Debugging a macro

Hi all,
Can any one let know how to debug a macro
ie code between define and end define.
Regards,
siva ch

hI
You cannot debug MACRO's and you cannot set any break points in the MACRO and debugger will not go into the MACRO.
It just treats it as a statement.
in SAP there is no way to put BREAK points for MACROS
in FM you can put the break points
Reward if usefull

How to debug a macro ?

I have a piece of code, which has macro and it skips the below code, which I assume the check withing the macro has failed.Unable to trace anything so far.
* keys set within both stock types must match
    relation = s2l_strel_unrelated.
    DEFINE check_intsect_key.
* exit if key in intersection doesn't match
      check ( intsect z s2l_stock_key_&1 ) or
            ( keyvals-&1 = stock_type->keyvals-&1 ).
    END-OF-DEFINITION.
    apply_macro_to_stock_keys check_intsect_key. --- THIS CAUSES THE BELOW CODE TO BE SKIPPED, how to identify WHY ?
* if we get were, the intersection part matches
    IF only_me IS INITIAL.
      IF only_st IS INITIAL.
        relation = s2l_strel_equal.
      ENDIF.
* 'me' is more general than stock_type
      relation = s2l_strel_more_general.
    ELSEIF only_st IS INITIAL.
* 'me' is more specific than stock_type
      relation = s2l_strel_more_specific.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDMETHOD.

Made the below changes, moved the code out of the macro and debugged the same. Helps.
keys set within both stock types must match
    relation = s2l_strel_unrelated.
   DEFINE check_intsect_key.
exit if key in intersection doesn't match
     check ( intsect z s2l_stock_key_&1 ) or
           ( keyvals-&1 = stock_type->keyvals-&1 ).
   END-OF-DEFINITION.

if we get were, the intersection part matches

How Can I Schedule a Deski Report in Infoview that has a VBA Macro

Hi experts,
i've made a report that has a vba Macro. I published it in infoview. If I launch it manually (clicking on the refresh button) the macro works normaly. If I schedule it the macro doesn't work.
What can I do?
Is it possible to make a program that simulate the opening and click on the refresh button?
Or i there is another solution?
Here is my Macro:
Private Sub Document_AfterRefresh()
Dim filtervar As Variant
Dim filterText, Filter As Long
Dim DocName, NewName As String
Dim Pathing, TodaysDate As String
Dim folderName As String
TodaysDate = Format(Date, "DDMMYYYY")
Pathing = "
Ktsdwh0\c$\OutputBO\"
DocName = ThisDocument.Name
filterText = "Dpre Cod Produttore"
filtervar = ThisDocument.Evaluate("=<" & filterText & ">", boUniqueValues)
For Each sepval In filtervar
    Filter = sepval
    For n = 1 To ThisDocument.Reports.Count
        Call ThisDocument.Reports(n).AddComplexFilter(filterText, "=<" & filterText & "> = " & Filter)
        ThisDocument.Reports(n).ForceCompute
    Next n
        MkDir (Pathing & Filter & "\")
        NewName = Pathing & Filter & "\" & Filter & "-" & TodaysDate & "-" & DocName   'for Prova_Prod.rep
'        NewName = Pathing & Filter & "-" & TodaysDate & "-" & DocName   'for Prova_Prod.rep
        ThisDocument.ExportAsPDF (NewName)           'to Save as PDF
Next
    For n = 1 To ThisDocument.Reports.Count
      Call ActiveReport.AddComplexFilter(filterText, "=<" & filterText & "> = <" & filterText & ">")
        ' To delete a Complex Filter, you set it equal to itself...
      ActiveReport.ForceCompute
    Next n
End Sub
Please Help!

