SAP Code Inspector

Hi Everyone,
In our project we have a requirement to automate the code review checklist preparation to the maximum extent possible.
Code Inspector has some standard checks included into it from which we can select the relevant checks for inspection purpose. My question is, whether we can customize it to add few more checks to meet our requirement or whatever standard check is there is the most we can have??????
SAP Ver 4.6c.
Any links to download relevant materials?
Any one having any custom object build for this purpose they can share it.
It would be of great help.

The Code Inspector (transaction code SCI) is a tool for checking Repository objects regarding performance, security, syntax, and adherence to name conventions. You can also determine statistical information or search for certain ABAP words (tokens). In the Code Inspector, you can define inspections that, with the help of check variants, examine certain sets of objects. As the result of an inspection, you receive information messages, warning messages, or error messages on different properties of the examined objects.
You can check the following link for details.

Abap code inspector (tx : SCI) to detect certain patterns

Hello Experts,
I want to use SAP Code Inspector to detect common problematic ABAP codes for all developed programs.
But, I don't know how to make the check variant for detecting follwoing three patterns.
SELECT * FROM
SELECT * INTO
SELECT SINGLE * INTO
I guess I can use "Search for ABAP tokens" or "Search for ABAP statements paterns". But, It did'nt work because ' * ' represents any sequence of characters in the code inspector.
Anyone can help me?

I managed to set up the variant, however found a problem.
I used "Search ABAP Statement Patterns" under "Search Functs" and set the pattern like followings.
SELECT + INTO *
SELECT SINGLE + INTO *
However following statements were detected.
SELECT * INTO TABLE IT_DRAW FROM DRAW.
SELECT MANDT INTO TABLE IT_DRAW FROM DRAW.
SELECT SINGLE * INTO TABLE IT_DRAW FROM DRAW.
SELECT SINGLE MANDT INTO TABLE IT_DRAW FROM DRAW.
It's because + means one ABAP token in the code inspector.
Is there anyway to find only "SELECT SINGLE *" and "SELECT *" ?

Execute ABAP Code Inspector from Outside of SAP

Hi all...
For reporting purpose, I would like to use ABAP Code Inspector (transaction SCI) for generating output as a file, it should call from outside of SAP through RFC function module and generate the list (output) as flat file (or XML), does anyone have been done with similar work like this? I wonder if you could share your experience with me...
thanks in advance,
yayan irianto.

Code Inspector: Examine programs in extern SAP systems?

Would it be possible to call from the Solution manager the code inspector and examine a program of a connected 4.6c-er system?

Hi there!
Today, I stumbled over the same problem: Defining an Include for user exits leads to a check of the surrounding function group from SAP which I don't want to correct at all.
Is there a nice an elegant way of filtering out the SAP modules from checking? If not, the only way to get around this seems to be building an own implementation of the Code Inspector integration into CTS.
Thanks, Markus

Exporting Code Inspector Results in SAP 4.6C

We are trying to use Code Inspector on SAP R/3 4.6C system. After the inspection is created for a program, we would like to export it to a document (PDF or another format) that can be used for reporting/audit etc. However, we are unable to do this.
Is there any way / workaround to export the inspection results to a document?
thanks

Hello,
Not sure abt 4.6, but in ECC6, there is clear button of "AS LIST" (CTRLSHIFTF11) and then List>Export>File.
If you are using SLIN (extended prog check), use 'Display all changes' and then System>List>Save-->Local File.

Using Code Inspector to search over SAP Packages

Hallo Guru,
I'm looking for a way to retrieve a message class number 127 "Initialization error" of message class C1 of a Package called CT.
So, usually with Code Inspector we can search over our client Packages.
But how I'm gone use code inspector to retrieve the different instances of code where my message number 127 is called.
The Problem that I'm getting this error when I call the BAPI_CHARACT_CHANGE located in the Function Group CTBP
And I don't know why I'm getting this?
Please reply me, if you have difficulty to understand what I wrote.
Also, please reply, if you really know how to solve the Problem.
Thanks In Advance.
Regards,
Kais

Hello,
you can use program RS_ABAP_SOURCE_SCAN to scan sources for the message number. If you search for '127' in objects of package CT, you get a match: Include LCTMVF32, line 39.
Hope this answers your question.
Regards,
David

Code Inspector Selection

Hello,
I am trying to use the Code Inspector and I would like to check only specific Includes from a Function Group.
In my Object Set I specified the Function Group I wanted to scan (Tab Classes, Function Groups, etc.) and I specified the Include I wanted to specially verify in the Program Tab.
It takes a lot of time to run and I get a runtime error. I have about 10 Includes to check so it should not take that long.
Is there a way to combine 2 different selections in the standard selection fields without considering modifying the source code?
I've checked the Code Inspector documentation but did not really find something that could help me solve my problem.
Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks in advance.
Sylvain

Hi guys,
Thanks for the answers but it's not solving my problem.
Here is an example of the situation I am going through:
The SAP standard program SAPLYDEVCM contains a lot of standard Includes and some new Customer specific Includes that were added during the project.
I want to scan only the Customer Includes Y* and Z*. When I enter the specific Include names the Code Inspector scan all Includes of the main program SAPLYDEVCM and that is not what I want.
Is it possible to scan only the Customer Specific Includes?
I hope my example was clear enough.
Thanks for the help.

