Declaration of subroutine formal parameters in ecc 6.0

In extended syntax check of my program, how can i declare formal parameters ?
the warning is
Program: ZADI_V_R_869_870_STATUS Row:    751
Parameter "P_LV_UNSHIPPED_QTY" is untyped.
Static type checks and optimizations,
therefore, cannot take place.
If a type cannot be declared, use the type ANY.
ANY. use the type ANY. use the type ANY.
use the type ANY.

So how to declare here in ecc 6.0 ?

It depends on which BW environment has an RFC connection to the ECC environment you're activating the DataSource in. Typically, environments are paired, similar (but not always) like the depiction below:
ECC Development <-> BW Development
ECC QA <-> BW QA
ECC Production <-> BW Production
Best Practices suggest that a DataSource be activated and put on a transport in the ECC Development environment. Upon activation of the DataSource in ECC Development, replication of the DataSource in the BW Development environment can take place and Best Practices suggest putting the DataSource on a transport in BW. As the ECC transport is promoted throughout the ECC landscape, the BW transport is promoted throughout the BW landscape in order to keep them in sync.
So, if the envrionment that you've just activated the DataSource has an RFC connection to your BW Production environment, you can replicate in BW Production and if that's your standard practice, then that's the way your should do it. It's typically, however, not considered a Best Practice to be able to create, update or delete in a production environment.

How to define this FORMAL parameters for a std. SAP itab?

Hello Experts,
Am writing a custom PERFORM in a standard SAP include-RVCOMFZZ by using modification assistant, like below,
RVCOMFZZ:
PERFORM my_routine IN PROGRAM my_report USING com_vbapvb.
(here com_vbapvb is a TABLES parameter with STRUCTURE of vbapvb in the std. sap FM).
my_report:
FORM my_routine USING here_I_want_to_know_the_data_object
ENDFORM.
Here pls. let me know How to define the FORMAL parameters of my_routine? I tried with different options, but did not worked out. Preferable let me know in OOPS concepts (not using TABLES)
Thank you

Hi,
here is example how to write you structure content regardless what com_vbap has field list.
PERFORM my_routine IN PROGRAM my_report USING com_vbapvb.
FORM my_routine USING here_I_want_to_know_the_data_object.
field-SYMBOLS: <field> type any.
do 100 times.
 assign COMPONENT sy-index of structure ls_VBAPVB to <field>.
 if sy-subrc = 0.
 write:/ <field>.
 else.
 exit.
 endif.
enddo.
ENDFORM.

Transport of Global Parameters from ECC to SCM

We have tried to set up RSA1 in our SCM development systems for both F&R and EWM to allow us to transfer calendars, UOMs etc from ECC to these systems but have hit a couple of snags...
We have the following system/client structures for the F&R SCM system:
Development                    Quality Assur.                  Production
DF0 260 (Golden)                 QF0 360                              PF0 960
DF0 261 (Unit Test)
DF0 262 (Perf. Test)
And for BI we have:
DB0 120                                QB0 220                             PB0 920
For the QA and Production instances, we do not have an issue, since the limitation of having only one BI client per system doesn't matter as we only have one client to connect.
But for the Development systems, currently it is the DF0 261 client that is connected to the DB0 120 BI client. We want to be able to pull the data from our ECC golden client (DE2 700) into each of the DF0 clients. But when we try and run RSA1 in any other client than 261, we get an error telling us that only one client can connect to BI and we must work in that client.
I thought we could maybe get around it by simply running report RSIMPCUST in a batch job, but cannot see how to save a variant with the source client name in it since this is always greyed out when you run it online. I guess if I maintain the BI system as the default client for each of these F&R systems in SCC4 it might work, but I don't know what else uses this default client value?
Does anyone know of any workarounds for this? It would be really nice to be able to synchronize all systems (especially as the link is between two non-BI systems, so the BI restriction should not even apply). If we have to go back to the current approach of manually updating the development systems for any changes in ECC then we may as well use that for all clients and just transport the changes. It is not a good solution though...
Thanks,
Luke

there is some explanation to what you have mentioned in Re: Factory Calendar
this talks about calendars and is relevant till SCM 4.x
I would imagine the situation would be the same for UOM
In SCM 5 you have the option to update the tables, Rebuild the tables and also a simulation option

