Data types in SAP version 4.0

Hello
I have a requirement of copying a program from SAP version 4.7 to version 4.0.However String data type is not supported by version 4.0.
What are the data types in version 4.0.?
Is there any substitute of using sring data type in version 4.0 as I have to store a value
whose length can be even more than 500 characters.
Thanks and Regards

Handling RAW data types (from SAP) in Adobe forms - Illegal Arg Exception

Hi,
I have a scenario where I have to get data of type RAW in SAP to Adobe Forms using web dynpro java. What is the corresponding type in Web Dynpro / Adobe Forms.
I am using Adaptive RFC and when I get the model from SAP function module, the RAW type is created as Binary type in the data dictionary of Web Dynpro.
When I map the model context to controller context, the type is taken as byte[].
I tried to set the attribute for this field and I got the Illegal Argument Exception error.
I am using NWDS 7.0.9 and NW04s SP12. Pl help. I am working on this since 10 days but could get no solution.
The initial exception that caused the request to fail, was:
<b>java.lang.IllegalArgumentException</b>
at com.sap.dictionary.runtime.DdTypeBinary.format(DdTypeBinary.java:60)
at com.sap.dictionary.runtime.DdTypeBinary.toString(DdTypeBinary.java:64)
at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.data.DataContainer.doFormat(DataContainer.java:1405)
at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientserver.data.DataContainer.getAndFormat(DataContainer.java:1098)
at com.sap.tc.webdynpro.clientimpl.xdp.renderer.data.XfdRenderer.renderAttributes(XfdRenderer.java:370)
... 41 more

Issue with the RAW data types is resolved now. I have changed the data type of the field into String in the dictionary (web dynpro).. I have changed the corresponding getters and setter functions from byte[] to string. And everything working fine now. I got the Illegal Argument exception initially because I was trying to display the binary data type fields on the adobe form or view which I am not supposed to do.
Also it is better to create separate view attributes in the context to get the values rather than mapping the model attributes directly in the form or view.
Thank you one and all.

Line incomaptibilty betwwen RAW and CHAR data types in SAP Unicode System.

Hi Gurus,
I am working in SAP Unicode system.
We have transferred the standard programs for Non-Unicode to Unicode system.
In one standard function module, <table name> is defined in TABLES parameter as a type of TLINE structure, which has two fields - one is 132 length CHAR and other is 2 length CHAR.
In the same function module , one subroutine is being called, for which <table name> is passed.
But in the FORM of subroutine, this table is defined as a type of HLINE, which has only one field - 134 length RAW data type.
So due to confilct in data types ( CHAR and RAW ) , I am getting an error that both data types are not line compatible.
Do i need to use casting concept to remove the error.
Please suggest me the way to handle this.

hi,
declare the table as same data type.
dont go for any other types.
if you still want the form table as HLINE, then before the form call declare a varibale with TLINE data type pass the values to HLINE.
i think this will be little complex, because again it will be type incompatablity.
we can forcefully pass the values to HLINE with a class.
but i think no need, declaring with same data type might be easy.
Thanks

How to change data type of attribute in caf

hi.
this is my problem.
i been added a attribute in an entity service called emloyee. named "Birthday", use the data type "com.sap.caf.core.date".
when i tried modify the entity service, i hit exception about "DST Daylight Saving Time".
because of DST, the date will add an hour such like "1957/04/01 00:00:00.0" to "1957/04/01 01:00:00.0", and com.sap.caf.core.date will throw an exception.
is anyone had same problem like me?
how to fixed it(if passable)?
and, how to change data type?
thanks.

Hi Sruthi,
all you need to do on this is open the report go to the parameters, select the parameter that you wish to change and click "Edit". This will allow you to change thefield to a date rather than a date time.

Noel

Data types in pi 7.1

Hi,
when do you use core, free and aggregated data types?
Thanks in advance
regards,
Ramya Shenoy