Hi Philippe,
If you are using Windows 2003 with SP2 then it might be the issue as already logged for BOXIR2.
You can test the issue by using only Windows 2003 without SP2.
In case your operating system is only windows 2003 then following information and code might be helpful for you to resolve the issue.
There are a number of things to check when setting up a macro to work through Infoview or scheduled. The first thing is that the macro needs to be triggered to run. This is done by putting a call to the macro in the Document_BeforeRefresh or the Document_AfterRefresh event handler.
The report server and job server are designed to process one report at a time. Through a macro it is possible to open more than one report, and do various processing with those additional reports. Since the report and job servers are not designed to process more than one report, your macro should not open an additional report.
The fact that only one report is processed at a time also affects the syntax you should use when referring to a document or report object. In the DeskI client you can use the ThisDocument object to refer to the report which is running the macro. You can also use the ActiveDocument object to refer to the report that is currently displayed. Most of the time these two objects will point to the same report. When the report server or job server process a report there would never be the possibility for a different report to be active, so the ActiveDocument object does not exist. This also applies to the ActiveReport object. Instead of using ActiveDocument your macro code should use the ThisDocument object. Instead of using the ActiveReport object you should use ThisDocument.Reports.Item(1) to refer to this first report tab in a report.
These items are the most common issues that will cause a macro not to run through Infoview or when scheduled. The best way to debug a macro which is not working in either of those places is to include code which will log the macro's progress to a file. This makes it easy to determine exactly which line of code is causing issues so that it can potentially be corrected.

Macro not getting executed fully

Hello All,
I have written a macro for checking whether incoming data formats are correct for all the fields ( 6 importing structure in method, 1header and 5 items ). Now my code will be common for all the tables, so I wrote a macro. The problem is after the first call of the function module 'DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET' , it is coming out. Even though it is returning correct value, and not raising any exception. Problem is we cannot debug a macro and also not set breakpoint.
Code is given below:

Hai Go through the following Document
Macros can only be used in the program the are defined in and only after the definition are expanded at compilation / generation. Subroutines (FORM) can be called from both the program the are defined in and other programs . A MACRO is more or less an abbreviation for some lines of code that are used more than once or twice. A FORM is a local subroutine (which can be called external). A FUNCTION is (more or less) a subroutine that is called external. Since debugging a MACRO is not really possible, prevent the use of them (Ive never used them, but seen them in action). If the subroutine is used only local (called internal) use a FORM. If the subroutine is called external (used by more than one program) use a FUNCTION

Difference between Macros and subroutine

Hi all,
What is the difference between the macros subroutine and function module functinalitywise.;

Hi,
Macros can only be used in the program the are defined in and only after the definition.
Macros can take max 9 parameters.
Macros are expanded at compilation / generation.
Subroutines (FORM) can be called from both the program the are defined in and other programs ('perform
' of 'perform in program ').
Subroutines can take any amount of parameters.
Subroutines are 'expanded' at runtime.
Functions are just like FORMs, but are intended to be called external.
Some differences between FUNCTIONs and FORMs:
The name of a FORM must be unique within the program (two programs can have different FORMs with the same name). A FORM is intended to be called internal (from within the program, however by a 'trick' you can call them external).
The name of a FUNCTION has to be unique throughout the system. A FUNCTION is intended to be called external (and is thus shared by 'many' programs).
The latter is more important for programmers and maintenance. Since a FUNCTION is called external, it is important to keep the interface (parameters) the same. The interface of a FORM (which is intended to be called internal) is check when debugging a program (but it is only checked within the program that is debugged). So if the interface of a FORM is changed, but the call to the FORM (perform ) is not, the debugger will notice this and issue an error message.
In general:
A MACRO is more or less an abbreviation for some lines of code that are used more than once or twice.
A FORM is a local subroutine (which can be called external).
A FUNCTION is (more or less) a subroutine that is called external.
Since debugging a MACRO is not really possible, prevent the use of them (I've never used them, but seen them in action). If the subroutine is used only local (called internal) use a FORM. If the subroutine is called external (used by more than one program) use a FUNCTION.

Macro expansion in the compiler

Is their any C++ compiler option for Solaris Studio which will show me each step in the expansion of a macro when I compile a program ?
I know about the compiler option which gives me the source after preprocessing. But that just shows the source from any macro after macro expansion has completely occurred. I need to see each step of the expansion of a macro as the preprocessor is expanding it.
Both gcc and clang have such a macro expansion compiler option so I am hoping that Solaris Studio C++ also has one.

