How to count the whole coding of a package

[Former Member]

Hi all!

I want to write a short report which counts the whole coding of a package (reports, classes, functions, includes, ...).

Therefore I count the lines of a table which was filled with

READ REPORT rep_name INTO itab.

Now I have a result (e.g. PTIM 693.602 lines)

Is there a possibility to check this result with the "real" amount of coding.

Thanks for your help,

Timo

Hello Timo,

Try transaction 'CODE_SCANNER' and search for '.'

This will not give you the exact number (because it won't count multi line abap statements and comment lines) but it will give you a pretty good idea where your numbers are.

Just put in the package name(s) and search for the period '.'

Hope that helps,

Hey Michael,

thank you very much!

With this method I get 322.102 lines

I don't know how to interpret my result. Perhaps I counted lines twice?

Regards,

Timo

hi Timo,

#1 one line:

SELECT * FROM xxx INTO TABLE yyy.

#1 two lines:

SELECT * FROM xxx

INTO TABLE yyy.

#3 three lines:

SELECT *

FROM xxx

INTO TABLE yyy.

With dot counting you always get one as result, while all three statements is one and the same statement in fact and do exactly the same.

hope this helps

Hi Eric,

yes I think that's exactly the problem. So, with this point and the thing that you have comments at the beginning of every report,function module, subroutines, classes etc. it's possible to have this high number, right?

Thanks for help!

you are right, comments and even empty lines modify the number. So if you count the dots only, than you possibly closest to the right solution.
