Simplify your life: Searching text strings in SAP code - enhancements, SAPSCRIPT, SMARTFORMS or ADOBE forms

Introduction

A recurrent issue is to search all kinds of ABAP code for text strings. SAP standard program AFX_CODE_SCANNER does a great job, but lacks the search in code of enhancements, Sapscript, smartforms and Adobe forms and interfaces.

I will post the code for ZAFX_CODE_SCANNER, an adjusted copy, which does have those options, and can search the other areas. Please use at your advantage.

In this blog the creation of an Odata Service is shown which can be used to get the unit test data of an ABAP Netweaver system.

To get the information whether all tests of a package are valid or not the ABAP class cl_aunit_adt_res_test_runs is used. The code to extract the package status is available on github: https://github.com/andau/zabap_ci and can be imported with abapGit.
