Declare Types using a custom table

Hi,
I am creating a new structure in my program in ABAP Editor. The fields of this table will be all the fields in a custom table plus an additional field which is not a part of this table. The table has some 150 fields so I need to include it in my structure. I am using it in this way but its giving error:
TYPES: BEGIN OF t_struct,
             INCLUDE TYPE zcustom_table,
             zzfield      TYPE c,
             END OF t_struct.
This structure is getting created but giving an error when I am creating a table of this type as:
DATA : i_tab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t_struct WITH HEADER LINE.
Please suggest me how can get rid if this error.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Hi,
the syntax you declared is wrong,
check the below code , it will solve your problem
TYPES: BEGIN OF t_struct.
INCLUDE TYPE zcustom_table.
types : zzfield TYPE c.
types : END OF t_struct.
DATA : i_tab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t_struct WITH HEADER LINE.

Best way to declare and use internal table

Hi all,
As per my knoledge there are various techeniques (Methods) to declare and use the internal tables.
Please Suggest me the Best way to declaring and using internal table ( WITH EXAMPLE ).
Please Give the reason as well how the particular method is good ?
What are benefits of particular method ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Raj

Hello Raj Ahir,
There are so many methods to declare an internal table.
Mainly I would like to explain 2 of them mostly used.
1. Using Work Area and
2. With header line.
This with header line concept is not suggestable, because, when we shift the code to oops concept.. it doesn't work... Because OOPS doesn't support the Headerline concept...
But it all depends on the situation.
If you are sure that your program doen't make use of the OOPs concept, you can use HEADER LINE concept. If it invols OOPs use WORK AREA concept.
Now I'l explain these two methods with an example each...
1. Using Work area.
TABLES: sflight.
DATA: it_sflight TYPE TABLE OF sflight.
DATA: wa_sflight LIKE LINE OF it_sflight.
SELECT *
FROM sflight
INTO it_sflight
WHERE <condition>.
LOOP AT it_sflight INTO wa_sflight.
    WRITE / wa_sflight.
ENDLOOP.
In this case we have to transfer data into work area wa_sflight.
We can't access the data from the internal table direclty without work
area.
*<===============================================
2. Using Header line.
DATA: BEGIN OF it_sflight OCCURS 0,
          carrid LIKE sflight-carrid,
          connid LIKE sflight-connid,
          fldate LIKE sflight-fldate,
        END OF it_sflight.
SELECT *
    FROM sflight
    INTO it_sflight
    WHERE <condition>.
    LOOP AT it_sflight INTO wa_sflight.
      WRITE / wa_sflight.
    ENDLOOP.
In this case we can directly access the data from the internal table.
Here the internal table name represents the header. for each and every
interation the header line will get filled with new data. If you want to
represnent the internal table body you can use it_sflight[].
*<======================================================
TYPES: BEGIN OF st_sflight,
         carrid LIKE sflight-carrid,
         connid LIKE sflight-connid,
         fldate LIKE sflight-fldate,
       END OF st_sflight.
DATA: it_sflight TYPE TABLE OF st_sflight,
      wa_sflight LIKE LINE OF it_sflight.
This is using with work area.
DATA: it_sflight LIKE sflight OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
This is using header line.

JTable column headers not displaying using custom table model

Hi,
I'm attempting to use a custom table model (by extending AbstractTableModel) to display the contents of a data set in a JTable. The table is displaying the data itself correctly but there are no column headers appearing. I have overridden getColumnName of the table model to return the correct header and have tried playing with the ColumnModel for the table but have not been able to get the headers to display (at all).
Any ideas?
Cheers

Transaction type used for FA posting to depreciation area 01 (ordinary dep)

Hi Expert,
There is a difference between my ordinary dep area 01 and book dep area 03.
area 01 is having a USD100
area 03 is having zero USD
I need to zerolized area 01.
I have created a new TTY and limit the dep area posting to 01 in OAYA. However, when I tried to post via ABZE, it is giving me an error message AA350.
Diagnosis
According to Table T093A, if you use transaction type 050, area 03 has to adopt values from area 01 (chart of depreciation TPGL). However, the specifications made in Table TABWA for the two areas do not agree.
Procedure
Maintain the transaction type using the Customizing menu. Both areas have to have either the indicator 'propose for posting' or 'has to be posted'.
I have checked both tables and it is not allowing me to post to area 01 only. I have done this before by creating a new TTY and post to area 02 and it works.
Please advise soon how to rectify this.
Thanks.
Angel.

Hi,
please check ion OABC if area 02 takes over the values identically.

