Memory ID concept in Sap Abap

Hi All,
I am working on a user-exit which I picked up in middle of developement and which is using memory id concept. The requirement is like display error message in ME21N transaction and when clicking the Additionl Information in error msg it should call another report. there was some transaction developed and everything was working very fine but as the transaction was not meeting the dev standard that is deleted and a new is created but not that is not working. the exit part is working but not calling the reports .
is there any program which should export these ids ??? or what is missing really no idea..
having any idea??
thanks and best Reagards.
Kusum.

Hi All,
I got the answer. To call a program for certain message in user exit , you have to assign that transaction in long text of the message.
thanks and best regards.

  • Sap-abap faq's

    hi,
      i want abap faq's which is used to face an interview, please help me, the different types of questions asked in the interview. please send an attachment to my mail my mail id is [email protected]
    thanks and regards
    chandra sekhar.

    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.

    14.What do you mean by table control???Where will we use this???
    15.What are field symbols??Where will we use these symbols???
    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.

  • Wht is SAP ABAP HR

    Hi all
    wht is SAP ABAP HR?

    HR deals with the INFOTYPES which are similar to Tables in General ABAP.
    There are different ways of fetching data from these infotypes.
    There are different areas in HR LIKE Personal Admn, Orgn Management, Benefits, Time amangement, Event Management, Payroll etc
    Infotypes for these areas are different from one another area.
    storing of records data in each type of area is different
    LDBS like PNP are used in HR programing.
    Instead of Select.. we use some ROUTINES and PROVIDE..ENDPROVIDE.. etc
    and in the case of Pay roll we use Clusters and we Import and Export them for data fetching.
    On the whole Normal ABAP is different from HR abap.
    For Personal Admn the Infotypes start with PA0000 to PA1999
    Time Related Infotypes start with PA2000 to PA2999.
    Orgn related Infotypes start with HRP1000 to HRP1999.
    All custom developed infotypes stsrat with PA9000 onwards.
    In payroll processing we use Clusters like PCL1,2,3 and 4.
    Instead of Select query we use PROVIDE and ENDPROVIDE..
    You have to assign a Logical Database in the attributes PNP.
    Go through the SAp doc for HR programming and start doing.

  • HI I am attending an interview in tcs in sap abap plz send me interivew que

    Hi I am attending tcs interivew this week plz send me interivew questions wht they ask ,,,my id is [email protected] ,,,, than k u,,,

    Hi,,
    Please find a few collection of my interview ques..
    Mark if useful..
    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.

    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;

    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

    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.

  • Sap-abap  expected topics in interview

    Hi ,
    Iam trying for job in sap as a 2+ years of experience.
    what r the the different topics can i expect in interview  ?
    What are the imp topics as a 2+ experience.
    Pls help me.
    I think it may help many people.
    regards,
    kala.

    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.

  • New to Enhancements and Modifications in SAP ABAP

    Hi experts,
    Could anyone has a tutorials or ebooks on this topic? I need to learn more about this.. tnx in advance!!!

    Hi
    Enhancements and User Exits
    User exits (Function module exits) are exits developed by SAP. The exit is implementerd as a call to a function module. The code for the function module is written by the developer. You are not writing the code directly in the function module, but in the include that is implemented in the function module.
    The naming standard of function modules for functionmodule exits is:
    EXIT_<program name><3 digit suffix>
    The call to a functionmodule exit is implemented as:
    CALL CUSTOMER.-FUNCTION <3 digit suffix>
    To find a Exit.
    Goto Transaction -- Find The Package
    SMOD >f4>Use the Package here to Find the Exits In the Package.
    Else if you Want to search by Application Area wise ,
    There is one more tab to find the Exits in the Respective Application Area.
    Implementing the Exit-- CMOD Create ProjectsAssgn your Component .
    Now Run ur Transaction to Check if it Triggers.
    Thats it..
    Suppose you need to find out all the user exits related to a tcode.
    1. Execute the Tcode.
    2. Open the SAP program.
    3. Get the Development Class.
    4. Execute Tcode SE84.
    5. Open the Node 'Envir. -> Exit Techniques -> 'Customer Exits -> Enhancements'
    6. Enter the Development class and execute.
    Check out this thread..
    The specified item was not found.
    1. Type the transaction : system->status-> <PROG. NAME>
    2 open SE37 , type EXIT<PROG NAME> and press F4 to get the list of function exits available.
    3. Open CMOD utilities->SAP enhancements
    EDIT->All selections
    4.type the function module name obtained in step 2, in fields 'component name' in 'additional selections' block. and execute.
    5. The displayed list contains the enhancements names for the transaction You were looking for.
    6. Create a project in CMOD and the code in default include->activate.
    http://www.erpgenie.com/sap/abap/code/abap26.htm
    which gives the list of exits for a tcode

