Read ABAP source

Hi,
Does anyone know how to load ABAP source code to an internal table.
Indeed, I'd like to write a tool to analyse my code and generate a calling tree.
The "SCAN ABAP-SOURCE" instruction seems not to bo allowed in programs.
Do you know others instruction to do that ?
If not, can someone tell me where programs and function modules are stored (which tables) ?
Thank you for your help,
Quentin

first refer this thread for download abap code into text file.
once this completed than you can upload this text file by just gui_upload fm.

Function Module to get ABAP source code for a specific version

Hi all
Is there a function module that I can use to get the source code of another function module at a specific version?
For example, can I call a function module passing in "FM_NAME" and "FM_VERSION" and have it return the lines of code associated with that object?
Thanks in advance.
Stuart

Thanks guys
That's incredibly helpful! I have one more question that I just thought of last night...
Is there a way to hook into the code activation process? I want to be able to take a snapshot of the ABAP source code at each point when it is activated for use in another system, but need to be able to intercept this event and get the source code at that point in time.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

What is the use of keyword SCAN ABAP-SOURCE

Hello experts,
what is the use of scan abap-source. please explain. what is tokens, statements, levels in that.

Hi
SCAN
This statement is for internal use only.
It cannot be used in application programs.
SCAN ABAP-SOURCE itab1 ...TOKENS INTO itab2
 ...STATEMENTS INTO itab3.
Parts marked with " ..." are interchangeable
Addition 1
... FROM n1
Addition 2
... TO n2
Breaks down the source code table itab1 into tokens not from start to finish, but only from line n1 to line n2.
The additions FROM n1 and TO n2 must, in this order, follow the specification of the source code table itab1.
When using the start specification n1, use the addition WITHOUT TRMAC to ensure that there are no unnecessary database accesses to the table TRMAC.
The end specification n2 is treated as "soft", i.e. a statement that begins on a line <= n2, but ends only on a line > n2, is returned completely.
If the end specification n2 is split in a chain statement, only the split part up to the next comma is returned completely, not the entire chain statement up to the next period.
Negative line specifications are not allowed and result in a runtime error.
A line specification of 0 amounts essentially to no specification.
If n1 number of lines in source code table, the scanner is not called (SY-SUBRC = 2).
If n1 > n2 and n2 > 0, the scanner is not called (SY-SUBRC = 2).

