Using the Extended Check 

The Menu Painter's extended check examines all the GUI statuses in your program for correctness, syntax errors, and completeness. You can correct any errors from within the extended check. The extended check is based on the standards defined in the SAP Style Guide. These are checked against the attributes that you have assigned to the components in your interface.

Starting the Check

To start the extended check, choose Utilities ® Extended check either from the initial screen of the Menu Painter, or from the work area.

The system displays the result of the check procedure in the form of a hierarchical tree structure. There are two error categories:

Warnings include oversights such as undefined function keys or missing fastpaths. Violations of SAP standards include incorrect function key settings or inadequate assignment of functions to a menu,

Further Information

Choose the information icon to display more information about an error. Select a node in the hierarchy tree and choose Information Here, the system also displays information about how to correct the error. If you select the Warnings or Standard violations node, the system displays the general documentation.
