ABAP Object Generator/converter

Has anyone come across a function module or class-method that will create, define and build a ABAP Object Class?
Inbound interface would need to include the basics of the Class definition (e.g., class name, supertype, methods, functions to convert to methods ...)

Jay

Hi,
I havent tried this FM, but i think this should do the job.

Abap Objects generating List Trees and Grids

Hi Friends,
Please provide me the Information for how to work with ABAP OBJECTS creating(and manipulating)the combination of List Trees and Grids.
Regards,
Sowjanya

There are a couple of examples programs, You can start by checking out transaction DWDM for some of the basic ABAP oo controls. You can also check out any program which begins with BCALV* for examlple of ALV grids, trees, and lists.

Error : while converting a WD ABAP object into SAP Transaction

Hi,
I am trying to converting a WD ABAP object into SAP Transaction but i am getting the following error while executing the transaction :

> ISA Server is not configured to allow SSL requests from this port. Most Web browsers use port 443 for SSL requests. (12204)
This seems to be your specific network configuration. It seems that your corporate network is blocking HTTPS requests which don't use port 443. Your ABAP system is configured to use a port other than 443. Either talk to your basis admins about changing your ABAP system configuration to use port 443 or talk to your network administrators to allow whichever port the ABAP system is running on.

Download/upload abap objects to/from local PC

Hi all,
 I need to download objects of a tcode (like includes, reports etc) on to PC and upload it to different server. Can anybody please send me the programs to upload and download objects.
Thanks in Advance

