About macros

Hi what is the use of macros in ABAP programming ?
What is the role of place holders in macros ?

hi ,
If you want to reuse the same set of statements more than once in a program, you can include them in a macro. For example, this can be useful for long calculations or complex WRITE statements. You can only use a macro within the program in which it is defined, and it can only be called in lines of the program following its definition.
Yes, you can get the same results without using them, but will have to explicitly put the code each time you want to perform the operation it does.
Using Macros is a Programming Utility to avoid repetitive coding in a Program.
The Macros used in HR reports tied to PNP are stored in the table TRMAC. Go into SE16 and display the Table contents.

Buttons not working when workbook is opened. Error says about macro.

Hi Gurus,
I have created a workbook and it was working fine. But now when i open the workbook it throws an error saying " Cannot run the macro Workbookname.button_click. The macro may not be available in this workbook or all macros may be disabled" . What I find surprising is that it was working fine and it suddenly changed like this.
It can be solved if I toggle between the design and analysis mode in Analyzer. Isn't there any other solution for this. I was wondering how my workbook suddenly changed its behavior. I would really appreciate if anyone could tell me a solution for this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Jerry Jerome

Will macros in excel work properly if I switch Office 2013 32 bit to Office 2013 64 bit?

hi,
Will macros in excel created with Office 2013 32 bit work properly if i switch to Office Execl 2013 64 bit?
Thanks

Hi,
As far as I know, most of the macros might work well between 32bit and 64bit Excel. But there are some limitations for Excel 64bit:
Solutions using ActiveX controls library, ComCtl controls won’t work.
Third-party ActiveX controls and add-ins won’t work.
Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) that contain Declare statements won’t work in the 64-bit version of Office without being updated.
Compiled Access databases, like .MDE and .ACCDE files, won’t work unless they’re specifically written for the 64-bit version of Office.

Macros in Demand Planning SCM 7.o

Dear Friend,
Please give me the link where I can learn about Macros of Demand Planning in SCM 7.o.
Please brief me about the Macros.
My intention is to learn about Macros.
With regards,
Balu

Balu,
Macros are used for performing complex calculations easily. They are basically used to manipulate the Key Figure values. They are also used for genertaing alerts. You can execute macros either interactivekly or by a background job. Go terough the following link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/17/a5216532a111d398260000e8a49608/frameset.htm
I believe the best way to learn about macros is to create them and test them. You have the standard 9AEXAMPLES macro workbook which contains examples of all the macro functions available. Very handy tool!
Try and go through the macros in standard SAP books and refer to the link above and 9AEXAMPLES to understand the flow. I am sure you will learn in no time.
Happy Learning!
Cheers!

Macros in Bex

Dear friends,
Please give me some information about Macros in BEx, I know that we can write some VB code in Workbook. But I want to clear picture on that, can you please send any documents on Macros to [email protected]
Thanks
Ganga.

Hi,
To create macro, menu tools->macro->macro->macro name and 'create', code check threads and bw expertonline
replacing '#'-sign for 'not assigned' in queries
Replace the default u0091#u0092 in BEx
http://www.bwexpertonline.com/downloads/boeke04.doc
The steps to do the same
1) In excel menu Tools->macro
2) Enter the macro name say SAPBEXonRefresh
3) click 'create', will go to visual basic editor
4) To display '#' as '', paste the following code
Sub SAPBEXonRefresh(queryID As String, resultArea As Range)
Dim c As Range
For Each c In resultArea.Cells
If c.Value = "#" Then c.Value = ""
Next c
End Sub
5) Close the editor and click on refresh again.

Saving macro results between steps

All,
We have a requirement where we need to save the results from Step 1 of the macro into the livecache before executing the next step - standard macros do not save the results until the Save icon is clicked on. Any ideas on how to do this? Essentially, I am looking to replicate the Save icon except that it is to be triggered from within the macro.
Thanks
AR

I dont think it is possible to do that in foreground mode. Even if you use collective macro there is nothing you can do to save intermediate steps. That is a basic design issue about macros. I think this fact is well documented as well in Macro help.
If you are doing this in batch however, you should use multiple steps in the activity or multiple activities itself to make sure intermediate steps are committed to the DB.

