Extended Program Check

You use this function to perform static checks that are too time-consuming for the normal syntax check. The extended program check returns both errors and warnings. It is possible to run either individual specialized tests or one whole standard check.

1. To access the extended program check, choose Program → Check → Extended program check (or use transaction SLIN).

   The system displays a list of possible check options. By default, all of them are selected. For detailed information about a particular option, position the cursor on it and choose F1 .

   Note

   The extended program check takes considerably longer than other checks but it uses a buffer and the process speeds up after the first run.

2. Select any options you need.

   For each option you have selected, the system displays an overview of the number of errors, warnings, and messages.

   Note

   Only the especially critical warnings are displayed before the standard check.

3. Choose an entry to display the corresponding detail screen.

   From that screen you can jump to the appropriate point in the program and correct the error.
