ABAP coding question: Lookup DSO

Hi experts
In the coding below I am using performance decreasing asterix * for the select statement.
If we want to use only the fields needed, /BIC/ZCOPA_ORG and /BIC/ZPA_AWTYP, how do you define the tables (itab2, etc.)?
Thanks for your help.
*$*$ begin of 2nd part global - insert your code only below this line  *
... "insert your code here
TABLES: /BIC/AZPA_AQ0100.

First you need to define the structure of internal table with the fields required that you are supposed to fetch from that DSO.
TYPES : BEGIN OF COPA,
              /BIC/ZCOPA_ORG     TYPE /BIC/OIZCOPA_ORG,
              /BIC/ZPA_AWTYP type  /BIC/OIZPA_AWTYP,

DATA: ITAB2 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF COPA .
DATA: WA type copa.
  SELECT /BIC/ZCOPA_ORG /BIC/ZPA_AWTYP FROM /BIC/AZPA_AQ0100 INTO TABLE ITAB2
Hope this gives an idea.

  • ABAP coding question

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to default the entity as 'ID'
    1) if the acc code is numeric with 11 digits
    2) if the acc code is character starting with "I xxxx..."
    Example
    entity = ID if acc code = 1140.03.092
    entity = ID if acc code = IDFIXEDASSET1
    How should I code this?
    Pls assist a.s.a.p.
    Thank you!

    Hi Rebekah,
    Here's an example:
    CLEAR result.
    IF SOURCE_FIELDS-bic/entity CP 'I*'
      OR ( strlen( /bic/entity ) = 11
        AND SOURCE_FIELDS-/bic/entity CO '0123456789.'  ).
      RESULT = 'ID'.

  • ABAP coding in LSMW

    Hi All,
    A)Is it possible to  write ABAP coding in LSMW, if yes where can we do this. and
    B)During the First Step of LSMW we come across 1. Standard/Batch Direct Input
                                                                          2.Batch input recording
                                                                          3.Business Object Method (BAPI)
                                                                          4.IDOC(intermediate document)
    which one to use and when to use?
    C) what are the advantages/disadvantages of LSMW compared to other data transfer methods like BDC.
    please let me know the answers for above.
    useful answers will be rewarded for the same.
    Regards,
    Yellappa.

    hi
    for q posed to ashvinder, its used only for validation of the input records and their corresponding processing, i will explain a simple scenario,
    1. if u want to transfer data a part of which has already been created in the system. You
    want to decide at runtime whether the data is created or changed.
    u can write this coding in corresponding field
    2. You want to "skip" a record depending on a certain condition, i.e. this record shall not be converted and transferred to the output file.
    3. Duplicate a Record
    If want complex pricing procedures u cant do that in LSMW, u need to go for BDC's
    for ur question about what to use, BAPI or IDOC, check this link

  • Performance of ABAP coding very poor

    Hi gurus,
    I'm a newbie in ABAP programming.
    Currently, I managed to write an ABAP coding for BW to load data from a source DSO to target DSO.
    We are using BW 3.5.
    In the source, we have YTD amount as Key Figures.
    In the start routine, we use ABAP coding to calculate the Monthly value and Last 12 Months value.
    Monthly value is defined as: current month YTD - last month YTD (except when current month = January, then monthly value for January = YTD value for January)
    Last 12 months value is calculated for example as follow:
    for March 08, then Last 12 months value is April 07-March08
    Thus the formula for last 12 Months value is:
               YTD current month current year + YTD month12 last year - YTD current month last year
    I used internal table to read and store all of the information
    However, I need to read 3 times from internal table to get all of the necessary value to calculate the monthly value and last 12 months value.
    The performance is very low. The system runs for 40 minutes to read and calculate 15500 data.
    Therefore if you can perhaps give some hint/tip/tricks how to improve the performance of the code, it will be highly appreciated.
    Thank you very much in advance.
    Best regards,
    Fen

  • How to use API to trigger JAM group invitation in ABAP coding?

    Hi,
    We want to trigger a JAM group invitation URL to be sent out in ABAP coding to enable a auto. process at backend. Currently I only know the manual way: clicking invite button in jam group and input user name to find target user and then click send button to send out invitation email.
    But question is how to do in ABAP coding to call any API to realize the same action?
    Many thanks and Best regards,
    Long

    As an ABAP developer you can make use of the SAIL Library to integrate with SAP Jam. With SAIL integrating with SAP Jam is as easy as calling a ABAP OO method. SAIL takes care of the communication with SAP Jam and handles user authentication for you.
    The lower part of http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-55050 contains information for ABAP developers like the SAIL developer guide and the SAIL config guide.

