Difference between 'Selections from' and 'Search helps' in some HR program

Hi,
I notice at the top portions of some programs like Payroll Driver and pre-DME program there's two separate pushbuttons, 'Selections from' and 'Search helps'. What's the diff between the two?
Because to me, both seem to have same functionality, i.e. to further filter the records.
When I create customized programs, usually I use logical database pnp, and by that, we are adding 'Selections from' at the selection screen to help further select.
So my questions:
1. Why is there another button to help filter? Since both have same functionality to filter.
2. What's the diff between the 2?
3. Can somebody confirm the 'Search helps' is really for filtering?
Thank you.

Hi,
If this spool is being generated internal to your program, then sy-spono should have the value.

Difference between select-option and range

Hi,
wat are the difference between select-option and range
where u have to use those and give the syntax for the range option.
if u use range option in report programming there is any advantages ?
pls reply for this ..
thanks
rams

Hi,
Not much of a difference,
A Select-Option could be like,
SELECT-OPTIONS sel FOR f
And a Range could be like,
DATA: BEGIN OF sel OCCURS 10,
         SIGN(1),
         OPTION(2),
         LOW LIKE f,
         HIGH LIKE f,
      END   OF sel.
Here they both function the same. But then the Select-Options has numerous options associated with it than the RANGE option.
Hope it helps,
Pradip Parmar.

Selection-Screen and Search Help

Hi
I'm trying to show a Search Help (using trabstrip) from an internal table, but when I execute the code, search help is showed twice.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF SCREEN 100 AS SUBSCREEN.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK b1 WITH FRAME.
SELECT-OPTIONS:
            a0 FOR ZCTRL01-ZSTATUS,
            a1 FOR ZCTRL01-ZLOTE,
            a2 FOR ZCTRL01-BELNR.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK b1.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF SCREEN 100.
wa_estejec-zstatus = 'E'.
wa_estejec-zdescrp = 'Error'.
APPEND wa_estejec TO ti_estejec.
wa_estejec-zstatus = 'P'.
wa_estejec-zdescrp = ' Processed'.
APPEND wa_estejec TO ti_estejec.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN on value-request for A0-low. PERFORM search_help.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN on value-request for A0-high. PERFORM search_help.
*&      Selection-screen

          mytab-activetab = 'BUTTON1'.
          MESSAGE s888(sabapdocu) WITH text-010.
          sy_ucomm = 'PUSH1'.
          PERFORM inicializar.
     ENDCASE.

FORM SEARCH_HELP.
call function 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
    EXPORTING
      retfield    = 'ZSTATUS'
      dynprofield = 'A0'
      dynpprog    = sy-cprog
      dynpnr      = sy-dynnr
      value_org   = 'S'
    TABLES
      value_tab   = ti_estejec.
ENDCASE.
Thanks in advance.

Well, the code you posted won't pass a syntax check. You have an extra form statement, a missing endform statement and an extra endcase statement.
But have you put the assignments to ti_estejec in the INITIALIZATION event??

How to calculate Sales percentage difference between selected year and its previous year in a Matrix

Hi,
I'm trying to generate a report using matrix like this
Month
Product PreviousYearSalesAmount SelectedYearSalesAmount %SalesDifference
I can populate year sales amount, but i cant calculate the percentage.
Can Anyone help me please.
Note: Month and Year are passed as parameters.
Thank you.

Hi Abhiram,
As per my understanding you can show your fields in matrix.
Only problem is to create the additional column which will have the %SalesDifference value right?
If yes,
Just create one column as shown in below screen,
It will create one column, Name the header of this newly created column as %SalesDifference
In below this header , where you want to show the value for %SalesDifference as
=sum(iif(Fields!year.Value=Parameters!year.Value,(Fields!SalesAmount.Value),-Fields!SalesAmount.Value))/Fields!SalesAmount.Value
Set the property of the column in number as Percentage.
run the report, you will see as below screen.
For your reference I am attaching my RDL code, you can save as .rdl file and run the report (sample Data inside the report only)

Select Options and Search Help in ABAP Dynpro

Hi Guys,
I am new to ABAP WD. We are workin on ABAP Stack of the Portal with no DB Tables n data. we have to fetch the data from R/3 and display it on the Dynpro screen.
But here the problem is the Standard Search Help attached to the data elements cannot fetch any data, as by default it searchs the ABAP stack for the data. Is there any work around for the same wherein i can fetch the data from R/3 and display it when user requests for the search help.?
Please let me know.
Thanks and Regards,

