Search in all abap programs

Hi all,

sometimes it happens that "where used"  is not helping. you might need to find where a certain string or piece of code is used.

Then you can use this:

RS_ABAP_SOURCE_SCAN 

it acts just like grep in unix... it traverses all programs and includes and lists what it finds.

Pretty handy also.

Enjoy abapers

The nice thing is that it does not change the user profile, but only the user buffer for authorization. So it is invisible to most programs checking users for critical authorizations.

function lines( ) in SAP ABAP instead of "describe table lines"

Hi Folks,
i just came across the lines( ) function in abap.

Instead of " describe table lines nlines"  now we can directly say if lines ( lt_table ) > 5...
without the need to declare an extra varialble

It is quite handy indeed!

Here the help extract
Enjoy! 

lines - Row Function
A row (or line) function is available for internal tables.
Syntax
... lines( arg ) ...
The lines function returns the number of rows (or lines) in an internal table. The argument arg must be an internal table. The return value has the type i.
Note
The function described here is one of the function that can also be used in the extended functional operand positions of the statements MOVE, CASE, and WHEN.

How to make an object editable in a production systems via OBJH SAP ABAP

Hi Folks!

You want to make tables and view clusters editable in a production system without opening the whole system to customizing?

You want the same method works also for other objects ( for example TM and PY rules and schemas )

Go to se16 table OBJH

Select your object ( in my case the view )

Explode the line

Use the usual hack to change from se16 to change the flag cursetting to ‘X’.

Save

Goto sm30 enter v_t52el and try to change.

Voila' it can now be changed.

Hope it helped

Cheers