REPORT ZUPDOWNPROGRAMS LINE-SIZE 132 LINE-COUNT 62 NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING.
This program up / downloads from / to a local dataset
all the components of an ABAP - i.e TEXTS, the entire CUA
including statuses and menus, DYNPROS and source code.
Program documentation and variants are not handled.
INCLUDED programs are automatically handled both on upload
or download. INCLUDE selection can be excluded or generic
e.g only handle INCLUDES starting with ZIN*
INCLUDES within INCLUDES also handled.
The only restriction is on UPLOAD the INCLUDED programs must come
from the same directory as the main program.
On Download of course the ABAP must exist in the library.
 Note for LINUX and BATCH users
This program was originally designed as a one off tool for
getting ABAPS etc from a SAP R2 (IBM MVS mainframe system) into
an R3 test system minimising the need for a large amount of
mainframe sysprogs (anybody remember what they were !!) time
and support to say nothing of access problems from TSO /JES2 /
SAP R2. At that time network connections were patchy and the
transport systems largely incompatable and not very reliable.
This program was originally designed as a one off tool for
Must run on Windows front end ---- If you are running SAP with
LINUX on your work station you will have to change the WS_UPLOAD
and WS_DOWNLOAD functions to reflect the Linux file system. The
contents of the data sets themseleves do not need to be changed
Program can easily be modified to run in batch and store
the data on a UNIX host. Change the WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD
to read from and write to UNIX data sets (OPEN FILE etc).
You will also need to modify the parts of the program that get
the DOS directory and display the Windows file paths.
The actual abap data sets do not need to be changed.
Rel 4.0 names can now be up to 40 bytes long
 Dynpros and CUA have changed from rel 3.1
 Tabstrips now loaded and unloaded in dynpros
 Please note restriction on 4.6 systems for users who
 have ABAP names which include '/'s in their names.
Rel 4.6b, 4.6c Abap names can include the '/' in their names
e.g /CUST1/CUST2/ORDER
This causes problems when storing to a local file.
a solution is to change the name to %CUST1%CUST2%ORDER i.e / will
be changed to %. On upload the % should be changed back to /
again. This change still needs to be implemented.
If you don't use the / in the abap name then this is not a problem.
If file to be uploaded is in rel 3 format then names are only 8
bytes long.
program uses 3 datasets per abap
 1) abapname.eee source, dynpr logic, texts, CUA stuff
 2) abapname.hhh dynpr header
 3) abapname.fff dynpro fields.
because of varying lengths and contents 3 data sets are used. The
complexity of combining all these to 1 data set would make the
program far too complex.
NOTE: This version of the program can only be used on
 release 4.0 or higher. Once an ABAP has been converted
 to rel 4.0 it cannot be converted back to rel 3.0
 on a release 3/3.1 system. Release 4 CUA tables
 are different. Use release 3 version of this program
 for releases 3.0 and 3.1. Available on SAPFANS website.
Note that data to be uploaded must have been previously downloaded
by this program (any version since rel 2.0) - except for Initial
Load -- see end of these comments.
 Dynpros and CUA statuses have changed since rel 3.1
 This program will handle rel 3.1 format on upload but will
 download in rel 4.0 format. To upload 3.1 format specify an 'X'
 in the rel3 parameter.
 If you have downloaded components in rel 4.0 format and you
 want to re-load to a 3.1 system you will have to load
 the source via standard upload and re-create dynpros and the CUA
 manually.
 As names can now be longer than 8 characters you can only
 use this program if the SAP front end (SAPGUI) supports
 long file names (WIN 95/98 or WIN NT). Windows 3.x will not
 work as the underlying DOS system cannot handle long file names.
 UPLOAD function and DOS directory.
When an ABAP is selected for UPLOAD then the DOS
directory is read into a table. A file called ABAP.BAT is created,
and down loaded to the 'C' drive and executed.
This file executes a DOS DIR command and pipes the output
into a dataset which is then uploaded into an internal
table on SAP.
Note on running DOS commands from ABAP
The first time this procedure is executed you will see a DOS window
which you will have to close manually. To get round this
use windows explorer to select the file ABAP.BAT and then
right mouse click on the file name. Select the
properties window. From this click the CLOSE on EXIT box. This
will then automatically close the DOS function after it has
executed. (Windows restriction).
The DOS function has not been tested using Windows 2000 so
it might not work. OK on W95,W98,WME and Windows NT (No Thanks)
If INCLUDE programs are wanted on UPLOAD only the specified
directory is searched.
Instead of entering path name manually you can click on
the path parameter. Because of Windows restriction you will
have to select ANY file in the relevant directory.
The path will then be copied on to the selection screen.
To do still : Merge 3 files to one and compress output to .ZIP file
 fix 4.5 4.6 problem of abaps containing '/' in the name
 possibility to automatically up / download referenced
 function modules with selection criteria like INCLUDES
To load the ist time into a system.
Create program with ABAP editor and Upload the .EEE file.
Delete ist line (????SRCE) in the ABAP EDITOR --NOT THE DISK FILE
Delete all the source from the line that starts ????TEXT (towards
the end file) till the end so the last line in your source is ENDFORM.
DO NOT ALTER THE DISK FILE. DO THESE CHANGES IN THE ABAP EDITOR.
Save file and execute
Use following parameters (Note the ist time you won't get proper
text on the selection screen).
Function U
Path full dos path containing source e.g c:\abaps\
 NOTE YOU MUST ENTER THE FINAL \ as above.
REPID the program name. e.g ZZJIMHXX
 note that on the DISK you will see 3 files
 ZZJIMHXX.EEE, ZZJIMHXX.FFF, ZZJIMHXX.HHH
 just use the name before the dos qualifier - the
 program will do the rest
ignore other parameters
The program will then load itself with all the texts etc.
It should now be ready for use.

ABAP Objects and table processing (with logical databases)

I have a report that is written right now using procedural abap and a logical database. The report is structured follows (high level):
start-of-selection.
get pernr.
perform get_it0001 using wtab.
perform get_it0002 using wtab.
perform get_it0003 using wtab.
append wtab to itab.
end-of-selection.
call function 'reuse_alv_grid_display'
 exporting
 i_structure_name = 'itabstructure'
 tables
 t_outtab = itab.
So basically I'm going through a bunch of personnel numbers, getting a few infotypes and outputting to ALV. I don't see where ABAP Objects is going to help me for this particular program.
Can somebody show me where OO ABAP would make this easier? Does it even make sense to use OO when you're processing with a logical database? (Not just PNP, but any logical database in general).
Thanks in advance.