    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

    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.

  • Multiple records are present for same key in lookup DSO

    Hi,
    I want to populate quantity value from lookup dso in target dso. I have written code to populate it in start and end routine. While populating value in target It is taking first value of quantity. there are two records in lookup and target DSO with same key and different Quantity value. there is not any common key field in lookup and target dso. So that I can not populate correct values in the target DSO.
    Can anyone suggest me for this?

    Hi All,
    I have written below code for populating Qty:
        LOOP AT RESULT_PACKAGE ASSIGNING <RESULT_FIELDS>.
          IF <RESULT_FIELDS>-/BIC/ZSHPCRTID IS NOT INITIAL.
            CLEAR  : WA_ITAB.
    READ TABLE IT_ITAB TRANSPORTING NO FIELDS WITH KEY
            /BIC/ZSHPCRTID = /BIC/ZSHPCRTID.
            IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
              TMP = SY-TABIX.
            ENDIF.
            LOOP AT IT_ITAB INTO WA_ITAB FROM TMP.
              IF WA_ITAB-/BIC/ZSHPCRTID <> /BIC/ZSHPCRTID.
                EXIT.
              ELSE.
                <RESULT_FIELDS>-BBP_SCQTY = WA_ITAB-BBP_SCQTY.       
              ENDIF.
            ENDLOOP.
          ENDIF
        ENDLOOP.
    in this case my output/target DSO is:
    key1  key2    key3  qty
    1000   10       200   30
    1000   10       300   30
    1000    20      400   30
    Below is the lookup DSO data:
    key1   key2  key3   qty
    1000   10      1        10
    1000   10      2        20
    1000    20     3        30
    It is taking last record's qty value and putting it for all records.
    Please suggest something for this issue.

  • ABAP coding issues after BW upgrade

    Hello Gurus,
    We recently did a BW upgrade from version 3.5 to 7.31 and even since have been encountering few strange issues with many of our ABAP coding.
    For example, there is an APPEND statement in one of our Update Rules as below:
    APPEND <lw_rtab_wa> TO <lt_rtab>.
    Before upgrade, this was working as expected and the contents of <lw_rtab_wa> was getting transferred to <lt_rtab> without any issues.
    Now after upgrade, we find that the contents of <lw_rtab_wa> is being clubbed together in the 1st few columns of <lt_rtab>.
    Both the <lw_rtab_wa> & <lt_rtab> have the same fields, but the length of few fields in <lt_rtab> is bigger than that in <lw_rtab_wa>. For example DOC_NUMBER in <lw_rtab_wa> is of type C(10) while in <lt_rtab> it is C(20). This difference is causing the data of the 2nd field also to be over-writen in the DOC_NUMBER field of <lt_rtab>.
    Please let us know if you have encountered similar situations after your BW upgrade. Any possible solutions to this would be very much appreciated as this is causing PROD issues at the moment!
    Thanks
    Arvind

    Hi Arvind,
    After Upgrade In BW 7.3 or higher versions All data elements that use the domain RSCHAVL are converted from CHAR60 to SSTRING. thats the reason you are getting that syntax error.
    Take help of some ABAP programmer and try to change the syntax as suggested from below link.
    Just scroll down and check the same. even though link shows for BW 7.4 issues, its applicable for 7.3 too. Please let me know

  • ABAP coding in defining start condition for action.

    Hi Everybody,
    Can anyone tell me if ABAP coding is possible for giving condition for action? If yes, where? Is it in condition editor? I have 3 validations to be done:- 1) Filter service contract (transaction type USC), 2) Filter the active contracts, 3) Filter contracts which doesn't have billing cycle in current month.
    So, do you think these validations can be done in start condition of action? First two validations are static in nature and thus can be done. But, how about the last condition?
    Please help.
    Regards,
    Sanj.

