Doubts about some popular function modules?

Hi all,
I have doubts about these function modules (see in parenthesis)
ws_filename_get (to get the file name at ...?)
ws_query (to get file size and environment variables from the presentation server to the ...?)
upload and download (what are the new function modules used in place of these (I know they are obsolete now)
what is the Object oriented equivalents of these functions?
Thanks.
Charles.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

(1)What is the use of ws_filename_get? Please be specific in your answer, about where the file resides: application server, presentation server or the ABAP program.
It is simply providing an interface for the user to choose a filename which resides on the frontend PC(presentation server). As suggested already, this has been replaced with FILE_OPEN_DIALOG method of the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.
2)What is the use of ws_query? Please be specific in your answer, about where the file resides: application server, presentation server or the ABAP program.
Again, already answered, this has been replace by multiple more specific methods of the same class mentioned above.
How can GUI_UPLOAD be a substitute of Upload? It is a substitute of WS_UPLOAD as upload is used to transfer data from presentation server to the ABAP program, whereas the other two are used to get it from presentation server to the application server.
They all transafer data from the presentation to your application. They are all interchangable(in a sense), but you should be using the GUI_UPLOAD method of the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.

Question about exceptions in function module GUI_DOWNLOAD

To all,
I add the function module 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' in the ABAP report program. After the user download the data to excel, the program also displays a report on the screen for print output.
If the user keep the excel file open and tries to replace the file on download, the program gives an error message 'Access to file denied' and the program ends without displaying a report on the screen.
Is there any way not to end the program even if download is failed?
I would like the program displays a report after it gives an error message.
So I am trying to use exceptions. But if I code to give messages, the programs ends as above. And if I just make exit when it happens, no error message and the program displays a report but the user don't know if the excel file was updated or not.
Could anybody kindly let me know how to code exceptions and messages if it is possible the program works I hope.
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards,
Miki Komatsu

　I figured out how to do that.
Thanks.

I want to know about the POPUP_SHOW_INTTAB function module.

what are all the parameters that needs to be passed.

Hi there,
I've played around with this FM recently and tested it in a demo program. It is a bit complex to display the data of an internal table this way. You have many options to design your output. Perhaps you will get a better insight on the parameters by checking my demo-program.
Good luck.

Doubt in using the function module SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1

Hi ,
My requirement is sending an excel sheet to the mail id's given in excel sheet.I am using the FM:SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1.I complete the program. It is working good.My problem here is once I received the excel sheet , if the amount value is 123.00. i can see only 123. As if the amount value is 123.78, i can see the value 123.78.I can see the value perfectly in debug mode , but the valus has been truncated in excel sheet .
Can anyone give me the idea how to correct this ?
Thanks,
Suresh.

Most likely reason seems to be that Excel is being overly friendly and fixing formats for you - e.g. if you have a column containing a PO reference such as 4500001234 then it will assume this is a number that can be included in calculations for format it as general, and not a text string that just happens to contain only numbers. You can fix this once the data is in Excel by formatting the cells the way you want.

Generic DataSource on Function Module - Query

Hi All,
We have a requirement wherin we have to pull data from MARM (Material UOM fields) table. This table has some 1,130,000 records. Since this table doesn't have a Last Changed on or Created on field we are not able to create a Generic Delta on the table itself.
We have come to know that in MM02, we can change the Unit of Measure fields for material. When we update in MM02, both MARA and MARM table gets changed. MARA will be updated with the last changed date.
So we are thinking of creating a Generic DataSource on Function module so that we can perform the delta on Last changed or Created on field of MARA.
I have a doubt about creating the function module. How should we achieve the initial load (Getting all the material and it's UOM to BW) and then Delta loads through the function module?
Does the first load needs to be or should be a full load?
If someone can tell me the steps that should be followed, it would be very helpful
Please let me know your suggesstion.
Regards,
Vivek Das Gupta

Hi
Could u try creating a view based Datasource.
Also u can do a full load in parallel by creating 4-5 Infopackages. After which a Init without data transfer can be done.
Hope this helps.

Information about some function modules

Hi!
Please can anyone give me some information about the following function modules:
CLBA_UPDATE_FILE_REMOTE_HOST
BP_MAP_SERVER_TO_HOST
RFC_HOST_TO_IP
RFC_IP_TO_HOST.
Thanks
Purnima.

Hello Purnima
BP_MAP_SERVER_TO_HOST does the following mapping:
- server = <host name>_<sysid>_<system number>
- host = <host name>
Input server -> output host (e.g. hostx0010_P01_00 -> hostx0010)
RFC_HOST_TO_IP and RFC_IP_TO_HOST convert host name to ip address and vice versa.

