ABAP FORM statement

Hello all,
I need some help in understanding structure of FORM statement.
FORM formA TABLES i_t_data STRUCTURE Z_BIW_KNA1_S.
Can someone explain me the significance of TABLES and STRUCTURE and their usage.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Sachin,
normally you don't need to declare tables in a program. What you need is a work area that might look like a table. This can be done by:
data: wa_kna1 type kna1.
And if you are doing a select you should not use
select * from kna1 ...
you should use
select * into wa_kna1 from kna1 ...
If you need to know more about these programming details you should post your questions in the abap forum.
Hope this helps!
regards
Siggi

ABAP "WRITE" Statements for Debugging

Just curious to know if one can use ABAP write statements in Update Rules for debugging and auditing, and where the results are actually written to, and if they're accessible via the AWB.
Thank you.

Jerry you can write to the monitor from within the update rules.
The debug message you were going to write out instead go ahead and append your message to the monitor structure.
FORM compute_data_field
TABLES MONITOR STRUCTURE RSMONITOR
USING COMM_STRUCTURE LIKE /BIC/CS8ZTESTODS
 RECORD_NO LIKE SY-TABIX
 RECORD_ALL LIKE SY-TABIX
 SOURCE_SYSTEM LIKE RSUPDSIMULH-LOGSYS
CHANGING RESULT LIKE /BIC/VZTESTCUBT-INVCD_QTY
 RETURNCODE LIKE SY-SUBRC
 ABORT LIKE SY-SUBRC.
You will then be able to view any messages you have added to the monitor in the monitor.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Where to do the abap sql statement in sapscript (PO)

Hi, all.
Hope anybody can guide me to find a solution.
My situation now is i have to do a purchase order in SAPSCRIPT starting from a standard po. I already found out all the related details as below:
Program           SAPFM06P
FORM routine      ENTRY_NEU
Form              MEDRUCK
So, now the problem now is I have to add some more data on my print out PO. After figure out for some time, I don't know where to do my abap sql statement. Like example, I want to retriece some data from the ADRC table. I opened the standard program SAPFM06P to add in the some sql statement, but i dun know where should i add in. Bcz if we straight away put the related ADRC field in our sapscript, it is useless, right?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot.
So, how should i add in code in order to fetch the data frm ADRC by using that routine. Because i only the codes like below. I don't where should i start add in.
Form entry_neu using ent_retco ent_screen.
data: l_druvo like t166k-druvo,
        l_nast like nast,
        l_from_memory,
        l_doc   type meein_purchase_doc_print.
clear ent_retco.
if nast-aende eq space.
    l_druvo = '1'.
else.
    l_druvo = '2'.
endif.
call function 'ME_READ_PO_FOR_PRINTING'
       exporting
            ix_nast        = nast
            ix_screen      = ent_screen
       importing
            ex_retco       = ent_retco
            ex_nast        = l_nast
            doc            = l_doc
       changing
            cx_druvo       = l_druvo
            cx_from_memory = l_from_memory.
check ent_retco eq 0.
call function 'ME_PRINT_PO'
       exporting
            ix_nast        = l_nast
            ix_druvo       = l_druvo
            doc            = l_doc
            ix_screen      = ent_screen
            ix_from_memory = l_from_memory
            ix_toa_dara    = toa_dara
            ix_arc_params = arc_params
            ix_fonam       = tnapr-fonam          "HW 214570
       importing
            ex_retco       = ent_retco.
endform.
Or i come wrong place to add in any coding. Plz guide me.
Thanks in advance.

EHP5 - Dump in WD ABAP form link in Portal

Hi Experts,
EHP5 has been upgraded in Portal.
Now whenever we are clicking any WD ABAP form link in Team Dashboard we are getting the following dump------
'An exception occurred that was caught'.
When we debugged the WD ABAP code we found the error in 'runtime->execute()' in the standard mehod 'Handle_Request()
in the standard class 'CL_WDR_CLIENT_ABSTRACT_HTTP' .
When EHP4 was there we were not getting such error but after the upgrdation of EHP5 we are getting this kind of dump.
Can you please provide the solution to resolve such kind of dump in EHP5?
Regards,
Anindita

Does it crash when "arriving" at the method and trying to execute the implementation (bad parameters?) or does it crash with in the handle_request itself? If it crashes within the method, can you debug to the point where the dump actually occurs?
Cheers, Lukas

Perform and Form statements

Hello,
can anyone give egs of using PERFORM and FORM statement. what do these statements do actually.

Can a system-variable passed in the The syntax of the FoRM statement

The syntax of the FoRM statement is
FORM {TABLES <t1><t2><t3>......} {USING <U1><U2><U3>.....} {CHANGING <C1><C2><C3>.....}
ENDFORM .
As all these are vvariables can a system-variable passed here
---if not why?

Hi,
Why do you need to pass the system variable to the form at the first place ? It would not be a good programming practice to pass a system variable to the form.
Hope this helps..
Thanks in advance,
Harikrishna.