Hello Lee
I assume that the routines GET_ITnnnn are written by yourself. For reading infotypes ABAP Objects provides us with same very helpful classes as shown below:
* define data
DATA:
 gif_employee type ref to if_pt_employee,
 go_employee type ref to cl_pt_employee,
 gt_infotypes TYPE tim_tmw_itlist_tab,
 go_control TYPE REF TO if_pt_td_control,
 go_data TYPE REF TO if_pt_td_base,
 go_pnnnn TYPE REF TO if_pt_td_itnnnn,
 gt_p0001 TYPE TIM_P0001_TAB,
 gt_p0002 TYPE TIM_P0002_TAB,
 gt_p0003 TYPE TIM_P0003_TAB.
start-of-selection.
GET pernr.
* Create employee instance
gif_employee = cl_pt_employee=>get_employee( pernr ).
go_employee ?= gif_employee.
* Get master infotypes (0001, 0002)
CALL METHOD go_employee->get_master_data
 EXPORTING
 im_begda = id_fromdate
 im_endda = id_todate
 IMPORTING
* EX_I0000 =
 EX_I0001 = gt_p0001
 EX_I0002 = gt_p0002
* EX_I0007 =
* EX_I0008 =
* Append all other required infotypes to itab
APPEND '0003' TO gt_infotypes.
CALL METHOD go_employee->get_infotypes
 EXPORTING
 i_itlist = gt_infotypes
 i_fromdate = id_fromdate " start date
 i_todate = id_todate " end date
* I_FILTER =
 i_noauthcheck = 'X'
 IMPORTING
 e_result = gt_infty_request
 e_retcd = gd_retcd.
* Please see documentation of parameter e_retcd...
LOOP AT gt_infty_request INTO go_control.
 go_data = go_control->data. " get data object
* Casting
 TRY.
 go_pnnnn ?= go_data.
 CATCH cx_sy_move_cast_error.
 CONTINUE.
 ENDTRY.
* Convert infotype (semi-transparent -> transparent)
 CALL METHOD cl_hr_pnnnn_type_cast=>prelp_to_pnnnn
 EXPORTING
 prelp = lo_pnnnn->prelp
 IMPORTING
 pnnnn = gs_p0003.
 APPEND gs_p0027 TO gt_p0003.
ENDLOOP.
The class CL_PT_EMPLOYEE provides us already with very easy access to so-called master infotypes (000, 0001, 0002, 0007 and 0008). All other infotypes can be read using method GET_INFOTYPES.
Using these classes we have a very convenient and standardized way of accessing all kinds of infotypes.

Uwe

Abap objects and selection screen

Hello everybody,
I am interested in your ways of implementing selection-screens in the style of ABAP Objects.
In earlier times (when I used to implement ABAP objects in a procedural way) I just put the selection-screen commands in an include or a form routine of my ABAP report. So it was possible to run the report in background.
Now I read something about selection-screens/dynpros and "separation of concerns" in the book "ABAP Objects" written by Keller. He advises using function groups to encapsulate presentation from logical matters. (Selection-screen commands are in an automatically generated include now). I implemented this way. (ABAP report with a local class, which has a main method, where function module of the function group is called). It works, but i see no chance to run my report in background now.. but I need to run the report in background.
Does anybody know a solution without deleting function group?
What do you think is the best way of using selection-screen-commands and ABAP Objects, especially regarding running in background?
Thx for your advise in advance.
Kind regards,
Anne

Hi Naimesh,
thx for explanation. I am not sure, if I understood everything in the right way.
Where do you write the code for building the selection-screen? (PARAMETERS, SELECT-OPTIONS etc.)
If you write these commands in a class method, you will get a syntax error ( because it's forbidden per definition of ABAP objects). So, am I right assuming that you put the coding just at the beginning of the ABAP report ? And after START-OF-SELECTION-event you start the processing... ?
Furthermore, I don't really understand why you create an separate class for ALV. I found your "SAP abap help"-blog, where you explained the concept of MVC ((By the way, well done!), but you didn't mention an "ALV class" there..
Mh.. another question - have you ever combined MVC with object services?
At the moment I'm working on a software project where I use object services. I created 2 persistent classes via SE24 and one local class in my ABAP Report.
I don't really see possibility to implement MVC in this project without change very much of coding and class structure...
In my opinion the M (data&business logic) are my existing global classes and my local class is kind of Controller class?!
Thx in advance,
Anne

