ABAP/4 Query is a powerful tool to generate simple reports
without any coding. ABAP/4 Query can generate the following
3 simple reports: Basic List: It is the simple reports.
Statistics: Reports with statistical functions like Average,
Percentages. Ranked Lists: For analytical reports. - For
creating a ABAP/4 Query, programmer has to create user group
and a functional group. Functional group can be created
using with or without logical database table. Finally,
assign user group to functional group. Finally, create a
query on the functional group generated.

Performance of ABAP query program

Hi All,
A custom program AQNWZ_TALAT=====TCS_AP_ITEMS== is taking lot of time running. And when checked the cost of the select statement is very high.
I guessed it must be some custom abap query. Correct me if I am wrong.
Also please let me know how to do the performance tuning on this code? Should I be editing the program directly or should I edit at the abap query level.
Regards,
Pooja

>A few tips you can use for finetuning a Report
The actually a good collection of the most important pain points. But the recommendations are unfortunately quite poor, and even wrong. I have updated them a little bit.
And for German speaking people I have added a reference to a textbook, where arll my recommendations are explained in detail.
Siegfried
1) Use mostly primary key to access data.
... nonsense, the task determines the WHERE clause, it is not your choice
2) Before READ u sort the itab
No
3) use mostly the indexes fields in ur where clause.
... as 1, it is the other way, the task determines the WHERE-clause, make surwe that there is an index which
supports it
4) Restrict the the fields retrieved by your select sentences to the minimal set. (Avoid select *)
nonsense, most SELECT use and must use *, use field list in wide tables
5) try to use specify where clause so the abap sql optimizer chooses the right index.
o.k., but who understands that in depth?
6) Avoid sentences like select lifnr name1 into corresponding fields of lfa1 from lfa1 where....
feel free to use if required
(You should declare a working area and select into the working area, is twice faster)
... such general statements are always incorrect
7) use hashed tables instead of standard tables. They are faster
no, use sorted tables, hashed are very special and can only be used if there is a unique key
8) avoid the use of collect as much as you can.
total nonsense, use collect with hashed tables, works perfect, if you use it with standard tables, do not mix it with other statements
1 Always check the driver internal tables is not empty , while using FOR ALL ENTRIES
100% correct
2 Avoid for all entries in JOINS
... not generally true
3 Try to avoid joins and use FOR ALL ENTRIES.
... hmmm, there are pages of discussions, this statement was wrong, is wrong and will be wrong!!!
4 Try to restrict the joins to 1 level only ie only for 2 tables
nonsense, joins are complicated, you must know hw indexes are used, if everything is fine, then 10 or 20 tables can be joined
5 Avoid using Select *.
see 4)
6 Avoid having multiple Selects from the same table in the same object.
... try to avoid to SELECT the same data, different criteria can be necessary
7 Try to minimize the number of variables to save memory.
... obvious,
8 The sequence of fields in 'where clause' must be as per primary/secondary index ( if any)
... no is must not the optimizer will not be influenced be the order , but do it, it increases readability
9 Avoid creation of index as far as possible
... no, o.k. if you are not experienced than avoid ... otherwise the creation of the required indexes is absolutely mandatory for new tables, for SAP standard tables most indexes are already there. But still if very new accesses are added, then new indexes can become necessary.
10 Avoid operators like , > , < & like % in where clause conditions
... no, you must add them, but be aware that the search is only poorly supported by them, but the result set is reduced.
11 Avoid select/select single statements in loops.
... if they are going to the database! If the tables are buffered, then these statements are perfect!
12 Try to use 'binary search' in READ internal table. Ensure table is sorted before using BINARY SEARCH.
.... Actually try to avoid standard tables, use sorted tables instead. If you must use a standard table, than the recommendation is true.
13 Avoid using aggregate functions (SUM, MAX etc) in selects ( GROUP BY , HAVING,)
.... no, use them if required. Again, if table is buffered, then they MUST be avoided.
14 Avoid using ORDER BY in selects
... if it is not ORDER BY PRIMARY KEY. Again, if the table is buffered, then other orders MUST be avoided.
15 Avoid Nested Selects
... use join. Again, if the tables are buffered, then Nested SELECTs are fine!
16 Avoid Nested Loops of Internal Tables
.... impossible, there is no other option. Use sorted tables and verything is fine!
17 Try to use FIELD SYMBOLS.
... what means try? Use ASSIGNING fieldsymbol in LOOPs, but use it in READs only for very wide tables (>1kB). Use it always for tables with tables in the workarea!
18 Try to avoid into Corresponding Fields of
... see 6) is wrong!
19 Avoid using Select Distinct, Use DELETE ADJACENT.
.... no, use it if required and if it can reduce the result set by a factor of 2 or more. Again, if table is buffered, then it MUST be avoided.

