ABAP efficiency question

Hi
I have an internal table of the type STRING which may contain thousands of records and I am trying to get to lines which starts with a set of characters. There may be a few lines starting with that sequence and it is possible to do what I have shown below, however, is there a more efficient way to do this?
Ideally what I would like to do is to find the lines or the index (SY-TABIX) using LOOP AT.......WHERE....My current way of doing it is not the best. Any ideas?
DATA t_spooltext TYPE TABLE OF string. "contains thousands of lines
DATA l_text(200) TYPE c.
DATA l_index     TYPE i.
LOOP AT t_spooltext INTO DATA(l_current_line).
  CONDENSE l_current_line.
  l_text = l_current_line.
  IF l_text+0(5) EQ 'H046A'.
    l_index = sy-tabix.
    ELSE
        CONTINUE.
  ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.

Sharath,
Fixing what you posted, I add the sample code below:
   REPORT  z_test.
DATA: t_spooltext TYPE TABLE OF string,
      results_tab TYPE TABLE OF match_result.
DO 10 TIMES.
  APPEND 'H046A' TO t_spooltext.
ENDDO.
DO 3 TIMES.
  APPEND 'H046B' TO t_spooltext.
ENDDO.
FIND ALL OCCURRENCES OF 'H046A'
IN TABLE t_spooltext
IN CHARACTER MODE
RESULTS results_tab.
BREAK-POINT.
Archana, in my point of view the user Sharath are correctly, only thing you have to watch is the form that is set to result table, as I showed above

    Hi
    1. How data is stored in cluster table?
    Each field of cluster table behaves as tables which contains the no. of entries.
    2. What are client dependant objects in abap/sap?
    SAP Script layout, text element, and some DDIC objects.
    3. On which even we can validate the input fields in module progams?
    In PAI (Write field statement on field you want to validate, if you want to validate group of fields put in chain and End chain statement.)
    4. In selection screen I have three fields, plant mat no and material group. If I input plant how do I get the mat no and material group based on plant dynamically?
    AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR MATERIAL.
    CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST' to get material and material group for the plant.
    5. How do you get output from IDOC?
    Data in IDOc is stored in segments, the output from Idoc is obtained by reading the data stored in its respective segments.
    6. When top of the page event is triggered?
    After excuteing first write statement in start-of-selection event.
    7. Can we create field without data element and how?
    In SE11 one option is available above the fields strip. Data element/ direct type.
    8. How do we debug sapscript?
    Go to SE71 give lay set name , go to utilities select debugger mode on.
    9. Which transaction code can I used to analyze the performance of ABAP program.
    TCode AL21.
    10. How can I copy a standard table to make my own z_table.
    Go to transaction SE11. Then there is one option to copy table. Press that button. Enter the name of the standard table and in the Target table enter Z table name and press enter.
    Following are some of the answers which I gave upto my knowledge.
    1. What is the use of 'outerjoin'
    Ans. With the use of outer join you can join the tables even there is no entry in all the tables used in the view.
    In case of inner join there should be an entry in al the tables use in the view.
    2. When to use logical database?
    Ans. Advantage of Logical databases:
    less coding s required to retrieve data compared to normal internel tables.
    Tables used LDB are in hierarchial structure.
    3. What is the use of 'table index'?
    Ans .Index is used for faster access of data base tables.
    4. What is the use of 'FOR ALL ENTRIES'?
    Ans. To avoid nested select statements we use SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES statement.
    If there r more than 10000 records SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES is used.
    Performance wise SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES is better to use.
    5. Can you set up background processing using CALL TRANSACTION?
    Yes,Using No Screen Mode.
    6. What are table buffers?
    Table buffers reside locally on each application server in the system. The data of buffered tables can thus be accessed
    directly from the buffer of the application server. This avoids the time-consuming process of accessing the database.
    Buffering is useful if table needs to be accessed more no. of times in a program.

