SYNTAX-CHECK undocumented parsing parameters

Hello,
as I'm working for a project where we need an ABAP-Parser I was searching for something that could help us with that.
I found the statement SYNTAX-CHECK with a lot of undocumented parameters, like 'id 'STMTS'', that seem to produce something like a parsing result for a program/class.
Does anyone have any documentation about these parameters, that are not documented in the normal sap-help?

Hi Roberto,
The new thing brought by BW 3.5 in start routines is:
$$ end of global - insert your declaration only before this line -
The follow definition is new in the BW3.x
TYPES:
BEGIN OF DATA_PACKAGE_STRUCTURE.
 INCLUDE STRUCTURE /BIC/CS<DS name>.
TYPES:
 RECNO LIKE sy-tabix,
END OF DATA_PACKAGE_STRUCTURE.
DATA:
DATA_PACKAGE TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF DATA_PACKAGE_STRUCTURE
 WITH HEADER LINE
 WITH NON-UNIQUE DEFAULT KEY INITIAL SIZE 0.
FORM startup
TABLES MONITOR STRUCTURE RSMONITOR "user defined monitoring
 MONITOR_RECNO STRUCTURE RSMONITORS " monitoring with record n
 DATA_PACKAGE STRUCTURE DATA_PACKAGE
USING RECORD_ALL LIKE SY-TABIX
 SOURCE_SYSTEM LIKE RSUPDSIMULH-LOGSYS
CHANGING ABORT LIKE SY-SUBRC. "set ABORT <> 0 to cancel update
$$ begin of routine - insert your code only below this line -

I could find a fix to the resulting syntax errors (due to RECNO field - cf. note 547669).
BUT, my question is: how to check the syntax of a whole bunch of update rules without editing them manually one after the other?
Thxs Roberto.

bsp:parameter with syntax check?

I use subcontrollers pretty often in my application.
I usually pass parameters to my subcontrollers like this:
<bsp:call url = "blabla.do" comp_id = "id1">
<bsp:parameter name = "my_attribute" value = "<%= lv_bla %>" />
</bsp:call>
By this, the public attribute "my_attribute" of the controller class of blabla.do is set to the value of lv_bla. This works perfectly.
However, what if there is no such an attribute in the controller class or if I rename the attribute. Of course, the syntax checker would not recognize this.
I was thinking of adding a dummy-statement to the bsp:call that would detect the syntax error
<% IF controller->my_attribute IS INITIAL.ENDIF.%>
However, obviously, my_attribute is not in the controller, but in the subcontroller class. Can I also access the subcontroller? Or are there other ways to check if my_attribute exists in the subcontroller class?

hi,
One way to access a subcontroller class is to instantiate it using create object but in this case the instance of it will not be the same one in its parent controller.
another way in a controller class there is an attribute M_SUBCONTROLLERS of type BSP_CONTROLLER_LIST which contains Tables with Instances of Subcontrollers (it is protected type). so we can make our own attribute (public) in controller of same type and inside our controller we just fill our attribute with values from this one. this way it will be ascessible outside also.
one more way is we just instatiate the subcontroller in our application class instead of instantiating in controller this way the same instance of the same subcontroller will be accessible and we can check for a attribute existance in it.
hope this may help you,
cheers,
Hemendra

How to Disable Syntax Checker for DDL Generation

Would like to include shell script commands before a create table statement. Modified the .xdb but PowerDesigner does not recognize this code as it is not native to the database. Is there a way to disable the syntax check so that the create table script can include these statements rather than a number of errors? Running v15.2 of PowerDesigner. Any feedback would be appreciated!

Hello. Yes. To be more specific, want to be able to run the create table DDL for Teradata from BTEQ. I added the following statements to a customized version of the Terada .xdb for the table BeforeCreate:
.logon ${TD_SERVER}/${TD_USERNAME},${TD_PASSWORD}
select 1
from dbc.tables
where DatabaseName = [%QUALIFIER%]
and TableName = '%TABLE%'
.if errorcode > 0 then .goto error
.if activitycount <> 1 then .goto create_tbl
drop table %TABLE%;
.if errorcode > 0 then .goto error
.label create_tbl
The DDL shows up with syntax errors as follows. So clearly, there is something that is attempting to validate the code:
3 error(s), 0 warning(s)
(1) (Table "DATE_DIM"):
 [syntax error] unknown macro: logon ${TD_SERVER}/${TD_USERNAME},${TD_PASSWORD}
(8) (Table "DATE_DIM"):
 [syntax error] condition parsing error
(16) (Table "DATE_DIM"):
 [syntax error] expecting .endif

