Dear colleagues,
seems to be an elementary question, but after an hour of struggeling Im not wiser: how to search for a string in ALL available ABAP source (SAP and custom, all kinds of application's BSP's, WDA's, FPM, reports etc)? At the end Im looking for a pendant to Eclipse search (Ctrl + H).... Thank you,
cheers

Program RS_ABAP_SOURCE_SCAN would be my first choice, but maybe it's not a complete search

RS_ABAP_SOURCE_SCAN runs in a time out: Im getting a TIME_OUT exception from SAPLSEDA, so doesnt work for me.
EWS1 simple doesnt exists -> so on BW 7.40 SP13
Thank you anyway,
cheers

To circumvent the TIME_OUT, run it in background (batch processing) ...

Thank you for your friendly support Horst. Cant find such an option within the program, need the SM37 to do that, right?
cheers

No, you select Background processing when executing the program from SA38 or SE38.
Before, execute normally, enter your parameters in the selection screen and save them as variant with the save button. Use this variant for the Background processing.

works (press F9), thank you. The circumstance I need compelling to spool the output is a bit strange, but at then end it does the trick
cheers

This looks rather like a working solution. Indeed, do I really need programming work every time I need to do a search? Almost cant belive it, comprehensive search in source is a very basic functionality imho... This will work for me, but I guess its not practicable for daily business. Thank you,
cheers

Try Search for ABAP Tokens in Search Functions of Code Inspector (Tcode SCI).

Sorry, cant find this within the transaction. Did I missed something?
thanks,
cheers

Dear Lawrence,
you can try transaction CODE_SCANNER. It is renamed to ABAP search in newer releases. This searches in ABAP Sources only. Probably in generated WD interfaces/classes also. The WD and FPM configurations are however XML files as far as I know,so I do not think, there is any program, which does such kind of search. Regarding BSP, where the controllers are ABAP classes, so you'll find probably what you want. The pages and scripts I do not know, maybe these are stored in MIME repository somewhere.
Regards
Attila

cant search in WDA e.g., doesnt help. As I mentioned I need to search all kinds of applications. Will also run in time out exception by regular use, seems needs also background processing. Thank you anyway
