  • The difference between FIELD-SYMBOL and normal DATA TYPE

    Dear experts,
    Please see the example below, both are output the same result.
    DATA: EXTERNAL_RECORD(4000),
          POSITION TYPE I,
          LENGTH TYPE N,
          ENTRY TYPE STRING.
    EXTERNAL_RECORD = '0005Smith0007Edwards0005Young'.
    DO.
      LENGTH = EXTERNAL_RECORD+POSITION(4).
      IF LENGTH = 0.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
      ADD 4 TO POSITION.
      MOVE EXTERNAL_RECORD+POSITION(LENGTH) TO ENTRY.
      WRITE ENTRY.
      ADD LENGTH TO POSITION.
      IF POSITION >= 4000.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
    ENDDO.
    --OR It can be written as--
    DATA: EXTERNAL_RECORD(4000),
          POSITION TYPE I,
          LENGTH TYPE N.
    FIELD-SYMBOLS <ENTRY>.
    EXTERNAL_RECORD = '0005Smith0007Edwards0005Young'.
    DO.
      LENGTH = EXTERNAL_RECORD+POSITION(4).
      IF LENGTH = 0.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
      ADD 4 TO POSITION.
      ASSIGN EXTERNAL_RECORD+POSITION(LENGTH) TO <ENTRY>.
      WRITE <ENTRY>.
      ADD LENGTH TO POSITION.
      IF POSITION >= 4000.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
    ENDDO.
    Is there any special circumstances we need to use FIELD-SYMBOL?
    Why is FIELD-SYMBOL is introduce in the first place?
    Kindly advice with example.
    Thanks in advance for those who can help me on this.

    HI,
    You can use field symbols to make the program more dynamic. In this example the name of a table control is substituted by a field symbol. Thus you cal call the form with any internal table, using the name of the table control as a parameter.
    Example
    form insert_row
    using p_tc_name.
    field-symbols <tc> type cxtab_control. "Table control
    assign (p_tc_name) to <tc>.
    insert 100 lines in table control
    <tc>-lines = 100.
    Field symbols allow you to:
    **     Assign an alias to a data object(for example, a shortened
            name for data objects structured through several hierarchies
            - <fs>-f instead of rec1-rec2-rec3-f)
    **     Set the offset and length for a string variably at runtime
    **     Set a pointer to a data object that you determine at runtime (dynamic ASSIGN)
    **     Adopt or change the type of a field dynamically at runtime
    **     Access components of a structure
    **     (from Release 4.5A) Point to lines of an internal table
            (process internal tables without a separate work area)
    Field symbols in ABAP are similar to pointers in other programming
    languages. However, pointers (as used in PASCAL or C) differ from ABAP
    field symbols in their reference syntax.
    The statement ASSIGN f to <fs> assigns the field f to field
    symbol <fs>. The field symbol <fs> then "points" to the
    contents of field f at runtime. This means that all changes to the
    contents of f are visible in <fs> and vice versa. You declare
    the field symbol <fs> using the statement FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs>.
    Reference syntax
    Programming languages such as PASCAL and C use a dereferencing symbol
    to indicate the difference between a reference and the object to which
    it refers; so PASCAL would use p^ for a pointer instead of p, C would
    use *p instead of p. ABAP does not have any such dereferencing symbol.
    **     In PASCAL or C, if you assign a pointer p1 to a pointer p2,
    you force p1 to point to the object to which p2 refers (reference semantics).
    **     In ABAP, if you assign a field symbol <fs1> to a field
    symbol <fs2>, <fs1> takes the value of the data object to
    which <fs2> refers (value semantics).
    **     Field symbols in ABAP are always dereferenced, that is,
    they always access the referenced data object. If you want to
    change the reference yourself in ABAP, you can use the ASSIGN statement
    to assign field symbol <fs1> to field symbol <fs2>.
    Using field symbols
    You declare field symbols using the FIELD-SYMBOLS statement.
    They may be declared either with or without a specific type.
    At runtime you assign a field to the field symbol using the ASSIGN
    statement. All of the operations on the field symbol act on the field
    assigned to it.
    When you assign a field to an untyped field symbol, the field symbol
    adopts the type of the field. If, on the other hand, you want to assign
    a field to a typed field symbol, the type of the field and that of the
    field symbol must be compatible.
    A field symbol can point to any data object and from Release 4.5A,
    they can also point to lines of internal tables.
    The brackets (<>) are part of the syntax.
    Use the expression <fs> IS ASSIGNED to find out whether the field
    symbol <fs> is assigned to a field.
    The statement UNASSIGN <fs> sets the field symbol <fs> so
    that it points to nothing. The logical expression <fs>
    IS ASSIGNED is then false. The corresponding negative expression
    is IF NOT <fs> IS ASSIGNED.
    An unassigned field symbol <fs> behaves as a constant with
    type C(1) and initial value SPACE.
    MOVE <fs>
    TO dest     Transfers the initial value SPACE to the variable dest
    MOVE 'A' to <fs>     
    Not possible, since <fs> is a constant
    (runtime error).
    To lift a type restriction, use the CASTING addition in the
    ASSIGN statement. The data object is then interpreted as though
    it had the data type of the field symbol. You can also do this
    with untyped field symbols using the CASTING TYPE <type> addition.
    The danger with pointers is that they may point to invalid areas.
    This danger is not so acute in ABAP, because the language does not
    use address arithmetic (for example, in other languages, pointer p
    might point to address 1024. After the statement p = p + 10, it would
    point to the address 1034). However, the danger does still exist, and
    memory protection violations lead to runtime errors.
    A pointer in ABAP may not point beyond a segment boundary. ABAP does
    not have one large address space, but rather a set of segments.
    Each of the following has its own segment:
    *     All global data
    *     All local data
    *     Each table work area (TABLES)
    *     Each COMMON PART
    You should only let field symbols move within an elementary field or
    structure where ABAP allows you to assign both within the global data
    and beyond a field boundary.

