CHECK_17 - Definitions in top of routine

Check that DATA and other definitions are in top of routine(FORM/METHOD). Traditionally variables are declared at top of modularization block.

See https://help.sap.com/doc/abapdocu_750_index_htm/7.50/en-US/abenlocal_declar_guidl.htm

Example:

FORM foo.
  gv_moo = 2.
  DATA: lv_bar TYPE i.
  ....
ENDFORM.

should be changed to

FORM foo.
  DATA: lv_bar TYPE i.
  gv_moo = 2.
  ....
ENDFORM.

Note: this check allows for customizing the order of TYPE, DEFINE, CONSTANT, STATIC and FIELD-SYMBOL declarations
