Abap general

what is the alternate for SELECT ..... DISTINCT statement .
diiference b/w the sy-tabix and sy-index .can we check sy-subrc after the PERFORM statement .

Hi
sy-index---used only with other than IT like DO.. WHILE..etc for counting loop literations
sy-tabix--used only for IT for counting the row numbers.
sy-subrc for PERFORM --i dont think so but am not sure.

ABAP General Doubt!

Hi all!
I want to know in future abap was replacing by java then what about abap programmers i am intrested in abap than java what will happen to abapers like me what i ve to do now.
Do i ve a good career in abap if i study abap pls give your suggestions.
Thanking you all for your replies
Rahul.

Hi Rahul,
Java cannot Replace ABAP at Point of time as Java is following up ABAP in SAP.
Most of the Products getting released in SAP are based on ABAP than Java..
Java is the second best language to learn in SAP.ABAP is the Star alwayz..
Nothing can beat ABAP.Go ahead with ABAP.
Cheers,

ABAP General forum - 22 pages of posts in one day - wtf ?

I don't have a project right now, so I was perusing the ABAP forum for whatever looked interesting.
I noticed 22 pages of posts just today 11 Feb. With 15 posts per page that's 330 post/replies in one day!
WTF is up with that, a little too crazy isn't it ?

The turnover in the ABAP Development forums has always been fast (hence also the temptation to duplicate post, instead of following up with more infos from having made some headway on your own while waiting for answers)...
Since a few days, there has been a steady increase and it is very busy at the moment.
I am not sure what the equilibrium thread-per-minute rate is before people reach the search-first-coeffecient, but it is approaching hopefully.
I am trying to look on the bright side of it...
Cheers,
Julius

ABAP General Forum in Santa mode for the next 10 days.

Dear gurus,
In an attempt to close some threads neglected by the OP's this year and achieve SDN's goals with regards to points (see the Welcome thread about the UN food program and other donations made by SAP based on annual contributions) I will be combing through selected threads from the current year and closing them as moderator.
It will be impossible to do a perfect and complete job of this, but I will try my best to be fair and concentrate on those who have contributed valueable inputs of information but not been recognized appropriately.
Feel welcome to post links to threads which you feel are candidates for me to take a look into, or even add to the "FAQ & Memorable threads" sticky. You can also contact me via my Business Card details.
Also please close your own threads and do not dump them all to the top again unless there is a good reason to comment further (the comment field is not mandatory!)
Cheers and merry christmas to all,
Vijay

OK - I got a really interesting question down in ABAP General and NW AppSer

This one is so interesting that I thought I'd draw a little extra attention to it here.
See:
Hang on to your hats! (shared buffer in multi-WAS/multi-update process env)
or:
Hang on to your hats! (shared buffer in multi-WAS/multi-update process env)
Any and all informed opinion welcome.

This is really cool: the export to database statement with a given key value for ID replaces what's already in the table for the same key value.
To see that this is true, copy the system table INDX to a custom table called ZINDX_QM (so you won't have to change the code below.) Activate this custom table.
Then run the following code twice as follows:
1) the first time, leave the value of wa_stuff as it is declared, i.e.:
"This is some stuff"
2) the second time, change the value of wa_stuff to:
"This is some stuff - pass 2."
You'll see that the second value has replaced the first value in the custom table.
So the export to database statement actually does a "replace", not an "append", if the key value is already in the table.

How to send a http-request from abap?

I want to send a xml file through a http-request ,what should i do?

Error in Abap Application Program

I am getting following dump .
The current ABAP program SAPMSSY1 had to be terminated because it has come across a statement that unfortunately not executed.
Error analysis: An RFC call (Remote Function Call) was sent with the invalid user ID "JLIANG ". Or the calling system is not registered as trusted system in the target system.
It also saying The function module "SLIM_CONTROL_USMM" is called,
but cannot be found in the library.
above error I am getting how to correct the error.

Hi,
Try to put this kind of questions in ABAP general forum for a prompt reply.
First check the Remote Connection using the Tcode SM59 and that the user is correct or not. The user must be existing in the Remote System.
For the second part of the program you need to check in the destination system whether the function module is existing or not. Also check whether the latest ABAP SP has been applied or not.
Hope this will help.
Thanks,
Samantak.