Transport abap query from one client to another--v--urgent---v----urgent

hi,
i have an abap query in one client and want to copy to another client.can i do this if so what are the steps involved .i tried the options like in query go to environment and then to transport .i also tried to do by running the programe RSAQR3TR.but it was transporting in the same client .i want to transfer into another client.plz help me out asap .

hi,
Create a request related to that Table Definition and add data content in the request like
R3TR-TABL-<table name>
R3TR-TABU-<table name>
R3TR-TABD-<table name>
and release the request
Take the DATA files and CO files related to that request in a Pen drive and put the same into the new server DATA and CO files and import using STMS.
For new program, it gets transported along with the program.
For changed program (which has already been transported once), you need to include texts in transport request - just go to Selection texts, save them in the transport request and you're all set.
whenever you assign a request number to the program
and also the selection texts willbe stored under that request number
so when u release the program
the selection texts will also go
after releasing the request if you change only the seleciton texts
only the changes done to selection texts will reach the target
and the rest of the things remain same
so when ever you release a request all the things under that request
will go

Can we run abap query via sapnco 3.0

Hi Experts,
I read tables LFA1 and LFM1 with RFC_READ_TABLE on sapnco. Then i convert these tables to entity and join these tables on lifnr property with LINQ.
But this operation takes a long time. Therefore, i want to run an ABAP Query that joining these tables. Can we run an ABAP Query like this on sapnco?
Or how i read a view that join these tables with sapnco?
Thanks in advance

Take care of the problem now. You can continue to use the external drive, but you will need to use fan control software to deal with the fan.
Macs Fan Control 1.1.12.2
HDD Fan Control 2.5

ABAP query to schedule through batch job

Hi
i have requirement to schedule batch job for ABAP query report and download the report data to local drive throuh batch job.
we have created ABAP query report, and this report should run through batch job and download the report data to local drive,,
please help, how we can solve this.
Regards
Vanraj

Hi Vanraj,
I have two topics to talk about:
1st: in order to schedule a background job, try to do the following:
- Go to transaction SQ01 and select your query
- Check that you've already created a variant, containing the required selection data.
- Instead of running in online, go to "Query > Execute > Exec.in background"
- This will allow you to schedule the background job.
2nd: it is NOT possible for a background job to download a file to a local PC.
I hope it helps.
Kind regards,
Alvaro

How to create an ABAP Query with OR logical expression in the select-where

Hi,
In trying to create an ABAP query with parameters. So it will select data where fields are equal to the parameters entered. The default logical expression is SELECT.. WHERE... AND.. However I want to have an OR logical expression instead of AND.. how can I attain this??
Please help me on this.. Points will be rewarded.
Thanks a lot.

Question Man

Hi Bhupal, Shanthi, and Saipriya,
Thanks for your replies. But that didn't answer my question.
Bhupal,
You cannot just replace AND with OR in an ABAP QUERY. ABAP QUERY is a self generated SAP code. You'll just declare the tables, input parameters and output fields to be displayed and it will create a SAP standard code. If you'll try to change the code and replace the AND with OR in the SAP standard code, the system will require you to enter access key/object key for that particular query.
Shanthi,
Yes, that is exactly what need to have. I need to retireve DATA whenever one of the conditions was satisfied.
Saipriya,
Like what I have said, this is a standard SAP code so we can't do your suggestion.
I have already tried to insert a code in the ABAP query (there's a part there wherein you can have extra code) but that didn't work. Can anybody help me on this.
Thanks a lot.
Points will be rewarded.

