ABAP Query: creation of local field (Subtraction between 2 dates)

Hi,
I want to create a local field which will calculate the number of days between 2 dates (for example, document date - posting date).
What I did:
1) Created the user group in SQ03
2) Created the infoset in SQ02
3) I'm stucked at the creation of the Query in SQ01. I'm at the «Create Query: Select field screen». I clicked on Edit --> Local Field --> Create. I selected the «calculation field» attribute. I clicked on the «Complex calculation button», but I don't know how to write my formulate DOCUMENT DATE - POSTING DATE.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Julien

Try these FM's to calculate difference between two dates..
DAYS_BETWEEN_TWO_DATES
LEAP_DAYS_BETWEEN_TWO_DATES
HR_SEN_CALE_DAYS_DATE
ISB_DAYS_BETWEEN_TWO_DATES
FIMA_DAYS_BETWEEN_TWO_DATES
FIMA_DAYS_BETWEEN_TWO_DATES_2
FIMA_LEAP_DAYS_BETWEEN_2_DATES
SD_DATETIME_DIFFERENCE

Creation of local field in ABAP Query

Hi
Please let me know how to create a local field in ABAP query. I am finding the option inactive in SQ01.
Regards
Priyadarshini

hi priya,
     *__Adding u201CLocal Fieldu201D (user defined field) in SAP Query_ :
There is also facility to add the user defined fields in SAP query output. Also we can provide calculation formula for calculating values for this user defined field.
Calculation formula consists of standard fields from standard SAP tables. So the values fetched for particular standard SAP fields from standard SAP tables get calculated as per the calculation formula defined for the user defined field and displays the value accordingly.
To do this first go to change mode for Query which automatically takes you to screen shown below and click on icon   , as below :
Then further screen will appears. So select the Field group and again click on the same icon button   .
Then switch on the Short names for the fields and give the short names to fields which we need to use in Calculation formula.
Give the short names and then created u201CLocal Fieldu201D, as shown in below screen shot. Also Short names are given to fields, which can be used further for calculation.
Defining Local Field u201CREM_QTYu201D along with its field type and Calculation formula.
In this case we have
defined field type for new
field as similar to
ORD_QTY and
Calculation formula is
defined.
Also its possible to have Conditional logic for Local field by putting Condition in u201CConditionu201D line.
Now activate this newly added Local field for coming it in output screen. To do the same again go to u201CBasic Listu201D and activate the Local Field as shown below :
i think this will help u

ABAP Query - Selection fields

Hello all,
I understand that SAP automatically generates an ABAP program for every ABAP Query wherein the selection fields are connected by an "AND" statement within the WHERE clause of the actual SELECT statement.
Is there a way to control this WHERE clause in such a way that we can use "OR" operators as well to connect some selection fields?
Thanks in advance,
John

Hi, Everyone .
We can do that .
At selection-screen output (code section 13), set "1" to the field REQUIED by using MODIFY SCREEN code .
(You can get Dynpro number by F1 key or T-cd SE51 )

SAP Query - Extract part of field

Hi,
I created a query with a local field. I want to extract only the last 3 characters of a field.
Is there a LEFT or RIGHT function I can use like in Excel?
The field I want to extract it from is 12 characters long.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks, Lupe

You can not fetch only 3 characters directly
There are 3 ways you can achieve this
1> Create additional field in the infoset and code the logic. (If this report is used frequently, you should use this)
2> Download the output of query in the excel and perform excel actions (Use this if the report is not frequently required. Does not take much time to fetch 3 characters)
3> if the report format is fixed, you can create ABAP report and code yo fetch only 3 characters

Need to create an ABAP query on 2 tables BSIK and BSAK

Hi,
I need to create an ABAP query which has the fields document no, doc date, amount in doc currency and some other fields from 2 tables BSIK and BSAK. Is it possible to write a single abap query to fetch the data from both the tables.

Unable to access Archived data with an ABAP Query

I have an ABAP Query that uses Logical Database KDF (Vendor) for reporting.
KDF is Archive Enabled and I can access archived document via SAP standard programs that used the KDF Logical Database.
the query appears accessing the data but nothing shows on the report.
Has anyone successfully written and ABAP query and included access to the Archived data?
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Gena,
I'm facing exactly the same problem as you...
Since this post is an old one, I imagine that you may not remember, but I have to try...
Have you solved it? If yes, could you please tell me how?
I've tried to use CL_ABAP_GZIP and CL_ABAP_UNGZIP_BINARY_STREAM and I'm getting the same error 30 at the IctDecompressStream function.
Tks in advance,
Flavio.

Differences between DATA TYPE and DATA OBJECTS

I am new to ABAP,I want to know the differences between DATA TYPE and DATA OBJECTS with some examples.
please help me regarding this.