Clang automatically shows step-by-step macro expansion whenever it generates a preprocessor error leading to the error.
With gcc the option -ftrack-macro-expansion=1 shows macro expansion for any macros it encounters when compiling. Clang may well also be supporting this gcc option also as it tries to be compatible with gcc as much as possible.
I will try -xdumpmacros but unless it shows step-by-step the expansion of a macro it will not be what I want. Perhaps there is an Oracle C++ #pragma which will show step-by-step macro expansion for any particular macro ?
I have been involved in the Boost preprocessor library as a Boost developer and have my own macro library called VMD, accepted into Boost, which I am trying to test with Oracle C++. If a macro in my library is not handled correctly by Oracle C++ the best way to debug the situation is if I can see how Oracle C++ is expanding my macro step-by-step. Since some other compilers can do this I was hoping Oracle C++ had a similar compiler option.
Boost have has a tool called Wave which shows a wonderful step-by-step macro expansion the way it should occur for a C++ standard preprocessor. It has been an invaluable tool during my development of my macro programming library. But any given compiler might not be expanding the macro correctly and unless I can figure out what a compiler might be doing if the macro expansion is not creating the correct output, it is very difficulty debugging a macro expansion problem unless the particular compiler can show a step-by-step expansion of a macro.

Difference between Macros and subroutines

Hi experts can any one tell difference between macros and subroutines.

1) Macros can only be used in the program the are defined in and only after the definition are expanded at compilation / generation. Subroutines (FORM) can be called from both the program the are defined in and other programs . A MACRO is more or less an abbreviation for some lines of code that are used more than once or twice. A FORM is a local subroutine (which can be called external). A FUNCTION is (more or less) a subroutine that is called external. Since debugging a MACRO is not really possible, prevent the use of them (Ive never used them, but seen them in action). If the subroutine is used only local (called internal) use a FORM. If the subroutine is called external (used by more than one program) use a FUNCTION
2) The macros, which we may use,
(stored in table TRMAC)
, we cannot debug that code.
3) where as in subroutine,
its a abap code, directly visile in
the editor,
and we can debug this code.
4) MACROS =>
Getting a feel of macros
The basic syntax of macros is as follows:
DEFINE macro_name. "Macro Definition
. Statements
. Statements
END-OF-DEFINITION. "Macro Definition
macro_name par1 par2 par9. "Macro call -parameters separated by spaces
Within the DEFINE... and END-OF-DEFINITION lies the body of the macrothe statements that you wish to be executed each time the macro is called. These statements may be any valid ABAP statements, such as WRITE, CLEAR, FORM calls, or database statements such as SELECT or UPDATE.
To familiarize yourself with the working of macros, it's necessary to take a close look at exactly what happens when an ABAP program containing a macro call is generated. Consider Listing A.
All ABAP programs must be generated before they can be executed. At the time of program generation, the system supplants each macro call, as shown in Listing A, with the statement(s) placed between the macro definition. Furthermore, the parameters passed at the time of macro calling are copied in place of the any placeholders (numbered &1, &2 &9) found in the body of the macro definition. The system simply ignores the presence of the macros during the execution of the programthat is, all statements are executed as a single block of code:
write : int1.
write : int2.
write : int3.
Other than readability and meaningfulness, macros also offer performance advantages. For testing purposes, I wrote a macro that incremented the value of a variable by 1 and called the macro N times via a DO loop, as shown here:
DEFINE INCREMENT.
ADD 1 TO &1.
END-OF-DEFINITION.
DO N TIMES.
INCREMENT VAR1.
ENDDO.
SUBROUTINES=>
Subroutines
You call subroutines from ABAP programs using the PERFORM statement.
Subroutines are introduced with the FORM statement and concluded with the ENDFORM statement.
You can define subroutines in any ABAP program. You can either call a subroutine that is part of the same program or an external subroutine, that is, one that belongs to a different program. If you call an internal subroutine, you can use global data to pass values between the main program and the subroutine. When you call an external subroutine, you must pass actual parameters from the main program to formal parameters in the subroutine.