FM for F4 help on a custom table

Hi ,
Is there any FM which can show the values of a particular field of a custom table.
e.g. I have a custom table in which one of the fields in user id.
Now I wanna show it as a pop up in which the field would be user id. Now if the user clicks on f4 help of this field , I wanna show him all the values of this field from the custom table.
Please suggest how this can be done.
Regards,
Divyanshu

There are a number of ways to do this. Here is one. This example program gets values from T001 for F4 help. You can use your custom table instead.
report zrich_0001 .
tables: t001.

      bukrs type t001-bukrs,
      butxt type t001-butxt,

Small issue with custom table cell editor and unwanted table row selection

I'm using a custom table cell editor to display a JTree. Thing i notice is that when i select a value in the tree pop-up, the pop-up closes (as it should) but then every table row, from the editing row to the row behind the pop-up when i selected the value becomes highlighted. I'm thinking this is a focus issue, but it thought i took care of that. To clairfy, look at this: Before . Notice how the "Straightening" tree item is roughly above the "Stock Thickness" table row?

As I said, you have to have empty context elements before additional rows will be open for input.
For instance if you want to start with 5 rows available for input do the following to your internal table that you will bind:
data itab type standard table of sflight.
do 5 times.
append initial line to itab.
enddo.
context_node->bind_table( itab ).
The other option if you need n number of rows is to add a button to the table toolbar for adding more rows. When this button is pressed, you add a new context element to the node - thereby creating a new empty row in the table.

How to enable the DFF in OAF page(where Dff is based on the custom table).

Hi Experts!!
I am in the process of enabling the dff in OAF page. I am not able to enable the dff if am using the Custom table.
Ex:
Assume that my DFF XX_DFF is using the custom table XX_TABLE of att1,att2..
I am able to enable the dff in OAF page but not able to make those values entered to get stored in the custom table.
I need helping hands to help me out to get the entered dff values stored in my custom table.
Kindly provide me the steps so that I can follow up..

How to find out which program fill a custom table ?

Dear All,
I am trying to find out which program fill custom table, I tried se11, which programs used this custom table via where used list but could not find. Is there any different way ?
Regards

Hi Sappcon,
yes, it is as Brad said, but you should extend the approach regarding this tables content: If it is related to an existing business object (i.e. order, delivery or the like), you may have a look at user exits/Badis in that field.
Also, the dynamic approach is possible. First use report RPR_ABAP_SOURCE_SCAN to find the name of the table in all programs in customer name space - it may be defined as a constant in program/function group/class.
If the dynamic approach is used, the name of the table may be determined by reading another (custom) table or even in a programs text pool. You may find this by searching a pattern UPDATE() - or MODIFY/INSERT in customer programs.
If the table has update date/time fields, check what jobs or online activities can be responsible.
If, after all, you still do not know, then I'd say this is a consulting issue

Clemens

Adding button to a custom table cell (and handling them)

Hi
I'm wondering if it's possible to add a button on each row of a table view using a custom table cell view. If it's possible, I'm really wondering how I can handle the click events on these buttons.
Thanks

No.
Try creating a view and adding it to a cell. Let us know what problems you have, and we can try to help.

JButton in JTable with custom table model

Hi!
I want to include a JButton into a field of a JTable. I do not know why Java does not provide a standard renderer for JButton like it does for JCheckBox, JComboBox and JTextField. I found some previous postings on how to implement custom CellRenderer and CellEditor in order to be able to integrate a button into the table. In my case I am also using a custom table model and I was not able to create a clickable button with any of the resources that I have found. The most comprehensive resource that I have found is this one: http://www.java2s.com/Code/Java/Swing-Components/ButtonTableExample.htm.
It works fine (rendering and clicking) when I start it. However, as soon as I incorporate it into my code, the clicking does not work anymore (but the buttons are displayed). If I then use a DefaultTableModel instead of my custom one, rendering and clicking works again. Does anyone know how to deal with this issue? Or does anyone have a good pointer to a resource for including buttons into tables? Or does anyone have a pointer to a resource that explains how CellRenderer and CellEditor work and which methods have to be overwritten in order to trigger certain actions (like a button click)?
thanks

Yes, you were right, the TableModel was causing the trouble, everything else worked fine. Somehow I had this code (probably copy and pasted from a tutorial - damn copy and pasting) in my TableModel:
        public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col) {
            //Note that the data/cell address is constant,
            //no matter where the cell appears onscreen.
            if (col < 3) {
                return false;
            } else {
                return true;
}A pretty stupid thing when you want to edit the 3rd column...

External Content Type Using SQL

I’m trying to setup an external content type using just SharePoint designer.
I will need to be able to show other individual within the organization how to create these content types so getting it to work with just SharePoint designer is the goal.
No Programming involved please.
Abbreviated Steps I have taken
The account that we will use to connect to 2012 SQL server has been created and the correct permissions have been granted to the database.
The secure store service account has been created and setup
Go into SharePoint designer 2010 to create the external content type using
Impersonated Custom Identity and inputting in the username and password that was setup in SQL server and added to the secure store credentials for the secure store service. I receive error cannot login with the provided credentials.
I have searched the web trying to correct this issue and cannot find anything that will assist.
Everything either shows you to connect with windows identity (not an option) or breezes past this issue.