Macros definition in SOP

Hi,
I have got some doubts about macro definitions in SOP.
First, I would like to know how to use the ">" and "<" operators. Sometimes in the sequence of instructions they seem to behave as IF sentences.
Example
Operand 1           Operator             Operand 1           Result
      A                       >                        0                       A
Moreover I would like to know how to refer to an operand in a certain column in my table.
Thus, I would be very grateful if someone could tell where to get an useful SOP macros tutorial.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, here you can find the operations (formulas) that we would like to implement using simple macros in the MC8A transaction, and all the fields involved. Obviously, we can create any other auxiliar field that might we need. Please do not care about row names since they are in Spanish.
FIRST OPERATION
Row names involved
-Cantidad picaroles previsión segura -
A
-Cantidad de picaroles (interface) -
B
-Previsiones seguras -
>C
Operation to implement
A = MAX (B,C)
SECOND OPERATION
-Cantidad teórica picarol -
A
-Cantidad picaroles previsión segura   -
B
-Cantidad picaroles 100 (INTERFACE) -
C
-Cantidad picarol mix o Dummy -
D
Operation to implement
D = IF ((A-(BC))<0; 0; (A-(BC)))
Thanks a lot again for your help. This is very urgent so I would be very grateful if you could please at least spend some time in finding a solution.

Macro Add-Range Definition
define add-range.
&3-sign   = &1.
&3-option = &2.
&3-low    = &4.
&3-high   = &5.
append &3.
end-of-definition.
Macro Implementation
    add-range 'I' 'EQ' w_allc_n w_allc ' '.
<b><u>See the documentation below.</u></b>
DEFINE
Basic form
DEFINE macro.
Effect
Defines a section of source code (macro) that you can address using the name macro. Source code saved as a DEFINE macro may only consist of complete ABAP statements
All macro use is expanded fully in translation. Macros are a text substitute for the translation phase - not a modularization technique for runtime use.
You conclude a macro with the END-OF-DEFINITION statement.
When you define a macro, you can use placeholders (&n, where n = 1, 2, ..., 9). When the macro is expanded, &n is replaced with the n-th current parameter.
Example
Suppose you define a macro "INCREMENT", which you then use in your program.
DEFINE INCREMENT.
ADD 1 TO &1.
END-OF-DEFINITION.
DATA: NUMBER TYPE I VALUE 1.
INCREMENT NUMBER.
Notes
As a rule, you should use subroutines (FORM, FUNCTION) instead of macros. This is because subroutines - unlike macros - are supported by all of the ABAP Workbench tools (debugging, runtime analysis, runtime error handling, ...).
You cannot define a macro within a macro using the DEFINE statement.
You cannot use an ABAP keyword as a macro name.
The validity of a macro definition is determined by its position in the source code. You can use a given macro in any line of code following its definition. There is no distinction between global and local macros. For example, the fact that a macro is defined within a subroutine has no effect on its validity.
If you redefine a macro, that is, assign a new meaning to an existing name, the new meaning takes effect from the position in the program where the macro was redefined.

Best reasonably priced macro lens for a 70d

Hi i have got a canon 70d and have just started doing alot of macro photography (Flowers bugs etc) i've been using the the 18-135mm kit lens but now i know im enjoying it im going to get a mocro lens. Cant afford nothing to major as saving for wedding and house. Was just looking for some advice on reasonably priced macro lenses. Any Advice welcome..
Thanks in advance
Darren

