Upgradation -hard Coding issue

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm working in an Upgradation Project(from 4.6c to ECC 6.0) where I need to remove Hard Coding in general.

I met with a situation where I have to use hard coding, but it's not good to use interms of performance.

Could anyone post the solution for this.

you can declare it as a constant and use the same..

else

tell us the situation or issue so that we can find some solution.

I met the issue while working with BDC Programs in case of perform statements where I need to do Hard Coding.

[Sm1tje]

In terms of performance, or in subroutines using PERFORM statement?

[Former Member]

In subroutines using 'perform' keyword.

[former_member242255]

for BDC recordings better not to replace the harcoded values,let them be like the same..

what i say is,the removing of the hardcoded values ignore for the BDC recordings..

There would not be much of performance issue while using BDC.

It matter's in other cases.

Up front, I would agree with Sravan, however, you haven't posted any example of one of the subroutines in which you have used some hard-coding. But normally, when you are for example using screen field names for calling these subroutines, I wouldn't mind doing some hard coding since these screen will 'never' change anyway. It would be a hell of a job correcting all the BDC programs and replacing these with constants.

Hi,

Its better to declar the constants for hardcoded values, but in case of BDC, there is no much need to declar the constants for field names & all.