Workbook with macro

Hi,
I have a workbook with different slides. I use a macro for different things but one of them is for hidding some columns in the slide in which I have the result from the query. In one of the slides there is a table in which, it´s supposed, the user should enter data. Each time the user enter data, when I try to run the workbook, afterwards, I get the next error message.
Error 1004. Error in the Select method from the Range Class.
Does anyone know anything about this error message ?
Thanks and regards
Jesú

Hi,
I guess its Microsoft Excel error message, try debugging the macro and you will find why the error is coming from.

I cant believe this little comment has been so helpful!
But yes it is:
I explain, despite my efforts to find, googled it, forums, faqs, etc...
no where it mentionned the manifest.fm file is... INSIDE the .jar!
Your comment "a zip" made me attempt to open it with winrar, and I found a manifest.fm file inside!
So far I was editing the one at the "source" of my project and rebuilding it with netbeans.
I am going to try that now.
Actually.... :( no its mentionning my main class!

Oh and I felt on your comment "dont ask us" as if I was suppose to know... i'm a beginner, I did not know that! And I tried to give you so many infos so you dont lose your time if you want to help, especially as after my own research I found many, many results for this "main class" and I tried a few solutions!

How to extract data from maintenance view

Hi experts,
How can I select the data from maintenance view. As you know select query doesn't work on the maintenance view. And View name will be known at run time only.
Thanks

That is the most important part. Thank you. But you seem to be unaware of the "search" functionality.
If you can imagine that you are not the first person to ask a certain question, then you can be sure that someone else already has and you can find the answers on your own. If you still have doubts, then ask a specific question providing the details.
Based on your other questions, you are on release 4.0B. Is that still correct?
Cheers and thanks for responding,

Error - "Exception during parsing of upload document"

Hi,
I am getting following error when trying to upload data with my custom integrator:
"The upload process has completed with errors. Press Close to return to the document and fix the errors.
Upload processing did not complete
Exception during parsing of upload document"
My custom integrator was created for UPDATE mode with view AP_HOLDS_V and Release_Holds API. I also added Standalone Query (to limit downloaded data to not released holds and user releaseable). Layout contains only API parameters fields (however I had some context fields, but error message was the same then).
I am quite new to Web ADI and I still don't have full understanding, maybe someone can also answer following questions:
- what is mapping needed for? is this to map view/table fields with the layout field?
- how does integrator know which layout field should be mapped with parameters of API?
- is there no web adi template to modify columns assigned to interface? is this only possible with UPDATE commands?
- where is bne log file stored?
I would appreciate if someone can help. I was even debugging VBA macro to see if that error is on client or server side, but it looks like it is on the server side.
Regards
Piotr

Hi
Work processes:
the actual Place where the ABAP work is done
there are following work processes:
DIALOG,UPDATE, SPOOL, BACKGROUND, ENQUE/DEQUE,MESSAGE etc
See this
ABAP FAQ:
1. How data is stored in cluster table?
Each field of cluster table behaves as tables which contains the no. of entries.
2. What are client dependant objects in abap/sap?
SAP Script layout, text element, and some DDIC objects.
3. On which even we can validate the input fields in module progams?
In PAI (Write field statement on field you want to validate, if you want to validate group of fields put in chain and End chain statement.)
4. In selection screen I have three fields, plant mat no and material group. If I input plant how do I get the mat no and material group based on plant dynamically?
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR MATERIAL.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST' to get material and material group for the plant.
5. How do you get output from IDOC?
Data in IDOc is stored in segments, the output from Idoc is obtained by reading the data stored in its respective segments.
6. When top of the page event is triggered?
After excuteing first write statement in start-of-selection event.
7. Can we create field without data element and how?
In SE11 one option is available above the fields strip. Data element/ direct type.
8. How do we debug sapscript?
Go to SE71 give lay set name , go to utilities select debugger mode on.
9. Which transaction code can I used to analyze the performance of ABAP program.
TCode AL21.
10. How can I copy a standard table to make my own z_table.
Go to transaction SE11. Then there is one option to copy table. Press that button. Enter the name of the standard table and in the Target table enter Z table name and press enter.
Following are some of the answers which I gave upto my knowledge.
1. What is the use of 'outerjoin'
Ans. With the use of outer join you can join the tables even there is no entry in all the tables used in the view.
In case of inner join there should be an entry in al the tables use in the view.
2. When to use logical database?
Ans. Advantage of Logical databases:
less coding s required to retrieve data compared to normal internel tables.
Tables used LDB are in hierarchial structure.
3. What is the use of 'table index'?
Ans .Index is used for faster access of data base tables.
4. What is the use of 'FOR ALL ENTRIES'?
Ans. To avoid nested select statements we use SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES statement.
If there r more than 10000 records SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES is used.
Performance wise SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES is better to use.
5. Can you set up background processing using CALL TRANSACTION?
Yes,Using No Screen Mode.
6. What are table buffers?
Table buffers reside locally on each application server in the system. The data of buffered tables can thus be accessed
directly from the buffer of the application server. This avoids the time-consuming process of accessing the database.
Buffering is useful if table needs to be accessed more no. of times in a program.