Actually, it's hard to go wrong with macro lenses... Most give excellent image quality, so it tends to be the other features that are deciding factors. I have no idea what you consider "reasonably priced".... To one person that might be no more than $100, while to another it might be anything under $1000.
Canon EF 50/2.5 Compact Macro is currently about $270... As an EF lens, this can be used on both your crop camera and on full frame cameras. But this is a micro motor focus drive lens (slower, hunts more), and on it's own it only goes to 1:2 or one half life size magnification. To get full 1:1 magnification with it, there's a separately sold converter that costs another $270. You also could use macro exension tubes - that sell for between $70 and $200 for a set - to increase the lens' magnification. All the other macro lenses listed here are able to do 1:1 without need for any adapter. 50mm is fairly short focal length, putting you relatively close to your subject. This lens' closest focus is about 4 inches (with 1:1 adapter... compare to 12 inches with a 100mm lens). Personally I use shorter macro focal lengths mostly in-studio where they can work well.... but prefer a longer focal length in the field. Uses 52mm filters. No lens hood offered or supplied, it doesn't really need one because the front element is deeply recessed into the lens.
SIgma 50/2.8 Macro lens sells for about $350. I don't know much about this lens, it's been around for a while. I know it's 1:1 capable, both crop and full frame capable and has a micro motor focus drive. Comes with a lens hood. Uses 55mm filters.
Canon EF-S 60/2.8 USM Macro is on sale at the moment for $420. It's an EF-S lens, which will work fine on your 70D, but is not usable on a full frame camera. USM focusing drive is a bit faster, quieter and more precise (see below about focus speed). It's full 1:1 capable, a little longer focal length than 50mm, but not a lot. It's relatively compact and it is "internal focusing" or IF, which means it doesn't change length when focused. It uses 58mm filters and the matched lens hood sells separately for $24 (third party hoods are available for less).
Tamron SP 60/2.0 "Di II" Macro/Portrait lens is selling for about $525 and, like the Canon 60mm Macro, is a "crop only" lens. Fine for your 70D, but not usable on full frame cameras. It's also IF, but using a micro motor type focus drive. I've been working with one of these lately, giving it a try. I find it's focus slower than Canon USM, but generally plenty fast for most macro/portrait usage. The main attraction of this lens is its f2.0 aperture... fully a stop larger than most other macro lenses (Zeiss makes a couple f2.0 macro lenses, but they are manual focus only and quite expensive). This is nice particularly when using the lens for portraiture. It uses 55mm filters and comes with a lens hood.
Canon MP-E 65mm is not a lens I'd recommend to anyone just starting out shooting macro. This is an ultra high magnification lens... actually can do no less than 1:1 and goes as high as 5:1. That's a range well beyond what many people shoot. It's also about $1000 and stricly manual focus. It's a superb lens, usable on both crop sensor and full frame cameras, and one I use personally. But it's still not something I'd recommend to anyone just starting to shoot macro. It's rather challenging to work with, pretty much a "tripod only" lens. Comes with a tripod mounting ring, uses 58mm filters and an odd little lens hood sells separately for around $40.
Sigma 70mm f2.8 EX DG macro lens.... is another I don't know a whole lot about. Like their 50/2.8 macro, it's been around a long time and uses a micro motor type focus drive. It is the first lens in this list that has a Focus Limiter (2 ranges), which is a feature that can be helpful speeding up auto focusing. It sells for about $470, uses 62mm filters and comes with a matched lens hood.
Tamron SP 90mm f2.8 Di is another excellent design that's been around a long, long time. I've still got and use manual focus versions of this lens dating back to the 1980s. The currently available micro motor version sells for $500 and, as a Di lens is usable on both crop and full frame cameras. It's got a focus limiter (2 ranges), uses 55mm filters and includes a matching lens hood. It is not an IF lens.
Tamron SP 90mm f2.8 Di VC USD is an updated version of their venerable 90mm, now with both an improved AF system (USD is similar to Canon's USM) and image stabilization (Tamron calls it VC). It is said to be better sealed against dust and moisture, and also uses an aperture with 9 curved blades to make for smoother background blurs. This lens is Internal Focusing (IF), has a Focus Limiter (4 ranges!), was introduced within the last year or so selling for about $750, uses 58mm filters and comes with a matched lens hood.
Canon EF 100/2.8 USM is another excellent lens I use personally. This is the older version of this lens without IS (and not L-series, but you would be hard pressed to tell any difference in build quality, comparing it to some L-series such as the 180/3.5L macro). A key feature here is that it can optionally be fitted with a tripod mounting ring.... something that's not possible with most of the other lenses mentioned here. For macro work, I consider a tripod mount a very important feature, though some of the smaller lenses might be fairly usable on a tripod without one. This lens has USM focus drive, is IF, has a Focus Limiter (2 range), sells for about $550 presently, and uses 58mm filters. A matched lens hood is quite large and sells separately for about $40. Tripod Ring B to fit it sells for about $140 (there are cheaper third party hoods and tripod rings).
Canon EF 100/2.8 L IS USM is a newer model that primarily is upgraded with the addition of Image Stabilization (IS). Now designated an L, it includes a matched lens hood. Like the older model, a tripod ring can be optionally fitted. It has an improved Focus Limiter (increased to 3 ranges). It uses 62mm filters and is currently on sale for $900. Tripod Ring D sells for $172 (cheaper 3rd party ring is avail.).
Tokina 100/2.8 ATX is both crop and full frame compatible and sells for about $400. I haven't used it, but it's another venerable design that's been around for a lot of years. It has a Focus Limiter (2 range), uses 55mm filters and comes with a matched lens hood. I don't believe it's IF.
