Basic ABAP doubts

Hi Experts,
got some basic doubts..hope ppl can help me tackle them..
1. y is sapscript client-specific when smartforms are cross-client ?
2. why exactly are reference fields required for Currency n Quantity Fields ?
3. In SE93, while creating a transaction for an executable program, no variant comes in F4 even wen we have created one for the program, n wen we type in the variant, it says the Transaction is inconsistent.. is it because transaction is cross-client whereas variant is not ??
4. where is DDIC placed?? i mean is it in database or Application server ?
5. why do we need to have a Value table ?
Please dont copy & paste from existing sources..it wud be great if u cud explain in ur own wrds...
all answers wud be appropriately rewarded..
thanks.
bikash

thanks for the reply guys..
Andreas,it wud ve been better if u explain ur answers.
pawan.
1. smartform when activated generates a function module which becomes part of DDIC. so client-independent ... ( arent transparent tables part of DDIC ??? they are client-dependent though )...
2. bcoz when u say amounts like 1000 rupees, 1000 refers to amount and rupees refers to currency unit.
thats ok pawan, but how does it matter if it is rupees or USD or EURO..its anyway a field with lets say 13 digits n 2 decimals..n also the field contains only 1000, not the rupees, that part anyway can be got from the currency field.....
3. did u test in a multiple-client system?? ie, it comes in IDES over here too, i think dats because IDES doesnt have multiple client..
Also, if it has come in a multiple client system, wat ll happen if u run that transaction in a client in which that variant is not there..it ll throw an error right??
4. wat my doubt is that anything that is there, also the definitions has to be stored someweher right?? so isnt the database where everything including the dictionary is stored??
awaiting ur useful responses...

ABAP objects - basic ques

Hi all,
I need to display the fields of the structure USR_ROLE_Z by using the method DESCRIBE_BY_NAME of the class CL_ABAP_TYPEDESCR and then get the attribute COMPONENTS of the instanciated object of the class CL_ABAP_STRUCTDESCR.
The method DESCRIBE_BY_NAME of the class CL_ABAP_TYPEDESCR has the following parameters:
P_NAME          importing     typed           ANY
P_DESCR_REF     returning     typed ref to     CL_ABAP_TYPEDESCR
The class CL_ABAP_STRUCTDESCR is inherited from the class CL_ABAP_TYPEDESCR.
The class CL_ABAP_STRUCTDESCR has an attribute COMPONENTS typed ABAP_COMPDESCR_TAB (internal table)
The ABAP_COMPDESCR_TAB has the structure ABAP_COMPDESCR.
The structure ABAP_COMPDESCR contains the following fields:
     LENGTH               typed           I
     DECIMALS               typed           I
     TYPE_KIND(1)          typed          C
     TYPE_NAME(30)          typed          C
How do i write the above programatically?
Thanks.

Hello
I am not sure about what you mean by "... display fields of structure ..." yet the basic coding to extract metadata from you structure looks like this:
" Describe structure
go_sdescr ?= cl_abap_structdescr=>describe_by_name( 'USR_ROLE_Z' ).
LOOP AT go_sdescr->components INTO gs_component.
" Here you have basic technical data about the structure fields
ENDLOOP.

ABAP doubts/questions in developing Cusotmer Exit

Hi,
I found a customer exit for variables in one of the SDN docs and I have few ABAP questions in it. Function exit is EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001 and Include ZXRSU01. I would really appreciate if someone can help me with it.
1.     What exactly is an Include? As in this case ZXRSU01?
2.     What is the difference in the declaration DATA: xyz type d and DATA: xyz like ..
3.     I have two declarations in a user exit DATA: L_S_RANGE TYPE RSSR SRANGESID and LOC_VAR_RANGE LIKE RRRANGEEXIT. What does RSSR SRANGESID and RRRANGEEXIT correspond to?
4.     What is I_STEP, there is a statement which says I_STEP=2. What are the all the possible values for I_STEP. As in 2 here is after the popup.
5.     Also what exactly is I_STEP?
6.     What does I_VNAM and I_T_VAR_RANGE correspond to? (If I am not wrong it corresponds to variable name)
7.     From where can I get a list of all such standard variables like I_STEP, I_VNAM
Thank you,
sam

Your explanation is good. But right now I am working developing a customer exit for BEx variable. Can you please explain questions above in context to the code below:
DATA: L_S_RANGE TYPE RSR_S_RANGESID.
DATA: LOC_VAR_RANGE LIKE RRRANGEEXIT.
Data: v_loc_date type d.
Data: v_loc_date1 type d.
Data: v_loc(4) type c.
CASE I_VNAM.
to calculate "month to date" user input is "Calday" Key Date
WHEN 'ZPUTMNTH'.
IF I_STEP = 2. "after the popup
LOOP AT I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE
WHERE VNAM = 'ZPDATE'.
CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
L_S_RANGE-LOW = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW(6). "low value, e.g.YYYYMM (200606) part of key date (20060625)
L_S_RANGE-LOW+6(2) = '01'. low value e..g. YYYYMM01 (20060601)
L_S_RANGE-HIGH = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW. "high value = input
L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'BT'.
APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
EXIT.
ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.