Differences between old JavaFX and the new one: some questions

Hi,
I'm coming back to my JavaFX studies after 2/3 months and I see that some things are different.. Now, I have some questions:
1) I see that javafx.ui was deprecated or rewritten in favor of javafx.ext.swing. Why there are a javafx.application.Frame and a javafx.ext.swing.SwingFrame? Which one should I use?
2) Neither javafx.application.Frame or SwingFrame has the "*undecorated*" attribute that javafx.ui.Frame has. I got this feature only reimplementing createWindow() function like this:
function createWindow(): java.awt.Window {
       //this is a trick, because Frame don't has a undecorated attribute.
       var f: java.awt.Window = super.createWindow();
       (f as javax.swing.JFrame).setUndecorated(true);
       return f;
}Should I report this as a bug/RFE in [http://bugreport.sun.com/bugreport/] ? Where should I report bugs and RFEs to JavaFX?
3) Why frame's opacity don't work in Linux? Is this a Linux restriction or only a "not yet implemented" feature?
My java -version:
java version "1.6.0_10"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_10-b33)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0-b15, mixed mode)
4) Where is that cool feature that permits me to easily animate in JavaFX doing only x = [1..100] dur 1000? Now, I need to use this more advanced (and more complicated) Timeline object.
Timeline {
        keyFrames:Timeline [
                KeyFrame{time : 0s values: x => 0.0},
                KeyFrame{time : 2s values: x =< 180.0 tween Interpolator.LINEAR}
        ]//keyFrames
}//Timeline;Sorry for the amount of questions.
TIA,
Bruno E. Grossi

The new ones will be substantially faster than yours because it has 8-cores instead of four, a faster Frontside Bus, and faster RAM speed.
You could use the same RAM, but since the new ones can accommodate a faster RAM module you would cause the machine to run slower by using the slower RAM from your old machine.
You can use the same hard drives since both machines support SATA drives.
On the other hand you could just be happy with what you have! It's probably more than you need.

Matchcode objt and Search Help

Hi Experts
Can anybody please tell me the difference between Matchcode Object and Search Help??or they are same??
coz when we use matchcode objt with parameter stmt we assing search help to that parameter.
Right??
Plz correct me if i am wrong
Thanks in advance

HI
GOOD
CHECK THIS
Matchcodes were replaced with Search Helps starting with Release 4.0. Please use search helps to assign an input help to a field.
Existing matchcodes were automatically converted to search helps. A matchcode object is hereby converted to a collective search help with the same name. Each matchcode ID of the matchcode object is converted into an elementary search help with the same name and assigned to the collective search help created from the matchcode object.
A matchcode is a means of finding data records stored in the system. The matchcode is defined in the ABAP Dictionary in two steps:
You first define the relevant tables and fields for the search in a matchcode object. A matchcode object describes the set of all possible search paths for a search string.
You then create one or more matchcode IDs for a matchcode object. A matchcode ID describes a special search path for a search string. The matchcode ID defines the fields or field combinations to be used in the search.
Search Help
Use
With this function you can search for objects, thereby defining and linking different selection conditions for the search help.
Prerequisites
You can call this function by:
·        Selecting Object ® Search... () in the main menu bar of the Integration Builder
·        Placing the cursor on a software component version and selecting Search... () in the context menu (only in the Integration Repository)
In this case the software component version is defined as the search criteria.
Features
Defining the Object Type
You can select the object type in a dropdown list in field Object Type.
In the design (Integration Repository) you can
·        Select an object type (for example Message Interface)
·        Select a cross-object category (for example Interface Objects)
In the configuration (Integration Directory) you can select types Values Mapping Group and schema in addition to the individual object types.

Defference between select single and select upto 1 row?

What is the Defference between select single and select upto 1 row?

Hi,
Difference Between Select Single and Select UpTo One Rows
According to SAP Performance course the SELECT UP TO 1 ROWS is faster than SELECT SINGLE because you are not using all the primary key fields.
select single is a construct designed to read database records with primary key. In the absence of the primary key, it might end up doing a sequential search, whereas the select up to 1 rows may assume that there is no primary key supplied and will try to find most suitable index.
The best way to find out is through sql trace or runtime analysis.
Use "select up to 1 rows" only if you are sure that all the records returned will have the same value for the field(s) you are interested in. If not, you will be reading only the first record which matches the criteria, but may be the second or the third record has the value you are looking for.
The System test result showed that the variant Single * takes less time than Up to 1 rows as there is an additional level for COUNT STOP KEY for SELECT ENDSELECT UP TO 1 ROWS.
The 'SELECT SINGLE' statement selects the first row in the database that it finds that fulfils the 'WHERE' clause If this results in multiple records then only the first one will be returned and therefore may not be unique.
Mainly: to read data from
The 'SELECT .... UP TO 1 ROWS' statement is subtly different. The database selects all of the relevant records that are defined by the WHERE clause, applies any aggregate, ordering or grouping functions to them and then returns the first record of the result set.

Priya.