To connect as an impersonated custom identity you have to:
1. Be sure SQL login on SQL Server uses SQL authentication
(not Windows one!)
2. Create target application in Secure Store with:
a. Target app type - "Group"
b. Field types - Username and
Password
3. Don't forget to grant required permission to a new Traget Application.
Here is a good guide (look at steps 4-8):

Create search helps for fields of custom tables

Hi,
Could any one please provide me the step by step process to create search helps for fields in custom tables?
Thanks in advance,
Nobin.

Hello Nobin
There is basically no difference between a search help for standard vs. customer tables.
An important choise is the selection method for your search help:
Either you use your custom table, a view or a search help user-exit if you need to implement very specific requirements.
Assuming that you can use your DB table as selection method the further implementation of the search help is quite straightforward:
(1) Define the parameters you would like to have a selection criteria (SPos = SPos) and which should appear on the result list (= LPos).
(2) Define the parameters that can be used as input for the selection (flag IMP) and are returned by the search help (flag EXP)

Create Contact Type in Create Customer contact screen of collections mgt

Hi All,
Can anyone please let me know if its possible to create a new contact type ( Currently we have four default types (Outbound call / Inbound Call / Visit to Customer / Visit from Customer) in the FSCM collections management, in the create customer contact screen.
If its possible to create a new contact type, please let me know where to do that.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks
Krishna

You can add new contact types in the customizing table UDMV_CCT_TYPE.
With this you would be able to select the contact types you have
defined.
Please note that you can create entries in this table only with the
customer namespace i.e. prefix 'Z' to the contact type that you choose.
e.g. if you want to create a new entry in contact type say 'TEST' then
the entry in the customizing table should be as below:
Contact type | Name of contact type
Z03 | TEST
Another point to note here would be that for each entry that you create
in this table, the system displays 2 entries (1 for Inbound and 1 for
Outbound) in the contact type dropdown on the customer contact screen in the collection management system. This is as per the standard design
and it cant overridden.
Thanks

Custom tables???

This quotes is in the admin guide.
"This functionality is useful when custom tables attached to FDM applications require updating."
I do need a custom table, anyone know where to find any documentation on creating them?
Jz

it's in the admin guide p.178.
I need to import a text file from a target system and map their key fields to the FDM primary key field for a location. The data they send will drive the FDM process, to a degree.
I will be emailing processed files to them for loading and need those key fields from their system mapped.
So, I need a custom table...that I will need to define.

Custom table needs to be updated based on changes in Info type P0000

Hi All,
   I have a requirement wherein when we make changes to info type P0000 this should be reflected to a custom table.
If i create a new record, delete an existing record or make changes to a record in INFOTYPE P0000 this should also be reflected in my custom table.
   My custom table has 5 fields from info type p0000 and some custom fieds.
   please can you let me know exactly which user exit to use to acchieve the solution. and where exactly i can put the logic.
Thanks,
Mars

Hi Venkat,
I tried to code in the method AFTER_INPUT and executed but there are few thing which i have come across.
1. when ever i create a new record in PA40 and each time i save the screens of PA40 this method is called and based on check it tries to update the table taht many times.
2. The logic which i have used in the BADI implementations is as below:
DATA: l_text TYPE string,
             l_answer TYPE string,
             lw_split TYPE XXXX. (custom table)
IF old_innnn NE new_innnn.
    lw_split-mandt = sy-mandt.
    lw_split-pernr = new_innnn-pernr.
    lw_split-begda = new_innnn-begda.
    lw_split-endda = new_innnn-endda.
    l_text = 'Does this employee need a split STIP?'.
        Display a pop up message to the user.
    CALL FUNCTION 'POPUP_TO_CONFIRM'
      EXPORTING
        titlebar                    = 'Choose'
        text_question               = l_text
        text_button_1               = 'Yes'
        text_button_2               = 'No'
        default_button              = '1'
        display_cancel_button       = space
     IMPORTING
        answer                      = l_answer
     EXCEPTIONS
        text_not_found              = 1
        OTHERS                      = 2.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      IF l_answer EQ '1'.
        lw_split-stflg = 'Yes'.
      ELSE.
        lw_split-stflg = 'No'.
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
    MODIFY TABLE XXXX FROM lw_split.
    CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'
      EXPORTING
        wait = 'X'.
ENDIF.
3. when i try to activate this chunk of code it gives me error saying "XXXX" is unknown. i tried to declare it under TABLES but in Vain.
4 I have also tried to use the modify statement in IN_UPDATE instead of updating custom table in same method but its giving me same error "XXXX" is unknown. i tried to declare it under TABLES but in Vain.
can you let me know your view on this. The above chunk of code is in case of creating a new record in P0000 info type.
Thanks,
Mars