    Deepti
    1. There are other ways of entering data into a DB table. ex. B D C
    2. Collect statement collect/adds the records basing on a key field. allows to create summarised data sets.
    Append will append/add a record at the end of existing records
    8. to release an object - use se10/se9
    9. sales doc flow: S. A. - S. O. - Delivery - Billing
    12. Delivery - invoice.
    15. field symbols are used for dynamic allocation. at runtime u can assign a concrete field to field-symbol.
    Kishore
    1. you can go to abap editor (se38) and use insert statement for insertion update for update and modify for modifications.
    2. collect will not allow duplicate entries, while append can allow duplicates.
    3. if any changes are made to objects they are to be transported to different systems i.e, change and transport.
    4. in user exits we go by general method for enhancements while BADIs we use objects (oops concepts)
    methods for enhancement.
    14. table controls are enhanced version for step loops where we can expand rows .main difference between these two
    is step loop can be expanded to two lines table controls can`t.
    15. field symbols are just like pointers concept which are used in C language. We use them when we want to refer to
    the fields considered,it doesnt allocate any memory for it.
    Venu Rapolu
    1. Ans: Using BDC., LSMW,,ALE., BAPI
    2. Ans: Collect: it adds the numeric fields to the existing non numeric key field records., thereby avoiding duplicate
    values., and append will simply adds the record
    3 . Ans: The CTS contains work bench organizer and transport system :
    The workbench organizer is used to record and contol changes to the ABAP/4 development objects;
    The transport system is used to move objects from an SAP dev.system to production system
    6. Ans: Outbound interface is used to send IDocs to the ALE server.,
    Inbound interface is used to Analyse the received Idoc.
    7. Ans: We (ABAPers) don't do.
    8. Ans: se09 or se10
    13. Ans: MATMAS
    CREMAS
    DEBMAS
    GLMAST etc...
    14. Ans: to display records in table format., we use in Screens
    15. Ans: we assign the field content at run time with ASSIGN stmt.
    Satish D
    1. goto se16 u can view the table contents
    2. collect will collects all the numeric fields of nonnumeric field values
    append will append record at the end of table
    3. when we are creatiing new task like dev. a new prg.. after completion of dev. that will be trnsported to testing system or production system to do that we are assigning an
    transport request from our dev.class(system) by using se09
    4. badis are dev. by class and inheritence methods where as user exitsdev by SAP only and empty shells filled wit user logic
    5. go to system then status
    6. outbound generating an idoc in ale layer with master_idoc_create_messgetype,
    inbound is receivng system with idoc_inbound_process, gives an return variable wether it is sucess or not
    7. no we have to configur that
    8. go to se09 or se01 there write your task no and use release button it will asks whats the other system name
    and number enter them and relase by pressing jeep button
    9. inquiry
    quotation
    sales order
    shipping
    delivery
    invoice
    return goods
    12. after creation of delivry note invoice is prepared
    13. master_idoc_distribute will generate standard idoc
    Deepti
    I am enclosing some of answers which I know.
    1. We can use t.Code SE16 to enter values into table only if table maintainence is allowed for that table.
    2. Append will add new entries into the table where as collect add into the numeric type fields if other charatcer fields
    matches to your selection criteria.
    3. CTS used for creation of ABAP development transport requests.The transaction code for this is SE10.
    4. UserExits r used for adding additional functionality to the existing SAP standard transactions.Using UserExits we can add additional functionality standard SAP functionality without making any changes to the original code.BADI is a standardized interface for ABAP sources that enables partners and customers to enhance SAP-delivered programs in their namespace.
    5 .We can identify User exits by using transactions CMOD and SMOD.
    6. After entering transaction code SE10 select the transport request which u want to transport and click on transport icon(Truck symbol) to release it.
    10. Purchase Requistion->RFQ->Vendor Evaluation->Purchase Order(ME21).
    14. Table control is the only facility provide thru dialog programming when we come acrosse the use of updating standared,deletion,insertion and all database operations.
    15. Field symbols r pointers to the existing data types(like 'C') which does not allocate any memory space. These are used faster access of data.
    Answers to some ABAP Interview Questions:
    Questions which I have faced in an interview:
    1) What is runtime analysis? Have you used this?
    2) What is meant by performance analysis? Have done anything to improve the performance?
    3) How to transfer the objects? Have to transferred any objects?
    4) How did you test the developed objects?
    5) What is the difference between SAP Memory and ABAP Memory?
    6) In order to upload Purchase order details, how you handle multiple values for a single field?
    Eg: Item field may contain no. of values for a record
    7) What is the procedure you followed to upload the data?
    8) How did you handle errors in Call Transaction?
    9) Among the Call Transaction and Session Method, which is faster?
    10) What are the difference between Interactive and Drill Down Reports?
    11) How to pass the variables to forms?
    12) How to create a link between modified form and modified print program?
    13) What is the table, which contain the details of all the name of the programs and forms?
    14) How did you test the form u developed? How did you taken print?
    15) What are Standard Texts?
    16) What is the difference between Clustered Tables and Pooled Tables?
    17) What is pf-status?
    18) Among "Move" and "Move Corresponding", which is efficient one?
    19) What are the output type and Tcodes?
    20) Where we use Chain and Endchain?
    21) Do you use select statement in loop endloop, how will be the performance? To improve the performance?
    22) In select-options, how to get the default values as current month first date and last date by default?
    Eg: 1/12/2004 and 31/12/2004
    Go thru these answers:
    1) What is runtime analysis? Have you used this?
    It's checks program execution time in microseconds. When you go to se30.if you give desired program name in performance file. It will take you to below screen. You can get how much past is your program.
    2) What is meant by performance analysis? Have done
