Why you should care
If the amount of data is large, nested loops are fully avoided due to performance issues. If the program is extracting small amount of data, then focus on SELECT statements than nested loops.
The indexed loop and READ statement using binary search are the best methods to avoid performance issues.
The indexed loop and READ statement using binary search are the best methods to avoid performance issues.
Business Impacts
Nested Loops can greatly reduce the innovative potential of the code because it negatively impacts performance.

CAST Recommendations
Reduce the total number of parameters by subdividing your functions into more specialized and granular artifacts.
How we detect
This code insight checks all Abap artifacts containing nested loops. These are:
– LOOP … ENDLOOP
– DO … ENDDO
– WHILE … ENDWHILE
– PROVIDE … ENDPROVIDE
– LOOP … ENDLOOP
– DO … ENDDO
– WHILE … ENDWHILE
– PROVIDE … ENDPROVIDE