Hi Ashish,
Data Types:       Are pure descriptions.
               No memory is associated with data types.
               Describes the technical properties of data objects.
EX.
1.     C-CHARACTER
2.     D-DATE
3.     F-FLOAT
4.     I-INTEGER
5.     N-NUMERIC TEXT
6.     T-TIME
7.     P-PACKED NUMBER
8.     X-HEXADECIMAL
9.     STRING-Variable length string.
10.     XSTRING-Variable length byte string.
Data Objects: Are created during runtime.
                They cannot exist without the data Types.
                Occupies memory space.
EX:
1.     INTERNAL DATA OBJECT- Internal Data objects
     LITEERAL- A literal has a fixed value.Ex: WRITE:u201DWORK HARDu201D.
     VARIABLES: Data statement is used to create variables.
EX.DATA: NUM TYPE I.
NUM: VARIABLE defined by data statement.
EX: DATA: PRICE LIKE NUM.
     CONSTANT-It is a data object, which contains a constant value throughout the program.
Can be declared in program by using CONSTANT statement.
EX:CONSTANT: INT TYPE I VALUE 15.
2.     EXTERNAL DATA OBJECT: Are defined in tables i.e In ABAP/4 dictionary you can access this data from table.
         EX: TABLES: SFLIGHT
          DATA: SEATS LIKE SFLIGHT-SEATSMAX.
3.     SYSTEM DEFINED DATA OBJECTS:Space & system variables like SY-UNAME,SY-DATUM, SY-REPID.
4.     SPECIAL DATA OBJECTS:
     PARAMETERS: Are Variables ,which can accept value from user.
      SELECTION SCREEN : Are special internal tables to accept value ranges from user.
3 APPROACHES TO DEFINE DATA OBJECTS.
1.     ELEMENTARY TYPES
DATA: Customer _Name (25) TYPE C,
               Vendor_Name (25) TYPE C.
2.     REFRENCE TO AN EXISTING FIELD:
DATA: Customer _Name2 (25) TYPE C,
              Vendor_Name2 (25) LIKE Customer_Name2
3.     REFRENCE TO NON-ELEMENTARY TYPE:
TYPES: T_NAME (25) TYPE C
DATA: CUSTOMER_NAME TYPE T_NAME
               VENDOR_NAME TYPE T_NAME
4.     RECORD-Information in rows & columns.
DATA: BEGIN OF BOOKING,
                                ID (4) TYPE C,
                                FLIGHT_DATE TYPE D,
                                NAME LIKE CUSTOMER_NAME,
                                END OF BOOKING.

ABAP Query - Local field creation error

Hi,
In SQ01, I created a query. when i try to create local field EDIT>LOCAL FIELD>CREATE. Its throwing error 'Reference field does not exist' Message no. AQ273.Can anyone please tell me how to create local field then?
useful answers will be rewarded.
Thanks
Shameem.

Hi,
When creating a local field in a query, you need to define the type of data it will hold. There is a radio button to select a "reference field" or you can specify the type of data directly. I believe you got this error message because you selected reference field but specified no other field in the query to use as reference.

Diff between sap query and abap query

diff between sap query and abap query

Hi,
ABAP query is mostly used by functional consultants.
SAP Query :
Purpose
The SAP Query application is used to create lists not already contained in the SAP standard system. It has been designed for users with little or no knowledge of the SAP programming language ABAP. SAP Query offers users a broad range of ways to define reporting programs and create different types of reports such as basic lists, statistics, and ranked lists.
Features
SAP Query's range of functions corresponds to the classical reporting functions available in the system. Requirements in this area such as list, statistic, or ranked list creation can be met using queries.
All the data required by users for their lists can be selected from any SAP table created by the customer.
To define a report, you first have to enter individual texts, such as titles, and select the fields and options which determine the report layout. Then you can edit list display in WYSIWYG mode whenever you want using drag and drop and the other toolbox functions available.
ABAP Query,:
As far as I Believe, is the use of select statements in the ABAP Programming. This needs a knowledge of Open SQL commands like Select,UPdtae, Modify etc. This has to be done only by someone who has a little bit of ABAP experience.
To sum up, SAP queries are readymade programs given by SAP, which the user can use making slight modification like the slection texts, the tables from which the data is to be retrieved and the format in which the data is to be displayed.ABAP queries become imperative when there is no such SAP query existing and also when there is a lot of customizing involved to use a SAP Query directly
use either SQ02 ans SQ01
or SQVI tr code

Difference between Report painter and abap query .

can anyone please tell me the difference between the report painter and the ordinary alv,clasical reporting and also the difference between Report painter and abap query. How the output format will be in Report painter. If anyone has any documents please send it to
[email protected]
Thanks,
Joseph.

hi,
ABAP Query is an ABAP Workbench tool that enables users without knowledge of the ABAP programming language to define and execute their own reports.
In ABAP Query, you enter texts and select fields and options to determine the structure of the reports. Fields are selected from functional areas and can be assigned a sequence by numbering.

whereas the Report Painter enables you to report on data from various applications. It uses a graphical report structure that forms the basis for the report definition. When defining the report, you work with a structure that corresponds to the final structure of the report when the report data is output.

How to display/create Local field in SAP query

HI All,
I'm new to abap query. I have to include a local field in the existing query. I know through SQ01->Edit->Local field we can display the Local fields, but the options under Local Fields menu option are disable even in change mode of Query.
So, later through SDN found that, I have to Switch On the short names menu option. Even the sub-options in Short Names are disabled.
Can any body please let me know how can we display the local fields to the change the formula and how can we create the new local fields in the existing qeury.
Hope I'm able to explain my issue clearly.
Thanks in advance.

You can create the local fields in the "Select Field" screen. (Third screen after "Title, Format" and "Select Field Group") This option is disabled on the other screens.