    Hi Sanj
    I would do this.
    1. The transaction type cannot be changed, therfore I will set this up in the scheduling condition.
    2. Active contracts. Depends on teh definiton of active. If it is based on some status then I will use scheduling condition.
    3. use one of the dates in the date profile to determine if the billing date is in the current month or not.
    See if this helps.
    Thanks

  • Abap coding in SAP query (SQ01)

    Hi,
    By using the a table like for MSEG if i want to retrieve data for the movement type 101 (receipts from vendor), i can build a query using this table and retrieve data - my problem starts when the system shows individual line items instead of cumulated result as mentioned in the following example.
    Example :-
    for the date 01.07.2007 - i have 10 entries (101 movement) of quantity 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 against a vendor V1. - the query lists all the 10 entries.
    But what is required is the cumulated entry against the vendor like shown below
    vendor    receipt
    V1         55.
    What abap coding should be written (provide the sample code) and the where should it be written in the query transaction SQ01
    Regards,
    M.M

    Hi Magesh,
    If you do not wish to see the detail lines, then you do not need to create them.  Just create the Statistics portion only.
    If you wish to see 'summarized Vendor quantity by day', then you might sort on Vendor first, then posting date second.  Or, vice versa, depending on your business requirement.  I would think that you might also wish to include Material in the sort, since each Material is probably valued differently.
    For more info on creating statistics in SAP Query, refer to

  • ABAP-Coding for EVERY Key figure in infocube 0RT_C02

    Hello gurus;
          Does anybody know which is the reason for Abap-coding for every key figure in infocube 0rt_c02 from InfoSource 2lis_13_vditm?
    Thanks in advanced!
    Csr

    Hi,
    this is done like this in the business content because the extractor is providing the data with a process key; this process key is then translated into meaningfull business objects (key figures);
    fro instance ProcessKey 202 in application SD is reflecting Credit memos:
    * Credit Memo
      IF COMM_STRUCTURE-PROCESSKEY = '202'
        AND COMM_STRUCTURE-BWAPPLNM EQ 'SD'.
    * currency convert
        IF COMM_STRUCTURE-COST <> 0.       "Value in document UNIT
          PERFORM LOC_CURR_CONVERT
            USING    COMM_STRUCTURE-COST   "Value in doc UNIT
                     COMM_STRUCTURE-TRANS_DATE     "Date for exchange
                     COMM_STRUCTURE-DOC_CURRCY     "Document Currency
                     COMM_STRUCTURE-LOC_CURRCY     "Local currency
    *                COMM_STRUCTURE-EXCHG_RATE     "Exchanging rate
                     COMM_STRUCTURE-/BIC/ZEXRATEAC "Exchanging rate Acctn
            CHANGING RESULT.
    * the KPI's must be turned to positive because the SD-extractors
    * allways deliver them neg. if it's a process back (e.g. return order)
          RESULT = RESULT * ( -1 ).
          UNIT = COMM_STRUCTURE-LOC_CURRCY.
    * if the returncode is not equal zero, the result will not be updated
          RETURNCODE = 0.
        ELSE.
    * if the returncode is not equal zero, the result will not be updated
          RETURNCODE = 4.
        ENDIF.
      ELSE.
    * if the returncode is not equal zero, the result will not be updated
        RETURNCODE = 4.
      ENDIF.
    the above routine is quite self explaining the code.
    hope this helps...

  • Difference between 3X and 7X routine in term of ABAP coding

    Hi to all,
    Please can any one tell me?
    What is difference between 3X and 7X routine, in technical aspect (ABAP coding).
    I shall be thankful to you for this.
    Regards
    Pavneet Rana

    Hi Rana,

    [Differences in Routine Concepts in BW3.x n Bi7.0|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/44/bd9b5be97c112ce10000000a11466f/content.htm]

  • What is difference among F5 and F6 and F7 in ABAP coding?

    what is difference among F5 and F6 and F7 in ABAP coding ?  Can u give me any example regarding this thread ?