Addition 3
... KEYWORDS FROM itab4
Does not return all statements, only those specified in the key word table itab4.
If the key word table is empty (i.e. it contains 0 lines), all the statements are selected.
The lines of the key word table are treated as a character field.
To select a Native-SQL-statement or a macro definition, you can specify the pseudo key words EXEC_SQL or DEFINE_MACRO. It makes no difference whether the statements EXEC or DEFINE occur as well. Native SQL statements and macro definitions are returned as one statement (of type E or M even if the expansion of a macro definition results in more than one statement.
If the key word table contains a blank line, blank statements are also selected.
Addition 4
... LEVELS INTO itab5
Stores details about each edited source code unit (source code table itab1 itself, expanded include-programs, expanded macro definitions) in the level table itab5.
Specification of a level table makes sense only with the addition WITH INCLUDES.
The level table itab5 must have the structure SLEVEL.
The fields of the structure SLEVEL - and consequently the columns of the level table itab5 have the following meaning:
TYPE
Type of source code unit with the following possible values:
P (Program)
D (Internal DEFINE macro)
R (Macro from table TRMAC)
NAME
Name of source code unit (name of include program, macro name)
DEPTH
Current nesting depth of source code unit (>= 1)
LEVEL
Index of superior (i.e. including or calling) source code unit in the level table (>= 1, if DEPTH >= 2, otherwise 0)
STMNT
Index of superior (i.e. including or calling) statement in the statement table (>= 1, if DEPTH >= 2, otherwise 0)
FROM
Index of first statement of source code unit in the statement table (>= 1)
TO
Index of last statement of source code unit in the statement table (>= 1)
If the source code unit contains include programs or macro calls, the line range [ FROM, TO] in the statement table also covers the statements in subordinate source code units.
Addition 5
... STRUCTURES INTO itab6
Details of the construction of the source text table are given in the structure table itab6.
The structure table itab6 must have the structure SSTRUC.
The fields in SSTRUC (which are also the columns of structure table itab6) have the following meanings:
TYPE
Type of the structure with possible values:
P (Beginning of the source code)
R (Subroutine)
M (Macro, EXEC SQL)
I (Loop)
A (Case distinction)
C (Condition in a case distinction)
J (Goto command)
D (Structured declaration)
E (Event)
S (Follow-on from simple structured statement)
STMNT_TYPE
The statement type of the beginning of the structure. The values are listed in the type pool SCAN in structure SCAN_STRUC_STMNT_TYPE.
KEY_START
Flags whether the start of the structure is described semantically ('X' if there is a special statement, otherwise ' ').
KEY_END
Flags whether the end of the structure is described semantically ('X' if there is a special statement, otherwise blank).
STMNT_FROM
Index of the first statement of the structure in the statement table itab3.
STMNT_TO
Index of the last statement of the structure in the statement table itab3.
Index of the first substructure of the structure in structure table itab6.
STRUC_TO
Index of the last substructure of the structure in structure table itab6.
BACK
Index of the structure in the structure table itab6 that contains the structure as a substructure (0 if the structure is the root structure of a structure tree).
Addition 6
... OVERFLOW INTO c1
The addition is only allowed and required if the token table itab2 has the structure STOKEN or STOKEX.
If a token is too large to be stored in the token table in the field STR, it is placed in the overflow area c1. The offset of the token in the overflow area then lies in the token table in the field OFF1.
Addition 7
... WITH ANALYSIS
Breaks down each token t = a+b(c) according to the logic of the RSYN key word >ANALY into its three components a, b and c.
Offset and length of components a, b and c are stored in the fields LEN1, OFF2, LEN2, OFF3, and LEN3 in the token table. (The offset of OFF1 is always 0 and therefore not required.)
If you specify the addition WITH ANALYSIS, the token table itab2 must have the structure STOKESX, so that the fields LEN1, OFF2, LEN2, OFF3 and LEN3 are available.
If the token table has the structure STOKEX, you must consider the following:
If the whole token exists in the token table, the offset specifications are relative to the token start. If the token is in the overflow area c1, the offset specifications are relative to the start of the overflow area.
Addition 8
... WITH COMMENTS