ABAP reports to ABAP Objects

Hi all,
What are the steps to be taken while converting a normal ABAP report program to ABAP objects? Also, How do we write a module(of a module pool program) in ABAP objects?
Thanks in Advance,
Aswin

Use methods of a class instead of subrouties wherever possible.
Declare the global variables in the attributes section of a class.
Make sure that your design itself is more data centric than process centric.

Ravi

Major global classes used in abap objects

Hi,
I am new to the abap objects and till now i am to understand that the role of the global classes are important in the abap object program. I had tried to search on the net but i was not able to get the desired result.
I want to know which are the major global classes which are used in the ABAP objects.
Plzz provide me guidelines for it.

Ricx,
It depends on your requirement.
For alv's we use these global classes. For Webdynpro related alv we use different global classes.
CL_GUI_ALV_GRID (List Viewer)
CL_GUI_ALV_GRID_BASE (Basis Class for ALV grid)
CL_GUI_ALV_TREE (ALV Tree Control)
CL_GUI_ALV_TREE_SIMPLE (Simple ALV Tree)
CL_ALV_TABLE_CREATE (Dynamic Creation of ALV Data Table)
CL_ALV_TREE_BASE (Basis Class ALV Tree Control)
CL_CK_ALVTREE_NKEY_2_OBJECT (Converter Node Key Object)
CL_ALV_EVENT_DATA (Changing Data Container for Events)
CL_ALV_EVENT_TOOLBAR_SET (ALV Context menu)
Regards,
Arun.

ABAP Objects: Introduction to Programming SAP Applications

Hi, does anybody knows any tutorial that would explain me how to install and make available in my SAP installation the examples and database that comes with this book ABAP Objects: Introduction to Programming SAP Applications
The point is that i couldn't install the version of SAP BASIS that came with the book ( it was SAPmini BASIS 4.6D) on my Windows XP. Instead, i've installed Mini WAS 6.20 with Front-End 6.40 and i'd like to use it while studying the same book.
any ideas?
sorry, may be it could sound obviuos for some of you, but i'm complete SAP virgin

Not sure if this data generator is available in 6.20 or now. SAPBC_TOOLS_GENERATOR_NEW Run this program to generate the data for the FLIGHT tables.
Then you should check out the example programs which start with BCALV* and also check out transaction code DWDM.

Module pool programming with Abap Objects

Hi masters,
Somebody tell me that you can directly call a local class in a module pool.
Is that possible?
Can anybody refer me to any kind of information?
Thanks a lot.

Well, thanks for the answer, but not was the one i was waiting for... it wasn't helpful.
But, i've continued searching for answers... and i've found that:
OO Transactions Locate the document in its SAP Library structure
In transaction maintenance (SE93), you can specify a transaction code as an OO transaction.
You either link the transaction code to the Transaction Service of the Structure link ABAP Object Services for persistent objects or to a public method of a global or local class of a program. When calling up a transaction that is linked to an instance method, the system automatically generates an instance of the class in its own internal session.
An example of a link between a transaction code and an instance method of a local class of an unspecified ABAP program:
Example
*& Modulpool DEMO_OO_TRANSACTION *
program DEMO_OO_TRANSACTION.
class DEMO_CLASS definition.
public section.
methods INSTANCE_METHOD.
endclass.
class DEMO_CLASS implementation.
method INSTANCE_METHOD.
message 'Instance method in local class' type 'I'.
endmethod.
endclass.
The DEMO_OO_TRANSACTION program is a module pool of type M that does not contain any screens or dialog modules. Instead, the program contains the definition of a local class DEMO_CLASS.
The DEMO_OO_METHOD transaction code is linked to this program as follows:
The start object of the transaction is Method of a class (OO transaction).
OO transaction model is not selected.
The Class Name is DEMO_CLASS.
The Method is INSTANCE_METHOD.
Local in program is selected and DEMO_OO_TRANSACTION specified.
When the transaction is called up, the program is loaded, an instance of the class is created, and the method is executed.
Leaving content frame
That's what i wanted.
I hope it would be helpful for anyone else.

