Better replacement for Obsolete statement

Hi ,
During upgradation to ECC 6.0 , at many places in order to correct the Unicode error we need to use the Move statement. Since the Move-Corresponding is an obsolete statement now , so we can't use it any more. It is very difficult and highly time consuming to move huge structures and internal tables field by field . Is there any alternative to this ?

Move-Corresponding is an obsolete statement now
Who said ????
at many places in order to correct the Unicode error we need to use the Move statement
What type of error ?

Replace the obsolete statement STOP

Hi expert ,
I am working for a upgrade project fron 4.7 to ECC. We need to replace the obsolete statement STOP. Which is the best statement to replace STOP(RETURN or EXIT)
Thanks and Regards
Joby Jacob

HI STOP leaves the current event block and trigger END-OF-SELECTION.
SAP recommend using EXIT only within loops (see EXIT - loops ). Instead, use RETURN to leave processing blocks.
So RETURN seems to be better option.

Replacement for obsolete 'FM NAMETAB_GET'

Replacements for obsolete function modules

Hi,
What is the best way to find out the replacement for the obsolete function modules? We are starting an upgrade project and are required to replace the obsolete function modules used in that. So before starting that I want to keep a list of obsolete function modules and their replacements ready.
SS

Hi,
RODIR table gives not only FM, all obsoletes types.
if you dont find, best way is when we check EPC for the program,
in call function interface warnings shows, obsolete function modules.
or do UCCHECK it will both obsolete and suggested replacements.
Thanks

Better replacement for ATI Radeon HD 5770

Hello. I have in my Mid 2010 Mac Pro the ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB. What graphics card is out there that has better graphics and also supports 3 to 4 monitors easily? My budget is in the 300 to 400 range. I've seen the EVGA GeForce GTX 680 for Mac, which is amazing, but out of my budget. I need to get three monitors running soon.

It's not the USB data that is needed to run three displays. It's the extra POWER. If you read the Apple article, they say the only solution they endorse is their US$100 Dual-Link adapters. Check the table at the end of the article.
Mac Pro (Early 2009), Mac Pro (Mid 2010): Supported display configurations
Readers here have found that if you have two Brand-X Powered adapters, aka active adapters, it also works fine. These do not always require another USB. If designed recently, they can pick up a power pin in the Mini DisplayPort interface.
AMD (makers of the 5770 and 5870) lists the qualified POWERED adapters that meet their most stringent requirements. Look down the page and you will find several qualified Active Mini DisplyPort to various others, such as HDMI. These adapters are available from other outlets, such as Amazon, sometimes for far less than the Apple adapters.

The other desktop monitor will plug directly into the DVI port on the card and the 40 inch tv will still connect via HDMI over the second Mini Display port.
That will work only if you use an active Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.
The only (someone) have found to work (2009)
http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/337561577/miniactive_display_port_tohdmi.html
but you should confirm that they are really active before buying 500 of them.
You can connect a DVI to HDMI adapter or cable to an active Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter but that won't give you any audio over HDMI. You could connect the DVI displays to the Mini DisplayPorts with active adapters and use a DVI to HDMI cable or adapter from the DVI port to the TV.
If you want audio via HDMI, you can use audio from the Mac Pro's optical output with this DVI to HDMI converter:

Replacement For Not Exists operator in oracle

Hi Guys,
I need a replacement for the statement " Where NOT EXISTS (SELECT 'X' FROM ADM_SC_SHIPPING_HEADER_FACT WHERE prod_obj = s.prod_obj AND sc_shipping_doc_num = s.sc_shipping_doc_num AND TO_NUMBER (transportation_status) > TO_NUMBER (s.transportation_status))".

It's supposed to be a number and you're trying to convert it to a number using to_number(), but the error message you're getting implies that there's a value in that column that isn't a valid number.
If it's not that field, then there must be some othe implicit type conversion going on with one of the other columns in your subquery - 'cos that's what that error message means: "I'm trying to convert from one datatype to another, but it's not in the format I expect".
Either fix your data to conform to the proper format, or explicitly specify a format that describes your data, or (best of all) use a proper and consistent datatype for your columns. If transportation_status is a number, why store it in a varchar2 column?

REG: Obsolete statements in SLIN ecc 5.0

Hi all,
When i am executing the ABAP EPC for obsolete statements.(with Also display Hidden Messages)
I get the 2 Obsolete statements and as following :
      Program: ZXXXXX     Row:    652
The current ABAP command is obsolete and problematic, especially so in ABAP
Objects
An explicit work area is necessary in the OO context. Use "APPEND wa TO S_WERKS
[SORTED BY]".
(The message can be hidden with "#EC *)
Program: ZXXXXX     Row:   2558
The current ABAP command is obsolete and problematic, especially so in ABAP
Objects
At "LOOP AT itab", one of the additions "INTO", "ASSIGNING", or "TRANSPORTING NO
FIELDS" is required. in the OO context.
(The message can be hidden with "#EC *)
Though i put the "#EC after above variable still i can see it in the SLIN overview.
Pls help me to hide these Obsolete statements.
Thanks and Regards
Srikanth.P

Lest you find yourself labelled as "out of date" or "obsolete", perhaps you could spend a little time to bring your coding practices up to the state of the product. A LOT of things used in ABAP within my 12 years are now obsolete. For instance, the "Official ABAP Programming Guidelines" by SAP Press, written by Drs. Thummel and Keller, describes FORM....ENDFORM and REFRESH as obsolete.
In current versions, we loop at ...assgining <Field-symbol> or into structure....
We do read table into structure or assigning <field-symbol> or (where possible) transporting no fields.
We don't have tables with header rows, since those can't be used in OO.
We don't use REFRESH, we use CLEAR tabname[].
In OO, we use the SoC, software layering concepts, with GUI, Application and Persistence level Class definitions and implementations.
We used class-based exception handling where possible to avoid abends which are, of course, detrimental to our users' experiences.
etc.

Palm Desktop replacement for Mac and iPhone?

Since Palm Desktop is no longer in active development, is there a Palm Desktop replacement for Mac and iPhone?
http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/33219_en.html#mac
I mean, a single application (not a bunch of them like Address Book, iCal etc) that works on Mac (desktop) and that can sync with the iPhone. Including all data from the current Palm Desktop:
1. Address List
2. To Do List
3. Memo List
4. Date Book
Thanks.

If only Apple did something like that (all-in-one-application personal organizer with contacts, memos, calendar, to do lists, etc)
Well, they offer all those functions--Mail has Notes and To-dos show up in both Mail and iCal, plus Address Book. Clearly someone made the fundamental decision that separate integrated programs were better than an all-in-one, so I wouldn't expect an all-in-one from Apple in any foreseeable future. But you can send a feature request, if you like:
http://apple.com/feedback
What would be interesting---and may exist, I haven't looked---would be if a third-party used the open access to iCal/Address Book info to build an all-in-one that integrated with Apple's separate apps, which could provide seamless iPhone/OS X integration while still letting people have the unified interface. Postbox uses Address Book but I didn't see any calendar/notes features in my quick check. Lots of apps build better replacements for Apple's individual programs--BusyCal, I think a Mail replacement, etc---but nothing unified that I've heard of.
However, my point was that you may be better off grabbing Entourage 2008 while it is still available than waiting for Outlook 2011, which is going to be a different program. Sometimes features go backwards, and Missing Sync compatibility may change or be delayed with Outlook 2011. I don't see the advantage of hanging onto PD until the very last minute.