Find/Find Next Behavior in ALV in container in ABAP OO

I have an ALV grid in a custom container that's sized for a screen on a high-resolution tube. In other words, there's a scrollbar on the ALV but none on the screen itself (because the whole screen is visible at the high resolution.)
At this high resolution, a find or find next will correctly scroll the ALV to the row in which an item is found (when the "found" row is below the currently visible row of the ALV.)
But when I switch to a lower resolution where I have a scroll bar on the ALV and on the window itself, a find or find next does not scroll the ALV properly. You have to manually scroll to find the found row.
Yes - I have both resizings checked on the container.
Is there a way I can:
1) find the resolution the user is in?
2) modify the screen size to fit this resolution?
3) modify the container size to fit this resolution?
Thanks
djh

Calgar -
This is the same thing that Thomas (Jung) suggested in an old ABAP General thread.
But I've done it, and it doesn't work.
Also, I don't understand why I'm getting a scroll bar for the ALV as well as for the screen.
I thought if I did what you and Thomas said, I would only see the scroll bar for the screen and not the ALV.
Any other ideas ????
Thanks
djh

What the **** is going on in the ABAP forums?!

I've been away from SDN for a few months due to work comitments and am only just starting to browse regularly again...
I can't believe how bad the standard of questions and answers in the ABAP-General forum has got. I thought it was as bad as it could get but i was wrong. Simple, repetitive questions. Massive cut and paste answers that often have nothing to do with the question. Everyone saying Please reward with points often after supplying a wrong/inacurate/irrelevant answer. Constant streams of interview questions. Same answers being copied and pasted again and again by different people... The problems go on and on and we've seen them all before, yet it still seems like hardly anything is being done about it.
Seriously, what is the point?! I know the moderators must be hard pushed to manage it all but isn't there a way to clean it up a bit please? It's painful to browse at the moment.
As far as I'm concerned, the forums are a bit of a waste of time and space at the moment as the content is so watered down with rubbish unless you are about to write your first ABAP program they are of no use to anyone.

I'm glad this topic still gets a lot of interest and there are still people on here who are actually bothered.
Rob, I think your answer is my favourite and is certainly the one my colleagues and I come up with the most.
As pointed out, there will always be people who are too lazy/uneducated/short of time/whatever to do their own job or to research a problem they are having. Nothing we can do will ever make that go away. The issue is how we react and deal with it.
I don't believe charging for SDN is the answer - a lot of people will move back to SAPFans.com and/or other sites and as someone else has said, people will feel they have the right to post the rubbish if they are paying.
We've all been over this topic numerous times and on each occaision a common output is everyone wants to see more and stricter moderation. I honestly believe a moderating approach similar to SAPFans.com would help a great deal in cutting out the root cause - things like people asking for points and people posting CV's are symptoms or effects of the fact original posters are allowed to ask stupid questions or ask for fake resumes. Things like using "Hi" in the subject of a message or not bothering to search before asking what regular SDN contributors/readers know is a common question can all be cut out with simple moderation.
So we come back to moderation of the forums - something we've gone over time and time before.
Blag, I can see you have been sorely missed in the forums - you were still very active last time I was on regularly and I can see a big difference between then and now. Although you may feel like it is an uphill struggle you were obviously making a big difference. It's a shame there aren't more of you
Nick, I've just seen your response whilst writing this and you raise an interesting point I've not considered before about managers having an input in the use of SDN. I think the problem here is that (certainly in my opinion) the majority of the noise appears to originate from off-shored resource which typically will be quite removed from their customer/manager/employer. In some ways I've always considered the explosion of the IT market in India for example to be working against itself - there appears to be more jobs that suitably qualified workers leading to the state we have now of fake CV's and people in jobs who don't know what they are doing. I'm guessing management in this scenario will be happier to have a team of people producing all of their work with SDN's help rather than a team of fully certified, heavily experienced consultants who are too expensive to obtain any off-shoring work...
I also agree that removing the points system won't necessarily solve all of the perceived problems - again I think points abuse is something else stricter moderation could help to remove.
Anyway, before I really get on my soapbox I'm going to stop rambling
Gareth.
