Advanced certification in ABAP

Hi All
I am a ABAP programmer with 3 yrs of ABAP experience and currently working on EDI / IDOC technologies. I wanted to go for ABAP certification but I was advised by many not to do it as exam has got very simple ABAP questions, mainly on Basic ABAP
I just wanted to know how true it is and is there any other certification for Advanced ABAPPERS ? ( Like Sun has for Java ).
Are there any certification exams for ALE Idoc , BW programming.
Amol

Hi Amol,
Your question amused me. I am also a certified ABAPer, having a rootless existance in SAP. I was working on Web technologies till last Aug and got Certified then and have been an ABAPer ever since. Unfortunately, there is no advanced certification program for ABAP but a certified ABAPer is always considered to have it all.
You are right about the exam questions. It is all basic ABAP, but you see, high rises stand on great foundations. To learn advanced topics, may be you should approach SAPLABS at b'lore as you have over 3 yes of exp and that too on hot technologies like EDI/IDOC.
I would suggest anyone to go for the certification, not to get their 2-3 lakhs spent, but for the face that you will be globally accessible being a certified ABAPer and will have great demand abroad and in India.
Good luck.
If you think this helped you, please reward me

Advanced ALV using ABAP objects

Hi All ABAPers,
I have a question in Advanced ALV using ABAP objects.Can we display the output ie., ALV Grid without defining the custom cointainer?ie., just as we do in the classical ALV without defining any screens.Can we do that as a normal executable program ie., without using module pool programming.Please give me a solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Chaitanya.

If you want editable grids then the cl_salv_table method won't unfortunately be of use since (currently) there's no editable facility / method.
So if you are using cl_gui_alv_grid here's how to "get round" the problem.
I'm essentially using my own alv class which is a reference to cl_gui_alv_grid but the methodology shown here is quite simple.
What you can do is to create a method which calls a function module for example ZZ_CALL_SCREEN so you only have to code a Screen and a GUI in ONE function module and not in every ALV report.
for example you could create something like this
My version has the option of 2 screens - so when I double click on a cell in one grid I can perform some actions and then display a 2nd grid before returning back to the ist grid.You can easily modify this to suit your applications.
The parameters are fairly self evident from the code. You can just use this as a model for your own applications.
I agree that having to code a separate screen and GUI for OO ALV GRID reports was for some people a "show stopper" in switching from the old SLIS to OO ALV reports.
I Hope if any SAP development guys are reading this PLEASE PROVIDE EDITABLE FUNCTIONALITY IN THE NEW CL_SALV_TABLE class. Thanks in advance.

Certifications in ABAP

Are there any certifications in ABAP?
What is the procedure, syllabi , fees?
Any site where I can get details?

Hi Puneet
It seems to us that you are interested in doing a SAP certification. However, it could be better for you, if you could provide your exact question in mind in a more presentable manner.
In case you are looking for the details on SAP certification courses, I would suggest you to go to the link provided in the earlier reply or kindly reach the nearest Siemens (SISL) Center, for they also provide courses for SAP certification (both Technical and Functional). Our replies could be of much help to you, if you can be more specific. Kindly see if this answers your question, else re-frame the question!

Elligibily for certification - SAP ABAP associate - confusion

Hi,
I'm a S/W Engg.(6months exp in SAP-ABAP) in an Indian firm.
I want to take this certification: SAP Certified Development Associate - ABAP - SAP NetWeaver 7.0 because I'm on bench and have got no project.
From what I've gathered by googling, I've to take a course for about 2 months and then i'll be elligble for taking the certification exam or I've got to have an year's experience in a firm in the respective domain.
Now, can't I study on my own and take the above mentioned cert. exam.
How should I go about it. It's a little confusing for me.
It'd really be cool if someone throws even a little light on my topic.
Cheers.
shilpi.

Hi shilpi,
I am working in leading software gaint.though i am in big position up to now i have not done certification.
see,certification adds value to ur career.certification board gave permissions to some companies with no experience.i,e even a fresher in taht company can write certification. taht is for certain companies. for reamaining they have to be 1yr experienced then only thay have to appear.
First check with your company team whether yours is in that list or not. if yes gud. no ,try to learn. already u completed 6 months. next 6 months prepare well and write exam.
certification is a matter of money too. for abap certification associate level u have to pay 30000 towards exam fee.so prepare well.if u think u r petrfect then only move ur step.
revert me for any ideas.
thanks
