can't run ABAP program 'RS_ABAP_SOURCE_SCAN'

[Former Member]

Hi expert,

      I ran this ABAP program trying to search a string in all abap codes, but message 'string not found' showed up immediately. then I check SU53,

I checked with our security, even granted SAP_ALL, this issue still there. so our security confirmed this is not security issue and the error message is randomly created by cache, means nothing . can you please suggest how to fix this issue?

Many Thanks,

S_PROGNAM relates to you and SU53 is your result, but it is not needed as it is a SACF (see the tcode) object and running passively. It is not stopping you from anything.

What IS stopping you is that the program in which you are searching for the string does not directly contain that string in a static search. Hence string not found...

If you want to fix this issue you must add the string you are looking for to the code. Or at least a comment in the code. Then it will find it (also with the same authorizations).

So it is not there. It is now caching either.

I have tried a lot of strings from difference abap code, still does not work, so I suppose this is not about usage, something wrong with security or system, but I tried it in dev/qa/prod, all did not work.

I still place my bets on usage.... but perhaps you can let us know which release and SP level you are on?

Try this: in the string field enter MESSAGE. In the program name enter SU24_TEST_SWITCH_OFF. Hit F8.

What happens?

Hi, you must specify object(s) you want to search in. This can be generic e.g. field "Program Name" enter SAP*

Thanks everybody, I have to put in '*' to restrict searching area, leaving them blank does not work.
