Methods
Calls

Prefer functional to procedural calls

modify->update( node           = /clean/my_bo_c=>node-item
                key            = item->key
                data           = item
                changed_fields = changed_fields ).

instead of the needlessly longer

" anti-pattern
CALL METHOD modify->update
  EXPORTING
    node           = /dirty/my_bo_c=>node-item
    key            = item->key
    data           = item
    changed_fields = changed_fields.

If dynamic typing forbids functional calls, resort to the procedural style

CALL METHOD modify->(method_name)
  EXPORTING
    node           = /clean/my_bo_c=>node-item
    key            = item->key
    data           = item
    changed_fields = changed_fields.

Many of the related rules are just more specific variations of this advice.
