ABAP Programming Guidelines not showing in ABAP Keyword Documentation

We are currently in the process of upgrading to Netweaver 7.0 EhP2
I have seen mentioned that the ABAP Keyword Documentation and ABAP Examples are now all provided in an improved ABAPDOCU transaction. In addition, the ABAPDOCU transaction is meant to also have a section on ABAP Programming Guidelines.
I have seen a screen example of what the ABAPDOCU screen now looks like (as shown in the mockup below). Our ABAPDOCU screen looks very similar except that there is no node for ABAP Programming Guidelines.
That is an area that I would like to have a closer look at. Have we missed something. Is this available as part of the standard 7.0 EhP2 install or does it need to be installed separately (or perhaps is this only available in a higher EhP). I've tried finding further information on this option but have not been able to come across anything. Does anyone know what would be involved (or if it is possible) to make this available in EhP2

Hi Greg,
When [searching|http://help.sap.com/search/sap_trex.jsp] the [documentation for NW 7.0.2|http://help.sap.com/nw702/] for ABAP keyword there are several documents that mention how you can find more details about ABAP keywords. For example, [Data Consistency|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp2/helpdata/en/41/7af4b6a79e11d1950f0000e82de14a/frameset.htm] mentions a menu in the ABAP Editor, and [New Features in Web Dynpro ABAP for Enhancement Package 2 (EhP2)|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp2/helpdata/en/54/07ec96bd5a4764be4996fff231b4de/frameset.htm] mentions the ABAPHELP transaction.
I suppose you could try to find if the documentation you need is installed on your system. Perhaps the [how do I Install SAP Document CD and SAP Library|how do I Install SAP Document CD and SAP Library; thread might be of help.

Update Routine ABAP question

Hi,
I am updating data between two ODS objects using some update routines. I would like to write the following routine (in pseudo code):
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Check if the characteristic i am updating is not null
IF COMM_STRUCTURE-field1 = 'value1' AND
COMM_STRUCTURE-field2 = 'value2'.
RESULT COMM_STRUCTURE-field3.
ELSE.
Don't update anything
END IF
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
My questions:
1. How i tell the routine not to update anything (as specified in the pseudo code)?
2. How i can check that the characteristic i woul like to update is not null?
3. What is the preferred debug method in case i do not use the PSA?
BR,
Xibi

Thanks Siggi for your prompt and helpful answer. There are however some fundamental things which are not fully clear to me (BTW, where i can find some good documentation on ABAP for BW??):
> Hi,

I wrote the following:
returncode = 1.
Consequently the updated failed. Maybe i am doing something wrong but my intention is not to have the whole thing fail, but rather skip the update for some records.
> 2. How i can check that the characteristic i woul

The problem is that the characteristic i am trying to update is not contained in the source ODS but only in the target one. Will "if not comm_structure-<fieldname> is initial" still work in this case?

New in ABAP

Hello Everybody
what is the difference between pack and floating point datatypes, i ABAP Objects book, there is mentioned that if you are concious about accuracy then use pack datatype, otherwise use floating point. i write a program
data p1 type p.
p = 3 / 4.
write p. the result of this statement is 0,75
data f1 type f.
f1 = 3 / 4.
write f1 and the result of this is statement is 7,5000000E
so when we use pack number and what floating point give me example in detail and clear
Thanks
Rai

Hi,
This is taken from ABAP Help Documentation.
ABAP contains a range of built-in elementary data types: Character (text), Numerical character (number string), Date, Time Integer, Floating point number, Packed number, and HeX code). Some of these data types are fully types (D, T, I, F), others (C, N, P, X) are generic, in the sense that you must provide further type information (length, for type p also the number of decimal places) when you create the data object .
The value range of type P fields depends on their length and the number of decimal places. P fields can be 1 to 16 bytes long, with two decimal digits packed into each byte, and one decimal digit and the sign packed into the last byte. There can be up to 14 decimal places. Auxiliary fields for intermediate results are always 16 bytes long and can thus hold up to 31 decimal digits. To ensure that the decimal point is correctly calculated, you should always set the program attribute "fixed point arithmetic". Otherwise, all numbers are specified as integers and all intermediate results for the next integer are rounded. If "fixed point arithmetic" is not set, the decimal places defined for the number only appear when outputting with WRITE.
Fixed point arithmetic is decimal arithmetic and is similar to using a pocket calculator or calculating with paper and pencil.
Type P is typically used for sizes, lengths, weights and sums of money.
Rule: If you want to calculate "down to the last penny", you should use the type P.
Type F values range from /- 2.2250738585072014E-308 to 1.7976931348623157E308, as well as the number 0, with an accuracy of at least 15 decimal places.
You cannot enter floating point numbers directly in your programs. Instead, you must use text literals that can be interpreted as floating point numbers. You may use the following formats:
Decimal numbers with or without sign, with or without decimal point. The form <mantissa> E<exponent>, where the mantissa is a decimal. The exponent may be specified either with or without sign. You may also use spaces before or after the number. Examples of text literals with "floating point numbers":
'1', '-12.34567', '-765E-04', '1234E5', '12E34', '+12.3E-4', '1E160'.
Use floating point arithmetic if you need a very large value range or you are making decimal calculations, but be aware of the following features of floating point arithmetic.
Internally, the exponent and the mantissa of floating point numbers are stored separately, each in two parts. This can lead to unexpected results, despite the high degree of intrinsic accuracy. These occur mainly when performing conversions from and to type F.
For example, the number 1.5 can be represented exactly in this notation, since 1.5 = 120 + 12**(-1), but the number 0.15 can only be represented approximately by the number 0,14999999999999999. If you round 0.15 up to 1 valid digit, the result is 0.1 rather than 0.2 as you would expect. On the other hand, the number 1.5E-12 is represented by the number 1.5000000000000001E-12, which would be rounded to 2E-12.
Another example which actually occurred is the calculation of 7.27% of 73050 to an accuracy of 2 decimal places. The intermediate result 5.3107349999999997E+03, since the correct result, 5310.735, cannot be represented exactly in two parts with 53 bits. (If the hardware cannot represent a real number exactly, it uses the next representable floating point number. After rounding, you therefore get 5310.73 rather than 5310.74 as you would expect.
The ABAP runtime system calculates commercially and not "numerically" like the underlying machine arithmetic. According to the rounding algorithm of the latter, the end digit 5 must always be rounded to the nearest even number (not the next largest number), i.e. from 2.5 to 2, 3.5 to 4.
You should also note that multiplication using powers of 10 (positive or negative), is not an exact operation. For example, although 100.5 can be represented exactly in two parts, after the operation
F = F / 100 * 100
F has the value 100.49999999999999.
As well as rounding errors, the restricted number of decimal places for the mantissa can lead to the loss of trailing digits. For example, 1 - 1.0000000000000001 results in zero.
This means that you cannot rely on the last digits in floating point arithmetic. In particular, you should not usually test two floating point numbers for equality; instead, you should check whether the relative difference abs((a - b)/a) is less than a predefined limit, e.g. 10**(-7).