    Some additional info which can be quite helpful.
    a watchpoint is an indicator in a program that tells the ABAP runtime processor to interrupt the program at a particular point. Unlike breakpoints, however, watchpoints are not activated until the contents of a specified field change. Watchpoints, like dynamic breakpoints, are user-specific, and so do not affect other users running the same program. You can only define watchpoints in the Debugger.
    Use
    You set watchpoints in the Debugger to monitor the contents of specific fields. They inform you when the value of a field changes. When the value changes, the Debugger interrupts the program.
    Features
    · You can set up to five watchpoints in a program.
    See also Setting Watchpoints.
    · You can also specify the conditions under which a watchpoint is to become active.
    · You can specify a logical link for up to five (conditional) watchpoints.
    See also Specifying Logical Links.
    · You can define watchpoints as either local or global. If you define a global watchpoint, it is active in all called programs. Local watchpoints are only active in
    the specified program.
    · You can change and delete watchpoints.
    See Changing Watchpoints
    · You can use watchpoints to display changes to the references of strings, data and object references, and internal tables.
    See Memory Monitoring with Watchpoints
    Breakpoints
    Apart from being able to execute an ABAP program in the Debugger, you can also start the Debugger call by the choosing a breakpoint. This is achieved by setting one or more of these breakpoints in the program. A breakpoint is a signal at a particular point in the program that tells the ABAP runtime processor to interrupt processing and start the Debugger. The Debugger is activated when the program reaches this point.
    There is also a special kind of breakpoint called a watchpoint. When you use watchpoints, the Debugger is not activated until the contents of a particular field change. For more information, refer to the chapter Watchpoints.
    Breakpoint Variants
    The Debugger contains different breakpoint variants:
    Static
    A user-specific breakpoint is inserted in the source code as an ABAP statement using the keyword BREAK-POINT. A non user-specific breakpoint is set in the ABAP Editor using the BREAK user name statement.
    Directly set
    dynamic breakpoints
    Can be set in the ABAP Editor or the Debugger by double-clicking a line, for example. Dynamic breakpoints are always user-specific, and are deleted when you log off from the R/3 System.
    Breakpoints
    at statements
    The Debugger stops the program immediately before the specified statement is executed.
    Breakpoints
    at subroutines
    The Debugger stops the program immediately before the specified subroutine is called.
    Breakpoints at function modules
    The Debugger stops the program immediately before the specified function module is called.
    Breakpoints at methods
    The Debugger stops the program immediately before the specified method is called.
    Breakpoints at exceptions and system exceptions
    The Debugger stops the program immediately after a system exception, that is, after a runtime error has been intercepted.
    Static Breakpoints
    Static breakpoints are always user-independent if there is no specification of a user name. Once a user has inserted the statement BREAK-POINT or BREAK name in an ABAP program, the system always interrupts the program at that point for that user or only for the user name. This procedure is only useful in the development phase of an application when program execution is always to be interrupted at the same place. For more information, refer to the chapter Static Breakpoints.
    In HTTP sessions, a static breakpoint is skipped if you did not set additional dynamic HTTP breakpoints in the editor of a BSP page. Instead, a corresponding system log entry is written, which can be checked using transaction SM21.
    Dynamic Breakpoints
    Dynamic breakpoints are user-specific. Therefore, you should use them if you only want the program to be interrupted when you run it yourself, not when it is being executed by other users. All dynamic breakpoints are deleted when you log off from the R/3 System.
    Dynamic breakpoints are more flexible than static breakpoints because you can deactivate or delete them at runtime. They have the following advantages:
    · You do not have to change the program code.
    · You can set them even when the program is locked by another programmer.
    · You can define a counter that only activates the breakpoint after it has been reached.
    Special dynamic breakpoints are useful when you want to interrupt a program directly before a particular ABAP statement, a subroutine, or an event, but do not know exactly where to find it in the source code. Event here is used to refer to the occurrence of a particular statement, for example, or calling up a method. Special dynamic breakpoints are user-specific. You can only set them in the Debugger. For more information, refer to the chapter Dynamic Breakpoints.
    In HTTP sessions, the system stops both at static and dynamic breakpoints if a dynamic breakpoint was set in the editor of a BSP page before program execution.
    Lifetime and Transfer of Breakpoints
    A static breakpoint remains intact as long as the BREAK-POINT or BREAK-POINT name statement is not removed from the source code. Without saving, dynamic breakpoints only remain intact in the relevant internal session. However, they remain in effect during the entire user session if they are saved by choosing the menu path Breakpoints ® Save in the ABAP Debugger. For more details on the subject of user sessions and modes, refer to Modularization Techniques in the ABAP keyword documentation.
    If you call an HTTP session during a user session, only the HTTP breakpoints are loaded when the HTTP session is started. You activate HTTP debugging in the ABAP Editor by choosing Utilities ® Settings ® HTTP Debugging. Depending on the setting, the system then displays either the HTTP or standard breakpoints in the Editor.
    If you call an update session during a user session, breakpoints that were defined beforehand in the calling processing unit are copied to the new update session, where they can be displayed under Breakpoints. If, in the ABAP Debugger, you check Update Debugging under Settings and then, for example, call the update module func using CALL FUNCTION func IN UPDATE TASK, a new window is opened in which you can debug this function module in the update session. All the breakpoints that were set in the calling processing unit can also be processed here.
    we can keep them at :
    Statements
    Subroutines
    Function Module Calls
    at Methods
    System Exceptions
    break point :
    we can start debugging from that point or if we keep break point at some place we can directly got ot htat point using f6.
    watch point: for example if we have to check the output for 4000 records based on a field value i.e.for vendor number 'in'we have to check then we will create watchpoint on field LIFNR value '2000'. then we can directly go to vendor whose numbe ris 2000
