What does it do? This statement performs a
syntax check for the program specified in prog . prog must be a character-like data object which contains the name of an existing ABAP program. If the program specified does not exist, then sy-subrc is set to the value 8. The system uses the properties of the program specified for the syntax check. The additions MESSAGE , LINE , WORD and error_handling as well as the return values in sy-subrc are subject to the same rules as the statement SYNTAX-CHECK FOR itab
.

ABAP_ADDITION_1 ... REPLACING itab

What does it do? For itab you must specify a standard table without secondary keys of table type SREPTAB
with line type SREPTABLN from the ABAP Dictionary which contains a replacement list for the include programs specified in the program being checked. Each include program specified after INCLUDE in the program contained in
prog is searched for in the column NAME of the internal table. If the name is found, the syntax check does not include the specified include program but instead the source code contained in the table-like column SCR_INCLUDE . The properties used for the check are taken from the structure named in the column TRDIR .

ABAP_ADDITION_2 ... SHORTDUMP-ID sid

ABAP_ADDITION_3 ... TRACE-TABLE trt

ABAP_ADDITION_4 ... ID id TABLE idt

ABAP_ADDITION_5 ...FILTER flt

What does it do? These additions work as described in SYNTAX-CHECK - Internal Additions