Returns comments also, with each individual comment representing a token. The system additionally stores entries for each full block of comments in the table itab3, differentiating between comments that occur within statements and those that occur at program level. In itab3, an entry for a comment within a statement always comes before the statement containing the comment.
Example
Look at the following program fragment. The preceding numbers are the indexes of the tokens.
1 * An example *
2 * with scattered comments
6 MOVE
3 * Inserted comment 1
7 X
4 * Inserted comment 2
8 TO
9 Y
5 * Inserted comment 3
SCAN then enters the following values for the components TYPE, FROM and TO (in this order from left to right) into itab3.
'P' 1 2
'S' 3 5
'K' 6 9
If the addition ... WITH COMMENTS is used, the table itab2 must have the line type STOKES or STOKESX.
Addition 9
... WITH INCLUDES
Also breaks down subordinate source code units (included programs, called macros) into tokens.
You should normally combine the addition WITH INCLUDES with the addition LEVELS INTO itab5.
If (at least) one included program does not exist, SY-SUBRC is set to 1 and the relevant INCLUDE statement is flagged in the statement table itab3 by the statement type J (instead of I), but the breakdown process continues. The level table itab5 contains no entry for include-programs that do not exist.
If you combine WITH INCLUDES with WITHOUT TRMAC , TRMAC-Macros are not expanded because the system does not recognize them as subordinate source code units.
When macro calls are expanded, no position specifications are available. The corresponding fields in the token table itab2 and the statement table itab3 are then set to 0.
Addition 10
... WITH TYPE-POOLS
This addition has the same effect as the WITH INCLUDES addition, except that with the former include programs belonging to type groups are broken down into tokens.
Addition 11
.. WITH LIST TOKENIZATION
Tokens of the form (a1, a2, a3) are not returned as tokens but broken down into the elementary components.
Addition 12
... WITHOUT TRMAC
If a statement begins neither with an ABAP/4 key word nor with a DEFINE macro, the system does not check whether this is a TRMAC macro, but assumes an unknown statement. (Unknown statements are flagged in the statement table itab3 with a U in the field TYPE.)
To avoid unnecessary database accesses to the table TRMAC, you should use the addition WITHOUT TRMAC whenever you assume that the source code to be scanned contains unknown statements. Unknown statements are particularly likely to occur if you use the addition FROM n1, because the scanner does not start at the beginning of the source code, but from a specified point.
If you use WITHOUT TRMAC with WITH INCLUDES, TRMAC macros are not expanded because the system does not recognize them as subordinate source code units.
Addition 13
... PROGRAM FROM c2
Addition 14
... INCLUDE INTO c3
Addition 15
... MESSAGE INTO c4
Addition 16
... WORD INTO c5
Addition 17
... LINE INTO n3
Addition 18
... OFFSET INTO n4
The above additions have the same meaning as those for the
SYNTAX-CHECK: statement: c2 is an input field for a program name to be assigned to the source code, while the fields c3, c4, c5, n3 and n4 are output fields in case an error occurs.
To be able to analyze errors without modifying programs, use the additions INCLUDE, MESSAGE, WORD, LINE and OFFSET. These provide information about the errors which have occurred.
Variant 2
SCAN AND CHECK ABAP-SOURCE itab1 ...RESULT INTO itab2.
Parts marked with " ..." are interchangeable
Extras:
1. ... PROGRAM FROM c1 2. ... INCLUDE INTO c2
3. ... MESSAGE INTO c3
4. ... WORD INTO c4
5. ... LINE INTO n1
6. ... OFFSET INTO n2
The syntax of the program in table itab1 is checked. During the check, all of the information from the program, such as statement structures, statements, tokens, data objects, types and do on are placed into the result field. This field must have the type SYSCH_RESULT, which is defined in type group SYSCH. You must therefore declare type group SYSCH in your ABAP-program using a TYPE-POOLS statement.
&ABAP_ADDITION _1&
... PROGRAM FROM c1
&ABAP_ADDITION _2&
... INCLUDE INTO c1
&ABAP_ADDITION _3&
... MESSAGE INTO c3
&ABAP_ADDITION _4&
... WORD INTO c4
&ABAP_ADDITION _5&
... LINE INTO n1
&ABAP_ADDITION _6&
... OFFSET INTO n2
The above additions have the same effect as the corresponding additions in the statement SYNTAX-CHECK: c1 is an input field for a program name to be assigned to the source code, the fields c2, c3, c4, n1 and n2 are output fields, used when errors occur.
To enable you to analyze errors without having to modify the program, you should specify the INCLUDE, MESSAGE, WORD, LINE and OFFSET additions for the information about the error that occurred.