    3) How to transfer the objects? Have you transferred any objects?
    4) How did you test the developed objects?
    I was testing a developed object. There are two types of testing
    - Negative testing
    - Positive testing
    In negative testing we will give negative data in input and we check any errors occurs.
    In positive testing we will give positive data in input for checking errors.
    8) How did you handle errors in Call Transaction?
    We can create a internal table like 'bsgmcgcoll'. All the messages will go to internal table. We can get errors in this internal table.
    Below messages are go to internal table. when you run the call transaction.
    - Message type
    - Message id
    - Message Number
    - Variable1
    - Variable2
    - Variable3
    9) Among the Call Transaction and Session Method, which is faster?
    Call transaction is faster then session method. But usually we use session method in real time...because we can transfer large amount of data from internal table to database and if any errors in a session. Process will not complete until session get correct.
    10) What are the difference between Interactive and Drill Down Reports?
    ABAP/4 provides some interactive events on lists such as AT LINE-SELECTION (double click) or AT USER-COMMAND (pressing a button). You can use these events to move through layers of information about individual items in a list.
    Drill down report is nothing but interactive report...drilldown means above paragraph only.
    11) How to pass the variables to forms?
    12) What is the table, which contain the details of all the name of the programs and forms?
    Table contains vertical and horizontal lines. We can store the data in table as blocks. We can scroll depends upon your wish. And these all are stored in database (data dictionary).
    Which contain the details of all the name of the programs and forms? (I don't know).
    13) How did you test the form u developed? How did you taken print?
    14) What are Standard Texts?
    16) What is the difference between Clustered Tables and Pooled Tables?
    A pooled table is used to combine several logical tables in the ABAP/4 dictionary. Pooled tables are logical tables that must be assigned to a table pool when they are defined.
    Cluster table are logical tables that must be assigned to a table cluster when they are defined.
    Cluster table can be used to store control data they can also used to store temporary data or text such as documentation.
    17) What is pf-status?
    Pf status is used in interactive report for enhancing the functionality. If we go to se41, we can get menus, items and different function keys, which we are using for secondary list in interactive report.
    18) Among "Move" and "Move Corresponding", which is efficient one?
    I guess, 'move corresponding' is very efficient then 'move' statement. Because usually we use this stamtent for internal table fields only...so if we give move corresponding. Those fields only moving to other place (what ever you want).
    19) What are the output type and Tcodes?
    20) Where we use Chain and End chain?
    21) Do you use select statement in loop end loop, how will be the performance? To improve the performance?
    22) In select-options, how to get the default values as current month first date and last date by default?
    Eg: 1/12/2004 and 31/12/2004
    SAP ABAP interview questions
    Thanks to the reader who sent in this question set:
    1. What is an ABAP data dictionary?- ABAP 4 data dictionary describes the logical structures of the objects used in application development and shows how they are mapped to the underlying relational database in tables/views.
    2. What are domains and data element?- Domains:Domain is the central object for describing the technical characteristics of an attribute of an business objects. It describes the value range of the field. Data Element: It is used to describe the semantic definition of the table fields like description the field. Data element describes how a field can be displayed to end-user.
    3. What is foreign key relationship?- A relationship which can be defined between tables and must be explicitly defined at field level. Foreign keys are used to ensure the consistency of data. Data entered should be checked against existing data to ensure that there are now contradiction. While defining foreign key relationship cardinality has to be specified. Cardinality mentions how many dependent records or how referenced records are possible.
    4. Describe data classes.- Master data: It is the data which is seldomly changed. Transaction data: It is the data which is often changed. Organization data: It is a customizing data which is entered in the system when the system is configured and is then rarely changed. System data:It is the data which R/3 system needs for itself.
    5. What are indexes?- Indexes are described as a copy of a database table reduced to specific fields. This data exists in sorted form. This sorting form ease fast access to the field of the tables. In order that other fields are also read, a pointer to the associated record of the actual table are included in the index. Yhe indexes are activated along with the table and are created automatically with it in the database.
    6. Difference between transparent tables and pooled tables.- Transparent tables: Transparent tables in the dictionary has a one-to-one relation with the table in database. Its structure corresponds to single database field. Table in the database has the same name as in the dictionary. Transparent table holds application data. Pooled tables. Pooled tables in the dictionary has a many-to-one relation with the table in database. Table in the database has the different name as in the dictionary. Pooled table are stored in table pool at the database level.
    7. What is an ABAP/4 Query?- ABAP/4 Query is a powerful tool to generate simple reports without any coding. ABAP/4 Query can generate the following 3 simple reports: Basic List: It is the simple reports. Statistics: Reports with statistical functions like Average, Percentages. Ranked Lists: For analytical reports. - For creating a ABAP/4 Query, programmer has to create user group and a functional group. Functional group can be created using with or without logical database table. Finally, assign user group to functional group. Finally, create a query on the functional group generated.
    8. What is BDC programming?- Transferring of large/external/legacy data into SAP system using Batch Input programming. Batch input is a automatic procedure referred to as BDC(Batch Data Communications).The central component of the transfer is a queue file which receives the data vie a batch input programs and groups associated data into “sessions”.
