Hi,
In the SAP Script, you can call the perform like below:
Syntax in a form window:
/: PERFORM <form> IN PROGRAM <prog>
/: USING &INVAR1&
/: USING &INVAR2&
/: CHANGING &OUTVAR1&
/: CHANGING &OUTVAR2&
/: ENDPERFORM
You can create a separate include or use an existing include related to your script and create the above <form> in that <prog>.
The syntax for creating the form in the include is as below:
FORM <form> TABLES IN_TAB STRUCTURE ITCSY
OUT_TAB STRUCTURE ITCSY.
ENDFORM.
Example:
In your script,
/: PERFORM GET_BARCODE IN PROGRAM ABCDE
/: USING &PAGE&
/: USING &NEXTPAGE&
/: CHANGING &BARCODE&
/: ENDPERFORM
And in the report ABCDE, create the form like this:
REPORT ABCDE.
FORM GET_BARCODE TABLES IN_PAR STUCTURE ITCSY
OUT_PAR STRUCTURE ITCSY.
DATA: PAGNUM LIKE SY-TABIX, "page number
NEXTPAGE LIKE SY-TABIX. "number of next page
READ TABLE IN_PAR WITH KEY 'PAGE'.
CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
PAGNUM = IN_PAR-VALUE.
READ TABLE IN_PAR WITH KEY 'NEXTPAGE'.
CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
NEXTPAGE = IN_PAR-VALUE.
READ TABLE OUT_PAR WITH KEY 'BARCODE'.
CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
IF PAGNUM = 1.
OUT_PAR-VALUE = '|'. "First page
ELSE.
OUT_PAR-VALUE = '||'. "Next page
ENDIF.
MODIFY OUT_PAR INDEX SY-TABIX.
ENDFORM.
Hope this helps.

Problem in getting last value of a string in Function Module

Hi,
I am working on FM in which i have to put highfen mark which is working ok,but the problem if there is when the value of string finds a space it should not insert highfen in it and i am not able to put the condition in it as it showing the higfen even when the word is full in the first line.i want to show highfen where the word is not able to display complete. here is d code which i am using right now. plzz provide me guidlines to solve this problem.
here's d code:-

Hi,
I checked your code... its working fine except for some cases it is giving dumps for which I have added certain if conditions....
Please check the modified code below... have optimized it as well by removing one extra if condition....
you can copy and paste the code below...

Determine length of string

In a print statement ie System.out.print(String), how can you ensure that the string will take up a specific number of spaces, for tabulation purposes.

    public final static String padRight(String theString, char thePadChar,
                         int len) {
     if(theString.length() >= len)
         return(theString);
     else
         return(theString +
             replicate(thePadChar, len - theString.length()));
    public final static String replicate(char c, int count) {
     StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
     for(int i = 0; i < count; i++)
         sb.append(c);
     return(sb.toString());

Function Module Interface for Agent Determination Rule without Tables Param

Hi,
I'm currently trying to create an agent determination rule using a custom function module. I know that the function module must have a certain interface consisting of two table parameters to be accepted by the system.
But since table parameters are obsolete for a few years, what's the solution for this?
As workaround, I just copied an old function module with the right interface but that's not an ideal solution for me.
Did anyone else come across this?
Thanks and regards,
Max

Hello,
"I know that the function module must have a certain interface consisting of two table parameters to be accepted by the system."
So, you have to use tables. You can't use tables in a new function, but you can copy one that does.
What sort of "solution" did you have in mind?

Access function module string from JSP file

Hello,
I an a Java person with very little knowledge of ABAP. I have a Function Module, which returns the String - Y_text with value "X" or "Y". Now, I want to use this "X" or "Y" in my JSP page. And based on the value do some things. Eg:
If (Y_text == "X")
"Value is X"
How do I pick up the valus of Y_text from the function module?
I know how to get the values from Extention Data like below, but this does not seem to be working in case of the String from function module.
String Y_text = (String) userSessionData.getAttribute("Y_text");
Kindly suggest.

Hi Shaun,
Check the below link, it discusses about calling function module from ISA. Its a nice beginner's tutorial
by Sateesh. You can copy the code given in ZAction.java in your jsp and get the values from FM.

CALL Function Module RV_CALL_CHANGE_TRANSACTION in a NEW session/window

Hi,
I am modifying report VA14L. When a sales document is clicked on in the ALV grid, I need the sales document to open in a NEW window, not in the same. To determine and open the transaction, function module RV_CALL_CHANGE_TRANSACTION is used. How can I force this FM to open in a new window?
Many Thanks,
Jeroen

Thanks.
I think you mean STARTING NEW TASK instead of IN NEW TASK because the latter does not exist. STARTING NEW TASK '<task>' does not work either, it causes a short dump:
Error analysis
    An error occurred when executing a REMOTE FUNCTION CALL.
    It was logged under the name "CALL_FUNCTION_NOT_REMOTE"
    on the called page.
So any other suggestions?