  • Difference between Actual Cost and Allocable costs in splitting KSS2

    I have Cost splitting structure results with me(KSS2)
    What is the difference between Actual Costs, Control Costs, Allocable Actual, Actual cost balance and which amount will system consider for calculating the rate with dividing the activity rates.

    Hi,
    In Splitting Structure KSS2 There are two Costs One is Target Cost (Planned) and Control Cost (Actual Cost)
    In Variance Calculation U will See Target Cost (Planned), Actual Cost, Allocated Actual Costs.
    Target Cost = Planned Cost
    Control Cost = Actual Cost
    Actual Cost = Actual Cost
    Allocated Actual Cost = Actual Cost of the Output Qty. This is Actual Credits from Activity allocation. This is Actual Credits from delivery of Stock.
    Hope you are Clear.

  • What are the differences between the old and new data flow technology?

    I have seen many places mentioned the new data flow tech ( In BI7) are much different from the old one,, can anyone list a few differences?
    Thanks

    Hi Dylan,
        An infosource can be used in the 7 flow model, but its purpose is completely different from the 3.x model.
    In the 3.x model, the infosource consisted of 2 structures  transfer and communication.
    The transfer structure was where you specified which field in the datasource corresponds to which infoobject ie the field type.
    You now do this in the datasource maintainence in 7.0 (the tabs called proposals and fields)
    The communication structure was the structure which was available for uploading.
    You can refer the link for the 3.x flow
    [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/90/64553c845ba02de10000000a114084/content.htm]
    In the 7.0 flow, you generally use a  DSO when you perform sequential transformations ie you want to change the data format or do some processing twice before you actually load to the final infoprovider.
    The sequence in this case would be
    Datasource -> transformation1 -> DSO -> Transformation 2-> DSO -> Transformation 3-> Cube
    The disadvantage of doing this, is that the DSO will store data.  To avoid this, you can use an infosource instead of a DSO.
    You can refer the below link for using 7.0 infosources
    [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/7e/001342743eda2ce10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm]

  • Difference between Word basic and DIADEM script

    I'm trying to program some things in Word via a DIAdem script. One thing I want to do is move to the end of the document. When I turn on the macro editor in Word and press End to move to the end of the document, the Word basic editor comes up with this
    Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdStory
    If I enter the above in my DIAdem script (adding Word. in front of it) DIAdem of course doesn't like the "Unit:=wdStory" part. When I execute
    Word.Selection.EndKey
    it only goes to the end of the line.
    There are some other commands I want to do that also have qualifiers like this. How do you tell DIAdem script about the qualifier?
    George

