Collections as parameters to functions

I am working on a project where I ideally need to pass and
return collections (i.e. nested tables) of different
formats/schemas to/from functions. The functions perform various
set operations.
The problem is that in a strongly typed environment such as
Oracle8i I can only return a nested table of the type I declare
at compile-time.
I would like to be able to pass tables of different formats to
the functions and also return tables of different formats.
I see that Oracle TimeSeries has functionality that resembles
mine, but in TimeSeries all tables have a format known at
compile time.
I have come to a dead end, with regards to finding a way this
could be done. Does anyone know a sollution or have any hints as
to which direction I should explore in order to find a
sollution.
Thanks

Query q = ...
Collection someValues = ...
q.declareParameters ("Collection possibleValues");
q.setFilter ("possibleValues.contains (field)");
Collection results = (Collection) q.execute (someValues);
That will produce SQL like:
WHERE FIELDX IN (<values in someValues collection>)

How to log input parameters for Function Modules?

Hi,
I need to create a Logging system to trace input parameters for function modules.
The log functionality could be done by developing a class method or a function module (For example 'write_log'), and calling it within each function module that I want to log. The 'write_log' code should be independent from the interface of the Function Module that I want to log.
For example, I'd like to write a function/class method that can log both these functions modules:
Function DummyA
   Input parameters: A1 type char10, A2 type char10.
Function DummyB
   Input parameters: B1 type char20, B2 type char20, B3 type char20, B4 type Z_MYSTRUCTURE
Now the questions...
- Is there a "standard SAP" function that provide this functionality?
- If not, is there a system variable in which I can access runtime all parameters name, type and value for a particular function module?
- If not, how can I loop at Input parameters in a way that is independent from the function module interface?
Thank you in advance for helping!

Srinivasan-
For creating a Generic extractor based on a FM, you first of all need to know what is going to be your structure.. i.e. what all fields you need to pull from what all tables. A functional consultant may help you identify the exact DB tables.
Once you know them, hand over the requirement and the pdf mentioned by Krishna to the ABAP guy, he would be able to take this up further.
Also decide 1st whether you would be using a full load or delta. There is a slight difference in the way they are built.
Let me know how it goes.

Need of Changing Parameters in Function Module

Hi All,
Why we need sepearte Import and Export parameters in Function Module if the Changing Parameters
acts as both import and export parameters.
What is the use of using Changing Parametrs in Function Module.
Thanks in advance.
Sundaresan

Hi,
EXPORT PARAMETERS: When u r passing some value to the function, and the parameter will not be changed in the function, we use export parameter. Example: u pass parameter (a : 10) to a function, even after the function has been executed, value of a will be 10 only.
IMPORT PARAMETER: When u require some value back from the function. u do not provide any initial value to the function. Example : u pass a parameter (b: <blank>) to the function, function returns the same import parameter as (b : 20).
CHANGING PARAMETER: When u pass some value to the function and that function may change that value inside function, then changing parameters are used. Example: u pass parameter ( c: 30) to the function as changing parameter and function modifies this variable and return ( c: 50).

Difference between Import and Export parameters in Function Module

Hi All,
I am unclear about the import and export parameters, when i create a function module. Can anyone explain abt this. However when i call the function module in any program the import parameters in Function module are displayed as exporting in program amd the export parameters as importing.
Any help on this would be appericiated.
Shejal.

HI,
Import parameter in FM is the value u provide to FM for processing.
export is the value u get from FM after processing.
when u call a FM in a progam the import parameter will appear as Export bcos u r giving value to the FM.
and u r getting value from FM in import parameter(bcos u r importing).

Named Parameters in Functions: Possible?

I want to use named parameters to call PL/SQL functions using JDBC, as is best practice and necessary for default values to work. Unfortunatley all the examples I found are for procedures only. Using a positional registerOutParameter with named register / get methods on the CallableStatement does not work, obiviously.
Is there any proper way to use named parameters with functions ? Proper does not include writing wrapper procedures nor turning functions into procedures.