HR ABAP doubts

Hii All-
I have a requirement to fetch all the full time/part time active employees from the start date of the reporting period. The report must be able to be run for past and future periods and only include the active employees based on the start date selected.
In the above scenario, should I have to use RP-PROVIDE-FROM-LAST OR use PROVIDE-ENDPROVIDE to fetch the data from INfo types??
Another question is, what report category should I have to use here? How can I assign report category to the report??
I shall reward the helpful answers.
Tx

Hi Shakir,
First of all you have to assign logical database name say PNP in the attributes of the program. After assigning the logical data base, you can see teh button below with HR REPORT CATEGORY. Click on that and select Master dat(infotypes) radio button. After that go for f4 help to see the existed HR report categories. From that you select one which contains the fields you want. If you are not able to find Hr report category with the fields you want then you need to create your own report category with the fields you want.
If you want to select only active employees
RP-PROVIDE-FROM-LAST p0000 space pn-begda pn-endda.
CHECK P0000-STAT2 = '3'.
note: '3' or some other value based on the values stored in infotype 0000 for the employment status.
if employee is not active then it will skip that employee and selects the next employee.

HR ABAP Doubt

Hi,
I have two pieces of code and i thought they will do the same , but they have different outputs. Please let me know why i get different outputs.
code 1:
REPORT ZBALAHRTEST.
data i type i.
nodes pernr.
INFOTYPES : 0000,0001,0002,0003,0004,0005,0006,0007.
get pernr.
if p0001-pernr = '0000001'.
   write : p0001-begda , p0001-endda.
endif.
Output:
23.09.2008 31.12.9999
The second code.
REPORT ZBALAHRTEST1.
tables pa0001.
SELECT * from pa0001 where pernr = '00000001'.
write :/, pa0001-begda,pa0001-endda.
ENDSELECT.
Output:
01.06.2008 22.09.2008
23.09.2008 31.12.9999
does this mean get pernr retrieves only the latest record from the infotype.
Kindly help gurus.
Thanks in advance,
Bala

ABAP: very basic syntax question

Hi,
Why doesn't this compile? skwfc_prop_relative_url a constant in type group SKWFC.
data: LS_PROP type SDOKPROPTY.
LS_PROP-NAME = skwfc_prop_relative_url.
Compile error:
"LS_PROP-" expected, not "SKWFC_PROP_".
Thanks!
Jeroen

Hi jeroen,
1. just include the type pool, ten it will work.
TYPE-POOLS : SKWFC.
data: LS_PROP type SDOKPROPTY.
LS_PROP-NAME = skwfc_prop_relative_url.

Chandra,
1. How do u check data consistency in BDC?
    Can you explain a little more.
2. what exactly difference between header data(VBAK) , item data(VBAP) and shedule data( VBEP).
    The data of a sales document is divided. Header data consists of details like Customer number, doc date etc. Item details are the material details that you are selling. Schedule data will contain the details of date on which you are going to deliver the goods.
3. functional flow of MM? with transaction codes?
   Create a RFQ / Quotation.
   Purchase Req - ME51n / ME52n / ME53n
   Release Purchase Req.
   Purchase Order - ME21n / 22n / 23n (Create with Ref to Prucahse Req or Quotation)
   Delivery / Goods Issue - MIGO

Copy Command in ABAP report

HI Gurus,
I have a ABAP report - basic list, with lot of batch data on it. based on the report they will copy the batch numbers and paste in standard transactions.
Users complaining to do a Ctrl + Y and then Ctrl + C then Ctrl + V to paste the batch numbers.
Is there anything we can do programatically using hot sopt on batch numbers so we get the selected BATCH and execute copy command programatically when they click on BATCH number on basic list.
All they need to do is Ctrl + V on standard transactions.
Is there anyway to achieve this?
Thanks Giri

Giri - you would probably get more results if you mark this as a question. That way you can assign po1nts to helpful answers.
In any event why don't you just do a CALL TRANSACTION when the user double clicks on a line?
