What is the use of Sort / Artist?

Hi All,
Can anybody explain what the use of the Sort/Artist information in iTunes? What I'm really trying to do is sort by artist more cleanly on my iPod once I download; so many albums have a main artist and then x number of guests so each of these end up being an entry which makes it a mess to find everything by an artist. Can the Sort/Artist info help me on the iPod or is it only on in iTunes?
Thanks!

Why do we create indexes for DSOs and Cubes.What is the use of it?

Hi All,
Can you please tell me why are indexes created for DSOs and Cubes.
What is the use with the creation of indexes.
Thanks,
Sravani

HI ,
An index is a copy of a database table that is reduced to certain fields. This copy is always in sorted form. Sorting provides faster access to the data records of the table, for example, when using a binary search. A table has a primary index and a secondary index. The primary index consists of the key fields of the table and is automatically created in the database along with the table. You can also create further indexes on a table in the Java Dictionary. These are called secondary indexes. This is necessary if the table is frequently accessed in a way that does not take advantage of the primary index. Different indexes for the same table are distinguished from one another by a separate index name. The index name must be unique. Whether or not an index is used to access a particular table, is decided by the database system optimizer. This means that an index might improve performance only with certain database systems. You specify if the index should be used on certain database systems in the index definition. Indexes for a table are created when the table is created (provided that the table is not excluded for the database system in the index definition). If the index fields represent the primary keys of the table, that is, if they already uniquely identify each record of the table, the index is referred to as an unique index.
they are created on DSO and cube for the performance purpose ..and reports created on them wil be also more efficent ..

What is the use of 'keep' parameter in BDC

Hi
In BDC while transfering data, what is the use of 'keep' parameter in BDC.

Hi Jyothsna,
In the function module BDC_OPEN_GROUP, the EXPORTING parameter KEEP acts as a deletion indicator for session in which the batch data executed.
CALL FUNCTION 'BDC_OPEN_GROUP'
EXPORTING
CLIENT = SY-MANDT
DEST = FILLER8
GROUP = FILLER12
HOLDDATE = FILLER8
 KEEP = FILLER1
---
KEEP retains the session after successful processing if its value is set to 'X'. A session that is kept remains in the input/output queue until an administrator deletes it in SM35 transaction.
Sessions that contain errors in transactions are kept even if KEEP is not set.
Default: If not set, then sessions that are successfully processed are deleted. Only the batch input log is kept in SM35 transaction.
Hope this sort out your query.
PS If the answer solves your query, plz close the thread by rewarding points to each reply.

What is the use of inverted date format

In table TCURR - Exchange rates, the field GDATU - Date As of Which the Exchange Rate Is Effective is stored as an inverted date. So 01/01/2008 is actually stored as 79919898.
What is the use of inverted dates. Why does SAP use them. Why not just use normal date format? If I want the latest record from the table, instead of sorting by descending, I actually have to sort by ascending because the date is stored in inverted format.

Hi,
Inverted date is a old concept which helps in soring the dates sometimes. but now ASCENDING and DESCENDING sorting is more easy and quick. Check this application help. maybe useful for you
1. CONVERT DATE f1 INTO INVERTED-DATE f2.
2. CONVERT INVERTED-DATE f1 INTO DATE f2.
Effect
Calculates the nine's complement of the internal date format (YYYYMMDD - for more information about internal display, meaning and initial values of types, see TYPES) and places it in the field f2. For example, 19950511 becomes 80049488 and 80049488 becomes 19950511.
In the inverse date format, the most recent date has the numerically smallest value. You can make use of this effect when sorting dates.
Note
The technique of manipulating the sort sequence of dates by inverting the internal date format is now rarely used. You can sort internal tables in order of ascending or descending date values much more efficiently using the ... ASCENDING or ... DESCENDING additions to the SORT statement.
Example
DATA DATE_INV LIKE SY-DATUM.
CONVERT DATE SY-DATUM INTO INVERTED-DATE DATE_INV.
Suppose, for example, SY-DATUM contains the date 11.05.1995 in its internal format 19950511. After execution of the CONVERT statement, DATE_INV would contain the internal format 80049488.

What is the use of passing object reference to itself ?

What is the use of passing object reference to itself ?
regards,
namanc

There is an use for returning an object reference from itself, for instance:
class C {
public:
     C append(C c) {
         // do something interesting here, and then:
         return this;
}You can "chain" calls, like this:
C c = new C();
C d = new C();
C e = new C();
c.append (d).append (e);Maybe the OP has "inverted" the common usage, or thought about a static method of a class C that requires a parameter of type C (effectively being a sort of "non-static method").
class C {
    static void doAnotherThing (C c) {
        c.doSomething(); //-- effectively C.doAnotherThing(c) is an "alternative syntax" for c.doSomething()

What is the use of at new statement?