    George,
    Word (and Excel, Powerpoint) come with a large number of constants like the one you used. When you want to use more of them, I recommend to include the type library which comes with those products. DIAdem makes this very easy : Go to the menu in SCRIPT : "Script"=>"type library overview". From the dialog you select the product your are interested in e.g. "Microsoft Word 11.0 Object Library".
    Then click the button "Clipboard". This generates a little code snipped. Goto to your script and insert from clipboard (ctrl+v). What you will see is something like this :
    ' Microsoft Word 11.0 Object Library
    ' D:\Programme\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\MSWORD.OLB
    Call AutEdTypeLibAdd("00020905-0000-0000-C000-000000000046", "8.3")
    If you now add a line like "MsgBox("wdStory : "&wdStory)" you will teh result you expecct.

  • FrameMaker10: Cause of difference between actual display and element setting

    Hello, everyone
    In using FM10 in Windows7, I've experienced the problems below.
    1) A black square(■) is displayed while an ASTARISK element is set in the structure view. ("*1" is displayed on another computer )
    2) Different BODY elements are used but no return is inserted between the sentences.
    Acutually, I already know the solution to the problems: import an element definition to the file.
    If you know the (possible) "cause" of the problem, please let me know.
    [Message moved to FM Structured Forum by moderator]

    I'm starting to grasp, where your problem might come from.
    You're saying, that when you create a new document and use those elements you mentioned, you are getting those weird results?
    And, after you import the element definitions, everything is as it should be again?
    Then all you need to do, is to get your system administrator or whoever is responsible for your FM setup to update the standard templates you are using to include the latest element definition file (EDD), as it seems you are using an outdated or incorrect version of it.
    The issue, that you are receiving a square bullet instead of "*1" means, that the ASTERISK element is mapped to some other text brick (the square bullet) than in the current version of your EDD (which is embedded in your template file).
    The BODY element seems to be mapped to a character style instead of a paragraph style in this outdated version - meaning you will have no line breaks, as it is treated as an inline element.
    So, in short terms: get in contact with the guy that did set up your structure definitions/ templates. He should be able to fix your problems in no time.
    If the guy isn't in the company anymore or if those structures were created by some 3rd party company, you are going to need to do some more research on how to change templates and their respective element definitions.
    It is most important for your work, that at least one person in your company has the knowledge how to fiddle with those things, or you might be facing more serious issues in the future.
    On a side note: binary FM files are the ones using *.fm as an extension. Those files include everything the document consists of: your document, the template, the element definitions and everything else.
    As a counterpart, XML files only contain your document and the structure markup. Templates, element definitions and almost everything else is applied to those files upon import in Framemaker, or excluded upon export.

  • Difference Between Current Day and fist day of the payroll period

    Hi,
    How do i find the difference between the current day and the first day of the payroll period with period parameter XX.
    Operation VARSTFDYXX is used to decide if the current day is the first day of the payroll period. But is there any operation available to check the difference in exact number of days.
    I know hrs=y is used to find difference between current day and a date specification record from IT0041, but i need to check difference between current day and first day from a payroll period parameter.
    Any response is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Imaneul Rajiv

    No! haven't seen it at all! Do I have to drain the battery completely and then charge it? I did that the first day I bought the phone and yet the stats are the same for me
    PS: I am referring to the Call Time stats and not the Usage/Standby stats

  • Difference between Standard cost and standard price

    Hi:
          I have gone through google but i could not find any answer to the question clicking my mind. When we talk about standard cost and standard price..Should they be taken synonymously? Are these two same concepts... If there is any difference between two please do let me know..Similarly is there any difference between Actual cost and actual price. Please guide
    Br

    For Finished Goods,  Cost is nothing but your manufacturing or procurement cost.
    Where as Price is nothing but your sales price of the same Finished Goods.
    Simply when you buy, it is cost and when you sell it is price.
    Price includes cost + Profit or loss.
    But from SAP point of view Standard Price field in Material master is Standard Cost.
    Standard cost will be arrived when we manufacture or procure
    Sale price will be entered in Sale order as condition value.