Deepti
1. There are other ways of entering data into a DB table. ex. B D C
2. Collect statement collect/adds the records basing on a key field. allows to create summarised data sets.
Append will append/add a record at the end of existing records
8. to release an object - use se10/se9
9. sales doc flow: S. A. - S. O. - Delivery - Billing
12. Delivery - invoice.
15. field symbols are used for dynamic allocation. at runtime u can assign a concrete field to field-symbol.
Kishore
1. you can go to abap editor (se38) and use insert statement for insertion update for update and modify for modifications.
2. collect will not allow duplicate entries, while append can allow duplicates.
3. if any changes are made to objects they are to be transported to different systems i.e, change and transport.
4. in user exits we go by general method for enhancements while BADIs we use objects (oops concepts)
methods for enhancement.
14. table controls are enhanced version for step loops where we can expand rows .main difference between these two
is step loop can be expanded to two lines table controls can`t.
15. field symbols are just like pointers concept which are used in C language. We use them when we want to refer to
the fields considered,it doesnt allocate any memory for it.
Venu Rapolu
1. Ans: Using BDC., LSMW,,ALE., BAPI
2. Ans: Collect: it adds the numeric fields to the existing non numeric key field records., thereby avoiding duplicate
values., and append will simply adds the record
3 . Ans: The CTS contains work bench organizer and transport system :
The workbench organizer is used to record and contol changes to the ABAP/4 development objects;
The transport system is used to move objects from an SAP dev.system to production system
6. Ans: Outbound interface is used to send IDocs to the ALE server.,
Inbound interface is used to Analyse the received Idoc.
7. Ans: We (ABAPers) don't do.
8. Ans: se09 or se10
13. Ans: MATMAS
CREMAS
DEBMAS
GLMAST etc...
14. Ans: to display records in table format., we use in Screens
15. Ans: we assign the field content at run time with ASSIGN stmt.
Satish D
1. goto se16 u can view the table contents
2. collect will collects all the numeric fields of nonnumeric field values
append will append record at the end of table
3. when we are creatiing new task like dev. a new prg.. after completion of dev. that will be trnsported to testing system or production system to do that we are assigning an
transport request from our dev.class(system) by using se09
4. badis are dev. by class and inheritence methods where as user exitsdev by SAP only and empty shells filled wit user logic
5. go to system then status
6. outbound generating an idoc in ale layer with master_idoc_create_messgetype,
inbound is receivng system with idoc_inbound_process, gives an return variable wether it is sucess or not
7. no we have to configur that
8. go to se09 or se01 there write your task no and use release button it will asks whats the other system name
and number enter them and relase by pressing jeep button
9. inquiry
quotation
sales order
shipping
delivery
invoice
return goods
12. after creation of delivry note invoice is prepared
13. master_idoc_distribute will generate standard idoc
Deepti
I am enclosing some of answers which I know.
1. We can use t.Code SE16 to enter values into table only if table maintainence is allowed for that table.
2. Append will add new entries into the table where as collect add into the numeric type fields if other charatcer fields
matches to your selection criteria.
3. CTS used for creation of ABAP development transport requests.The transaction code for this is SE10.
4. UserExits r used for adding additional functionality to the existing SAP standard transactions.Using UserExits we can add additional functionality standard SAP functionality without making any changes to the original code.BADI is a standardized interface for ABAP sources that enables partners and customers to enhance SAP-delivered programs in their namespace.
5 .We can identify User exits by using transactions CMOD and SMOD.
6. After entering transaction code SE10 select the transport request which u want to transport and click on transport icon(Truck symbol) to release it.
10. Purchase Requistion->RFQ->Vendor Evaluation->Purchase Order(ME21).
14. Table control is the only facility provide thru dialog programming when we come acrosse the use of updating standared,deletion,insertion and all database operations.
15. Field symbols r pointers to the existing data types(like 'C') which does not allocate any memory space. These are used faster access of data.
Answers to some ABAP Interview Questions:
Questions which I have faced in an interview:
1) What is runtime analysis? Have you used this?
2) What is meant by performance analysis? Have done anything to improve the performance?
3) How to transfer the objects? Have to transferred any objects?
4) How did you test the developed objects?
5) What is the difference between SAP Memory and ABAP Memory?