Logical database of ABAP query

Hi,
Can anybody please let me know what is the Logical database for ETXDCI, ETXDCH & ETXDCJ (Tax tables) with any sales document tables? I need to develop one ABAP query for the users.
I am a Functional person so I would like to know Can anybody please let me know how I can find out the Logical database?
Your time and help will be really appreciate.

Try the BRF logical database.
I found it by searching in which programs the tables were used.
It show program SAPDBBRF which is the program for logical database BRF.

Hi
Welcome to SDN forum
query has got some limitatins compared to Reports which we write using SE38
these queries are user specific and client specific and can't be transportable and you can't write your own code as you wish like reports
see the doc
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/35/26b413afab52b9e10000009b38f974/content.htm
http://www.thespot4sap.com/Articles/SAP_ABAP_Queries_Introduction.asp
Step-by-step guide for creating ABAP query
http://www.sappoint.com/abap/ab4query.pdf
ABAP query is mostly used by functional consultants.
SAP Query
Purpose
The SAP Query application is used to create lists not already contained in the SAP standard system. It has been designed for users with little or no knowledge of the SAP programming language ABAP. SAP Query offers users a broad range of ways to define reporting programs and create different types of reports such as basic lists, statistics, and ranked lists.
Features
SAP Query's range of functions corresponds to the classical reporting functions available in the system. Requirements in this area such as list, statistic, or ranked list creation can be met using queries.
All the data required by users for their lists can be selected from any SAP table created by the customer.
To define a report, you first have to enter individual texts, such as titles, and select the fields and options which determine the report layout. Then you can edit list display in WYSIWYG mode whenever you want using drag and drop and the other toolbox functions available.
ABAP Query, as far as I Believe, is the use of select statements in the ABAP Programming. This needs a knowledge of Open SQL commands like Select,UPdtae, Modify etc. This has to be done only by someone who has a little bit of ABAP experience.
To sum up, SAP queries are readymade programs given by SAP, which the user can use making slight modification like the slection texts, the tables from which the data is to be retrieved and the format in which the data is to be displayed.ABAP queries become imperative when there is no such SAP query existing and also when there is a lot of customizing involved to use a SAP Query directly
use either SQ02 ans SQ01
or SQVI tr code

Wrong sequence in selection screen generated by ABAP Query

Hi,
I am developing a query to display the data in the view.
My query has 8 selection fields totally.
As part of my requirement I have added selection parameter in the
selections tab of the infoset and maintained the sequence as 9.
Inspite of maintaining the sequence number as 9 in the infoset, It is
appearing first in the selection screen of the query.
I tried putting different numbers in the sequence number, but even it
is appearing first in the selection screen.
Can you please let me know how to display the selections declared in
the infoset as per the sequence required.
Thanks,
Madhuri.

Actually what happen when you declare your own fields in ABAP query . you have to care about the sequence . As an example if youre selecting lets say state name , you have two variables
<b>1-state
2- land</b>
for state you have to select land first , if your state is first and land is 2nd it gave you the error of sequence .
Because you have to get data in land first in order to get state specific to the land .
it should be
1-Land
2-State
Just see the your fields , Im sure youre missing that .
<b>You can also see the NO ( field ) in Query ( Sq03 ) . where you can define the seqence on selection.</b>
hope thisll help you .
Pl...Award the points .
Thanks

Performance tuning for ABAP Query (created from t-cd SQ01)

Hello all,
We created ABAP Query report from transaction SQ01.
But the generated report has an appropriate SQL statement which causes performance problem.
To solve this issue, I guess the easiest way is;
0. Give up to use it.
1. Copy it to another object in the customer namespace.
2. Ajust SQL statement.
But I'm wondering if there're appropriate ways to adjust SQL statement of Query.
Could anybody give me any better idea?
Thank you
Yuko