Comparison between ABAP command statements in different versions

Hi,
I'm looking for information on version wise difference in ABAP statements. Can someone provide help in this area.
I need a list of Commands along with there syntax in different versions of ABAP (ECC 5.0 and 4.7).
Is there any system table where this information is maintained?
Regards,
Gajendra Bhatt

Hi Gajendra ,
I doubt if SAP has some document which shows the history of all ABAP commands as to how they behaved in which version. The only option you have is go through the following notes and compile the info manually -
0000178452 Release upgrade from 4.0 to 4.5 for customers prog
0000452229 Release upgrade from 6.10 to 6.20 for customer pro
0000178725 Release upgrade from 4.5 to 4.6 for customer progr
0000689951 Release upgrade from 6.20 to 6.40 for customer pro
0000178482 Rel. upgrade from 3.0 to 4.0 for customer programs
0000857904 0003 0.460 Upgrade from Release 6.40 to 7.0: Customer program
0000367676 0061 0.450 Release upgrade from 4.6 to 6.10 for customer prog
0000099025 0004 0.340 Change from 4.0A/B to 4.5A for customer programs

ABAP select statements takes too long

Hi,
I have a select statement as shown below.
SELECT * FROM BSEG INTO TABLE ITAB_BSEG
 WHERE BUKRS = CO_CODE
 AND BELNR IN W_DOCNO
 AND GJAHR = THISYEAR
 AND AUGBL NE SPACE.
This select statement runs fine in all of R/3 systems except for 1. The problem that is shown with this particular system is that the query takes very long ( up to an hour for if W_DOCNO consists of 5 entries). Sometimes, before the query can complete, an ABAP runtime error is encountered as shown below:
Database error text........: "ORA-01555: snapshot too old: rollback segment
number 7 with name "PRS_5" too small?"
Internal call code.........: "[RSQL/FTCH/BSEG ]"
Please check the entries in the system log (Transaction SM21). 
Please help me on this issue. However, do not give me suggestions about selecting from a smaller table (bsik, bsak) as my situation does not permit it.
I will reward points.

dont use select * ....
instead u declare ur itab with the required fields and then in select refer to the fields in the select .
data : begin of itab,
 f1
 f2
 f3
 f4
 end of itab.
select f1 f2 f3 f4 ..
 into table itab
from bseg where ...
. this improves the performance .
select * is not advised .

Can anyone tell me what should i do in the first WHEN statement to check the next segment qualifier.
Thanks and Waiting for your answer.

ur question is not clear...
Case w_e1edp02-qualf.
when '001'
clear lv-tabix.
lv_tabix = lv_tabix + 1. "seems u want to loop wa_edidd
Read int_edidd into wa_edidd index lv_tabix.
if wa_edidd-segnam = 'E1EDP05'
if wa-e1edp05-qualf = '002' " "is it the correct work area????
EXIT.

Adobe Muse - Contact Forms State not changing

Hey. So I've been playing around with Muse's contact form and changing the aesthetics of the forms (rounded corners, size, text color etc) up to when I came to changing the State of the contact boxes. They seem to show to work perfectly fine in the design mode when you check all rollover states, but when you preview the site in the browser or even in Muse's Preview mode, the changes don't seem to be exactly how you thought they would be. Specifically, I changed the alignment of the text in the box from left to centered, yet the normal state keeps it left (and italicized, which is default). Anyone know the fix to this?

Like I said, I made sure I changed all the states to the ones that I wanted yet the preview doesn't show the states as I wanted. My text box has left aligned text when i've made sure to center it several times.
This is what it looks like in the design mode in Muse. (Don't mind the Email/Password, I'm just designing, not for functionality.)
This is what it looks like once previewed in a browser. Upon clicking and submitting the text aligns in left as well.

ABAP - Case Statement

Hi ABAPers,
I have an ABAP code just like the pseudo code below.
Case Val.
When 'A'.
<Some Conditional Statements>.
When 'B'.
<Some Statements>.
endcase.
A and B values are depend on 'Val'.
My program executes the above code almost everytime. when the conditional statement of Case (A) is successful, then I dont want my program to execute the case(B).
When the conditional statement of case(A) is unsuccessful, then only i want to execute case (B). Can anyone please tell me how to correct my code to suit the above situation.
Thanks,
Creasy Matt
Edited by: Vijay Babu Dudla on Jan 19, 2009 11:20 PM

CASE uname.
 WHEN 'karthi'. " but work for caps letter . when 'KARTHI'.

ENDCASE.
Thank you friends

ABAP Forms - Number of Copies

Hello,
I am having problems with a form that I created in SAP. The form is for a barcode label. The only contents of the form is a text include and a call to an external report that pulls in data. When I call the form from a program that I wrote it always prints two copies. However when the form is called via MIGO, it only prints one copy. Does anyone know what could cause this? I have looked at the number of copies field in the itcpo that I pass the OPEN_FORM function routine. Any help would be appreciated

Hi Ryan,
Since you are getting two copies of same output, right. I suggest you to run the program in debug mode to see what actually happens during run time. Check simultaneously the way the program runs and the status of the list where the contents gets printed. You may come up with a solution. For debugging check this thread...