Length of a string without using any built-in functions

code that returns the length of a string without using any built-in functions.
thanks

A string is internally represented by a character array. An array of characters will reside on the stack, not the heap. Yes, we always learned that String is a reference type, but what goes on in your memory might still surprise you...
A struct is internally represented by only it's private properties, sequentially on the stack.
So basically, what I thought is happening by messing with the structlayout: is only tricking our programming a bit into thinking that the top X bytes on the stack represent a chararray, while actually we put them there as a string.
Wrong. True. And wrong.
A string is internally represented by, in that order, an array length, a string length, the chars. None of them resides on the stack.
An array is internally represented by, in that order, an array length and the chars. None of them resides on the stack.
When you use the FieldOffset attribute to handle the string as a char array, you don't get anything right:
- the Length returned is the "array length" of the string, which is equal to the string length + 1.
- the chars returned by the array indexer are shifted by 2 chars (the length of the "string length" field).
You can use the FieldOffset to make that work, but it needs a little bit more work.
unsafe static int Test()
string myString = "This string may contain many string inside this string";
string testString = "string";
int countResult = 0;
fixed (char* myChars = new StringToChar { str = myString }.chr, testChar = new StringToChar { str = testString }.chr)
// The 2 first chars of the array are actually the string length.
int myCharsLength = myChars[1] << 16 | myChars[0];
int testCharLength = testChar[1] << 16 | testChar[0];
for (int i = 0; i < myCharsLength - testCharLength + 1; i++)
if (myChars[i + 2] == testChar[2])
for (int j = 1; j < testCharLength; j++)
var c = testChar[7];
if (myChars[i + 2 + j] != testChar[j + 2])
goto endOfCharAnalyses;
countResult++;
endOfCharAnalyses:
continue;
return countResult;

Function Module GUI_DOWNLOAD: Type String Issue

I am working in 4.6C. I have used this Function Module many times in the past without issue, but not at this site. It abends and gives me the error message:
The call to the function module "GUI_DOWNLOAD" is incorrect:
The function module interface allows you to specify only fields
of a particular type under "FILENAME". The field "FNAME" specified here
has a different field type.
Here is the field declaration in the code:
PARAMETER: fname type rlgrap-filename DEFAULT 'C:/New_PO_Format.xls'.
The import parameter in GUI_DOWNLOAD for FILENAME is type STRING. When I double click on STRING in the FM I get "Unable to find a tool to process request". And, TYPE STRING does not exist in the system? I started making a Z version of GUI_DOWNLOAD, but it started giving me headaches because I had to start copying other SAP function modules.
Am I missing something? Or, is there a new and improved version of GUI_DOWNLOAD to use?

data : v_file type string.
PARAMETER: fname type rlgrap-filename DEFAULT 'C:/New_PO_Format.xls'.
start-of-selection.
v_file = fname.
use v_file in gui_download parameter.
Thanks

Sending String Data of 64 kilo bytes to Remote Function Module

Hi,
I have an RFC call from JAVA and I need to send string data to the FM. The maximum size of the data that I can send from java is 64 kilo bytes (Functional requirement). I want to receive this data as a table's parameter in the FM. Table's parameters data type can only be structure's which are FLAT-LINED. So if I use STRNIG as the data type for receiving the data from JAVA the RFC doesnt allow me (As this makes the structure NON FLAT LINED which RFC will not allow as data type for tables parameter). So I have to use some other data type like CHAR or LCHR. But the maximum size for CHAR and LCHR is around 32 kilo bytes. I need a way to receive 64 kilo bytes of data into the Function Module as a tables parameter.
Thanks in advance
Sesh

Hi!
I think I was pretty near your problem. When talking about table fields, you could a 'parameter' -> field of your table parameter.
Which type? String is out of question, because here length is variable, but you need a constant length definition. I just have a look into help of data, built in ABAP-types. Here C and N can have a length from 1 to 65535 - OK, not 64 KB but only 1 byte missing...
... just made a small test, there is a second border (for non-unicode systems): the total length of the structure can't exceed 65535. If you need additional fields, define a second table parameter and place your additional fields in a second table. You can't define a link field (would need some space), so you have to go for a '1st line of data matches 1st line of attributes'-definition.
I'm still a little bit curious: what kind of data you are sending?
Regards,
Christian

Error while determining the form function module

Hi everyone,
We are experiencing problems while displaying one adobe form in ESS. Its the Travel Expense form (PTRV_EXPENSE_FORM). When pressing the button to Display/Print the form we get an error message: "Error while determining the form function module", and no form I shown. The ADS server is configured correctly and there are other forms that are actually working, for example the Travel Request form. We are running WAS 7.0 with SP12.
Anyone has an idea what can cause the problem? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

RFC function module without RETURN parameter thows error in XI. Please help

Hi Experts,
I have a File to RFC scenario in XI. The RFC function module that I am using at the receiving end does not have "RETURN" parameter. So when I test my scenario I get "RETURN" parameter not found error on SXMB_MONI.
So is it mandatory that RFC function module must have RETURN parameter when used in XI?
Is there any work around to avoid the error without changing the RFC function module?
Please help!
Thanks
Gopal

In my senario the QOS is best effort because it is a Sync.
But the function module is sync in nature as it is returning a parameter called SO_Docs and Ret_Msg. The Ret_Msg contains the error info but it not of BAPIRET2 type.
So is there any way to avoid this error when my QOS is best effort?
Please help!