About ABAP Object

Hello All,
i have some question about ABAP Object.
What is the meaning of friend class and singleton?
Regards,
Luke

Hi,
The addition Friends makes class class a friend of classes classi and or interfaces ifaci.At the sam time, all subclasses of classes classi, all classes that implement one of the interfaces ifaci and all interfaces that have one of the interfaces ifaci as a component interface become friends of class. you have to specify at least one class or interface.
The friends of a class have unrestricted access to the protected and private components of that class, and can generate unrestricted instances of the class.
The friends of class are not automatically friends of subclasses of class. the addition Friends does not make class a friend of its friends.
Thea ddition global is allowed only when you use the addition public for the global class of a class pool at the same time.You can list other global classes and interfaces from the class library after global friends.This addition is generated when the Class Builder creates a global class and you specified friends at the corresponding tab page of the class Builder.
`
In the example , classs c2 is a friend of interface i1, and therefore also of the implementing class c1. It can instantiate these objects and access their private component a1.
interface i1.
endinterface.
class c1 definition create private friends i1.
private section.
data a1(10) type c value 'Class 1'.
endclass.
class c2 definition.
public section.
interfaces i1.
methods m2.
endclass.
class c2 implementation.
method m2.
data oref type ref to c1.
create object oref.
write oref->a1.
endmethod.
enclass.

What are the differences between inactive and active ABAP objects?

Can anybody tell me what are the differences between inactive and active ABAP objects?
In my opinion, an active object is compiled and system wide available, that means the system do not have to compile the program again before run or use the object. While An inactive object is not system wide available and every time you run an inactive object, firstly the abap runtime will have to generate a tempory runtime object and this inactive object can not seen by others.
Am I right? Can anybody kindly tell me other differences?

Hi,
"When it is inactive, it is like it would not exist at all:" no - it's like it only exists to you
"If we just saved that one means it is stored in application server not in database": no - the inactive version is also stored in the database. You can log off and log on and it will still be there, in its inactive status.
"Only active objects can be executed.": no - inactive objects can be executed by you
When you create or modify a program, it is inactive until you activate it.
With a change, there are two versions of the program stored in the database - the active version (as it was before you made your change), and the inactive version. If you attempt to run the program, you'll run the inactive version - the one with your changes. Everyone else on the system will run the active version.
In this way, you can make changes without affecting anyone else.
Once you activate your program, then the inactive version becomes the active version.
With a create, there is no active version, until you hit the activate button. This means ONLY you can run the program.
An additional benefit of this model, is that if you make a change, save it, and then change your mind without activating, you can recover the active version into the editor, using version management.
A downside is that sometimes you have to activate your change before you can test it, if it interacts with other, active, programs.

Kumar

Dc 007- Control Framework: Invalid Processing of ABAP Object Control- DUMP

Hello,
we're upgrading to ECC6 and while running ALV report i get a dump that says that i'm trying to edit a control created with ABAP objects techniques using a function module.

Using new namespace for existing abap objects

Hi,
We have just reserved a namespace and want to move existing code (tabels, data-elements, ...) to this namespace. The issue we notice is that the namespace is added to the name of the abap-object, so that every code-reference to that object must be changed. This leads to a lot of work. Can this somehow be avoided?
Regards,
Jurgen

Hi Jurgen!
This can't be avoided, that's the very core of the names. Different question is: can this be automated. Not completely.
Fastest way (and it's really not so terrible as it seems):
- copy the objects to new names
- make where-used list to all objects (e.g. table name)
- search and replace in each object (e.g. include)
- generate new version
- delete old object
