ABAP Dictionary Fields

Hi all,
I have a field related to vendor. It is ktokk. I just want to find out in which vendor master table it is existing like lfa1 or lfb1. What is the best way to find which field belongs to which table. Because If I am doing recording it is referring to structure.
Regards,
Varun.

In a lot of cases, the field names is the same as the data element that is used. In SE11, enter the data elment name ktokk and click the appropriate radiobutton, then click the where used. you will get a list. LFA1 is there. This will not always work if the data element name is different than the actual field name in the table.
Of cousre, if you have some idea about the tables, you can just enter the table name and do a "FIND" once the table fields are displayed.

Rich Heilman

RV13B is not defined in the ABAP dictionary

Hi Experts,
Iu2019ve a requirement to create a smartform,and then save it as a pdf and email. I have all of this done except for one part. At present my email address (for testing purposes) is hard coded as the email address. However I want to automatically pick up the email address to which my form is to be sent.
The email address is found in transaction mn22. The pdf will be emailed to RV13B-PARNR (Partner) based on KOMB-LGORT (storage location). Each storage location is unique.
Iu2019ve put in the following code:
SELECT PARNR FROM RV13B INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_vemail[]
WHERE stor_loc EQ KOMB-LGORT.
However Iu2019m getting the error RV13B is not defined in the ABAP dictionary as a table, projection view or database view.
Could anyone give me some help?
Thanks,
Mike.

Mike,
F1 Technical help will not give you the table name in some cases.Instead of the table it will refer to the structure.In such a case you need to get the corresponding table for that field either from SQL trace or searching the possible tables with such field using SE84 which requires a bit of analysis in zeroing on the correct table where you can get the appropriate data related to that field.
SE84>>ABAP Dictionary>>Fields>>table fields.
Give PARNR and get the list of the possible tables containing PARNR as a field.If one is aware of the functionality then it will be easier to zero in on the field and the corresponding table from that list.
SQL trace can help you in tracing out the possible tables used by a transaction code.ie if you do a SQL trace on VA01 you will come to know all the possible tables of VA01.
Thanks,
K.Kiran.

Field in structure 'is not defined in the ABAP Dictionary'

Hi,
I have created an Infoset (SQ01) based on an external program and structure.
These two things are required.
However when I try to generate my Infoset I get an error message for each element in the structure I created in SE11.
The error is:
"<structure_name-field_name> is not defined in the ABAP Dictionary"
Each element in my structure gives this error yet I have defined this in SE11 as a structure and activated it.
These elements are included in my Infoset and as a field group in the infoset.
Has anyone come across this error before and knows how to resolve this problem?
Many Thanks
David

Hey,

hi experts,
what is value table&check table in abap dictionary.
where we use it. and what is the purpose.
thank u,
cnu

Hi,
Check this link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/e2/667092730811d2959500a0c929b3c3/content.htm
Value Table
This is maintained at Domain Level.
When ever you create a domain , you can entered allowed values. For example you go to Domain SHKZG - Debit/credit indicator. Here only allowed values is H or S.
When ever you use this Domain, the system will forces you to enter only these values.
This is a sort of master check . To be maintained as a customization object. This mean that if you want to enter values to this table you have to create a development request & transport the same.
Check table
For example you have Employee master table & Employee Transaction table.
When ever an employee Transacts we need to check whether that employee exists , so we can refer to the employee master table.
This is nothing but a Parent & Child relationship . Here data can be maintained at client level , no development involved.
As per DBMS what we call foregin key table, is called as check table in SAP.
There is 1 more important Difference in Value Table and Check Table is that:
1. The contents of the check will be used as an input help(F4 Help) for a particular field on which a check table is assigned.
But the contents of Value Table are never used in Input Help.
The Heirarchy which decides from where to used the Input Help is:
1. Input help defined explicitly in ABAP Program or Dialog Module.
2. Input Help Attached to the referenced Database Table field.
3. Using the contents of Check Table as an input help if neither (1) or (2) help are there.
4. Input help from Fixed value or Value range given in Domain.

Hope thsi helps.

What is use of Conversion Routine in Abap dictionary

Hi,
Can any body please tell me the proper use of Conversion Routine in Abap dictionary.
Please give me a practical example where it has been used.
Thanks
prabhudutta

hi,
here is help for conversion routine
Conversion takes place when converting the contents of a screen field from display format to SAP-internal format and vice versa and when outputting with the ABAP statement WRITE, depending on the data type of the field.
If standard conversion is not suitable, it can be overridden by specifying a conversion routine in the underlying domain.
A conversion routine is identified by its five-place name and is stored as a group of two function modules. The function modules have a fixed naming convention. The following function modules are assigned to conversion routine xxxxx:
CONVERSION_EXIT_xxxxx_INPUT
CONVERSION_EXIT_xxxxx_OUTPUT
The INPUT module performs the conversion from display format to internal format. The OUTPUT module performs the conversion from internal format to display format.
If a screen field refers to a domain with a conversion routine, this conversion routine is executed automatically each time an entry is made in this screen field or when values are displayed with this screen field.