    9. What are the functional modules used in sequence in BDC?- These are the 3 functional modules which are used in a sequence to perform a data transfer successfully using BDC programming: BDC_OPEN_GROUP - Parameters like Name of the client, sessions and user name are specified in this functional modules. BDC_INSERT - It is used to insert the data for one transaction into a session. BDC_CLOSE_GROUP - This is used to close the batch input session.
    10. What are internal tables?- Internal tables are a standard data type object which exists only during the runtime of the program. They are used to perform table calculations on subsets of database tables and for re-organising the contents of database tables according to users need.
    11. What is ITS? What are the merits of ITS?- ITS is a Internet Transaction Server. ITS forms an interface between HTTP server and R/3 system, which converts screen provided data by the R/3 system into HTML documents and vice-versa. Merits of ITS: A complete web transaction can be developed and tested in R/3 system. All transaction components, including those used by the ITS outside the R/3 system at runtime, can be stored in the R/3 system. The advantage of automatic language processing in the R/3 system can be utilized to language-dependent HTML documents at runtime.
    12. What is DynPro?- DynPro is a Dynamic Programming which is a combination of screen and the associated flow logic Screen is also called as DynPro.
    13. What are screen painter and menu painter?- Screen painter: Screen painter is a tool to design and maintain screen and its elements. It allows user to create GUI screens for the transactions. Attributes, layout, filed attributes and flow logic are the elements of Screen painter. Menu painter: Menu painter is a tool to design the interface components. Status, menu bars, menu lists, F-key settings, functions and titles are the components of Menu painters. Screen painter and menu painter both are the graphical interface of an ABAP/4 applications.
    14. What are the components of SAP scripts?- SAP scripts is a word processing tool of SAP which has the following components: Standard text. It is like a standard normal documents. Layout sets. - Layout set consists of the following components: Windows and pages, Paragraph formats, Character formats. Creating forms in the R/3 system. Every layout set consists of Header, paragraph, and character string. ABAP/4 program.
    15. What is ALV programming in ABAP? When is this grid used in ABAP?- ALV is Application List viewer. Sap provides a set of ALV (ABAP LIST VIEWER) function modules which can be put into use to embellish the output of a report. This set of ALV functions is used to enhance the readability and functionality of any report output. Cases arise in sap when the output of a report contains columns extending more than 255 characters in length. In such cases, this set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange the different columns from a report output and also save different variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output. The report output can contain up to 90 columns in the display with the wide array of display options.
    16. What are the events in ABAP/4 language?- Initialization, At selection-screen, Start-of-selection, end-of-selection, top-of-page, end-of-page, At line-selection, At user-command, At PF, Get, At New, At LAST, AT END, AT FIRST.
    17. What is CTS and what do you know about it?- The Change and Transport System (CTS) is a tool that helps you to organize development projects in the ABAP Workbench and in Customizing, and then transport the changes between the SAP Systems and clients in your system landscape. This documentation provides you with an overview of how to manage changes with the CTS and essential information on setting up your system and client landscape and deciding on a transport strategy. Read and follow this documentation when planning your development project.
    18. What are logical databases? What are the advantages/ dis-advantages of logical databases?- To read data from a database tables we use logical database. A logical database provides read-only access to a group of related tables to an ABAP/4 program. Advantages: i)check functions which check that user input is complete, correct,and plausible. ii)Meaningful data selection. iii)central authorization checks for database accesses. iv)good read access performance while retaining the hierarchical data view determined by the application logic. dis advantages: i)If you donot specify a logical database in the program attributes,the GET events never occur. ii)There is no ENDGET command,so the code block associated with an event ends with the next event statement (such as another GET or an END-OF-SELECTION).
    19. What is a batch input session?- BATCH INPUT SESSION is an intermediate step between internal table and database table. Data along with the action is stored in session ie data for screen fields, to which screen it is passed, program name behind it, and how next screen is processed.
    20. How to upload data using CATT ?- These are the steps to be followed to Upload data through CATT: Creation of the CATT test case & recording the sample data input. Download of the source file template. Modification of the source file. Upload of the data from the source file.
    21. What is Smart Forms?- Smart Forms allows you to create forms using a graphical design tool with robust functionality, color, and more. Additionally, all new forms developed at SAP will be created with the new Smart Form solution.
    22. How can I make a differentiation between dependent and independent data?- Client dependent or independent transfer requirements include client specific or cross client objects in the change requests. Workbench objects like SAPscripts are client specific, some entries in customizing are client independent. If you display the object list for one change request, and then for each object the object attributes, you will find the flag client specific. If one object in the task list has this flag on, then that transport will be client dependent.
    23. What is the difference between macro and subroutine? - Macros can only be used in the program the are defined in and only after the definition are expanded at compilation / generation. Subroutines (FORM) can be called from both the program the are defined in and other programs . A MACRO is more or less an abbreviation for some lines of code that are used more than once or twice. A FORM is a local subroutine (which can be called external). A FUNCTION is (more or less) a subroutine that is called external. Since debugging a MACRO is not really possible, prevent the use of them (I’ve never used them, but seen them in action). If the subroutine is used only local (called internal) use a FORM. If the subroutine is called external (used by more than one program) use a FUNCTION.

