Effect
This statement performs a syntax check for the program specified in prog. prog must be a
character-like data
object that contains the name of an existing ABAP program. If the program specified does not exist,
sy-subrc is set to 8. The attributes of the specified program are used for
the syntax check. The additions MESSAGE, LINE,
WORD, and
error_handling as well as the return codes in sy-subrc are subject
to the same rules as the statement SYNTAX-CHECK FOR itab.
Addition 1
... REPLACING itab
Effect
itab specifies a standard table without secondary keys of table type
SREPTAB with the row type SREPTABLN from ABAP Dictionary, containing
a replacement list for the include programs specified in the checked program. Each include program specified
after INCLUDE in the program specified in prog
is found in the column NAME of the internal table. If the name is found, the syntax check includes the
source code referenced by the column SOURCE and not the specified include program. The attributes used for the check are taken from the structure referenced by the column TRDIR.