Sigma 105/2.8 OS HSM is currently on sale, heavily discounted, for about $670. I suspect Sigma is about to introduce a new version and that's why they are blowing out the current model with a large instant rebate. It is both crop sensor and full frame camera compatible. The current version has OS, which is Sigma's version of image stabilization, as well as HSM which is similar to Canon's USM focusing drive. This lens has a Focus Limiter (3 ranges), uses a 9 blade aperture, 62mm filters and comes with a matched hood. It cannot be fitted with a tripod ring.
Canon, Sigma and Tamron all offer longer macro focal lengths... 150mm and 180mm. In general I'd say those are pretty long to use on a crop sensor camera such as your 70D or my 7Ds. They all come with tripod rings, which is good because longer macro lenses can be difficult to keep steady. But they all are also considerably more expensive, so I won't go into the details about them.
Regarding auto focus speed... All macro lenses with AF are slower focusing for a couple reasons. One is that they have to move their focusing mechanisms a long, long way to go all the way from infinity to 1:1 magnification. Another is by design, they use "long throw" focus mechanisms that emphasize accuracy over speed, which is necessary because depth of field can be quite shallow at high magnifications. So, in general, don't expect a macro lens to offer the same AF speed as a non-macro lens with similar focus drive mechanism. What can help a lot are the type of focus drive and if the lens offers a Focus Limiter. Canon's USM, Sigma's HSM and Tamron's USD all will give faster focusing than micro motor drive systems on other lenses. Properly used, a Focus Limiter can really speed up focusing performance, too.
When shooting macro, auto focus speed usually isn't all that critical. In fact, I often just focus manually. Accuracy often is more important, due to the shallow depth of field. So AF perfomance might be a bigger consideration if planning to also use the lens a lot for non-macro purposes.
Image Stabilization (Canon OS, Sigma OS and Tamron VC) is offered on a few premium models. Canon's is a special hybrid version developed just for macro purposes, which most feel is a bit more effective than other forms of stabilization. Nikon actually was the first to put stabilization (they call it VR) on a macro lens, but most agree that while it's useful for non-macro shooting, it is of little practical assistance at 1:1 magnification. The Canon hybrid IS is considered to be a bit better at higher magnifications, but even it will be of limited effectiveness at 1:1. In other words, there may be times when you want to use a tripod or at least a monopod. And in those cases, particularly on some of the larger lenses, a tripod mounting ring can be a very nice thing to have (among all the above, only the Canon 100mm macro lenses can be fitted with a t'pod ring).
There are other options to "do macro", too. For example, you could simply get some Macro Extension Tubes to use with your current lens, to make it focus closer. Canon offers quality individual tubes in 25mm and 12mm lengths ($84 and $140 respectively). Kenko does too, but also offers a set of three that includes 12mm, 20mm and 36mm lengths (set sells for $200). The Kenko are very close to the Canon in design, quality and performance.
There are also less expensive sets (under $100) from Zeikos and Opteka. The Zeikos set includes 13mm, 21mm and 31mm and sell under a bunch of different brand names (Vivitar, Bower, Dot Line, ProOptic and many more). The Opteka set was just recently introduced and includes 12mm, 20mm and 36mm. All these sets are more plasticky than the Canon and Kenko tubes, but they do support autofocus and direct control of the aperture.
AFAIK, all the currently sold macro extension tubes for Canon mount are compatible with both EF and EF-S lenses. (If you were shopping used you'd have to be careful because some of the older tubes were EF only and could not be used with your EF-S 18-135mm lens).
Canon's TS-E 45mm and TS-E 90mm lenses also are usable for near-macro and, with extension tubes added, macro shooting. These are Tilt-Shift lenses that give additional control over the plane of focus which can be used to good effect with macro and shallow depth of field. I use a TS-E 45mm a lot for table top studio shots of small products. However, these are manual focus only, largely tripod-only and rather pricey lenses, so I just wanted to mention them here. They are probably not something I'd recommend for a first time macro shooter or general purpose, outdoor, walk-around macro work.
Personally, my two most-used macro lenses are a Canon EF 100/2.8 USM (the older model) and a Tamron SP 60/2.0. When I'm planning to shoot a lot of outdoor, walk-around macro shooting, the Canon lens is my first choice. However, it's rather large so when I'm not planning macro, but want to have a macro lens just in case, I'll substitute it with the much more compact Tamron lens. (Which also can replace two portrait lenses in my camera bag, so reduces my load by one lens serving in place of three.)
Another key consideration is flash. Often when shooting macro it's a challenge to get enough light to allow a stopped down lens, desirable ISO and adequately fast shutter speed. So you probably will find yourself wanting to use flash sooner or later. Canon offers two macro-specific flashes: the MR14 EX Ring Lite and the MT24EX Twin Lite. I use both for different purposes. I prefer the Twin Lite for macro shots up to about 1:1, maybe 2:1 (double life size) magnification. The Ring Lite I mostly use for very high magnification shots with the MP-E 65mm lens.
All the Canon lenses above have provision for, or can be adapted to allow for direct mounting of the two Canon macro flashes (Note: I believe there is a new "Mark II" version of the Ring Lite coming out soon). There also are adapters available to mount these flashes on non-macro Canon or onto third party lenses. It also is possible to use a single "standard" flash, along with an off-camera shoe cord and some sort of diffusion to hold back the flash, when shooting macro. I do that often with 550EX and 580EX II flashes.
There are other macro-specific accessories you may want to consider eventually. Often I'll use a diffusion panel and/or a reflector when out in full sun, to reduce too extreme contrast and help fill too-deep shadows. A focusing stage is another useful thing, when shooting macro with a tripod.
Finally, I recommend you pick up some books on macro photography. John Shaw's "Close-Ups in Nature" is perhaps the "Bible" among them and likely the most comprehensive. I also found books about macro by Tim Fitzharris and Joe & Mary MacDonald very helpful and interesting. I'm sure there are others, but those came immediately to mind.