    Defines a position in an ABAP program as an enhancement option, at which one or more source code plug-ins can be inserted.
    Syntax
    ENHANCEMENT-POINT enh_id SPOTS spot1 spot2 ...
                      [STATIC]
                      [INCLUDE BOUND].
    Extras:
    1. ... STATIC
    2. ... INCLUDE BOUND
    Effect
    : This statement defines an explicit enhancement option at the current position in the program at which a source code enhancement can be made. In program generation, the source code plug-ins of the assigned enhancement implementation that are available in the current system and have a switch in the status stand-by or on, are inserted at this position.
    If the addition STATIC is not specified, the source code enhancement is dynamic. This means that in program execution, only those source code plug-ins are executed whose switch has the status on. If a source code plug-in does not have a switch assigned to it, it is handled in the same way as a plug-in with a switch in the status on.
    With enh_id, an ID must be specified directly for the enhancement option, which is unique in the current compilation unit without the addition INCLUDE BOUND, and with this addition, is unique in current Include program. At least one enhancement spot must be assigned to the enhancement option using the specification simple enhancement spots spot1, spot2, and so on.
    Within enhancements, one or more source code plug-ins can be created for one enhancement option. A source code plug-in is created by the assignment of an enhancement implementation in the Enhancement Builder. This automatically generates an empty source code plug-in with a unique ID, which is displayed underneath ENHANCEMENT-POINT in the Editor, where the actual enhancement can be implemented between ENHANCEMENT and ENDENHANCEMENT.
    A source code plug-in is assigned to only one enhancement option. Multiple source code plug-ins of one enhancement implementation and the source code plug-ins of multiple enhancement implementations can be assigned to one enhancement point.
    Notes
    : In the terminology of the enhancement concept, the statement ENHANCEMENT-POINT includes both the enhancement spot element definition and the enhancement spot invocation of the enhancement option.
    The statement ENHANCEMENT-POINT can either be entered directly or created by choosing Edit ? Enhancement operations ? Create enhancement in the Enhancement Builder. After the program has been saved or created using Edit ? Enhancement operations ? Create enhancement, the statement can only be deleted by choosing Edit ? Enhancement operations ? Delete enhancement.
    In addition to the enhancement options explicitly specified by ENHANCEMENT-POINT, ABAP programs also contain implicit enhancement points, which can also be enhanced using source code plug-ins.
    Addition 1
    ... STATIC
    Effect
    : The addition STATIC is used to define a static source code enhancement. In a static source code enhancement, all incorporated source code plug-ins are taken into account when the program is executed, including those whose switch is in the status stand-by.
    Note
    : The STATIC addition is intended for the enhancement of data declarations, while the statement ENHANCEMENT-POINT without the STATIC addition is designed for the enhancement of executable coding. When the statement is executed using Enhancements ? Create enhancement, the addition is set according to this selection.
    Addition 2
    ... INCLUDE BOUND
    Effect
    : This addition can be entered in Include programs. It links the source code enhancement to the current Include program. Each program that incorporates an Include program only includes the source code enhancements that are defined with this addition. Source code enhancements created using the INCLUDE BOUND addition have their own namespace in each Include program. This ensures that if several Include programs are integrated into one compilation unit, no namespace conflicts arise, either between Include programs, or with the source code enhancements of the compilation unit.
    Without the addition INCLUDE BOUND, a source code enhancement is assigned to only one compilation unit. If the statement ENHANCEMENT-POINT is executed in an Include program without this addition, a compilation unit must be assigned to it in the Enhancement Builder.
    Note
    : In an Include program, Include-bound and non-Include-bound source code enhancements can not be defined at the same time. This also applies if an Include program incorporates other Include programs.
    Enhancement points are points provided by sap in standard programs to modify the source code. Go to any standard program, Locate the spiral button on the toolbar. Then press it and then navigate to edit->enhancement operations->display enhancement point menu. Then a no of yellow lines would appear, which are the available en points. You would have to change it and write the applicable source code.

