Searching code in a system
Finding where a string, a pattern or a name occurs across what an ABAP system holds: source in programs, classes, enhancements and CDS definitions, and also program variants and dictionary objects, searched inside the system and not in files on disk. Raising findings against a rule is static analysisStatic analysisCatching problems in code before it runs: naming, obsolete statements, security findings, and compatibility with a target environment. Style linting, security scanning and cloud-readiness checks are often treated as one concern.SAP and community, narrow by design; reading one change is code reviewCode reviewReading a change before it moves on: which files or objects a change contains, what changed in each since an earlier version, and what a reviewer decided about each part. Comparing two versions of one object is where it starts; the review is the record kept of the decision.SAP and community, unassessed.

Its SE80 screen browses packages and objects and offers a where-used list and a search beside displaying and checking source; its SE03 screen searches for objects in transport requests and tasks.
Extends the standard ABAP code scanner, which only covers reports, function modules and classes, to also search enhancement implementations, Web Dynpro components, the ABAP inside BSP applications, and the ABAP embedded in Adobe Forms and Smartforms.