This may help you,
Introduction
SAP delivers descriptions of Global Data Types (GDTs) as Enterprise Services Repository (ESR) content to customers. Customers can create their own data types in the ES Repository and use SAP GDTs.
u2022
Two ways of modeling data types are supported: Classical XSD style and new CCTS (Core Component Technical Specification) style.
u2022
Data types are classified as free-style (classical), core (atoms of CCTS modeling), or aggregate (complex CCTS)
u2022
Standard fault data types are no longer created automatically for every namespace (only when fault message type is created).
u2022
Additional functions in data type editor provide better support for structural changes (e.g., moving subtrees).
More Information:
SAP Help Portal: Global Data Types
According to this, we distinguish between SAP Core Data Type and SAP Global Data Type. The SAP Core Data Type as well as the W3C Type (XSD type) does not have any business semantics. The SAP GDT has business semantics, it actually can be based on either a core or an aggregated DT.
Free-style data types are directly based on the primitive data types, e.g., xsd:decimal. They do not need any further parameters to define themselves.
More Information:
u2022
SAP Help Portal: Core Data Types and Aggregated Data Types Recommendation
When to use free, core and aggregated data types
Core data types are based on CCTS specification. Aggregated data types have business semantics, are based on CDTs, and are the basis for application-specific data types SAP-wide.
Customers who adhere to the CCTS specification or have business scenarios dealing with SAP backend systems, should try and reuse the existing core and aggregated data types delivered by SAP. However, customers who wish to use their own schema for defining the data types, free-style data type is the preferred approach.
While transferring the business scenarios from XI 3.0/PI 7.0 to PI 7.1, all the data types in the design objects will be transferred as free-style data types by default.
While creating new objects in PI 7.1x, it is recommended to reuse the core and aggregated global data types provided by SAP.
The detailed list of SAP delivered data types is available on SAP Developer Network (SDN) at ES Workplace.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/esworkplace
Core data types
Core data types are based on representation terms which are ISO 15000 5 (ebCCTS) compliant.
SAP delivers core data types with the same name as representation terms. Applying the standard methodology simplifies the implementation of cross-company processes.
CDTs are intermediate data types, and are a level above primitive data types like decimal, string, etc. They are defined by representation terms such as Amount, Identifier, etc. They are themselves not yet application-specific and are therefore referred to as context-free.
While creating core data type based on any given representation term, we get an option to either use a default XSD type or reuse an existing core data types.
For using the standard XSD types we select Type as u2018XSD Typeu2019
For reusing already existing core data type we select Type as u2018Data Typeu2019 Prerequisite
Define a dependency on the SWC SAP Global to reuse any of the standard core data types shipped by SAP.

How to invoke functions and data type( ex. sflight structure ) that is in t

Hi,experts,
I create a funcion(zz_test) that return sflight table type data. I need to invoke the function in the Webdynpro for java application.
I think I would import the funtion to local.
But I don't know how to import the function and the data type using SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio?
But I don't know how to invoke functions and data type( ex. sflight structure ) that is in the R/3 in the WDJ?
Do you give me some hints?
Thanks a lot!
Best regards,

Hi Wang Tao,
For achieving this you need to user Adaptive RFC models.

VL10 A - Data type "LIKPVB" was found in a newer version than required

hi Gurus!
in transaction VL10A i get a short dump that states that the data type LIKPVB was reloaded and but in a newer version than required in program RVV50R10C.
I checked the abap dictionary for the data type and it said that it was modified a month ago by SAP.
To my knowledge no new configuration or notes ware applied around this period.
The solution that the dump indicates is really wise "try to restart the program".
I searched for sap notes that would apply or sdn posts and came up empty.
Please help !

I guess you have no clue either...
any hints?

Simple Data Type in CAF of SAP NetWeaver DevStudio 7.1 SP3

Hallo
Anybody knows about the use of Enumeration for simple Data Type in CAF of SAP NetWeaver DevStudio 7.1 SP3?
I've defined an attribute "status" for the Entity "Project" with the following values
0: NEW;
1: ACTIVE;
-1: INACTIVE.
As you see the data type is short.
In the program I want to use the following code:
Project myProject = new Project();
myProject.setStatus(Status.NEW)
But I found it out, it is inpossible to to use Status.NEW.
On the other side I read the article of https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/085098ea-0c01-0010-12a8-80ac838bec85. This article is again not updated with the version 7.1 SP 3.
I cannot understand about the whole changes. In the previous release we can define a DDIC type and use it as Simple Data type and in the new Release we just use the XSD-Facet to define an enumeration, but the problem is: we can not reference it in the program. I don't see any advantage. And I tried to find out how I can define the attibute using DDIC type. I didn't get it.
Thanks for any Hints!
Kind Regards!

I am new to Teststand software interface. While doing my first software release under the guidance of a more experienced colleague, we discovered that Teststand will not run if it detects version number conflicts between custom data types on my machine vs. the production test machine. I verified differences between all .seq files in my test program directory, but I did not realize that the version number difference exists in the StationGlobals.ini file, which is stored in a different location. After discovering this, I modified the version number in one of the files. However, two releases later, I discovered that the version number mismatches in another two files. This raises several questions for me :
1. Is there a way in Teststand to view all the .seq files where a custom data type is used and then change its version number in one attempt?
2. Under what instances does Teststand upgrade the version number of a custom data type?
3. Are there any tools or scripts within Teststand that can allow the version number of custom data types to be changed in all .ini files when a difference is discovered between the current production test station settings and a new release?
Please help.

Have you read this? http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/7060
I can tell you that your situation is not uncommon with TestStand. The key is just doing it right the first time. haha
#1- I doubt that this is possible because then TestStand would have to know every location of every .seq on the machine. You will only see it when you open the sequence file.
#2- TestStand updates the version every time you change it. You should get a message popup when you try to save that asks if you want to increment the version or not. There's also a check box that says Remove Modified Mark From Types. Look under Station Options in the File tab. There are some settings there about Type conflicts.
#3- http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/7910

How to retrieve date from a set type in SAP CRM in BRF+ application

Hi,
Can anybody please let me know how can I retrieve date from a set type in SAP CRM to BRF+.
I need to process the data in BRF+ and then send it back to CRM. Thanks.
Regards
Yogesh

Hi Manish,
From my experience, you cannot change an existing attribute of a set type (esp. when it has a dependency).
You need to delete the attribute, save the changes and then re-create the attribute with new value table.
Also remove any dependencies before deleting the attribute.