Syntax checker

Hi all,
I wish to create a Custom Syntax checker for a String expression. This should incorporate small checks like count of "{" equals count of "}" so on and so forth. Is there a way[other than parsing the String using charAt() or indexOf()] that I can use to have the count of particular characters in a String. Is there anything in Apache Reg Exp that can help me do it. Does any body has similar code for custom syntax checkers.
Any help would be appreciated..
Sushil

This should incorporate small checks like count of "{" equals count of "}" so on and so forth.Can't be done with true regexps (although I'm not sure about PERL-style ones).

Disable Immediate syntax checker in Java editor

Could anyone suggest how to disable the syntax checker in Creator's java editor? Would be helpful if I could run it on demand, just immediately before bulding the project. Or even not run at all, as syntax errors are shown during the build.
The idea is to increase the performance and prevent occasional but still unwanted popups from the bottom of the screen.
Thanks,
-Ivan

Does anybody know how to do that? After I've made the change Creator stalls for a sec trying to parse the code and detect the errors. But quite often I want to leave the code as it is and get back to it later. Creator starts to complain about syntax errors, etc. Quite an annoying thing, could anyone suggest anything?

Syntax Check Problem?

Hi there!
I have an ActionScript Project and have many AS Classes on my
source directory, but have only one Application (Main.as).
The question is that I can write anything on the AS Classes
and the Flex doesn't point any errors. Flex only parse the classes
that are used by my Main Application. This is not a good thing,
because not all the classes are laoded by the Main Application
directly, but I still need a instant syntax checking...
So, could some one say me if this is a Syntax Check Problem?
Thank you,
CaioToOn!

Hi,
Indeed, it can be frustrating that your class gets compiled
only when it gets used. I'm guessing the compiler behaves that way
for performance reasons.
But I don't understand the bit about classes not being loaded
by the main application directly? You mean those classes are
compiled into modules / rsls?
As long as the classes are referenced in some class which is
being used by the application, it *should* get compiled. It would
be interesting to know the dependency of your actionscript
classes.

Tool for Syntax check

Hi,
exist a function or a tool that check if syntax in a script is correct?
Thanks a lot
Cristina

user5366366 wrote:

A dirty method that can be used from any client is to add "+EXPLAIN PLAN+" to the SQL - and instead of asking Oracle to execute the SQL, request it to parse it and generate an execution plan for you. Again, a successful execution plan result means a successful parse - and again, for that specific session environment only.
Why is session environment important? There are NLS setting that can make an explicit string to date conversion of a literal work in one session and fail in another. The current scope of the session could point to a different schema. Etc.
So even though you may get a successful parse, it could be pretty meaningless as when it is executed the environment is different.
Which then begs the question why do you not parse it once up front, and then used the code in its "+parsed+" format? This is what stored procedure code does for you. And why it is a better option than to store the source code externally, outside Oracle, on another system.
There are also a host of other issues to consider such as security, maintenance, access control and so on, that makes stored code a significantly superior option all around than storing SQL and PL/SQL code in some external script somewhere.

Syntax check error in the standard include

Hi,
I have modified one standard include using access key to insert one logic as per businness requirements.Now after inserting that code iam getting syntax error but while activating it is not showing the error and getting activated.
The include is V05XZZMO in that i have inserted code is as follows
FORM MOVE_USERFIELDS USING ZP.
CASE ZP.
    WHEN 'VBRK'.
    header
    MOVE LVBRK-XXXXX TO LFAMTV-ZZXXXXX.
*{   INSERT         GDVK934083                                        1
          MOVE LVBRK-ZUONR TO LFAMTV-ZZZUONR.
*}   INSERT
    WHEN 'VBRP'.
    item
    MOVE LVBRP-XXXXX TO LFAMTV-ZZXXXXX.
*{   INSERT         GDVK934083                                        2
   MOVE LVBRP-MATWA TO LFAMTV-ZZMATWA.
*}   INSERT
ENDCASE.
ENDFORM.
now it is throwing error saying that LFAMTV doesn't exist...when I double click on that it is taking me to the FM RV_INVOICE_VIEW_2 where it is defined....
Can anyone know the reason why it is throwing the error when we go for the syntax check but when u activate the program it is getting activated.. so can this error can be neglected?
Any help on this will be appreciated..
Regards,
Rohan.

