FORM Routine Usage Check

What is the intent of the check?

This check searches for the usage of form subroutines since this concept became obsolete with the release of object-oriented ABAP.

How does the check work?

This check searches for ENDFORM. statements.

How to solve the issue?

Use classes and methods instead as these are the intended tool for modularization in object-oriented ABAP.

What to do in case of exception?

In exceptional cases, you can suppress this finding by using the pseudo comment "#EC CI_FORM which should be placed right after the FORM declaration:

FORM my_form. "#EC CI_FORM
  " Form content
ENDFORM.