Passing Parameters from ECC (NWBC) to Crystal Reports

Hello All,
I would like to know if anyone has had experience passing a value from ECC (the shipment number, for example) in NWBC into a link for Crystal Reports, so the report will load with the parameter instead of having the user input it again.
In other words, on NWBC shipment screen, if the user clicks the link, the report should automatically load with the shipment number filled in, instead of having the user enter the shipment number again.
Thanks.

Declare variables vs passing parameters

Hi,
I'm just curious about it. What is the difference in declaring an variable (static or not) and having your methods use that (get/set) and declaring a method variable and passing that along other methods that you call?
Some people have said that variables that have to be used by more than 1 method should declare an instance variable.
Can anyone enlighten me?
Thanks.

Are you asking about the pourpose of inspectors (the get methods)?
You have to understand whats the pourpose of a defined Object by a programmer.
public class Sum {
     private int num1 = 0;//this private variables belongs to the Object Sum, and normally they are
     private int num2 = 0;//ALWAYS PRIVATE
     public Sum(int num1, int num2){//this is the constructor, its where u initialize ur private variables
          this.num1 = num1;
          this.num2 = num2;
     public int getNum1() {//this is an inspector, it gets the num1 of the private variable num1
          return num1;
     public int getNum2() {//this is another inspector but this time for num2
          return num2;
      * Whats the pourpose of the inspectors? Why not make the private variables public?
      * Heres the answer..If u make those private variables public, you risk on having
      * more mistakes in ur program, you always should restrict variables as much as possible
      * so the chances on making mistakes decreases
     public int result() {//this isnt an inspector, but a method that returns the sum of both num1 and num2
          return num1 + num2;
      * Now how to use this Object to ur needs
     public static void main(String[] args){
          Sum add = new Sum(12, 10);
          System.out.println("Add");
          System.out.println("Num1: " + add.getNum1() + "\n" +
                              "Num2: " + add.getNum2() + "\n" +
                              "Result: " + add.result());
           * You can make more Sum's if u like but each of them have their own variables
          Sum another_add = new Sum(20, 15);
          System.out.println("Another add");
          System.out.println("Num1: " + another_add.getNum1() + "\n" +
                    "Num2: " + another_add.getNum2() + "\n" +
                    "Result: " + another_add.result());
           * Now that whe have both results we can compare them
          System.out.println("Result in add: " + add.result() + "\n" +
                              "Result in another_add: " + another_add.result());

Issue with formal parameters

Hi,
The Sample Procedure is been displayed Below:--
i_userId is an input (number) parameter to the Stored Procedure (SP)..
This same parameter is used for filtering Data (can be found almost bottom , i had marked as "ISSUE FOUND" there.).
i'm been using the SP without TO_NUMBER (i_userId) in my database 11g which works fine.
When the same Script is been imported to another 11g Database.. the query fetches NOTHING..... And it Works only when i had given TO_NUMBER (i_userId)........
Why is its So?........

i'm been using the SP without TO_NUMBER (i_userId) in my database 11g which works fine.
When the same Script is been imported to another 11g Database.. the query fetches NOTHING..... And it Works only when i had given TO_NUMBER (i_userId)........
Why is its So?........
Is this issue occur due to any installation problem, or Database creation problem.............Check the datatypes involved on the machine where it is not working. Its possible an implicit datatype conversion is taking place and is producing different results (leading spaces, for instance, in a string) than the TO_NUMBER

How to define FORMAL parameters for TABLES in OOPS?

Hello Experts,
Below is the custom code, would like to put in a user-exit
PERFORM my_routine
IN PROGRAM my_report
TABLES standard_sap_vbap_tab
USING standard_sap_variable
CHAGING standard_sap_variable
Pls. let me know How to write the FORM in perspective of data objects defination in OOPS for the above routine.
FORM here_pl_let_me_know_how_to_define_the_data_objects
ENDFORM.
Thank you

This is a very basic question. F1 help on statement form will do.

