Avoid Hardcoding in SAP by TVARVC or SETLEAF

At the time of discussing client’s pain points and challenges which they are facing or reviewing the ABAP codes we have noticed that many variables are hardcoded or many Z-tables are present in the SAP system for maintenance of data to use in user exits, BADI’s, Reports, Forms, etc.

Due to Hardcode, code changes is required every time for addition/modification/deletion in the data which requires additional technical efforts along with functional for inputs & testing. Due to Z-table creation also Additional ABAP efforts are required for DDIC creation, table maintenance generator, domains creation or assignment, etc.

How to create and approve ATC exemptions in SAP BTP ABAP Environment

With SAP BTP ABAP Environment 2105 we delivered the basic scope of ATC exemptions. Now you can create and approve ATC exemptions using ADT in Eclipse and transport them between different SAP BTP ABAP Environment systems.

NOTE: In order to incorporate feedback from early adapters before making this functionality free available for all, it is currently available via the feature toggle. You need to create a customer ticket on the BC-CP-ABA component to turn it on in your SAP BTP ABAP Environment system.

Let’s take a look at the ATC exemption process in detail. The following class contains the hard-corded user name and will be checked with the ABAP Test Cockpit for security violations:

Getting acquainted with automating ABAP unit testing – Part 10

Part 9 – Write a third unit test

To recap from the preceding blog, we added a new unit test for testing production subroutine set_alv_function_module_name and, when executed, this unit test triggers a warning. Here is the source code as we left it in the previous blog:

Getting acquainted with automating ABAP unit testing – Part 9

Part 8 – Fix the production code bug identified by the second unit test

To recap from the preceding blog, we fixed the production code highlighted by a unit test failure, which caused the unit test to now pass and the production code, when executed, to retrieve the correct rows from the persistence repository. Unfortunately, we also found that when we request the output in ALV grid format we still are presented with the ALV report in classic list format. Here is the source code as we left it in the previous blog:
