Deprecated Key Word Check

What is the Intent of the Check?

This check points out old syntax which should be replaced with newer notations instead.

How does the check work?

This check searches for deprecated key words like: MOVE and TRANSLATE and suggests its replacement to news notations/functions.

" MOVE 'A' TO variable.
DATA(variable) = 'A'.

" TRANSLATE lowercase TO UPPER CASE.
DATA(uppercase) = to_upper( lowercase ).

REMARK: The check will be continuously enhanced with other deprecated ABAP Keywords.

How to solve the issue?

Use the newer notations instead.

What to do in case of exception?

In exceptional cases, you can suppress this finding by using the pseudo comment "#EC DEPRECATED_KEY which should placed right after the statement:

MOVE ….  "#EC DEPRECATED_KEY

TRANSLATE …. "#EC DEPRECATED_KEY