BPS + Excel Inplace = Macro + Digital Signature (Certificate)

Hi, "All"
To achieve some goals in formatting planning layout, I changed Modul1 module (subs SAPAfterDataPut() and SAPBeforeDataGet()). Because of this SAP certificate doesn't work. To avoid annoying message about macros in opening Excel, I create certificate by Selfcert.exe in office10 folder of MS Office. And I tryed to protect BPS modul with this certificate (In VBA Editor: Tools->Digital Signature...). But after saving modified template there is no cerification record in template.
This works correctly when I protect usual excel files, but doesn't work with BPS. Why? Did anybody try to do something like that?
PS: How can end users use Excel InPlace BPS Layouts? I don't find any method except BPS0...

Hallo
Actually the end user can use Excel by building a planning folder and choose the option Folder without Separate output not web Enabled. Then the front-end is Excel.
You can also build a WEB application Excel Enabled which give you Web Excel as layout but it is not so user friendly (only copy nad paste).
With the planning folder you still have all Excel Functionality.
I hope this can help you.
Regards
Mike

Use links to open folders

Links are valuable tools for using one document to open another. But, sometimes it is more useful to open a folder containing what I am looking for - especially when the content changes often. Unfortunately, Acrobat cannot perform this function directly (it should). Instead I use a Word document containing hyperlinks to the folder and then covert that to a PDF file. It works, but I get an irritating message about macro security that must be answered for each use. I don't see how to use the Trust Manager to change this. Is there any other way around this problem or another way to accomplish the goal?

