Effect
This statement performs a syntax check for the program specified in prog. prog must be a
character-like data
object which contains the name of an existing ABAP program. If the program specified does not exist,
then sy-subrc is set to the value 8. The system uses the properties of the
program specified for the syntax check. The additions MESSAGE, LINE, WORD and
error_handling as well as the return
values in sy-subrc are subject to the same rules as the statement SYNTAX-CHECK FOR itab.
Addition 1
... REPLACING itab
Effect
For itab you must specify a standard table without secondary keys of table
type SREPTAB with line type SREPTABLN from
the ABAP Dictionary which contains a replacement list for the include programs specified in the program
being checked. Each include program specified after INCLUDE in the program
contained in prog is searched for in the column NAME of the internal table.
If the name is found, the syntax check does not include the specified include program but instead the
source code contained in the table-like column SCR_INCLUDE. The properties used for the check are taken from the structure named in the column TRDIR.

... SHORTDUMP-ID sid
Addition 3
... TRACE-TABLE trt
Addition 4