  • Efficiency Question - Cutting Clips

    Efficiency Question - Cutting Clips.
    So I was wondering if there is a better way to cut my clips that I am not using. Basically I often have large long clips of raw footage that I cut down to the usable segments. Each raw file may be over an hour long and have 100s of small segments of live commentary, often I find I am cutting out slightly to long pauses in the talking and other stuff before I have a clip ready to send to the main edit.
    Anyway, often I am zoomed will in so I can edit, and I press C, make a cut.. then make another a bit further up, press V, click on the segment I just cut out.. press delete and then click on and move the rest of the raw clip to the left to bump up where I made the first cut, often needing to zoom well out and then back in again to continue editing.
    Is there a better way to do this? So I do not need to zoom in and out all the time... is there a way to delete a chunk of video form the sequence and have the clip automatically "close the gap" for me?
    --Thanks

    I would take the Source Clip into the Source Monitor.
    Mark an In Point  ("I")  where the good content starts...and an Out Point ("O")  where the good content stops.
    Hit "," to Insert it to the Sequence.
    Back to Source Monitor and repeat for the next section of good content in the same Source Clip..
    No gaps . Done
    Then ..if necessary...I would play thru  the Sequence and do Trim Edits at the editpoints.
    Many different ways to "skin the cat" at Trim stage.
    Alternatively in the first part:
    I would take the Source Clip into the Source Monitor.
    Mark an In Point ("I") where the good content starts...and an Out Point ("O") where the good content stops.
    CTRL-Drag to the Program Monitor.