  • Any basic differences between AT&T and Verizon, & other questions

    I am thinking of buying an iPad mini with retina display (32gb). This would most likely be the only iPad I would ever own. I would use it mostly at the house with wifi, but would like to have one with cellular for when we travel in the US and Canada, and for when the electricity goes out. We currently live in a location where both AT&T and Verizon are viable options, but sometime in the next year we hope to move. The state is rural and mountainous, so as we drive around, my spouse's iPhone (with an AT&T plan) often loses service, but so does my Jitterbug phone, which is not tied to any one carrier (as far as I know). A phone can get a signal in one locaton, but then lose it a few feet down the road. So, there is no way I can choose between AT&T or Verizon based on coverage because both are options right now and there is no way to predict which one(s), if any, might provide service to wherever we end up moving to. Therefore, I'm wondering if there are any basic differences between AT&T and Verizon (or any other of the possible carriers) in what they offer or how they work or what they charge and so on that can help me decide which one to choose since it is my understanding that once I pick one of them for an iPad, that decision can never be changed without purchasing a new device. (e.g., I had read somewhere that Verizon does not allow for voice and data at the same time, but since an iPad is not a phone, is that even an issue?) Also, will the iPad work if there is only regular 4G or 3G service? And will a cellular iPad work without signing up for a data plan since I expect to start with only wifi and then add a data plan later? Thank you.

    Alfred DeRose, Thank you for answering the second and third questions. Judging by what you wrote, I am assuming there are no differences between what AT&T and Verizon offer that affects iPads, other than looking at coverage area and the cost of "pay as you go" plans. And, as noted, coverage is not something I can base a decision on at this time. So, I either flip a coin to choose between AT&T and Verizon and hope the result is the right one after we move to wherever we end up finding a place to live, or I continue to wait for another year or more until we actually find a new house before I buy an iPad (or maybe a Kindle Fire HDX 8.9"to save money, but I think I've probably settled on an iPad mini retina 7.9" despite its smaller screen). That does not move me along the decision-making process at all, but it is what it is.
    Greatcall has not answered my question about what carrier(s) the Jitterbug Plus phone uses. If, in fact, it uses just the Verizon network, I will try to pay better attention to any possible differences in service areas between that phone and my spouse's iPhone as we travel around the state to see if that helps at all. But coverage is so location specific here that I don't think it will.

  • What is the basic difference between Hyperion Planning and HFM

    Hi GURU'S,
    what is the basic difference between Hyperion Planning and HFM and when do we choose them.

    On a high level the difference is this:
    1. HFM is best for global collection (collecting data from scattered entities), group consolidation and for easily structuring financial reporting (mainly consisting of financial data)
    2. Planning is best for modeling your business, starting from a demand forecast and arriving to capacity planning and finally to financial statements, by utilizing business drivers (non-financial data like volumes, prices, productivity rates etc)
    Of course, differences may be analyzed at several levels down to technical, but the discussion may turn out to be too long, yet adding little value to the question: "when do we choose the one over the other". Bear in mind that your requirements may turn out that you need both.

  • Difference between relational integrity and data intigrity

    hi
    could anybody tell me
    what is the difference between
    relational integrity and data intigrity
    tahnx
    kals.

    hi,
    Data Integrity
    Data integrity means, in part, that you can correctly and consistently navigate and manipulate the tables in the database. There are two basic rules to ensure data integrity; entity integrity and referential integrity.
    The entity integrity rule states that the value of the primary key can never be a null value (a null value is one that has no value and is not the same as a blank). Because a primary key is used to identify a unique row in a relational table, its value must always be specified and should never be unknown. The integrity rule requires that insert, update, and delete operations maintain the uniqueness and existence of all primary keys.
    The referential integrity rule states that if a relational table has a foreign key, then every value of the foreign key must either be null or match the values in the relational table in which that foreign key is a primary key.
    What is a Relational Integrity?
    A relational database contains tables of data which are related to each other. For example, articles are related to the author who wrote them, and conversely, authors are related to the articles they wrote. (Sounds obvious, and it is.) That's the relational part.
    When we work with a relational database, we naturally expect that data in related tables stay related. For example, articles written by MartinB should always be related to MartinB and never be confused with articles written by any other author. That's the integrity part.
    Relational Integrity is also called Referential Integrity, perhaps because the mechanism for ensuring integrity is implemented by the way the tables reference each other. Both terms are okay with me. I usually just say RI anyway.
    Regards,
    Sourabh