What is the use of at new statement?

Hi,
AT - itab
Syntax
LOOP AT itab result ...
[AT FIRST.
 ENDAT.]
 [AT NEW comp1.
 ENDAT.
 [AT NEW comp2.
 ENDAT.
 AT END OF comp2.
 ENDAT.]
 AT END OF comp1.
 ENDAT.]
[AT LAST.
ENDAT.]
ENDLOOP.
Extras:
1. ... FIRST
2. ... |{END OF} compi
3. ... LAST
Effect
The statement block of a LOOP loop can contain control structures for control level processing. The respective control statement is AT. The statements AT and ENDAT define statement blocks that are executed at control breaks, that is, when the control structure is changed. The additions to the AT statements determine the control break at which their statement blocks are executed. Within these statement blocks, the statement SUM can be specified to add together the numeric components of a control level. For the output behavior result, the same applies as for LOOP AT.
The prerequisite for control level processing is that the internal table is sorted in exactly the same sequence as the component of its line type - that is, first in accordance with the first component, then in accordance with the second component, and so on. The line structure and the corresponding sorting sequence gives a group structure of the content of the internal table, whose levels can be evaluated using AT statements. The AT- ENDAT control structures must be aligned one after the other, in accordance with the group structure.
The statement blocks within the AT- ENDAT control structures are listed if an appropriate control break is made in the current table line. Statements in the LOOP- ENDLOOP control structure that are not executed within an AT- ENDAT control structure are executed in each pass of the loop.
In order that control level processing is carried out properly, the following rules must be observed:
After LOOP, a restricting condition cond can only be specified if this selects a consecutive line block of the internal table. Otherwise, the behavior of control level processing is undefined.
The internal table cannot be modified within the LOOP loop.
A work area wa specified in the LOOP statement after the addition INTO must be compatible with the line type of the table.
The content of a work area wa specified after the addition INTO in the LOOP statement must not be modified.
If the INTO addition is used in the LOOP statement to assign the content of the current line to a work area wa, its content is changed upon entry into the AT-ENDAT control structure as follows:
The components of the current control key remain unchanged.
All components with a character-type, flat data type to the right of the current control key are set to character "*" in every position.
All the other components to the right of the current control key are set to their initial value.
When the AT-ENDAT control structure is exited, the content of the current table line is assigned to the entire work area wa.
Addition 1
... FIRST
Effect
The control level is defined by the first line of the internal table. The control break takes place when this line is read.
Note
In the group level AT FIRST, the current group key contains no components and all character-type components of the work area wa are filled with "*" and all remaining components are set to their initial value.
Addition 2
... |{END OF} compi/>
Effect
: Control levels are defined by the beginning or end of a group of lines with the same content in the component compi (where i = 1, 2, and so on) and in the components to the left of compi. The control breaks take place when the content of the component compi or another component to the left of compi changes.
The compi components can be specified as described in Specification of Components, with the limitation that access to object attributes is not possible here.
Note
If the INTO or ASSIGNING additions are used in the LOOP statement, a field symbol can be entered after AT |{END OF} outside classes, to which the corresponding component of the work area wa or the field symbol <fs> is assigned. This form of dynamic component specification is obsolete and has been replaced by specification in the format (name).
Addition 3
... LAST
Effect
: The control level is defined by the last line of the internal table. The control break takes place when this line is read.
Note
In the group level AT LAST, the current group key contains no components and all character-type components of the work area wa are filled with "*" and all remaining components are set to their initial value.

What algorithm is used to Sort Photos?

I've read a LOT of posts asking about the sorting order for photos within an album.
No one has yet to provide an accurate answer about the sorting algorithm/method used. Some people say to use iPhoto (I have a PC so I can't) which isn't an answer. Other people refer to editing some metadata. No one seems to be answering the main question:
What data is used to sort photos?
File Name (alphabetical) ?
File creation date?
File modified date?
Size?
Type?
Some (hidden) tag like an mp3 has?
It's gotta be something!
What is it?

Well, I figured it out.
It uses the Created Date to sort files.
On my PC, I use a freeware program called AttributeMagicFree
to change the created date and now sorting works as I expect.

What is the use of this form?

Hi all,
What is the use of this form in include RV61B901?
How does this code send any information to the program calling it? Is Sy-subrc global so that main program will know the reuslts?
Code:
FORM KOBED_901.
DATA : l_anzpk LIKE likp-anzpk.
SELECT SINGLE anzpk FROM likp
                      INTO l_anzpk
                      WHERE vbeln = komkbv2-vbeln.
IF l_anzpk NE 0.
    sy-subrc = 4.
    exit.
ENDIF.
sy-subrc = 0.
ENDFORM.
Thanks,
Charles.