Place symbols in ABAP Program Documenatation

Hi All,
I am preparing the documentation for ABAP Program.
From Main menu GOTO-->Dcouemnataion.
I want to place the symbol 'Empty circle'.
I am creating using Insert-->SAp symbols.But for evry symbol it is showing Square box.
What would be the pblm.How can i place empty circle in the documenatation.
Thanks,

i have solved my self the pblm.For you information that SYM_CIRCLE is not working it is taking the symbol as Square box.

F1 documentation is not visible

Experts,
Still last week it was internet explorer 6. My F1 documentation of ABAP key words in SE38 used to work properly.
Now I am using Internet explorer 7 on my laptop. When I press F1, only the keywords on the ABAP keyword documentation are visible. The documentation is not visible on the right. It is blank.
Pls. tell me how to solve this.
Thanks in advance for your input.

How to Maintain documentation (se38) using standard text (SO10)

Hi,
I have created standard text using SO10. Now I want to include the standard text in documentation (SE38) section of my ABAP program.
I tried using /: INCLUDE 'YTEST' OBJECT TEXT ID ST LANGUAGE EN
But the standard text is not showing up when I click the documentation icon in the selection screen.
Can you please let me know how to maintain documentation for ABAP programs using Standard Texts.
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Vidya

Hi Mahesh,
In SO10, which format key has been used (AS, /*, /:, *.... to show up in documentation). when you used insert->text-> did you use 'expand immediately' check box. If expand immediately option is used, it won't serve our purpose.
=
(space)
Example
SO10 Yeurope_terms
Inside Yeurope_terms
Terms: For Europe
/* No Tax for Italy
Waiting for your reply.
Sincerely,
Vidya

ABAP in Process Chains

I am trying to run an ABAP from a process chain and need some of the information from the process chain itself. The documentation on ABAPs in process chains includes the following:
Using the Program variant you can transfer the Process variant to the program at the time of scheduling. Input the Process variant as a value for the Program variant and add the following lines to your program:
PARAMETERS variant TYPE rspc_variant.
The system exports the technical name of the latest process chain, as well as the dynamic parameter Instance and Log ID in the shared buffer.To receive this parameter, add the following lines to your program:
DATA: l_instance TYPE rspc_instance,
      l_logid    TYPE rspc_logid,
      l_chainid TYPE rspc_chain.
IMPORT instance TO l_instance
       log_id   TO l_logid
       chain_id TO l_chainid
       FROM DATABASE BUFFER rspc_buffer(ab)
       ID variant.
Can anyone explain how to "Using the Program variant you can transfer the Process variant to the program at the time of scheduling. Input the Process variant as a value for the Program variant"
Thanks very much,

Hi,
We have a similar requirement where we want to pass the values of a program into an ABAP program being used in a process chain. For e.g the Program 1 has values entered by the user and we want to make use of those values in Program 2.Program 2 is used in the process chain. Program 1 triggers a process chain. We wanted to make use of following program and we got a syntax error for the "DATABASE BUFFER" statement.
PARAMETERS variant TYPE rspc_variant.
DATA: l_instance TYPE rspc_instance,
l_logid TYPE rspc_logid,
l_chainid TYPE rspc_chain.
IMPORT instance TO l_instance
log_id TO l_logid
chain_id TO l_chainid
FROM DATABASE BUFFER rspc_buffer(ab)
ID variant.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