Hi Ashish,
Data Types:       Are pure descriptions.
               No memory is associated with data types.
               Describes the technical properties of data objects.
EX.
1.     C-CHARACTER
2.     D-DATE
3.     F-FLOAT
4.     I-INTEGER
5.     N-NUMERIC TEXT
6.     T-TIME
7.     P-PACKED NUMBER
8.     X-HEXADECIMAL
9.     STRING-Variable length string.
10.     XSTRING-Variable length byte string.
Data Objects: Are created during runtime.
                They cannot exist without the data Types.
                Occupies memory space.
EX:
1.     INTERNAL DATA OBJECT- Internal Data objects
     LITEERAL- A literal has a fixed value.Ex: WRITE:u201DWORK HARDu201D.
     VARIABLES: Data statement is used to create variables.
EX.DATA: NUM TYPE I.
NUM: VARIABLE defined by data statement.
EX: DATA: PRICE LIKE NUM.
     CONSTANT-It is a data object, which contains a constant value throughout the program.
Can be declared in program by using CONSTANT statement.
EX:CONSTANT: INT TYPE I VALUE 15.
2.     EXTERNAL DATA OBJECT: Are defined in tables i.e In ABAP/4 dictionary you can access this data from table.
         EX: TABLES: SFLIGHT
          DATA: SEATS LIKE SFLIGHT-SEATSMAX.
3.     SYSTEM DEFINED DATA OBJECTS:Space & system variables like SY-UNAME,SY-DATUM, SY-REPID.
4.     SPECIAL DATA OBJECTS:
     PARAMETERS: Are Variables ,which can accept value from user.
      SELECTION SCREEN : Are special internal tables to accept value ranges from user.
3 APPROACHES TO DEFINE DATA OBJECTS.
1.     ELEMENTARY TYPES
DATA: Customer _Name (25) TYPE C,
               Vendor_Name (25) TYPE C.
2.     REFRENCE TO AN EXISTING FIELD:
DATA: Customer _Name2 (25) TYPE C,
              Vendor_Name2 (25) LIKE Customer_Name2
3.     REFRENCE TO NON-ELEMENTARY TYPE:
TYPES: T_NAME (25) TYPE C
DATA: CUSTOMER_NAME TYPE T_NAME
               VENDOR_NAME TYPE T_NAME
4.     RECORD-Information in rows & columns.
DATA: BEGIN OF BOOKING,
                                ID (4) TYPE C,
                                FLIGHT_DATE TYPE D,
                                NAME LIKE CUSTOMER_NAME,
                                END OF BOOKING.

Diff between select single and select upto 1 rows.

Hello aLL,
PL tell what is technical diff between select single and select upto 1 rows and how it is affecting the performance.
Rushikesh

Hi
Knowing when to use SELECT SINGLE or SELECT ... UP TO 1 ROWS
A lot of people use the SELECT SINGLE statement to check for the existence of a value in a database. Other people prefer to use the 'UP TO 1 ROWS' variant of the SELECT statement.
So what's the difference between using 'SELECT SINGLE' statement as against a 'SELECT .... UP TO 1 ROWS' statement ?
If you're considering the statements
SELECT SINGLE field INTO w_field FROM table.
and
SELECT field INTO w_field FROM table UP TO 1 ROWS. ENDSELECT.
then looking at the result, not much apart from the extra ENDSELECT statement. Look at the run time and memory usage and they may be worlds apart.
Why is this ?? The answer is simple.
The 'SELECT SINGLE' statement selects the first row in the database that it finds that fulfils the 'WHERE' clause If this results in multiple records then only the first one will be returned and therefore may not be unique.
The 'SELECT .... UP TO 1 ROWS' statement is subtly different. The database selects all of the relevant records that are defined by the WHERE clause, applies any aggregate, ordering or grouping functions to them and then returns the first record of the result set.
Get the difference ??
If not, here is a good example, credit for this example goes to Richard Harper, a friend of mine on sapfans.com :
Create a Ztable called ZDifference with 2 fields in it, MANDT of type MANDT and POSNR of type POSNR. Make sure both of these are keys. Also create a table maintenance dialog for it (SE11->Utilities->Table Maintenance Generator). Fill the table with ten rows 000001-000010.
Then run the program shown below:
Code:
Program: Z_Difference
Purpose: A program that demonstrates the difference
between SELECT SINGLE and SELECT UP TO n ROWS.
This program requires the data table Z_DIFFERENCE
to have been created according to the structure
outlined in the text above and populated with
at least 10 records.
Creation Date: 21/04/2004
Requested By:
Reference Doc:
Author: R Harper
Modification History:
Date Reason Transport Who
Report Z_Difference
Message-id 38
Line-Size 80
Line-Count 0
No Standard Page Heading.
Start-Of-Selection.
Data: w_Single type Posnr,
t_Rows type standard table of Posnr
initial size 0
with header line.
Select single Posnr
from zDifference
into w_Single.
Select Posnr
into table t_Rows
from zDifference
up to 1 rows
order by Posnr descending.
Write :/ 'Select single:', w_Single.
Skip 1.
Write :/ 'Up to 1 rows :'.
Loop at t_Rows.
Write t_Rows.
EndLoop.
You should see the output:
Select single: 000001
Up to 1 rows : 000010
The first 'SELECT' statement selected the first record in the database according to any selection criterion in the 'WHERE' clause. This is what a 'SELECT SINGLE' does. The second 'SELECT' has asked the database to reverse the order of the records before returning the first row of the result.
In order to be able to do this the database has read the entire table, sort it and then return the first record. If there was no ORDER BY clause then the results would have been identical (ie both '000001') but the second select if given a big enough table to look at would be far slower.
Note that this causes a problem in the Extended Program Check if the full key is not specified in a 'SELECT SINGLE'. Replacing the 'SELECT SINGLE' by an "UP TO 1 ROWS" will give the same exact results without any warning but the program will run slower and consume more memory. This is a good example of a warning that we should ignore... considering you are sure of what you are doing !!