I am using the link tool to open a file. The error message -

Restrict on a "Date" type (key-figure)

Hello, all
1. I need to define a query, to compare the planed-date and the current-date(today), if planed-date>today, then in the new column, the firstday of the month will be listed
(e.g. 1-12-2005).
could you give me some suggestion, how can I found the functions of reading date in Query Designer.(I didn't find any function in the Form).
2. Any how can I add Macro in the report? is there some document I can read in SDN?
Many thanks
Tony

Hi Tony,
I dont know details about your infoobjects design tech aspects. Hence, I propose that what will work. You can adjust your design accordingly.
I encountered a problem while working with dates determined as key figure attribute.
But with dates as reference to 0CALDAY attributes everything works.
So, we have a Project infoobject. Create plan-beg-date and plan-end-date characteristics with reference to 0CALDAY. Assign them as attributes to Project. For testing purposes enter manualy several master data for it. Insert it as a data target (RSA1, infoproviders area). If you have a cube with the Project, then you dont need the previous step.
In BEx, create a V1 formula variable for plan-beg-date: replacement path, char = Project, Replace var with = Attribute value, Attribute = plan-beg-date, check To value.
Similarly, create V2 formula variable for plan-end-date.
Create in columns a new structure. If you work with Project infoobjects as infoprovider, put into structure Number of records KF, otherwise the following steps might not work. Add into the structure a new formula = V1, new formula = V2, new formula = V2 - V1. It will give you the the planned duration of the project.
Now, create X1 & X2, two customer exit variables on 0CALDAY. Based on either user entered reporting day or on current sys-day they should return the first and last days of the reporting/current month.
In the structure create another formula for corrected beginning date:
DATE ( ( 'V1' < 'X1' ) * 'X1' + ( 'X1' < 'V1' ) * 'V1' )
and a formula for corrected ending date:
DATE ( ( 'V2' > 'X2' ) * 'X2' + ( 'X2' > 'V2' ) * 'V2' )
Now you can calculate planned days for the reporting month or even the total number of project plan days.
About macro you execute a query, embed it into a workbook, write a macro and save the workbook. Next time youll open the workbook in Analyzer.

Saving Outlook eMail to a hard drive folder with long subject lines

I'm using Outlook 2010 on a WIN7 machine. I drag and drop eMails to folders on my desktop quite often and in the past (earlier version
of Outlook) I would receive a warning that the file did not copy if the subject line was too long. When I drag and drop eMails with long subject lines now there is no visual warning or indication that the operation failed. I am aware of the file name/path
character count limitation. My issue is the lack of a warning when the operation fails requiring me to have to check the length of the subject line before the operation or double check if the file is present after the operation. Checking after the operation
is quite exacerbating when you are copying 15 - 20 files at a time. Is there a patch or something that can be done about this?

Hi,
We can also consider to get support about macro from MSDN forum:

It's recommended to download and install
Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

Word 2010 ActiveX control makes combo box malfunction

Good day. I'm teaching my students how to make electronic forms in Word 2007 / 2010.
As there is no radio button option in the content / legacy controls, I've tried using the ActiveX option button for this purpose.
However, as soon as I insert this control, the combo box malfunctions when I enable protection for filling in forms - it doesn't let the user enter their own value.
Can anyone tell me if I'm doing something wrong or are ActiveX controls just simply not meant to be used in Word forms without macros?
(Note: I know nothing about coding and the bare minimum about macros as that is not required in our curriculum)

I have just put up a file for you at:-
http://www.pierrefondes.com/
- item 191.
In the 2007 version I am able to reproduce what you say.
However . . .
Using the Form Master on page 3 of 8 sometimes I was able to get MSoft into the Combo Box Content Control field and save it as
that.
The only way I have been able to edit the Combo Box Content Control in the Form Master section is when you first open the document
WORD defaults to that field and it's highlighted. Change the field at this point (to MSoft for example) then save the file and you'll see that the change takes.
The password I have used is:-
test
I hope that the above is helpful.
