Generate Program whith Pretty Printer Automatically

Question

I've generated a program via INSERT REPORT ....

I would like to know if there is way to apply the Pretty Printer tool on this program automatically.

Answer 1

Basis 7.50:

On pretty printing the ABAP editor calls pg_pretty_print FORM in program LLOCAL_EDT1F08. It calls the format_source method of cl_sedi_pretty_printer which runs the FM PRETTY_PRINTER inside it.

Basis 7.40 and before:

On pretty printing the ABAP editor calls pg_pretty_print FORM in program LLOCAL_EDT1F08. It calls the FM PRETTY_PRINTER inside it.

The common thing is PRETTY_PRINTER. If you debug it and you check the parameters, you can see that otext (old source) goes in ntext (pretty printed) comes out. So you can pretty print the source code before saving it.