Hello,
This form sets the value of sy-subrc(which is global) based
on the value of l_anzpk.

What is the use of additon in up to 1 rows in SELECT statement

Hi All,
         What is the use of up to 1 rows in select statement.
for example
SELECT kostl
      FROM pa0001
      INTO y_lv_kostl UP TO 1 ROWS
      WHERE pernr EQ pernr
      AND endda GE sy-datum.
    ENDSELECT.
I'm unable to get in wat situations we hav to add up to 1 rows
please help me out...
Thanks,
santosh.

Hi,
Use "select up to 1 rows" only if you are sure that all the records returned will have the same value for the field(s) you are interested in. If not, you will be reading only the first record which matches the criteria, but may be the second or the third record has the value you are looking for.
The System test result showed that the variant Single * takes less time than Up to 1 rows as there is an additional level for COUNT STOP KEY for SELECT ENDSELECT UP TO 1 ROWS.
The 'SELECT .... UP TO 1 ROWS' statement is subtly different. The database selects all of the relevant records that are defined by the WHERE clause, applies any aggregate, ordering or grouping functions to them and then returns the first record of the result set.

What is the use of Alternative Calculation Type =2 and 4

Dear Friends
In pricing procedure in gross value, Net value for Item and Net value has Alternative calucation type is 2.
What is the use of it?
Without using it these value line are also fetching net value then what is the work of it. Please give me detail information with its effects in pricing condition tab page in sales document.
Thanking You
Arun

Arun biswal,
Correct Biswal. We have at varoius stages within Pricing procedure the "net value" which is calculated. Not only the alternative calculation type "2" is used if you notice carefully they are stored as subtotals at various levels.
For Ex Gross Value --> Subtotal =1 --> Calc type = 2
similarly for Net value for Item --> Subtotal =2 --> Calc type = 2
Net value 2 --> Subtotal =3 --> Calc type = 2
See, these are used to calculate the net value at various levels in pricing. The calculation Type has got a set of routines that will facilitate us in pricing. SAP has provided certain clauclated formulas or routines to facilitate us during calculation within pricing . Here the "2" is used for calculation without tax and store it as subtotal and display it or use it for further calculations.
We can use this "netvalue" amount for further calculations. It is used for clarity purpose when you issue a statement to customer. (like Confirmation order) at various levels like discount amt involved, Freight involved, Rebate amount invloved.....
Even without this Calc type or using sub total u can proceed....
Finally we have TOTAL --> Subtotal =A --> Calc type = 4
In the above line we have Calc type as 4, which means when you use TAX this calc type is used .
Routines are used to facilitate your process....

What is the use of Data packet dim with Virtual cube with services

Hi Friends,
Could anybody tell me what is the use of Packet dimension in Virtual cube with services , It cannot contain data persistently ,Just fetch at runtime,Then there is no Physical load happening,Then why it should be automatically created for this??
Message was edited by: Pradeep choudhari

Hi Maik,
Unit dimension will not be created automatically until and unless you have keyfigure referning units..
But my question is : Why should we have data pack dimension , which is useless in this case of Virtual cube with services.It should not be created automatically!! What do you say??

What is the use of Withholding tax identification number field?

Hello SAP Experts,
I posted this question earlier but had to close because of no replies from anybody. Posting it again to see if I am lucky to get some answer this time.
Can someone tell what is the use of field Withholding Tax Identification Number? Does it help with the reporting? Where does it get populated on the report if given at vendor or master record or within the withholding tax customization for company code? What is the difference between creating it in the customization for withholding tax information for company code and vendor/customer master record?
As per SAP: Withholding tax identification number
This is a number issued by the tax authorities per withholding tax type.
This number must be specified in Customizing either:
(a) As part of the withholding tax information defined for the company code, or
(b) As part of the withholding tax information defined in the customer or vendor master record.

Hi Pete,
The only thing that I could check is the content used in US:
See content of this field for US:
LFA1-STCD1 Social security number
LFA1-STCD2 Employer identification number
LFBW-WT_WTSTCD Withholding tax identification number for WT Type
In order to populate it, please kindly check the following:
The reason why you cannot fill in the field WT_WTSTCD in transaction
Fk02 however you can do it in XK02 (Change vendor centrally) can be due
to wrong customizing of the field status group.
Kindly check the following:
SPRO->
Finantial accounting -> Accounts receivable and accounts payable ->
Define screen layout per activity (vendors) -> Change Vendor(Accounting)
Company code data -> W/holding tax data, w/h tax 2 ->
FIELD Withholding tax code,w/h tax 2 will be probably just available to
display. Please, change it to optional entry.
I hope I could be of assistance.
Kind Regards,
Fernando Evangelista