Sylvain

Code Inspector Showing Error!!!

Hi All,
How to correct the following error raised by Code Inspector Check!!!!
ProgramZFTSRPRECC Include ZFTSRPRECC Row 1 Column 0
The namespace of the programZFTSRPRECC has the setting "C" and cannot be
tested
A possible cause for this is that an SAP program is being checked in a customer
system
Note, the following rule applies after a change in the sourcecode:
For testing the namespace settingis ignored for one week.
regards,
naveen.....

Check the attributes of the program, whether u may be selected "C" in Application option, if yes change to something else and test.
Pls get back with the result.

Checking naming convention of internal tables in code inspector

Can anyone please explain how in the code inspector can I check names of internal tables (like it_) that I use in a report program ? I know that I can specify it_ in Programming Convention -> Naming Convention->Program Global -> Data but this entry is not specific to internal tables as it also applies to variables and work areas. Apart from this is there any entry I can maintain in the Extended Naming Conventions for Programs(introduced in ECC 6.0)? Kindly reply at the earliest.

Hi,
Check these links for implementing the custom conventions in the code inspector

hope it helps you.

Transport Organizer Syntax Check using the Code Inspector

dear fellows,
i'm facing a problem when i check the syntax of transport. When i'm using the option to check the syntax within the transaction se01 the system starts no longer the extended check but the code inspector.
is there any possibility to turn this code inspector check off and to get the extended syntax check again?
or on the othe hand, which variant is used for the check and is there any possibility to change the variant that is used?
thanks for your answers,
Robert

Nope... this is SAP standard code so I will reply to the OSS and wait for them to come back to you.

Code Review of User Exits with Code Inspector

Hi,
We are using Code Inspector(Tcode - SCI) for checking the quality of ABAP Codes. It is working fine for all custom programs. But when we are checking the code of User Exits i: e MV50AFZ1 or ZXM06U22 then it checks the std SAP program (SAPMV50A) or (SAPLXM06) for these exits in place of checking that particular Exit only . How the customer/User Exits can be checked using Code Inspector. Pls advice.

Hi there!
Today, I stumbled over the same problem: Defining an Include for user exits leads to a check of the surrounding function group from SAP which I don't want to correct at all.
Is there a nice an elegant way of filtering out the SAP modules from checking? If not, the only way to get around this seems to be building an own implementation of the Code Inspector integration into CTS.

After retriving the FM from model
u can follow these steps
1)If ur Zfi name Zhr_Address
then u can write the following code.
Zhr_Address_Input input=new Zhr_Address_Input();
wdcontext.nodeZhr_Address_input().bind(input);
//setting params
//for example parameters r p1,p2
input.setP1("value");
input.setP2("value");

Code Inspector - Naming conventions &mExtended Naming conventions for Progs

Hi experts,
I had a look into the naming conventions enforced by 'DEFAULT' variant of code inspector (SCI).
the relevant categories are: "Naming Conventions", and "Extended Naming conventions for Programs" under "Programing conventions".
in the "Extended Naming conventions for Programs" category, for functions, (applicable while calling the functions) it says,
importing parameter : I[:type:]_
exporting parameter : E[:type:]_
changing parameter : C[:type:]_
tables parameter : T[:type:]_
but in the "naming conventions" category, for functions (applicable while defining the functions), it says,
importing parameter : P_*
exporting parameter : P_*
changing parameter : P_*
tables parameter : P_*
I felt, while defining the function too, its better to have beginning with I_, E_, C_ or T_ instead of P_
is the 'DEFAULT' variant of code inspector is provided and recommended by SAP?
for easier maintenance and clearer understanding, which naming convention is more suitable, or is there any official guidelines released by SAP for ABAP developers.
appreciate the opinions from experienced abap developers.
thanks,
Madhu_1980

Frank,
Thanks for your answer.
But what about Entity Objects, View Objects, View Links, and Application Modules.
I would like my developers to have an easy way to name them and also find them via intellisense.
So I was thinking in naming them the following way :
Entity Objects :
EO_Employee
EO_Department
View Objects :
VO_Employees
VO_Departments
View Links :
VL_EmployeesToDepartments
Application Module :
AM_HRService
However the use of "_" is not so "Java naming oriented".
So other alternatives would be:
1. take the "_" :
1.1 EOEmployee (I don't like the fact of having 3 capital letters together).
1.2 EoEmployee (I don't like the fact of having Entity Object with a lowercase "o").
2. Use the prefix at the end, but this way I loose the intellisense feature I want:
ex: EmployeeEO
Which naming approach are you using for big projects ?
Thanks,
Claudio.
