Improved ABAP Pretty Print program to beautify your code
Warning: Undefined variable $saptab in /customers/b/9/9/trailsap.com/httpd.www/page/loadpagefile.php on line 44This program is based on the program Beautify_Source_Code
but improved to include table~column half-line commenting. When executed the program will try and do the following improvements to the codes format:
- Attempts to move comments to the end of the line
- Adds comments (table name) for the tables listed after a TABLES statement if the line has not been commented already.
- Adds comments (field name) for data elements, parameters, and select-options that are defined using the LIKE or FOR statement
- For ENDLOOP/ENDSELECT adds comment identify the LOOP/SELECT that is being closed
- For FORM/ENDFORM adds comment identify the FORM that is being closed
- Calls function PRETTY_PRINTER to do the SAP standard pretty print
after the custom comments have been created
In order to use this application simple copy your desired code into the clipboard (should have survived syntax check) and execute this program. A beautiful version of the code will then be created in clipboard ready for pasting back.
One big advantage is that you can send for beautification only portions of code which can be vital when maintaining someone else's badly written/formatted code.
A big thank you to Jayanta for submitting this program to the sapdevelopment.co.uk web community. If you have any queries or suggestions then please feel free to contact Jayanta or myself.

*& Beautify ABAP Code Via Clip *
*&-------------------------------------------------------------*
* based on ideas from
* http:// sap.ionelburlacu .ro/abap/sap2/Beautify_Source_Code.html
* Author Jayanta Narayan Choudhuri
*---------------------------------------------------------------
* This program takes ABAP code in ClipBoard, and does the following:
* - Attempts to move comments to the end of the line
* - Adds comments (table name) for the tables listed after a TABLES
* statement if the line has not been commented already.
* - Adds comments (field name) for data elements, parameters, and
* select-options that are defined using the LIKE or FOR statement
* - For ENDLOOP/ENDSELECT adds comment identify the LOOP/SELECT
* that is being closed
* - For FORM/ENDFORM adds comment identify the FORM that is being
* closed
* - Calls function PRETTY_PRINTER to do the SAP standard pretty print
* after the custom comments have been created
* Returns Modified Code Via ClipBoard