Can you explain me what is FM for and what role it plays for BAPI.
thanks
Sunny

hi
BAPI is a function module used in specific cases and they are better
in those particular ones cause they make many checks, so if you have two
options: a function module and a BAPI i�d tell you to use a BAPI.
If you have any other doubts about some BAPIS in particular, be sure to use
transaction BAPI
they have great documentation there.

Function module to get user AND usergroup

Hi Folks,
I need a function module which returns the user and the usergroup.
BAPI_USER_GETLIST won't work as it doesn't return the usergroup.
There are some other function modules but none of them can be called remotely.
I can't write a function module myself as we are working with validated systems.
The whole approval process would take months...
Does anybody know a function module which returns the user AND the usergroup AND can be called remotely?
Hope somebody can help me.

are you talking about usr02-CLASS values if yes
BAPI_USER_GET_DETAIL returns this in
export parameter LOGONDATA-class

How to add a created Z function module to the existing list in WE21

Hi all,
There is some existing function modules ( like EDI_PATH_CREATE_CLIENT_DOCNUM ) in WE21 in the function module field.
here, i need to create one Z function module as per user requirement & want to add to that list. is it possible???
actually, i want the file name format is like
" Document Number_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.xml ". but existing function modules are not giving this format.do anybody give any idea.
correct answers will be rewarded.
Thanks & Regards

