Sometimes there might be scenarios wherein we need to format the report programs according to some specific conditions.Abap provides wide scope for performing these kinds of operations.

Some examples:

1. If we need to delete all program which has been created by specific user or program created in between specific time or date.

2. While transporting objects from development system to productions system, if we need to check operation via Unicode Check then we can filter out program which was not initially done with Unicode check. Later after making them as ‘Unicode checked programs’ we can run the same on different systems to make sure that we get the perfect output.

3. Combining fields of table dd03l with table reposrc, we can programmatically delete a table , data element , domain which is not being used by other tables and which has been created by some author.

4. Segregating active programs and inactive program.

Note: d010sinf, progdir are the views of reposrc.
