Code Pal for Clean ABAP

Does your own coding comply with the Clean ABAP guidelines?

The tool is freely available via GitHub and can be imported into SAP systems via abapGit. The check variant can be used to statically check some of the Clean ABAP guidelines, even for existing coding. However, the check variant cannot statically check all Clean ABAP guidelines, so that one check is not sufficient on its own. The check variant can be adapted in transaction SCI according to customer requirements and deviations from pure Clean ABAP. Exemption functions can also be set up.

Another version called “Code Pal for ABAP Cloud” is also available for cloud development. In the following, however, we will focus on the version for on-premise systems.

First, abapGit must be set up on the SAP system to be tested. Then a new project can be created with the Code Pal for Clean ABAP. This can look something like this:

ATC test variant for the code checks

Once the GitHub project has been imported into the system, a new ATC check variant can be created for the code checks via the code inspector (for example: Z_CLEAN_ABAP).