HI Pabitra,
Yes, can always change the existing fm and add it with message type as follows pls note step 7 and step 8. (for inbound it is we42 and for outbound it is we41 )
Basic IDOCs have supplied by SAP with standard structure. (Segments). You can extend them with your own segments.
IDOCs does have unique number. They contain control, data, and status records.
Useful Transaction Codes:
WEDI : IDoc Menu
WE02 : IDoc List (can enter IDoc number to select on)
WE05 : IDoc List
WE19 : Transaction WE19 can be used to test the IDoc
WE30 : IDoc Type Development: Initial Screen
WE31: Development Segments: Initial Screen
WE60 : Documentation for IDoc Types. This allows you to view the IDoc you have created.
WE81 : Display View EDI: Logical Message Types: Overview
WE82: Display View Message Types and Assignment to IDoc Types: Overview
WE21 - Creation of POrt
WE20 - Partner Profile creation
SALE - ALE (Application Linking and Enabling) settings
For Outbound ALE Configurations: (Example)
IDoc definitions and necessary ALE configurations settings for the outbound .
Create Idoc segments Transaction WE31.
Create Idoc type Transaction WE30.
Create Message Type Transaction WE81.
Assign Message Type to Idoc type Transaction WE82.
Create a distribution Model - Transaction BD64
An IDoc is simply a data container that is used to exchange information between any two processes that can understand the syntax and semantics of the data...
1.IDOCs are stored in the database. In the SAP system, IDOCs are stored in database tables.
2.IDOCs are independent of the sending and receiving systems.
3.IDOCs are independent of the direction of data exchange.
The two available process for IDOCs are
Outbound Process
Inbound Process
AND There are basically two types of IDOCs.
Basic IDOCs
Basic IDOC type defines the structure and format of the business document that is to be exchanged between two systems.
Extended IDOCs
Extending the functionality by adding more segments to existing Basic IDOCs.
for creating a IDOC
see the below steps for outbound processing IDOCS..
2.1 Outbound Interface
PROCESS DIAGRAM
Outbound Interface
1. Analyse Hierarchy Levels
2. Create New segment
3. Create New IDoc Type
4. Create New Message Type
5. Link Message with IDoc Type
6. Create an entry in EDP13 via transactions WE20 and BD64
7. Populate the Custom IDoc via ABAP Program
7b Error Handling
7c. Send Status Email
8. Test the Population of the Custom IDoc
Step 1 Analyse Hierarchy Levels:
Analyse the data relationships being processed in the interface. Define the appropriate hierarchical Parent-to-Child relationships.
Navigate to transaction code WEDI
Transaction WEDI displays the IDOC main menu. This allows navigation around the various development and control areas to create a customised IDOC.
Step 2 Create a new segment:
via wedi : Development - IDOC Segments or Transaction code WE31.
Enter segment name and click on Create.
The? name of the segment type must start with Z1 , and have a maximum of eight characters.
Enter description and enter the relevant field names and data elements.
The segment should represent a structure in the program so for? each field in the segment a field name and a data element must be defined.
Save the segment and enter Person Responsible and Processing Person .
Go to Edit and Set Release.
Repeat this procedure for each new Segment in the IDOC.
Step 3 Create a new IDOC Type
via wedi Development - IDOC Types or Transaction WE30.
Enter segment name (starting with Z), click on Basic Type and then Create.
Create as new, enter Person Responsible and Processing Person and enter description.
On Create Basic Type screen decide where segments should be inserted and go to Edit/Create Segment.
Complete relevant fields in the Maintain Attributes screen:
From the relevant segments created in Step 2 enter the Segment type and if mandatory segment.
The Minimum and Maximum number of segments to be allowed in the sequence. (One minimum and one maximum if segment is mandatory).
The Parent Segment and Hierarchy Level will be automatically created depending on where in the IDOC tree you decided to create that particular segment.
Repeat this process for each segment needed in the IDOC type, deciding whether to add the next segments at the same level or as a Child.
When IDOC created return to initial screen. Go to Edit and Set Release.
Go to Transaction WE60 to view the IDoc Type you have created.
Step 4 Create new Message Type
via wedi Development - Message Types or Transaction WE81.
Display/Change and click on New Entries
Create a new Message Type and Save.
Step 5 Link Message Type to IDOC Type
via wedi Development - IDOC Type/Message or Transaction WE82.
Display/Change and then click on New Entries.
Enter Message Type, Basic Type (IDOC Type) and Release (46C) and Save.
Step 6 Create an entry in EDP13 via transactions WE20 and BD64.
The partner profile for the Idoc must be set up and generated in the transaction BD64 and transaction WE20.
WE20 Add Message Type to appropriate Partner Type, Enter Message Type, Receiver Port and Idoc Type and Save.
BD64 Create a Model View, Enter Sender and Receiver Ports, Attach Message Type. Go to Environment on Menu and click on Generate Partner Profiles and generate (not save) profile.
Step 7 Populate the custom IDOC via ABAP Program
See Test Program ZOUTBD_IDOC_TEMPLATE, Appendix IV.
Create an Internal Table for each segment type, this should be exactly the same structure as the segment type.
The control record is filled into a structure like EDIDC. The message type and the Idoc type for the Idoc must be populated into the eddic structure.
- PERFORM populate_Control_structure USING c_mestyp
c_SEGMENT_type1.
The data segments are filled into a structure like edidd-sdata; sdata and the segment name are populated into the edidd structure.
- PERFORM transfer_Parent_data_to_seg.
The standard SAP function module MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE is called to pass the populated IDOC to the ALE Layer.
- PERFORM master_idoc_distribute.
NOTE: This function module is only called for stand alone programs and Shared Master Data programs (SMD). It is not called when using extensions or output determination.
The ALE Layer handles the sending of the IDOC to the receiving system.
Error Handling (see Step 7b).
Commit work.
Project SpecificStep 7b Error Handling
Analyse which fields in the interface are mandatory for the receiving system and who needs to receive error notification.
Declare a structure of type MCMAILOBJ for sending instructions.
Enter values for the internal table based on structure MCMAILOBJ
For selection processes, on SY-SUBRC checks and where fields are mandatory for the receiving system; insert Function Module MC_SEND_MAIL.
Enter values in the following parameters: -
MS_MAIL_SENDMODE = B (Batch Mode)
MS_MAIL_TITLE = 'Mail Title'
MS_MAIL_DESCRIPTION = Error description (e.g. MATNR not given)
MS_MAIL_RECEIVER = Name of Receiver (To be determined)
MS_MAIL_EXPRESS = E (Express Delivery)
MS_MAIL_DLINAME = Leave Blank
MS_MAIL_LANGU = 'E' (Language)
MS_MAIL_FUNKOBJ_NAME = Leave Blank
TABLES
MS_MAIL_CONT = I_MCMAILOBJ
Note:
It has to be determined separately for each interface how these errors and mail notifications are to be grouped dependant upon the number of errors that are potentially likely. One possible approach is to send an email for each reason for rejection and include all the records that failed for that reason in the mail notification. Another possible approach is to send an email for every failure.
When error checking for mandatory fields it is common SAP practice to reject a record on its first failure (irrespective of subsequent errors in that record)
Step 7
(Transaction WE57)
Assign the custom function module to the IDoc type and the message type.
Set function module to type F and direction 2 for inbound.
Step 8
(Transaction WE42)
Create a new process code and assign it to the function module. The process code determines how the incoming IDoc is to be processed in SAP.
Step 9
(Transaction BD67)
Assign the function module to the process code created above. Got to New Entries and enter the process code and the function module name.
Step 10
(Transaction WE20 and Transaction BD64)
Create a partner profile for your message and ensure that in transaction WE20 the process code is the one that points to your function module. (See step 6 of creating Outbound Idocs).
Step 11
Ensure that error handling functionality is present.