6) In order to upload Purchase order details, how you handle multiple values for a single field?
Eg: Item field may contain no. of values for a record
7) What is the procedure you followed to upload the data?
8) How did you handle errors in Call Transaction?
9) Among the Call Transaction and Session Method, which is faster?
10) What are the difference between Interactive and Drill Down Reports?
11) How to pass the variables to forms?
12) How to create a link between modified form and modified print program?
13) What is the table, which contain the details of all the name of the programs and forms?
14) How did you test the form u developed? How did you taken print?
15) What are Standard Texts?
16) What is the difference between Clustered Tables and Pooled Tables?
17) What is pf-status?
18) Among "Move" and "Move Corresponding", which is efficient one?
19) What are the output type and Tcodes?
20) Where we use Chain and Endchain?
21) Do you use select statement in loop endloop, how will be the performance? To improve the performance?
22) In select-options, how to get the default values as current month first date and last date by default?
Eg: 1/12/2004 and 31/12/2004
Go thru these answers:
1) What is runtime analysis? Have you used this?
It's checks program execution time in microseconds. When you go to se30.if you give desired program name in performance file. It will take you to below screen. You can get how much past is your program.
2) What is meant by performance analysis? Have done
3) How to transfer the objects? Have you transferred any objects?
4) How did you test the developed objects?
I was testing a developed object. There are two types of testing
- Negative testing
- Positive testing
In negative testing we will give negative data in input and we check any errors occurs.
In positive testing we will give positive data in input for checking errors.
8) How did you handle errors in Call Transaction?
We can create a internal table like 'bsgmcgcoll'. All the messages will go to internal table. We can get errors in this internal table.
Below messages are go to internal table. when you run the call transaction.
- Message type
- Message id
- Message Number
- Variable1
- Variable2
- Variable3
9) Among the Call Transaction and Session Method, which is faster?
Call transaction is faster then session method. But usually we use session method in real time...because we can transfer large amount of data from internal table to database and if any errors in a session. Process will not complete until session get correct.
10) What are the difference between Interactive and Drill Down Reports?
ABAP/4 provides some interactive events on lists such as AT LINE-SELECTION (double click) or AT USER-COMMAND (pressing a button). You can use these events to move through layers of information about individual items in a list.
Drill down report is nothing but interactive report...drilldown means above paragraph only.
11) How to pass the variables to forms?
12) What is the table, which contain the details of all the name of the programs and forms?
Table contains vertical and horizontal lines. We can store the data in table as blocks. We can scroll depends upon your wish. And these all are stored in database (data dictionary).
Which contain the details of all the name of the programs and forms? (I don't know).
13) How did you test the form u developed? How did you taken print?
14) What are Standard Texts?
16) What is the difference between Clustered Tables and Pooled Tables?
A pooled table is used to combine several logical tables in the ABAP/4 dictionary. Pooled tables are logical tables that must be assigned to a table pool when they are defined.
Cluster table are logical tables that must be assigned to a table cluster when they are defined.
Cluster table can be used to store control data they can also used to store temporary data or text such as documentation.
17) What is pf-status?
Pf status is used in interactive report for enhancing the functionality. If we go to se41, we can get menus, items and different function keys, which we are using for secondary list in interactive report.
18) Among "Move" and "Move Corresponding", which is efficient one?
I guess, 'move corresponding' is very efficient then 'move' statement. Because usually we use this stamtent for internal table fields only...so if we give move corresponding. Those fields only moving to other place (what ever you want).
19) What are the output type and Tcodes?
20) Where we use Chain and End chain?
21) Do you use select statement in loop end loop, how will be the performance? To improve the performance?
22) In select-options, how to get the default values as current month first date and last date by default?
Eg: 1/12/2004 and 31/12/2004
SAP ABAP interview questions
Thanks to the reader who sent in this question set:
1. What is an ABAP data dictionary?- ABAP 4 data dictionary describes the logical structures of the objects used in application development and shows how they are mapped to the underlying relational database in tables/views.
