New, better “Pretty Printer” for Eclipse and as standalone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To avoid errors in the Clean ABAP check from the outset, the coding should be written directly according to the Clean ABAP Guidelines. However, to focus less on formatting and more on the actual problems, the ABAP Cleaner should be used. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Automated code adaptation according to the rules of the Clean ABAP Guideline<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The ABAP Cleaner automatically adapts coding to many points of the Clean ABAP Guideline. Lines are indented correctly, method calls are optimized and unused variables are marked. The ABAP Cleaner can therefore be regarded as a Pretty Printer with additional functions for Clean ABAP. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The great advantage of the ABAP Cleaner is that it is possible to fully configure which rules are to be adopted during automatic adaptation and which are not. So if a project does not want to adopt all the specifications from the Clean ABAP Guideline, certain rules can be excluded from the ABAP Cleaner. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Installation of the ABAP Cleaner for Eclipse or as a stand-alone version<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The ABAP Cleaner can be integrated into the ABAP Tools for Eclipse via GitHub or installed as a stand-alone version. With the stand-alone version, it is also possible to format coding from the SE80 using copy paste. In Eclipse, however, the features are fully integrated so that copying is not necessary. However, if you first want to carefully test how the code changes with the ABAP Cleaner, you can also copy the code into the stand-alone version first. Or you can use the built-in preview in the ABAP Cleaner (Interactive ABAP Cleaner). This shows which lines are affected by changes and visualizes them in two before and after windows. Here you can also configure which rules are to be applied and which are not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