Hi Avi,
as far as I know the return value of a PL/SQL function does not have a name, as oposed to the parameters of a PL/SQL function, which must have a name. One could argue that the return value of a function is called the same as the function itself. I have tried that option but it does not work.
Unfortunatley the method OraclePreparedStatement.registerReturnParameter refers to something else than the return value of a PL/SQL function. Is it possible that the developers of the driver have forgotten something?

Probelem with passing parameters to function module

hey i am facing a problem to pass the parameters to function module.let me explain.. we cant pass the parameters which we are using in the select option statements directly to a function module called...i just wanna know if there is any way so that i can pass those values to a fnc module while passing it from select options

Hi,
You have to create a table type in SE11..
Check this sample table type PDSMAINT_MATNR_RNG_T...
Then use that table type in the importing parameter of FM..
PT_MATNR TYPE PDSMAINT_MATNR_RNG_T..
For which field you have created select-options..I will check if there is any existing table type in se11..
Thanks,

What are the parameters of Function Module

Hi,
What are the parameters of Function Module?

Function Modules are special external subroutine stored in a central library. The R/3 system provides numerous predefined function modules that you can call from the ABAP/4 programs.
All the function Modules are created under the Function Groups. Function Groups are nothing but the related group of function modules.
The function modules can be maintained through T.CodeSE37 and T.Code SE80.
In general the function module has the following components.
Documentation:
This is the place where you can find the discription/purpose of the function module.
Import & Export Parameters.
Import parameters correspond to the formal input parameters of subroutines. They pass data from the calling program to the function module.
Export parameters correspond to the formal input parameters of subroutines. They pass data from the function module back to the calling program.
Table Parameters.
Table parameters are internal tables. Internal tables are treated like changing parameters and are always passed by reference.
Exceptions.
Exceptions are used to handle error scenarios which can occur in the function modules. The function modules checks for any type of error and raise exception and returns SY-SUBRC value to the calling program.
Source Code:
the programming logic of the function module is written in this source code.

A simple question about parameters to functions

hello,
Passing parameters between functions in java suppose to be "by reference".
I have a simple test case that it doesn't work.
I'll be happy if someone will tell me what is wrong:
public class Test
String text ;
public static void main(String[] args)
Test test = new Test();
test.poo() ;
public void poo ()
text=new String(" bbb") ;
foo (text) ;
System.out.println ("final text= " +text) ;
private void foo(String text)
System.out.println ("text before update= " +text) ;
text="aaa" ;
System.out.println ("text after update= " +text) ;
The output here is:
text before update= bbb
text after update= aaa
final text= bbb
How can you explain that?
thank you,
Moran

> Passing parameters between functions in java suppose to be "by reference".
Nope. First, we call them "methods" rather than "functions". Second, everything in Java is passed "by value". Everything.
Pass-by-value
- When an argument is passed to a function, the invoked function gets a copy of the original value.
- The local variable inside the method declaration is not connected to the caller's argument; any changes made to the values of the local variables inside the body of the method will have no effect on the values of the arguments in the method call.
- If the copied value in the local variable happens to be a reference (or "pointer") to an object, the variable can be used to modify the object to which the reference points.
Some people will say incorrectly that objects are passed "by reference." In programming language design, the term [i]pass by reference properly means that when an argument is passed to a function, the invoked function gets a reference to the original value, not a copy of its value. If the function modifies its parameter, the value in the calling code will be changed because the argument and parameter use the same slot in memory.... The Java programming language does not pass objects by reference; it passes object references by value. Because two copies of the same reference refer to the same actual object, changes made through one reference variable are visible through the other. There is exactly one parameter passing mode -- pass by value -- and that helps keep things simple.

Is it possble to use out/inout parameters in function?

Is it possble to use out/inout parameters in function?

Hi,
user10784864 wrote:
But I can't call the function from SQL if it contains DML statements also right?Right.
I know of two separate and independent reasons why fucntions with OUT arguments (or IN OUT arguments; I'll just say OUT in the remainder of this message)might not be a good idea.
(1) They can be confusing, and
(2) you can't call them from SQL statements.
My reasons for (1):
They are potenially confusing, because people usially expect the function value (alone) to pass information back to the caller. I like to write code that works. I like to avoid writing code that doesn't work, even if the reason is simply because someone else didn't read the documentation carefully. Notice I didn't say "Never write a function with OUT arguments", I said think carefully before you do. I believe there are good uses for such functions. I also believe that there are good uses for duct tape, and those good uses account for maybe 1% of the actual applications. (By the way, DML in stored procedures is another thing that is done far more often than it should.)
If one of these reasons doesn't apply in your case, you should still consider the other reason.