ABAP source code to connect to third party systems using web service calls?

Hi all,
can any one provide an example ABAP source code to connect to third party systems using web service calls? The base system is CRM.

Do you want to call a web service in a remote system, or do you want to provide a web service?
If you want to call a web service you should create a proxy object via SE80. Open your development package, right click on the tree entry and choose: Create -> Enterprise Service / Web Service -> Proxy Object and provide the needed information (including the WSDL description file). You may then use the proxy object to call the web service (if the connection and everything else works right).

Read ABAP Program from Transport File

Hi Guys,
I have a transport log file which contains an abap program, i want to read that program before inporting that to my system, when i open the file the program sources come in not readable format we are on ECC.6 and transport file is also generated out of ECC.6 system.
Does anyone have any idea how can i read the source of and any editor where i can get that converted in readable format.

Making ABAP sources Unicode compliant ... after Unicode conversion

Hi,
I was asked by a customer if there is any problem with the following scenario :
A system must be converted to unicode. Unfortunately, not all the ABAP source codes will be unicode enabled on-time for the conversion.
The development team wanted to know if they can assign priorities to ABAPs and focus their manpower on these ABAPs only.
The rest of the ABAPs will be made unicode compliant AFTER the conversion of the system.
I am well aware that if ABAPs don't have the Unicode flag checked, the system won't allow their execution but will it still be possible to edit the source code of those non unicode ABAPs and enable them afterwards ? From a technical point of view, I can't find any reason why it shouldn't be possible but who knows ...
Thanks for your answers,

Hi,
Yes during upgade the unicode check comes into picture..
The first unicode version is 4.7,so from 4.7 to higher versions unicode is thre...below 4.7 say 4.c is non unicode .
one example is u can dclare a variable of type X in non-unicode system(4.6c) but not possible in unicode system(ECC6.0).
Check the below links for understanding of unicode.

Using SCAN ABAP-SOURCE keyword

Hi,
My requirement is to get a report program name from the user, drill down the report to see how many Includes and subroutines are there in the report and in which level.
I was able to drill down the report for finding the Includes with their level using this key word SCAN ABAP-SOURCE.
Can someone provide me with a code to find the number of subroutines along with the subroutine name and which level they are present.
Thanks in advance.
Harini

Hi,
I have already drilled down the report to find out thenumber of includes and their levels.
By using CALL FUNCTION 'GET_GLOBAL_SYMBOLS'
it accepts to search only for a character in the program.
I require it to search for the keyword 'PERFORM' and also find in which level it is defined.
Please let me know how to achieve this.

Regarding SCAN ABAP SOURCE PROGRAM

Hi Friends,
I am using SCAN ABAP PROGRAM in my code .
        SCAN ABAP-SOURCE source_sub
        TOKENS     INTO i_tokens_sub
        STATEMENTS INTO i_statements_sub
        KEYWORDS   FROM i_keywords_sub
        LEVELS     INTO i_levels_sub
        WITH ANALYSIS.
after this statement execution , i_token getting filled up with token used in source code source_sub
but if i have to catch specific keywords is there a way that i can append those keywords to i_keywords_sub structure and then scan so that a line where that particular keyword used can be captured .
i am not knowing how to do that .Can i get some help on this.
Thanks&Regards

How to document ABAP Source Code like doxygen

Hi, all.
Is there any way or tool to generate HTML from ABAP source code? Like doxygen?
What i want to do is like the following.
- Retrieve all the ABAP source code of a specified package.
- Generate HTML(coloring of keywords or so) from the ABAP source code.
Best Regards.
Sejoon Ahn

You dont need to check the source code to find whether program is moved to PRD.
Just check the version management of program in development itself.
Click on transport log of request to find it.

UPDATE : Toshiba Recovery Wizard 'cannot read from source file or disk' error (satellite L500)