Difference between case management and complaint management

Hi ,
Can any one explain the difference between case management and complaint management with some simple example .
Regards,
Rahul

Hi
complaint mngt is for creating, maintaing, processing of complaint documents - when customer calls you and tells about problem with product he bought, you create complaint document in CRM.
case mngt is for managing more documents , it could be documents for many customers. Case is usually about complex problem.

Difference between custom controller and component controller

Hi All,
I am a beginner in CRM SAP .
Please can anyone tell me whats the difference between custom controller and component controller with some scenario.
I am totally baffled.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Shilpi

Hi Shilpi,
The main difference between custom and component controller is the role which they play during data transfer.
a) Custom controller is used for data transfer across two views within a component. For that you need to bind view context nodes to custom controller either through wizard or manually by adding the code in CTXT class create_contextnode method:
initial setting for depandant model node
    coll_wrapper =
      BTADMINH->get_collection_wrapper( ).
    TRY.
        entity ?= coll_wrapper->get_current( ).
      CATCH cx_sy_move_cast_error.
    ENDTRY.
    IF entity IS BOUND.
      BTOpportH->on_new_focus(
                   focus_bo = entity ).
    ENDIF.
b)Component controller is used for data transfer across two views in two different components. For this, we need to define the component usage first and then bind the context nodes in the method-WD_USAGE_INITIALIZE of the Component Controller impl class.
    WHEN 'ComponentUsageName'.
      iv_usage->bind_context_node(
                  iv_controller_type = cl_bsp_wd_controller=>co_type_custom
                  iv_target_node_name = 'ContextNodeName' "#EC NOTEXT
                  iv_node_2_bind      = 'ContextNodeName' ). "#EC NOTEXT
Hope this clears some of your doubts!
Thanks and Regards,
Rohit
P.S-This is valid for CRM 2007.Raghu is also right because Interaction Center is made up of different different components combined together.You have put your question in wrong forum.

Difference between native client and workstation client.

hi,
I am confused with the difference between native client and workstation client.In
some docs,it is said that native client is one which run on the same system as
the server,in other it is said running on other machine in the same domain.So
what about workstation client?So can anyone please helpme out in knowing this
difference?

what about workstation client?So can anyone please helpme out in knowing this
difference?The simple answer is that /WS clients are compiled with the -w option.
The complicated answer has to do with how the client connects to Tuxedo during the
tpinit(), and all subsequent traffic. A Tuxedo Domain (instance) has a Bulletin
Board, which is a chunk of shared memory with all kinds of information about Servers
and Clients. A Native Client, since it is running on the same machine that the
Bulletin Board exists on, can directly access the shared memory. However, /WS client
(also called a remote client) cannot access this shared memory. Instead, we have the
WSL server to make connections with, and then WSH processes that access the Bulletin
Board on behalf of the remote client.
So Native Clients run on the same machine as the Servers and where the Bulletin Board
is located, and have direct access to shared memory and other IPCs. Workstation
Clients/WS Client/Remote Clients (all the same thing) cannot access IPCs and have the
WSH do it on their behalf.
In NT, the Tuxedo IPC Service mimics Unix IPCs, and so all the above is still true.

Hi, difference between database view and elementary search help

hi
pl. can any one tell me the difference between
database view and elementary search help,

and database view and help view.
in the output i do not see any difference.
thanx.

HI
An entire table can be included in a database view. In this case all the fields of the included table will become fields of the view (whereby you can explicitly exclude certain fields). If new fields are included in the table or existing fields are deleted, the view is automatically adjusted to this change.
Database view:

Help view:
Help views are used if a view with an outer join is needed as selection method in a search help.