Collection problem with RFC function module WSDL.

Hi.
I have developed an RFC function module in a SAP system version 4.7 (WAS 620). This FM has 2 table parameters. I have no problem when I see the WSDL in the SAP Web Service Browser.
Another team is trying to consume this RFC FM as a web service from a Java application but they say they can't see the table parameters as collections.
Here is the WSDL of the FM, the table parameters are T_MOVIM and T_ERROR:

Should I change something in the definition of the parameters of the FM? or the problem is with the parsing process on the other system?
Thanks in advance.
Fabian.

Welcome to SDN.
I am not sure about this particular issue, but i have used WSDL from WAS6.20 system in MS Office infopath to consume webservice where we have had table parameters without any issue.
may be try with office infopath to make sure that the problem is with the WSDL or with the java application.

Help on the parameters for function ENQUEUE_E_TABLE

Hi,
Does anyone has detailed help on the parameters for the function ENQUEUE_E_TABLE?
For example, what does the parameter _SCOPE? and how many keys can I specify in VARYKEY?
Thanks

Hi,
SCOPE is for - Control lock behavior when calling the update task.
ENQMODE - Lock mode
VARYKEY - Lock key for tables
TABNAME - Table Name
COLLECT - Flag whether locks should only be collected first
I think VARKEY Accept one value only.

Discoverer report with parameters and functions

I am new to Discoverer. Is there a way to create a report (with parameters) of one line per customer such that the following data will be displayed for each customer?
Among the parameters is: from_date (month & year) ,to_date
The basic query gives totals for each date (month & year) for every customer.
Among the fields displayed:
1-customer_id,
2-balance until from_date,
3-total activity between from_date and to_date
I have a function to calculate the total balance until from_date, but then I cannot get the total activity on the same line. I tried using another function and I tried using a total calculation but to no success.
Is this possible?
Thanks.

Hi Markus
You need to determine whether you can in fact call a Discoverer report using a URL before linking it in Portal. You need to run the report in Viewer first and then see copy the URL from the address line of the browser. Then you open another browser and paste the URL. You may well be prompted for a username and password but hopefully the correct report with the right parameters will then execute.
Assuming this works you then paste the same URL link into Portal and you should be able to get the report to run.
Best wishes
Michael

Issue with Multivalue report parameters optional functionality

I am using SSRS 2012 reporting services to develop my SSRS report. I came across that I cannot have multi-value parameters as optional. In a report I have 5 parameters and 3 parameters (Invoice Type, Markupcode, Accountnum has multivalue selection so user
can select mutltiple accountnum or codes to get data). There is no option you can choose Allow null value. I went through various forums but unable to get worked. So I created this question. I am not doing any complex functionality, its very common functionality.
In the past I have used various reporting tools and never came across this issue. so please help here. I appreciate all your kind help. thanks.
Regards
Nitin

Hi Nitin,
As per my understanding, it seems that you want to build a multi-value parameter including the NULL value. By default, when we configure the parameter with the two options: Allow null value and Allow multiple values, we will receive an error message. To
work around this issue, we can use the ISNULL function to change null values to blank values (''). For more details, please refer to the following steps:
1. Modify the dataset used to retrieve data for the tablix like below:
SELECT id, invoiceType, markupCode, AccountNum FROM table WHERE ISNULL(invoiceType, '') IN (@InvoiceType)
2. Modify the dataset used to retrieve values for @InvoiceType like below:
SELECT DISTINCT ISNULL(invoiceType, '') AS invoice, ISNULL(invoiceType, 'NULL') AS InvoiceDescription FROM table
3. Modify parameter @InvoiceType, check Allow blank values ('') and Allow multiple values check boxes. Change the available values: Value field: @Invoice, Label field: InvoiceDescription.
The following screenshot is for your reference:
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Wendy Fu