Raghavendra

Customise table inconsistency between ABAP Dictionary and the databas

Hi all,
I have encountered a problem where by, I was not able to activate a table due to inconsistency between ABAP Dictionary and the database.
After I run the SE14--> Check Database object. It has show that there is a missing Unique Index(Primary Index) at the Database Level, but at ABAP Dictionary it is there.
I have try to recreate the primary index at the Database level, but failed. Because one of the primary key field is been dropped from this table.
So now, may I know how can I still make this table Active again?
Is it save to folllow the following solution that I found on internet?
Syntax error in SDCC, table inconsistency between ABAP Dictionary and the database, transport error 8 during the generation of ABAP Dictionary. When you call Transaction SDCC, a termination occurs due to a putative syntax error because a table is not known or active. When you check this with the ABAP dictionary (SE11), you notice, that the table is active or inactive, however it is not possible to activate it. The activation might terminate with the error message 'Inconsistency between ABAP Dictionary and database'. A check of the affected object also delivers this error.
Solution
Proceed as follows:
Log on as user DDIC
Call Transaction SE14
Enter the affected table name and
select EDIT
In the following screen, choose Table -> Reconstruct
Confirm the execution
Call Transaction SE11
Enter the affected table name
Display
Activate
Thanks.

What are the basic objects in abap dictionary ?

Try to provide the details if anyone knows about it.

The DDIC is nothing but the ABAP Dictionary. The ABAP Dictionary centrally describes and manages all the data definitions used in the system.
Data types
Data types are the actual type definitions in the ABAP Dictionary. They allow you to define elementary types, reference types, and complex types that are visible globally in the system. The data types of database tables are a subset of all possible types, namely flat structures.
Data Elements
Data elements in the ABAP Dictionary describe individual fields. They are the smallest indivisible units of the complex types described below, and are used to specify the types of columns in the database. Data elements can be elementary types or reference types.
Structures
A structure is a sequence of any other data types from the ABAP Dictionary, that is, data elements, structures, table types, or database tables. When you create a structure in the ABAP Dictionary, each component must have a name and a data type. In an ABAP program, you can use the TYPE addition to refer directly to a structure.
If you define a local data type in a program by referring to a structure as follows:
TYPES <t> TYPE <structure>.
Table Types
Table types are construction blueprints for internal tables that are stored in the ABAP Dictionary.
When you create a table type in the ABAP Dictionary, you specify the line type, access type, and key. The line type can be any data type from the ABAP Dictionary, that is, a data element, a structure, a table type, or the type of a database table. You can also enter a predefined Dictionary type directly as the line type, in the same way that you can with a domain.
Type Groups
Before Release 4.5A, it was not possible to define standalone types in the ABAP Dictionary to which you could refer using a TYPE addition in an ABAP program. It was only possible to refer SAP AG BC - ABAP Programming
Data Types in the ABAP Dictionary to flat structures. Structures in programs corresponded to the structures of database tables or structures in the ABAP Dictionary. In ABAP programs, you could only refer to database tables and structures in the ABAP Dictionary using LIKE. It was, however, possible to refer to individual components of the Dictionary type. Complex local data types such as internal tables or deep structures had no equivalent in the ABAP Dictionary. The solution to this from Release 3.0 onwards was to use type groups. Type groups were based on the include technique, and allowed you to store any type definitions globally in the Dictionary by defining them using TYPES statements.
Views:
There are 4 types views are avilable in SAP.
Database View - To club more than one table
Projection View - To hide fields in one table
Maintanance View - To maintain database records in table
Help View - To provide help for a fields (Same functionality as Search help. This is outdated)
View are improves perfromance in the following aspects
1. If you want to use more than two table in 'JOIN' condition better to use Views . It will improves performance of a program
2. If you want to use mutiple FOR ALL ENTRIES clause, better to club all SELECT statement in a view.
Lock Objects:
Lock objects are use in SAP to avoid the inconsistancy at the time of data is being insert/change into database.
SAP Provide three type of Lock objects.
Read Lock(Shared Locked)
protects read access to an object. The read lock allows other transactions read access but not write access to
the locked area of the table
Write Lock(exclusive lock)
protects write access to an object. The write lock allows other transactions neither read nor write access to
the locked area of the table.
Enhanced write lock (exclusive lock without cumulating)
works like a write lock except that the enhanced write lock also protects from further accesses from the
same transaction.
You can create a lock on a object of SAP thorugh transaction SE11 and enter any meaningful name start with EZ Example EZTEST_LOCK.
Use: you can see in almost all transaction when you are open an object in Change mode SAP could not allow to any other user to open the same object in change mode.
Example: in HR when we are enter a personal number in master data maintainance screen SAP can't allow to any other user to use same personal number for changes.
Technicaly:
When you create a lock object System automatically creat two function module.
1. ENQUEUE_<Lockobject name>. to insert the object in a queue.
2. DEQUEUE_<Lockobject name>. To remove the object is being queued through above FM.
You have to use these function module in your program.
Search Helps:
These are two types.
Elementary n Collective.
1) Elementary search helps describe a search path. The elementary search help must define where the data of the hit list should be read from (selection method), how the exchange of values between the screen template and selection method is implemented (interface of the search help) and how the online input help should be defined (online behavior of the search help).
2) Collective search helps combine several elementary search helps. A collective search help thus can offer several alternative search paths.
3)An elementary search help defines the standard flow of an input help.
4) A collective search help combines several elementary search helps. The user can thus choose one of several alternative search paths with a collective search help.
5)A collective search help comprises several elementary search helps. It combines all the search paths that are meaningful for a field.
6)Both elementary search helps and other search helps can be included in a collective search help. If other collective search helps are contained in a collective search help, they are expanded to the level of the elementary search helps when the input help is called.