Hi,
First comment ur code and then activate the include.
Now put a break point in the form and then in the debug mode check the structre LFAMTV is visible or not.
if yes then once again add ur code and then activate the whole program.
and now once again debug it and see...., whether the values are updated to the strurure LFAMTV.

SQL Developer 1.1.0.21: Issues with Data Grid and SQL syntax checking

In this new release of SQL Dev, when I execute a SQL in the SQL Worksheet and click in the Data Grid in the Results tab and try to navigate within a record using arrow keys, the grid cell enters into edit mode by default and so I cannot use the Left or Right arrow keys to navigate the grid. I am forced to use tab key to navigate. This is counter intuitive in my opinion.
Is there any option to change this behavior?
Another issue that I have come across is with SQL syntax checking. In some cases, when I press F9 to execute a SQL, it shows the SQL as executed i.e. shows something like 0.0134 seconds in the toolbar and no results displayed. In reality, the SQL had some syntax error which were NOT reported. This can be frustrating since now I have to fall back to SQL*Plus or TOAD just for syntax check.
I like the fact that SQLDev highlights the current SQL but it would be more useful if it just indicated the first line of the current sql instead of highlighting the whole sql.

I am forced to use tab key to navigate. This is counter intuitive in my opinion."
In the "Results" tab, Click Ctrl & Tab keys (at the same time) or with mouse click on any cell other than the first column (a sequence or rownum), you will be able to navigate using the arrow keys.

The 0.0134 seconds could be the result of the most recently executed successful statement. Check the Script Output tab for errors. Use F5 (Run Script option) instead of F9.
"I like the fact that SQLDev highlights the current SQL but it would be more useful if it just indicated the first line of the current sql instead of highlighting the whole sql."
On the SQL statement (or code), Right Click -> Format SQL (or press Ctrl & B), proper formatting would help.
I use version 1.0.0.15.57 and seems to be working allright.

Syntax check for tables and function modules

Hi,
I am writing a program that perform syntax check on object such as executable programs , function modules and tables.
Syntax check works fine for programs, but not for tables.
How can I perform syntax check on my tables or structures?
I get my data from the table TADIR. But I don't get my function modules from there. What is the table for this.
Thanks 4 ur replies.
Parvez

hi
good
generally in sap while creating a table or structure we get the error and we solved them,but like reports during runtime it is not possible to check the syntax of a table or structure.
thanks

Can we use SAMT to syntax check methods in global classes ?

Transaction SAMT can be used to perform syntax checks on programs but I can't see how to use it to check methods in global classes. Can anyone tell me how to do this ?
thanks,
Malcolm.

I've figured out a way to do this.
You need to put the class name followed by '=====CP' into the program name......with enough ='s to make the name up to 32 characters. Bit fiddly but it can be done.

Warning in query in Extended Syntax Check

Hi all,
I perform Extended Syntax Check.
It generates following warning for the query: -
In "SELECT SINGLE....", the WHERE condition for the key field "MATNR" does not test for equality. Therefore the single record in question may not be unique.
(You can hide the message using "#EC *)
Please tell me what does it mean. How can I suppress this warning?
Regards,
Saurabh A. Buksh

Hi,
whenu r using select single use a variable or a workarea don't use tables.
select single matnr from mara into v_matnr
where matnr in s_matnr.
also as it is warning message u can neglectit .
when u r using select single u should give entire key information also.

Extended Syntax Check in abap code

Hi Guys,
We are upgrading from 4.6 C to ECC 6.0. When I do the Extended Syntax check for the custom function module it gives me the following error. Please help.
The EXCEPTION "REPORT_NOT_EXISTENT" is not defined in the interface of the function module "RS_VARIANT_CONTENTS" "RS_VARIANT_CONTENTS". Internal Message Code: MESSAGE G-7.
(The message can be hidden with "#EC ARGCHECKED)
Regards,
Shankar

Don't suppress the message. You should only suppress messages if you are aware of why they are appearing, and they are not an error.
What it means is, that in your custom function module, there is some code like
CALL FUNCTION 'RS_VARIANT_CONTENTS'
EXPORTING
 report = v_report
 variant = v_variant
EXCEPTIONS
 VARIANT_NON_EXISTENT = 1
 VARIANT_OBSOLETE = 2
 REPORT_NOT_EXISTENT = 3
 OTHERS = 4
But if you look at FM rs_variant_contents, you'll see this exception is not defined. The correct course of action is to remove it from your call.