2. What are domains and data element?- Domains:Domain is the central object for describing the technical characteristics of an attribute of an business objects. It describes the value range of the field. Data Element: It is used to describe the semantic definition of the table fields like description the field. Data element describes how a field can be displayed to end-user.
3. What is foreign key relationship?- A relationship which can be defined between tables and must be explicitly defined at field level. Foreign keys are used to ensure the consistency of data. Data entered should be checked against existing data to ensure that there are now contradiction. While defining foreign key relationship cardinality has to be specified. Cardinality mentions how many dependent records or how referenced records are possible.
4. Describe data classes.- Master data: It is the data which is seldomly changed. Transaction data: It is the data which is often changed. Organization data: It is a customizing data which is entered in the system when the system is configured and is then rarely changed. System data:It is the data which R/3 system needs for itself.
5. What are indexes?- Indexes are described as a copy of a database table reduced to specific fields. This data exists in sorted form. This sorting form ease fast access to the field of the tables. In order that other fields are also read, a pointer to the associated record of the actual table are included in the index. Yhe indexes are activated along with the table and are created automatically with it in the database.
6. Difference between transparent tables and pooled tables.- Transparent tables: Transparent tables in the dictionary has a one-to-one relation with the table in database. Its structure corresponds to single database field. Table in the database has the same name as in the dictionary. Transparent table holds application data. Pooled tables. Pooled tables in the dictionary has a many-to-one relation with the table in database. Table in the database has the different name as in the dictionary. Pooled table are stored in table pool at the database level.
7. What is an ABAP/4 Query?- ABAP/4 Query is a powerful tool to generate simple reports without any coding. ABAP/4 Query can generate the following 3 simple reports: Basic List: It is the simple reports. Statistics: Reports with statistical functions like Average, Percentages. Ranked Lists: For analytical reports. - For creating a ABAP/4 Query, programmer has to create user group and a functional group. Functional group can be created using with or without logical database table. Finally, assign user group to functional group. Finally, create a query on the functional group generated.
8. What is BDC programming?- Transferring of large/external/legacy data into SAP system using Batch Input programming. Batch input is a automatic procedure referred to as BDC(Batch Data Communications).The central component of the transfer is a queue file which receives the data vie a batch input programs and groups associated data into sessions.
9. What are the functional modules used in sequence in BDC?- These are the 3 functional modules which are used in a sequence to perform a data transfer successfully using BDC programming: BDC_OPEN_GROUP - Parameters like Name of the client, sessions and user name are specified in this functional modules. BDC_INSERT - It is used to insert the data for one transaction into a session. BDC_CLOSE_GROUP - This is used to close the batch input session.
10. What are internal tables?- Internal tables are a standard data type object which exists only during the runtime of the program. They are used to perform table calculations on subsets of database tables and for re-organising the contents of database tables according to users need.
11. What is ITS? What are the merits of ITS?- ITS is a Internet Transaction Server. ITS forms an interface between HTTP server and R/3 system, which converts screen provided data by the R/3 system into HTML documents and vice-versa. Merits of ITS: A complete web transaction can be developed and tested in R/3 system. All transaction components, including those used by the ITS outside the R/3 system at runtime, can be stored in the R/3 system. The advantage of automatic language processing in the R/3 system can be utilized to language-dependent HTML documents at runtime.
12. What is DynPro?- DynPro is a Dynamic Programming which is a combination of screen and the associated flow logic Screen is also called as DynPro.
13. What are screen painter and menu painter?- Screen painter: Screen painter is a tool to design and maintain screen and its elements. It allows user to create GUI screens for the transactions. Attributes, layout, filed attributes and flow logic are the elements of Screen painter. Menu painter: Menu painter is a tool to design the interface components. Status, menu bars, menu lists, F-key settings, functions and titles are the components of Menu painters. Screen painter and menu painter both are the graphical interface of an ABAP/4 applications.
