Amusing Comments

[Former Member]

I found the following comment in standard SAP code (LATPCFA6) which made me laugh ( I presume he went mad trying to debug the ATP check 😛 )

• these are the adventures of the new spaceship BERID;

• she intrudes into MRP areas where no man has gone before;

Anybody else seen any amusing comments?

Not exactly a comment, but I got a chuckle out of it (include LCURAFIN):

WHEN OTHERS.
      MESSAGE a001 WITH ';-)'.

It is a sy-marky case, which is obsolete... so I guess that smiley class is never going to be found anyway.

The same program also performs this subroutine:

FORM TEMP_WORKAROUND_NO_DUMP                              "begin 205349
                    using ev_no_dump type x_flag.

  clear ev_no_dump.
* ev_no_dump = 'X'.

* delete comment to prevent the dump
* this is only a temporary modification

ENDFORM.               " TEMP_WORKAROUND_NO_DUMP            "end 205349

Those where the days of self-healing repairs and planned workarounds...

Cheers,

And we developers are always worried about EXCEPTION handling

See include LSHI0F02 line 189 FORM baustelle.

ps: "Baustelle" is a German word meaning "Construction Site", in this case one which made it past the architect but not the building inspector...

And what happens if a SAP customer has SAP users called TONHAEUSER or ACKERMANN ?

This is crazy that this kind of source code can make its way up to the customers systems...

[ThomasZloch]

Deutsche Bank runs SAP and has a Mr. Ackermann, but he probably has his slaves for the daily G/L postings

Hi,

check out line number 308(or 309 I think) in the report RCIFCUST

That is a good one! You have to wonder how many of these are hidden throughout the code. Maybe there is a treasure map hidden in there somewhere!

Hi Ravi,

On that theme check out the the table entitled "Promotion themes, IS-R". I fear we may be in danger of filling this up with some SDN members.

Here's one I noticed when researching a question a couple of days back - it's in include LWOST_CR_IMG01FNG

* we need to trigger and error message !
* Otherwise we end up in FI hell.

and there's some chat in SAPMSSYD:

* G O L D E N  R U L E
* If you do not know, what a dynpro is:    HANDS OFF
* If you do not know, what a main step is: HANDS OFF

followed shortly after by

* N E V E R  prototype here. You may damage the system seriously.
* The worst case will lead to a system, where nobody can login.
* It will be your job, to spend the following night in your office
* to repair the system.

... sounds like the voice of experience...

Start

http://service.sap.com/notes

and search for "****", open the program corrections and see how much fantasy some developers have

I think I saw a list once - "Sheisse - das ist nicht moeglich" was on it I think.

[former_member583013]

Funny -:) I remember a post talking about that...But I can't remember which one was...There were like 6 standard programs with funny comments...

I kinda remember one...

* If you modify this program, you will be hunted by hundred of gargoyles...

Does anyone got that link???