  • HR-ABAP basic questions

    1) What is the reason for using infotypes with different way(not the same way as in ABAP) of saving the records the database is used in the ABAP-HR Programming?
    2) What is the some reason for using Logical Database more ABAP-HR?
    3) What is the reason for using precoded macro's in ABAP-HR?

    Matt,
      I am trying to learn ABAP-HR and found that many things that sound different in HR-ABAP can be achieved through normal ABAP below are the some
        1) Infotypes - I had read some where that records get saved horizantally (record1 record2 record3) instead in a vertial save ( record1
                                                          recordn).
           Why is that this type of database design is adapted. Ofcourse these are called repeate structures I guess.
           Why is that infotype need to have self built database table, internal table and structure?
           This is being already handled in Normal ABAP by creating internal table refering database table/structure.
          So my 1st question in the previous to know what is making infotype different than normal way of having a internal table.
        2) Macro - is the precoded select query but that is already coded in TRMAC. My question over this when we can have select query what is the need for the precoded stuff?.
          For example why to have "RP-READ-INFOTYPE" on some Infotype when this can done through  Select * from TABLE pA0*** where field1 = 'xxxx'  .
    Any ways Thanks for your response,I have 2 years of experience in ABAP and want to shift my self to ABAP-HR. I always try to have strong foundation/understanding of the basics and post the questions to know the differents views (approach of thinking of other ABAPER's). Many times the response provide me very...very valuable stuff and this is the frist time  that I have a response that is different from Grath & Sameer. But I guess any response that posted to question which is related always related to  ABAP is definitely going to be helpful in one or the other way (may for having good understanding  or for preinterview..or some thing else) . 
          If the post is found to be non sense there is responsible person "MODERATOR" to block the post. I Dont know what made these two guys bother them much.
         That's great! that you gave me a repsonse that I was always expecting

  • ABAP Certification questions

    Hi,
    2 questions on ABAP certification:
    1)  Are there any courses that are MANDATORY prior to taking the certification exam?  In other words, could I take the exam without having taken any formal courses if I should choose to do so?
    2)  What is the cost in USD to take the exam?
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi Andrew,
    This question should be rather posted at [SAP Certified Professionals|SAP Certification;, but I htink moderators will move that for you.
    As for the questions:
    1) There is no mandatory course, only recommended ones. If you feel strong enough with basics you don't need to take any of these. What SAP suggests is to accomplish TAW10, TAW11, TAW12 courses (depending on cert.exam you want to take). Either ABAP Developer for SAP Netweaver 2004 or latest one ABAP Developer for SAP Netweaver 7.0. Both are mostly covered in mentioned courses. Second one just requires some WEB dynpro knowledge and Unicode. You don't have to attend any of them, just look for the meterials and get prepared with them. TAW10 and TAW12 can be easily found in net, TAW11 is hard to get, but still you can learn from other SAP materials covering same topics.
    2) I don't know the cost in US, in Poland it cost me around $650 for Associate exam.
    Check directly on http://www.sap.com/usa/services/education/certification/index.epx for pricing and further details.
    Good luck!

I can think of two approaches - one is to simply write a simple Java DC that does so and just use it as a used DC so I can call the functionality from there. Or create another WD DC that exposes the value (as binary) via component interface.
    I'm leaning on the simple Java DC approach - its easier to create. But I'm just curious on what would be the Pro-side (if there's any) if I use the WD Component interface approach? Is there a plus for the efficiency? (Though I doubt) Or is it just a 'best/recommended practice' approach?
    Thanks!
    Regards,
    Jan