14. What are the components of SAP scripts?- SAP scripts is a word processing tool of SAP which has the following components: Standard text. It is like a standard normal documents. Layout sets. - Layout set consists of the following components: Windows and pages, Paragraph formats, Character formats. Creating forms in the R/3 system. Every layout set consists of Header, paragraph, and character string. ABAP/4 program.
15. What is ALV programming in ABAP? When is this grid used in ABAP?- ALV is Application List viewer. Sap provides a set of ALV (ABAP LIST VIEWER) function modules which can be put into use to embellish the output of a report. This set of ALV functions is used to enhance the readability and functionality of any report output. Cases arise in sap when the output of a report contains columns extending more than 255 characters in length. In such cases, this set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange the different columns from a report output and also save different variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output. The report output can contain up to 90 columns in the display with the wide array of display options.
16. What are the events in ABAP/4 language?- Initialization, At selection-screen, Start-of-selection, end-of-selection, top-of-page, end-of-page, At line-selection, At user-command, At PF, Get, At New, At LAST, AT END, AT FIRST.
17. What is CTS and what do you know about it?- The Change and Transport System (CTS) is a tool that helps you to organize development projects in the ABAP Workbench and in Customizing, and then transport the changes between the SAP Systems and clients in your system landscape. This documentation provides you with an overview of how to manage changes with the CTS and essential information on setting up your system and client landscape and deciding on a transport strategy. Read and follow this documentation when planning your development project.
18. What are logical databases? What are the advantages/ dis-advantages of logical databases?- To read data from a database tables we use logical database. A logical database provides read-only access to a group of related tables to an ABAP/4 program. Advantages: i)check functions which check that user input is complete, correct,and plausible. ii)Meaningful data selection. iii)central authorization checks for database accesses. iv)good read access performance while retaining the hierarchical data view determined by the application logic. dis advantages: i)If you donot specify a logical database in the program attributes,the GET events never occur. ii)There is no ENDGET command,so the code block associated with an event ends with the next event statement (such as another GET or an END-OF-SELECTION).
19. What is a batch input session?- BATCH INPUT SESSION is an intermediate step between internal table and database table. Data along with the action is stored in session ie data for screen fields, to which screen it is passed, program name behind it, and how next screen is processed.
20. How to upload data using CATT ?- These are the steps to be followed to Upload data through CATT: Creation of the CATT test case & recording the sample data input. Download of the source file template. Modification of the source file. Upload of the data from the source file.
21. What is Smart Forms?- Smart Forms allows you to create forms using a graphical design tool with robust functionality, color, and more. Additionally, all new forms developed at SAP will be created with the new Smart Form solution.
22. How can I make a differentiation between dependent and independent data?- Client dependent or independent transfer requirements include client specific or cross client objects in the change requests. Workbench objects like SAPscripts are client specific, some entries in customizing are client independent. If you display the object list for one change request, and then for each object the object attributes, you will find the flag client specific. If one object in the task list has this flag on, then that transport will be client dependent.
23. What is the difference between macro and subroutine? - Macros can only be used in the program the are defined in and only after the definition are expanded at compilation / generation. Subroutines (FORM) can be called from both the program the are defined in and other programs . A MACRO is more or less an abbreviation for some lines of code that are used more than once or twice. A FORM is a local subroutine (which can be called external). A FUNCTION is (more or less) a subroutine that is called external. Since debugging a MACRO is not really possible, prevent the use of them (Ive never used them, but seen them in action). If the subroutine is used only local (called internal) use a FORM. If the subroutine is called external (used by more than one program) use a FUNCTION.