UPDATE 2: Phoned Toshiba tech support again, guided by techie to begin the recovery again. Just before phoning I was able to go into recovery options and view the drive setup and all the files that couldn't be read are on the CD so I've no idea why the error kept occuring, and neither did the techie. Fingers crossed it works this time but I'm not overly hopefully given that we've just done exactly the same as I did before. UPDATE 1: I got into the BIOS and reset everything back to defaults and yay, my toshiba recovery wizard now starts! :-D On the down side, when trying to do a factory default software / out of the box recovery I continually get error messages with regards to copying the files, for example
cannot read from source file or disk
7z.dll
Type application extension
size 585kb
date modified 7/14/2009 10.26pm
other read / copy errors include PREINST6.SWM, BOOT_32, BOOTPRIORITY, CHECKMAXPTSIZE, CHGBOOT, CPU, CPUCHECK, CREATEPARTITION, CTRLDRVINFO, DISKWIPE, DMI, DPINST32, EBLIB.DLL, ERRORDIALOG, EW3BOOTSEQ, FWLINK, FWLINK.SYS, GETHDDINFO, GETKEYSTATE, IMAGEX, INFILED, INITRECAREA, KRAIADAPI.DLL ..... at which point I decided to 'skip all' :-/
Any explanations as to what's going on and how I might be able to fix it would be very much appreciated! :-) Thank you!
I have a two and half year old satellite L500 with an Intel i-3 and 4 gigs of RAM, on which I was running Windows 7.
Admittedly it’s had rather a hard life (I ran some very demanding CAD / graphics software on it) but it had always performed well until just recently, when after suffering several BSOD (which had never happened before), the hard drive failed.
I partitioned and formatted a brand new hard drive (which is perfectly fine and functions normally when hooked up to another laptop with a SATA to USB cable) and obtained system recovery discs from Toshiba. Unfortunately, when I try and run the first disc, windows starts to load files but then generates an error screen with the message Error F3-F100-0003 and a request to turn the computer off.
When I use the windows Memory Diagnostic to get into the Windows Boot Manager Screen I get the following;
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware / software change might be the case.
To fix the problem
Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer
Choose your language settings and click ‘next’
Click ‘repair your computer’
File: \boot\memtest.exe
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: the selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt.
I can also use F8 on startup to get into the advanced boot options but selecting any of them simply results in the F3-F100-0003 error message. I’ve run a memory test using the UBCD, which tells me the memory is fine, and tried another hard drive (which also works perfectly well in another laptop) but no joy. On phoning Toshiba support the techie said my hard drive had failed, but as I say, both hard drives are perfectly fine / usable when hooked up to another laptop. I’m now completely stuck as to what the problem is and how I might resolve it – any advice / suggestions would be most gratefully received! Thank you in advance :-)

Satellite L655-S5096
Downloads here.
the second disc gives me the the "cannot read from source file or disk PREINST8.SWM"
My best guess is that the disc is not readable. Try copying it to another. Sometimes that works.
Otherwise, order new discs from Toshiba.

ABAP source code is written "by hand" or automatically?

Hi all,
I would like to modify the report "Open Items - Vendor Due Date Forecast" created by T. S_ALR_87012084.
With SE93 i found the name of the program RFKOFW00, which are referring to the T. S_ALR_87012084. T. S_ALR_87012084. (Parameter: D_SREPOVARI-REPORT = RFKOFW00) and with SE38 i have seen the ABAP source code of the program RFKOFW00.
My questions are:
1) The ABAP source code of the program RFKOFW00 is written "by hand", or automatically by one of the SAP tools, for example Report Painter/Writer, SAP queryu2026..? It seems to me that it is written "by hand". Is this true?
2) In general, how can i tell if a SAP ABAP program is written "by hand" or automatically by one of SAP tools? I know that one way to understand is that source code, written by hand is more clear.
Is there a way to understand, more accurate, more secure?
Thanks in advance
Serena

Hi ,
if the code is automatically created, there will be a comment line in the beginning of the code which says
Generated function module for ..........
Please do not modify or copy this function module

Recovery Disk Error : cannot read from source file or disk HOW TO FIX ISSUE

I have had my satellite L655-S5096 for some time now.. I had to switch out hard-drives the other day and installed windows 7 home on it from my own disk. I tried to download all the drivers needed, but the graphics and wifi drivers never worked, so I pulled out the old toshiba disks to start from new with this harddrive.. It gets to asking me for the second disc, then the second disc gives me the the "cannot read from source file or disk PREINST8.SWM" This is from the "out of the box" setting, which is recommended. I do not know how to fix this issue besides reinstalling windows 7 from my disc and trying to get the drivers to work again.. however I shouldn't have to since I have the Toshiba recovery disks.. do I need new disks?
Yes, I also had the hard drive drivers and all of that installed.. my toshiba reads the HDD just fine.

Download and Upload(!) ABAP-Source and DDIC-Objects?

Hi,
is there a standard transaction or third party tool
to download and upload(!!) ABAP-Source (function modules,
function groups, module pools, reports...) and DDIC-Objects
(tables, structures, data elements) to a local file system?
In terms of uploading these objects it would be desirable
that the transaction/tool creates packages/development classes/.. on its own.
I would need that to copy the same source and ddic-objcets to different customer systems without doing it "manually" everytime.
Does anyone know advice?
Thank you,
Bernhard
