ABAP_MODIFICATION_1 Introduction of Pragmas

As of Release 7.0, EhP2 , pragmas can be used to hide syntax check warnings from the ABAP Compiler and other check tools.


ABAP_MODIFICATION_2 Conversion of pseudo-comments

The pseudo-comments "#EC ... , which until now could be used to hide warnings from the extended program check , can and should be replaced by the ##... pragmas.