    Hi Jan
    >one is to simply write a simple Java DC that does so and just use it as a used DC so I can call the functionality from there
    Implemented Java  API for the purpose mentioned in your question is the right way, I think. The Java API can be even located in the same WebDynpro DC as your WebDynpro components. There is not strongly necessity to put it into separate Java DC.
    >Or create another WD DC that exposes the value (as binary) via component interface
    You should not do this because in general WD components' purpose is UI, not API. Implementing WD component without any UI, but with some component interface has very-very restricted use cases. Such WD component shall only be a choice in the cases when the API is WebDynpro based and if you have to strongly use WebDynpro Runtime API in order to implement your own API.
    If your API does not require WebDynpro Runtime API invocations or anything else related to WebDynpro then your choice is simple Java API.
    >But I'm just curious on what would be the Pro-side (if there's any) if I use the WD Component interface approach? Is there a plus for the efficiency?
    No. Performance will be better in simple Java API then in WebDynpro component interface. The reason is the API will not pass thought heavy WebDynpro engine.

  • ABAP Loop Question for next record

    Hello All, I am new to ABAP so please forgive this basic question. The below is a snippet of code I have in a ABAP Proxy.
    Here is a snippet of my code:
    DATA: ls_item    TYPE ZSHOPPING_CART_IN_BBP_PDS_SC_I.
    DATA: i_item     TYPE TABLE OF bbp_pds_sc_item_icu.
    DATA: w_item     TYPE bbp_pds_sc_item_icu.
    LOOP AT input-I_ITEM-item INTO ls_item.
        CLEAR w_item.
        w_item-guid = v_item_guid.
        w_item-parent = v_header_guid.
        w_item-description = ls_item-description.
        w_item-number_int = ls_item-number_int.
        w_item-category = ls_item-category.
        w_item-category_id = ls_item-category_id.
        w_item-product_type = ls_item-product_type.
      APPEND w_item TO i_item.
      ENDLOOP.
    The structure input-I_ITEM-item is an input from a ABAP Proxy. This all works great if I feed in only 1 line item to proxy, but if I send in two line items the result is i_item has line item 1 twice, and I get nothing for line item2. It is almost like the the loop runs twice but the ls_item stays on line 1. I am sure I am missing something simple.

    Here is a snippet of the XML I am sending to ABAP proxy:
    <I_ITEM>
         <item>
              <GUID>00000000000000000000000000055556</GUID>
              <PARENT>00000000000000000000000000055555</PARENT>

  • ABAP Mapping Questions

    Hi,
    I am trying to get my head around ABAP mappings and have a few questions.
    In the below code sample which I find in every example and blog it talks about specific steps -
    *initialize iXML, * create iXML factory object, * create streamfactory object, * create input stream object, * initialize the input xml document, * parse the input xml document
    In these steps the code is always exactly the same so my question is are these just standard steps that are implemented every single time an abap mapping is used and hence only standard lines that never have to be changed or will they be different depending on the mapping.
    I am trying to work out where I will begin my coding.
    So would somebody be so kind as to give me a brief explanation of the above mentioned steps.
    Thank you
    METHOD if_mapping~execute.
    * initialize iXML
      TYPE-POOLS: ixml.
      CLASS cl_ixml DEFINITION LOAD.
    * create iXML factory object
      DATA: ixmlfactory TYPE REF TO if_ixml.
      ixmlfactory = cl_ixml=>create( ).
    * create streamfactory object
      DATA: streamfactory TYPE REF TO
      if_ixml_stream_factory.
      streamfactory = ixmlfactory->create_stream_factory( ).
    * create input stream object
      DATA: istream TYPE REF TO if_ixml_istream.
      istream = streamfactory->create_istream_xstring( source ).
    * initialize the input xml document
      DATA: idocument TYPE REF TO if_ixml_document.
      idocument = ixmlfactory->create_document( ).
    * parse the input xml document
      DATA: iparser TYPE REF TO if_ixml_parser.
      iparser = ixmlfactory->create_parser(
      stream_factory = streamfactory
      istream = istream
      document = idocument ).
      iparser->parse( ).

    Hi,
         The above lines you mentioned deal with initialization of the iXML parser for parsing through the XML payload, so they would remain the same for all mapping where you are parsing the input payload.
    The coding for you specific mapping will begin after this, something like :
    * Implements the DOM generating interface to the parser
      iparser->parse( ).
      emp_node_collection = idocument->get_elements_by_tag_name_ns( name = 'Order' ).
      emp_node_length = emp_node_collection->get_length( ).
      emp_node_iterator = emp_node_collection->create_iterator( ).
    where you start reading the xml node values.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards

  • ABAP Guys Question from JDEdwards ??