You can try this: Create 2 ranges, for objnr and cdtcode and fill like:
ra_objnr-sign = 'I'.
ra_objnr-option = 'CP'.
ra_objnr-low = 'OR*'.
append ra_objnr.
ra_code-sign = 'I'.
ra_code-option = 'CP'.
ra_code-low = 'CO*'.
append ra_code.
SELECT objnr udate utime
FROM jcds
INTO TABLE it_jcds
WHERE objnr IN ra_objnr
AND stat = l_tj02t
AND cdtcode IN ra_code
AND inact = space

How to hide some fields in ABAP Query

Hi,
My ABAP Query has a long list of extracted fields. I wanted to set some of these output to "HIDE".
This allow User the flexibility to decide what fields to show.
How can I set the field to "HIDE" in my query?
Thanks

Hi Tim,
You can do this by setting the Report layout variant in following steps:
1. First define the parameter on selection screent for report variant.
2. Data decelaration for variant.
3. Value request to get already present variants on report:
4. If doesn't choose the layout take out the default report layout.
5. Initialize the report variant.
6. Apply the variant to the REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY funtion module.
         Here to generate report variant first to open report output and then as per according to user set the layout of report using the layout icon of ALV with summation on value fields (as required) and create layout name.
*Data Deceleration as below:
Data :g_save(1) TYPE c,
**      g_default(1) TYPE c,
g_exit(1) TYPE c,

*First Define the parameter to give layout of Report variant.

A few Questions on ABAP Query

Hi Guru's
I would like to ask some questions on ABAP query.
1. Can you transport abab queries? Should it only be Global or you can also transport Standard Areas?
2. Once transported, am i able to change query?
Thanks,
Jograd

hi....
you can transport a quary but for that the quary should be an object itself or attached to some object
and
if once transported to production....you cannot change it there and for changing you have to get it in developement sysytem and then make any change.

Bw publish and connections not based on the sap bw mdx query driver

Dear experts,
we are currently facing a problem with transporting reports that are based on multiple database connections and joined using the cross database join feature of crystal reports. One connection is based on the SAP BW MDX driver, the other is based on a SAP functionmodule.
Now when transporting the reports with STMS and publishing them via /crystal/rptadmin and bwpublish only the bex mdx query connection gets updated. The other connection is still pointing to the original location.
e.g.
transporting
DEV -> PROD
function module still pointing on dev server.
As we need to use the sap default transport system in order to get all features (no SP4 yet) and we can not change the reports manually in the PROD system before publishnig and don't want to mix in the LCM we have no idea how get a work around for this problem.
Changing the database connection via CMC on the PROD system has no effect either.
Please help.
Thank you very much!
Thorsten

Hello Thorsten,
What you observe is "By Design" of the product. The dynamic update is supported only for reports using the BW MDX driver (or historically for those using the deprecated BW query driver). Other SAP drivers such as the OpenSQL driver which you use to connect to the function module do not leverage the same features when using the SAP Transport process.
You may report directly against your target system when connecting to Function Modules.
thanks,
Akin

How to set default value in select option for ABAP query

Hi experts,
What is the way to set up default values for select-options in ABAP query.
e.g.
I have one field 'Year' in my ABAP query selection screen.
I want value of current year to be appeared here whenever user execute report
Thanks in Advance
-Harkamal

Hi Harkamal,
execute your Query via SQ01. On Selection-Screen
goto save Variant. Mark your field
as selection variable an press Button election variable.
Take variable from TVARV and use it.
Than save the Variant.
Look at TVARV if the 'Year' is updated to the actualYear!

Short Dump While selecting Variant for ABAP query

Hi,
ABAP query is going to short dump (CONNE_IMPORT_WRONG_COMP_LENG) while selecting a Variant. If i create and use variant then i am able to see Output of Variant.But not able to use Earlier created variants .
I think some mismatch between variant values and selection screen fields.Can anyone tell me how to rectify this ?
I am not able to debug the code as dump is coming in a System program(RSDBSPVD).Can anyone tell me which database table i can use to get values of the Variant.
Thanks in Advance.
