SAP ABAP

ABAP code previously causing syntax errors during an analysis is now supported. For a full list, see Technology coverage changes in CAST AIP 8.3.x.

• is still specialized by technology and quality rule
• is specialized for each method parameter

A list of libraries automatically taken in to account for Sanitzation is available in User Input Security - predefined methods.

Now a new filter check box called "<LINK> Only" has been added for all link types with sub links:
