Copy a program standard
Hi experts , a client of a friend of mine is asking her to create a program similar to transaction MM01 ( Create materials ) because this client wants theirs own set of Z tables with the same info manage for this tnx, is there a easy way to do this ? thank you very much for your ideas.
This is a rubbish business requirement.
A client shouldn't ask we want a copy of mm01 so we can use custom tables.
The real requirement should explain the required functionality.
Then with a consultant you can look at the options of realizing said functionality, which could be in SAP and could even be with custom tables, but could also be realized using something altogether differently.
Tell your friend to retrieve the requirement which is now basically hidden by a custom report request.
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

Runtime Error In copy Of SAP Standard Program
How do people,
I have copied a SAP standard program H99CWTR0 because I need to add an extra
column output in the report. I have made a few chnages regarding the INCLUDES
When I run the program I am getting the following runtime error:
" The structure of the COMMON PART "DRIVER_DATA_EXCHANGE"
in program "%_T01050" is different from the calling program .....
My question is that it says the error in program "%_T01050" !!
But when I enter this in SE38 it says it doesn't exist !
Any ideas???
AndyThanks mate for replying.
I'll have a look at what you suggest

Link copy SapScript with Standard program
hi experts,
I have copied one sapscript form from one standard script and copied print program from standard program....
can u tell me how to link both of them (print program and form)and how to make changes in the form and program ?
regards,
rohit
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Feb 15, 2008 3:11 PMAssigning Form and Driver proram to an Output type is as follows.
1) Go to NACE transaction
2) Select an Applicatin(V1-Sales,V2-Shipping,V3-Billing)
3) Click on Outputtypes Button
4) Comes to Change Mode
5) Click on New Entries button
6) Specify Output type,Form name and Program and Save it.
Check these links
/people/venkata.ramisetti/blog/2006/09/21/configuring-output-types-for-pdf-based-print-forms
NACE is the Tcode used to link the Application type, Output Types and its processing Routines like ( Driver programs and attached Script forms or Smartforms).
You should know the Application of a document first Like:
for PO it is EF, for sales Doc's it is V1, for Delivery docs it is V2, for billing Doc's it is V3 etc.
so first select the Application type (ex: EF) for PO and press OUtput types
then a list will come in that you should know the related output type for PO.
in this case it is NEU,
select that and click on the processing Routines button on the left side
it will display the Medium, Driver Program and the Script form or smartform related to that document..
All nace entries are stored in TNAPR table
1. In simple words, it
is used for printing documents eg. purchase order, sales order etc.
2. eg.
For company1, there is purchase order A,
for company2, there is purchase order B,
for purchasing organisation 3, there is purchase order C.
Now, this type of MAPPING (which is totally dynamic and changeable)
cannot be HARDCODED in the standard sap program.
3. Hence, NACE,
provides this facility to MAP
as per users requirement.
ie. We can determine the OUTPUT using NACE.
Output means for eg. Printing of purchase order
Determine means = dynamically detecting which output (PO eg)
hence, it is also called OUTPUT DETERMINATION using NACE.

BPEL programming standards document
Does anyone have a programming standards doc they would be willing to share? We're new to BPEL and our IT manager is asking for a programming standards document. The doc would include details on naming conventions of files, variables, procedures, comments, formatting, best practices, etc - all the boring standards stuff that I do not have the experience to write. Thank you.
Each site will have their own standards.

Error while copying Z program to another enviroment
Hi, experts
I have a Z program into one client's enviroment, which works fine. I tried copying this program into another client's enviroment, and i get the following error message, while syntax check:
"RC_IN1 must be a byte-type field. (Typ X or XSTRING)."
And this error is on the following form:
form xor using rc_in1 type c rc_in2 type c rc_out type c.
data:
li_abit type i,
li_bbit type i.
rc_out = space.
if rc_in1 <> space.
do 8 times.
get bit sy-index of rc_in1 into li_abit.
get bit sy-index of rc_in2 into li_bbit.
if li_abit <> li_bbit.
set bit sy-index of rc_out to 1.
else.
set bit sy-index of rc_out to 0.
endif.
enddo.
if rc_out = space.
rc_out = rc_in1.
endif.
endif.
endform.
When I check into one client's enviroment, it does not gives error. Only in THAT client.
Why is this happening?
Thanks in advance,
Brian GonsalesHi,
are the both client environments hav same version (ECC 6).
In ECC 6 version type X is not allowed.
To avoid this problem,
you need to declare the field of TYPE C.
you need to get the value from Cl_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES.

ABAP programming standards for SELECT...ORDER BY....
I recently saw a set of programming standards that stated it was better not to use an ORDER BY clause on a SELECT statement. Instead SELECT into an internal table and use SORT. The actual statement was....."In most cases it is preferable to do the sorting within the ABAP program instead of on the database server. That means: fill the internal table via a SELECT statement and then sort via the SORT statement instead of coding a SELECT u2026 ORDER BY. The sorting of large amounts of data on the database server affects the performance of all users on the system, whereas the sorting within the ABAP program u2018onlyu2019 affects the application server. However, if an index exists on the table that can be used for the sorting then the SELECT u2026 ORDER BY doesnu2019t cause any undue strains on the system."
I think this is no longer correct particularily with regards to Systemi/iSeries which we normally run in 2 tier mode.
What are people opinion on this?Peter,
the correct answer for DB2 on IBM i is "it depends". To implement "ORDER BY", the optimizer has basically these choices:
- If an index with the columns of the "ORDER BY" clause exists, the database can access the data through this index, which returns them in the desired order. However, the data needs to be fetched row by row, so for each returned row you need one I/O request.
- If such an index does not exist, the database can choose to perform a sequential read into a temporary storage and sort the temporary result set before returning the data to the caller. This is basically the same as reading the data into an internal table and let ABAP do the sort. Even if an index exist, reading the whole table into memory and sorting it there may be faster, because on a sequential read, the database can execute a "blocked" fetch rather than many individual I/O operations. You may see this if the table is relatively small.
- If such an index does not exist, the database could also choose to create a temporary index and access the data through the temporary index. For the first execution, you don't gain much, but subsequent executions may perform much better. However, after an IPL you loose all temporary indexes, so the index needs to be built again on the first execution after the IPL.
If you code your ABAP to read the table sequentially and sort it in memory, you are forcing the second implementation. If you code ABAP with the ORDER BY in the SELECT statement, you allow the database optimizer to choose the best possible implementation depending on the size of the table, the size of the result set, and the available indexes.
If your table is relatively large but the result set (based on the WHERE clause) is relatively small, make sure to have an index that combines the WHERE clause elements returning only one value with the ORDER BY clause elements.
For example, if you have a query like:
SELECT * FROM T
WHERE A = ? AND B = ? AND C IN (?, ?, ?)
ORDER BY D, E
you should have an index over columns A, B, D, and E for the best possible performance. A and B in the index can be used to limit the result set without any influence on the sort order D, E, but C cannot.
Kind regards,
Christian Bartels. -
Hi ,
Does SAP give any guidelines / document on Programming standards ? I understand that it is specific to individual implementations , but wondered if there could be any guideline by SAP .
Regards ,
SujathaLots of things can be included in standards.
It somewhat depends on your system size, number of users, how much development etc. as to how detailed you want to get.
Some of the common (programming) standards I have used at various sites:
P_ for parameters
s_ for select options
gv_ for global variables
lv_ for local variables
pv_ for passed variables in forms
gt_ for global itabs
lt_ for local itabs
gs_ for global structures
ls_ for local structures
co_ for constants
V_ = For local & global Variables; Field Strings.
W_ = For workflow container elements.
I_ = For internal tables
Program names need to be something that you and your company are comfortable with. Many sites used to do something like
Z - custome prefix
FI - module
R - report
nnnn
reward points if it is usefull ..

Have an iMac & buying a second one, how to copy my programs?
I copied my programs from my son's macbook, no cds, now I want to copy them to a new imac. some software to buy?
The easiest way would be to join the two machines with an Ethernet cable, create a network between the two, turn on file sharing and just copy whatever files you want to copy across.
Or you could join them with a firewire cable and boot up one of them in Target mode (holding down the 'T' key). Again, just copy files across.
Or you could download the new Airport 'N' enabler and use the extra speed to accomplish the Ethernet cable thing - but wirelessly.
If you want to copy all the files across I would use the Migration Assistant in the iMac. Just join the two machines with a Firewire cable, turn both machines on. The iMac will give you the chance to use the MA as part of the initial startup process. It will do a search, find the MacBook and ask if you want to copy the files from it and as they say in Britain, Bob's your Uncle!

Copy and edit standard smartform...
In tcode VA03, there is a form for printing the header. I want to add additional data to that smartform not by editing the standard form. Instead, I should edit the copy of the standard form.
Then go to transaction smartforms, enter the name of your smartform, and then click on the Copy button on top left.
You need to then also amend your config to call your smartform. Plenty of posts/blogs on this. -
Help! PL/SQL Programming standards
Hello,
I need help from experienced developers urgently.
I am in process of applying for new job and I have received two documents from my potential employer (software company).
One document represents design and programming standards and other documents represents test PL/SQL package that is written according to those rules.
My task is to analyze programming standards and send my opinion about correctness of those standards, whether they are according to current best practices or not, whether they represent current industrial standards in programming in general and specifically in PL/SQL programming and so on. I have already sent them my answer and I wish to estimate my chances of getting that job.
Abstract from standard:
1. All variables and objects should be named according to their type (integer, varchar, character...etc) (sufix Hungarian notation)
2. All variables in PL/SQL should be prefixed with “v_” and written in camel case
3. SQL and PL/SQL built in functions should all be written in lower case.
4. All procedures should be prefixed with “pr_”
5. All functions should be prefixed with “fn_”
6. All packages should be sufixed with “_pkg”
7. View names should be prefixed with “v_”
8. All tables in Oracle schema should be prefixed with that schema name
9. Variables declared in package specification should be prefixed with “pksv_“
10. Variables declared in package body should be prefixed with “pkbv_“
11. Embeded SQL query in FOR LOOP statements should never be used because programm code is „dirty“ and unreadable.
example:
instead of : FOR v_User_Rec in (select * from all_users) LOOP...
use: FOR v_User_Rec in cursor_name LOOP...
12. Every query that retrieves more than 1000 rows should be optimized.
13. Font for writing code in PL/SQL Developer editor should be Arial and tabs should be used.
I would appreciate replies from experienced PL/SQL developers especially those that have also experience in other programming languages.
I have sent my answer to employer that programming standard is according to best practices and according to industry standard.
I am worried a little about that Hungarian notation, is it still being used?
If not when it was stopped being used?
What are my chances of getting job?
Would you hire a programmer that works according to those standards?
Thanks.Hi,
Welcome to the forum!

I have already sent them my answer and I wish to estimate my chances of getting that job.There is no agreement about what the "best practice" is. I'm sure you'll see that as soon as you have 2 replies. I'll tell you what I use and how strictly I do it, what I find useful, and what other experienced programmers seem to do, in my experience.
Abstract from standard:
1. All variables and objects should be named according to their type (integer, varchar, character...etc) (sufix Hungarian notation)I use suffixes that show, not only the data type, but how the variable is being used. Fo example, abbr means an abbreviation (something that reminds you of the full spelling), cd means a code (something that does not necessarily resemble its meaning), name is a complete name (not abbreviated or coded). These are all VARCHAR2 types. (Actually, cd may be a NUMBER.) I do this for maybe 25% of the variables I use in production code, when I think confusion with other variables, or doubts about the meaning, would be likely. For column names in tables, I might do it more than 50% of the time. Many people don't bother at all.
2. All variables in PL/SQL should be prefixed with “v_” and written in camel caseI don't know of any experieced programmers who always use v_. Maybe 1 out of 4 programmers use CamelCase. I use lower case myself in PL/SQL. In languages where names are case-sensitive, this is much more important. I use CamelCase all the time when I program in PostScript.
3. SQL and PL/SQL built in functions should all be written in lower case.I do almost exactly the opposite: I put keywords and built-in funtions in UPPER case, and I find it very helpful. A lot of experienced programmers do the same, though some use lower case, and a few don't follow any pattern.
4. All procedures should be prefixed with “pr_”
5. All functions should be prefixed with “fn_”I don't know anybody who does 4 or 5, or anything like them.
6. All packages should be sufixed with “_pkg”
7. View names should be prefixed with “v_”Some people do 6 and 7, or something similar.
8. All tables in Oracle schema should be prefixed with that schema nameI never seen this. If you want to clarify who owns a table, you can explictly give the owner name, e.g. scott.emp.
9. Variables declared in package specification should be prefixed with “pksv_“
10. Variables declared in package body should be prefixed with “pkbv_“I've never seen 9 or 10 done, but I can see why somebody might find it helpful.
11. Embeded SQL query in FOR LOOP statements should never be used because programm code is „dirty“ and unreadable.
example:
instead of : FOR v_User_Rec in (select * from all_users) LOOP...
use: FOR v_User_Rec in cursor_name LOOP...It's often unnecessary, and it can be more efficient to combine them. Sometimes it simply isn't possible.
If code gets difficult to read, it's often because it's not being modularized properly.
12. Every query that retrieves more than 1000 rows should be optimized.Every query (and other statement) should be optimized, regardless of how many rows it retrieves. How much time you spend optimizing any one query depends on several factors. How often the query is done, and the table sizes are more important than how many rows will be returned.
13. Font for writing code in PL/SQL Developer editor should be Arial and tabs should be used.I find a fixed-width font, such as Courier, is much more convenient.
Whitespace, including tabs, should definitely be used.
I would appreciate replies from experienced PL/SQL developers especially those that have also experience in other programming languages.
I have sent my answer to employer that programming standard is according to best practices and according to industry standard.
I am worried a little about that Hungarian notation, is it still being used?
If not when it was stopped being used?
What are my chances of getting job? Either I'm on the committee that's deciding, and therefore can't tell you, or I'm not, and therefore I don't know.
Would you hire a programmer that works according to those standards?Sure. I'd also hire programmers who preferred other standards, or didn't care about some of the items above. -
Copying print program for sapscript
Hello all,
I would like to customize the print program PSFCPICK which we are using to print a sap script for shop orders.
So I did a copy of the program and named the new one ZPSFCPICK and assigned the copied print program to the list in OPK8. I know the copied print program is called when printing the script,
but no output is coming out of the printer. When I change it back to the original program, it is working fine.
Is there anything I have to pay attention when copying a print program??
Thanks
AnneHI Anne,
Check in this custom program or copied program whether you are calling FM - CLOSE_FORM
The function module closes the layout set opened using OPEN_FORM. The system executes any terminating processing steps for the last opened layout set. You must use this function module to close layout set printing. Otherwise, no output appears on printer or screen.

Copy a program from one sap system to another
hi all,
i need to copy a program from one sap system to another..along with the text symbols, selection-texts and includes without any transport request release...how can i do that?
thanx in advHi,
You need to Download the Program first in to Local desktop then upload the same to another server, we can not move the code directly from a server to another server without a Transport request.
but you can call the program from other server using RFC destination, create a RFC for that server and create a function module in the server which the program is there and use the SUBMIT statmet in that function module, then from the other server call this function module using RFC destination

DEAR ALL,
SIR I WANTED TO COPY A PROGRAM AND EDIT THT AFTR COPYING,
AS I M COPYING,BUT IT IS NOT GETTING EXECUTED ,AS SAME CODE IS COPIED.Hi Robin
May be you havent copied some include programs or user interfaces linked with this program. The best way to copy any program completely is
Go to se38-> write the program name ->(dnt execute or change it or display) Go to menu PROGRAM -> Copy->it will show you source program and target program name->In Target program Give name what you want to give to new program(copied) like zprogram45->In next screen that it show Copy all Documentations , variants, screens,User Interfaces, INCLUDES ->click copy button-> Give the package name
Your new program is copied and will work same as the source program
Now you can modify it according to your requirements .
Hope it will solve your problem