    Hi all,
    I am trying to get into SAP, now the releases R3 4.6 and SAP Web server NetWeaver are confusing me.
    NetWeaver is the latest technology , my question is
    1- the DeveloperStudio "NetWeaver" will it be the Development platform for SAP in the future, or its just limited to certain need for WebServer and web applications only.
    As you know the new ORACLE product "FUSION" is totally web based.
    Is SAP future updates and new SAP products will be the <u>same WebBased</u> ?? in other words the next update of 4.6 will be 6.00 "NetWeaver".
    Or am I mixing apples with Oranges ??
    I am trying to get into SAP and learn it , but i  dont want to put my efforts on something thats going to change.
    Any explenation is highly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    You asked:
    <b>1- the DeveloperStudio "NetWeaver" will it be the Development platform for SAP in the future, or its just limited to certain need for WebServer and web applications only.</b>
    The simple answer is YES, it is the development platform for SAP in future. Support for development of web applications is only one of the many features it provides. It provides full support to develop applications using ABAP language (there is an Eclipse-based version for JAVA as well). Take a look at https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/a1-8-4/sap netweaver developers guide.booklet for further details on SAP NetWeaver Development Studio.
    <b>2. Is SAP future updates and new SAP products will be the same WebBased ?? in other words the next update of 4.6 will be 6.00 "NetWeaver".
    </b>
    The current release of SAP Web Application Server is 6.40. As the name itself tells, support for the WEB is native in all releases since 6.10. Prior to that, you had to look for options like ITS, Business Connector, etc to web-enable your R/3 applications. Now, since the introduction of ICM (Internet Communication Manager), ICF (Internet Communication Framework), SAP Web Dispatcher, you can enable any SAP application for Web.
    Hope this helps. Do get back with questions if you have any more.

  • Abap memory question

    hi,guys,i did a example to test the difference between sap memory and abap memory,the result that i did program zmemory1 is : 1111  2223,
    but the question is when i did program zmemory2 alone,the result is the same,why i can get test2 with
    import statement in different session,below is my code,
    thxs in advance!
    REPORT  zmemory1.
    DATA : test1(10) TYPE c,
           test2(10) TYPE c.
    test1 = '1111'.
    test2 = '2223'.
    FREE MEMORY ID 'TEST2'.
    SET PARAMETER ID 'TEST1' FIELD test1.
    EXPORT test2 TO MEMORY ID 'TEST2'.
    CALL TRANSACTION 'ZMEMORY2'.
    REPORT  zmemory2.
    DATA: test1(10) TYPE c,
          test2(10) TYPE c.
    GET PARAMETER ID 'TEST1' FIELD test1 .
    IMPORT test2 FROM MEMORY ID 'TEST2'.
    WRITE:/ test1,test2.

    Hello Kevin,
    You can retest the whole thing again.
    Execute your program ZMEMORY_1 in which you have chosen EXPORT TO MEMORY-ID -> This will store the value you want to, to a memory space created by name as specified by you.
    Execute your Program ZMEMORY_2 in which you have chosen IMPORT FROM MEMORY-ID -> This will get the value you have stored in the memory ID.
    In the case you execute the program separately you will not be able to get the value you have stored in memory.
    In case you have executed/submitted the program ZMEMORY_2 in program ZMEMORY_1 you will be able to get the values stored in the memory ID.
    Please note that Garbage Collector collects/clears the memory as soon as session is ended. May be in some case it would not have been triggred before the execution of the program, I am taking a case on my assumption but generally it does not happens and Garbage Collector does it job well :-).
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • ABAP Unit question

    Hello,
    I am new to ABAP unit, and not really sure on how I can execute one ABAP unit test script.
    Let's say I have the below code (extracted from SAPBC401_PRJD_ABAP_UNIT program in SAP ECC 6.0 system (SP9).
    **& Report  SAPBC401_PRJD_ABAP_UNIT

    If I just execute the above code using F8, I believe nothing is executed right?
    I tried to append the below code, but it is also only executing the method in that particular class (not in the test case class).
    start-of-selection.
    myclass=>set_text_to_x( ).
    Please help me to start...
