Why you should care

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text pl=”0″ pr=”0″ pt=”0″ pb=”0″]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.

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.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text pl=”0″ pr=”0″ pt=”0″ pb=”0″]

How we detect

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text pl=”0″ pr=”0″ pt=”0″ pb=”0″]This code insight checks all Abap artifacts containing nested loops. These are:
– LOOP … ENDLOOP
– DO … ENDDO
– WHILE … ENDWHILE
– PROVIDE … ENDPROVIDE