Subroutine parameters ..by default pass by value or pass by ref

how parameters pass ? value or ref
if we use changing in both perform and form...will it become CALL BY REF?

Hi,
The Parameter Interface
The USING and CHANGING additions in the FORM statement define the formal parameters of a subroutine. The sequence of the additions is fixed. Each addition can be followed by a list of any number of formal parameters. When you call a subroutine, you must fill all formal parameters with the values from the actual parameters. At the end of the subroutine, the formal parameters are passed back to the corresponding actual parameters.
Within a subroutine, formal parameters behave like dynamic local data. You can use them in the same way as normal local data objects that you would declare with the DATA statement. They mask global data objects with the same name. The value of the parameters at the start of the subroutine is the value passed from the corresponding actual parameter.
Subroutines can have the following formal parameters:
Parameters Passed by Reference
You list these parameters after USING or CHANGING without the VALUE addition:
FORM <subr> USING ... <pi> [TYPE <t>|LIKE <f>] ...
CHANGING ... <pi> [TYPE <t>|LIKE <f>] ...
The formal parameter occupies no memory of its own. During a subroutine call, only the address of the actual parameter is transferred to the formal parameter. The subroutine works with the field from the calling program. If the value of the formal parameter changes, the contents of the actual parameter in the calling program also change.
For calling by reference, USING and CHANGING are equivalent. For documentation purposes, you should use USING for input parameters which are not changed in the subroutine, and CHANGING for output parameters which are changed in the subroutine.
To avoid the value of an actual parameter being changed automatically, you must pass it by value.
Input Parameters That Pass Values
You list these parameters after USING with the VALUE addition:
FORM <subr> USING ... VALUE(<pi>) [TYPE <t>|LIKE <f>] ...
The formal parameter occupies its own memory space. When you call the subroutine, the value of the actual parameter is passed to the formal parameter. If the value of the formal parameter changes, this has no effect on the actual parameter.
Output Parameters That Pass Values
You list these parameters after CHANGING with the VALUE addition:
FORM <subr> CHANGING ... VALUE(<pi>) [TYPE <t>|LIKE <f>] ...
The formal parameter occupies its own memory space. When you call the subroutine, the value of the actual parameter is passed to the formal parameter. If the subroutine concludes successfully, that is, when the ENDFORM statement occurs, or when the subroutine is terminated through a CHECK or EXIT statement, the current value of the formal parameter is copied into the actual parameter.
If the subroutine terminates prematurely due to an error message, no value is passed. It only makes sense to terminate a subroutine through an error message in the PAI processing of a screen, that is, in a PAI module, in the AT SELECTION-SCREEN event, or after an interactive list event.
Specifying the Type of Formal Parameters
Formal parameters can have any valid ABAP data type. You can specify the type of a formal parameter, either generically or fully, using the TYPE or LIKE addition. If you specify a generic type, the type of the formal parameter is either partially specified or not specified at all. Any attributes that are not specified are inherited from the corresponding actual parameter when the subroutine is called. If you specify the type fully, all of the technical attributes of the formal parameter are defined with the subroutine definition.
The following remarks about specifying the types of parameters also apply to the parameters of other procedures (function modules and methods). If you have specified the type of the formal parameters, the system checks that the
corresponding actual parameters are compatible when the subroutine is called. For internal subroutines, the system checks this in the syntax check. For external subroutines, the check cannot occur until runtime. By specifying the type, you ensure that a subroutine always works with the correct data type. Generic formal parameters allow a large degree of freedom when you call subroutines, since you can pass data of any type. This restricts accordingly the options for processing data in the subroutine, since the operations must be valid for all data types. For example, assigning one data object to another may not even be possible for all data types. If you specify the types of subroutine parameters, you can perform a much wider range of operations, since only the data appropriate to those operations can be passed in the call. If you want to process structured data objects component by component in a subroutine, you must specify the type of the parameter.