  • SAP ABAP or FICO

    Hi,
    First of all i'm new to this community.
    I just completed my graduation(2010 Engg. passout) and got recruited by an organisation.There i got trained in SAP-ABAP and i'm now clear with the concepts although i have never worked in a ABAP development project.But,I did one mock project.
    Its 2 months now.I dint get any chance to work in a project.But,yesterday i got a call, and they gave me an oppurtunity to work in a development project.
    Meanwhile,they r also giving me an oppurtunity to shift my carrer towards functional side.I have been given an option to learn SAP-FICO in the organisation itself.They said it wud b like a 4 months training with hands-on experience and domain training.And that too i ll b trained along with MBA graduates.They are assuring me with a project a proj as soon as i complete the training.
    Which one should i choose?
    Get into implementation project as technical consultant or
    should i go to attend tat SAP-FICO training and become a functional consultant?
    Since i'm new to this SAP world,its quite confusing.
    Your valuable feedback will help me to choose a right carrer.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Raja

    Hi Paul ,
    Thanks for your reply .
    Starting from my first implementation i was a customer facing guy &  i was admired by the way a functional consultant  plans, designs and oversight of constructing the solution.I got practised myself  to propose a solution or work around/gap fits in the product during my ERP implementations,I like speaking with business  people which give us a lot of ideas in a broder scope 
    Of course a technical consultant is a heart of a project  without which any project will not sucess.
    But Paul can you please advise me is it worth paying a hugh amount to seimens to get trained?
    Thanks,
    bhareth

  • SAP-ABAP or SAP-BI/BW

    Hello All...
    need your help.
    I am currently working on SAS technology as a SAS Developer. I want to learn SAP. But have confusion between SAP-ABAP and SAP-BI/BW.
    Which one will be good for me? SAS gives me basic BI background so thought of BI/BW.
    & Will I get job after the course completion. I am having 2.5 years experience on SAS.
    Please help..
    Thanks...:)

    Hi,
    Module selection is totally depend on your interest.
    ABAP - is purely technical and coding work. if you have strong skill on coding then you can choose ABAP module.
    BW - its data warehouse. its techno-functional. You don't need any special skills to learn BW. its easy to  understand the BW concepts.As per business needs we need to design data flow by using BW architecture(extended start concept).After design of data flows we need to load the data from different sources and do the reporting by using Bex tools(Bex designer/analyzer).
    BW have 3 major areas.,
    1. Modeling/Designing.
    2. ETL - Extraction,transferring and loading
    3. Reporting - Bex tools.
    Thanks

  • Career in SAP ABAP

    Hello Everybody
    I just need your help and suggestions . It will be really worthwhile if anybody can come up with answers to my question below.
    I have 4 years IT experience and have been working on Project Management of Web Development Field for 1st three years and last year in Adobe Flex and have good knowledge of OOPs concepts . I have decided to switch to SAP for better prospect in order to secure my future along with handsome income. Today I went to JKT SAP ACADEMY ( SAP Authorised Training Partner listed in SAP page ) in kolkata and they suggested me to go for SAP ABAP with e-learning module upto maximum 5 months for 200 Hrs duration with a course fee of 1,76,000/- along with materials and after that pay 33K  for examination fees to get SAP GERMANY CERTIFICATE after clearing it. They will provide placements like arranging interview .
    Now i am thinking whether its useful to join or not after paying hefty sum ?? Is there any chances of getting job for Fresher in SAP as certified ? Can anyone suggest me please ? I also understand that ABAP is suitable for programmers with OOps concepts . Instead of joining it how good will it be to learn from Online Tutorials on our own and also with books.
    Looking forward to hear from you soon all.
    Thanks

  • Problem to install sap abap 7.01

    At the beginning I tried to install SAP ABAP 7.02 (32 bits), It took almost all night, but the the end of installation i got a message than I had not enough memory (my PC is 2GB RAM!!). I couldn't find uninstall for 7.02 version because the installation wasn't completed. So I decided deleted all sap folders manually. Then, I decided to swap and go to old version - SAP ABAP 7.01 (because the System Requirements is low). During installation I got a message that I must to uninstall the last sap version.
    How can I install without problem? Also I was using HD E:, and I could see there was SAP folders on C:. As I told I deleted C: folders manually and E: I format.
    thanks lads

    Dear Yuri,
    I had the same problem with Netweaver 7.02. It seems there's a problem with the garbage collector in the Java installation, so after ABAP import, there's so much rubbish on the Java stack that installation can't finish. 2 GB should definitely be enough to finish installation. If you get an error message, just shut Windows down, and continue your old installation. The setup routine will prompt you to do so.
    But now you've got another problem with the unfinished installation. Try the uninstall utility in the installation folder. If that's not enough, you'd have to remove all traces of SAP from the registry, and possibly delete some Windows services manually as well.
    Best wishes,
    Jan
