.
I receive the error "obsolet transaction". Error code AFX_GLOBAL183. In the version history it was changed by SAP.
Release SAP_ABA 731, SP10

Hello Robert,
this transaction has been deactivated due to authorization issues.
I am not 100% sure but I think SAP Note #1644043 - "Missing authorization check in CA-GTF-TS-GMA" has brought this change: not all authorizations were checked with this transaction, therefore TABLE_SCANNER has been deactivated.
Instead the "Where Used List" function of transaction SE11 can be used.
Best regards,
Laszlo
is it important for you to know why does SAP do it's decisions?
If yes - then probably send the question to them - if there is no comment in the code already

@Laszlo; thanks. Yes it seems to be that the note is the reason (shown in the correction instrcutions).
With table_scanner I was able to search for a dedicated content in a big bunch of tables.
How you can do this with SE11? With "Where used list" I only see e.g. in which view/table the field is used but no content.
e.g.: I want to search for sales order type 'ZRO2' in all Z-Tables (fieldname VBAK-AUART).