Besst way to find a function module

Hi there
I am quiet new to ABAP and I am curiouse about how to best approach the search for a function module??
can u guys please tell me how you search for functions modules that preform a specific task.
For example if I search for a function module that would display a itab in an alv grid, how would I do that?
Thanks,
Nana

Hi Nana Lohmanns
Generic way of Finding the function module is only to go to se37 type any combination like ALV na dpress F4.
You will get name of function modules along with short text,then you can try the one you think as useful.
Like when you are looking for a Function module which can perform Operation on DATE.go to SE37 Type _DATE then press F4.You will get list of Function modules like:
DATE_CHECK_PLAUSIBILITY: Check to see if a date is in a valid format for SAP. Works well when validating dates being passed in from other systems.
DATE_COMPUTE_DAY: Returns a number indicating what day of the week the date falls on. Monday is returned as a 1, Tuesday as 2, etc.
DATE_GET_WEEK :will return the week that a date is in.
DATE_IN_FUTURE: Calculate a date N days in the future.

Adding a function module into a SQ01 Query

Hi ABAP Gurus,
I was trying to extract few dates from TSEGE Table, by linking the VTTK - HANDLE. We are trying to look at maintaining dates of shipment that were not previously used in our company.
When I tried extracting the dates from TSEGE, they come as timestamped UTC. I was told to use the function module IB_CONVERT_FROM_TIMESTAMP with CET in a query by an external consultant we use for our services. I am familiar with creating simple queries in SQVI and convert them to SQ01, also I know to create queries in SQ01 itself. But do not know how to add a function module into an SQ01 Query.
After checking a few threads, I realise that I should be creating a field and entering the code of the function module.
Is there any way, anybody could instruct me in simple terms how do I go about adding a function module.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Dear Jogeswara,
I have after reading a few threads, understood this small code and changed to my specification
To convert UTC Start time from TSEGE
CALL FUNCTION 'IB_CONVERT_FROM_TIMESTAMP'
EXPORTING
    I_TIMESTAMP = TSEGE-EVEN_TSTFR
    I_TZONE = CET
IMPORTING
    e_datlo = date
    e_timlo = time
To convert UTC Start End from TSEGE
CALL FUNCTION 'IB_CONVERT_FROM_TIMESTAMP'
EXPORTING
    i_timestamp = TSEGE-EVEN_TSTTO
    i_tzone = CET
IMPORTING
    e_datlo = date
    e_timlo = time
I hope the above codes are correct. If yes, I have a doubt: TSEGE-EVEN_TSTFR & TSEGE-EVEN_TSTTO have different time in the same field, "Actual" & "Forecast", which is determined by TSEGE-EVEN_VERTY wherein 1 is Actual and 0 is Forecast. Is this something I would have to put in the code, or something that would work in the query "Selection Fields"?
Thanks again!

Function module EBBS_ITEMS_READ doesn't exist in ECC 5(SAPNetweaver)!

Hi,
In our 4.6B system we have a few programs that use function module EBBS_ITEMS_READ.
Unfortunately this function module no longer exists in ECC 5 and our programs no longer work!
SO I've tried to find what SAP has done to replace these function modules and I've had no luck!?
I then thought that I could copy the function module into ECC 5 as a 'Z' funcion module but EBBS_ITEMS_READ calls about 20 other function modules that are also missing.
I am really stuck on how to recraete this functionality in ECC 5. Does anyone have any good ideas or tips?
Please help!!!!!

Hi Robert,
Sorry to disappoint you, but this functionality has been removed.
As you certainly are aware of this functionality belongs to SD functionality for RRB - Resource Related Billing. In 4.5 a new solution for RRB was developed - the DIP, Dynamic Item Processor. Have a look at trans ODP1 in config or SAP Help for further info.
This functionality was removed already in 4.7 Enterprise and, in my opinion, SAP has stated this quite clearly since several years.
Now, if you still have own Z-program relying on the EBBS function group you quite obviously face a big problem. RRB now uses the DP9x, (x = 0, 1, 5), transactions and not the good old VA90 anymore. Have a look at package VPK for info about FM and other stuff for DP9x solution.
My best advise is to ask a functional consultant about this. I guess that DP9x is already used in your ECC system. If not then this must be configured and a cut-over plan has to be developed. This is quite some work - I have just done all this conversion and cut-over for a company and it has taken some 6 months calender time with all internal communication, config, etc etc needed.
Sorry, no other way, to the best of my knowledge working in this area (amongst other) since a good 10+ years both function wise and also having done a lot of programming as well.
Feel free to ask follow up questions.
Regards, Johan
