External sub routines

what is the syntax for external sub routines

Hi,
You can specify the name of a subroutine and, in the case of external calls, the name of the program in which it occurs, dynamically as follows:
PERFORM (fsubr)[IN PROGRAM (fprog)][USING    p1 p2... ]
                                   [CHANGING p1 p2... ]
                                   [IF FOUND].
The names of the subroutine and the external program are the contents of the fields fsubr und fprogrespectively. By using the option IF FOUND, you can prevent a runtime error from being triggered if no subroutine with the name fsubr is found. If you omit the parentheses, this variant of the PERFORMstatement behaves like the static variant.
Assume a program contains the following subroutines:
PROGRAM formpool.
FORM sub1.
WRITE: / 'Subroutine 1'.
ENDFORM.
FORM sub2.
WRITE: / 'Subroutine 2'.
ENDFORM.
Dynamic Subroutine Specification:
PROGRAM form_test.
DATA: progname(8) TYPE c VALUE 'FORMPOOL',
      subrname(8) TYPE c.
subrname = 'SUB1'.
PERFORM (subrname) IN PROGRAM (progname) IF FOUND.
SUBRNAME = 'SUB2'.
PERFORM (subrname) IN PROGRAM (progname) IF FOUND.
This produces the following output:
Subroutine 1
Subroutine 2
The character field progname contains the name of the program, in which the subroutines are contained. The names of the subroutines are assigned to the character field subrname.
Calling Subroutines from a List
You can call a subroutine from a list as follows:
PERFORM idx OF subr1 subr2 ... subrn.
The system calls the subroutine specified in the subroutine list in position idx. You can only use this variant of the PERFORMstatement for internal subroutine calls, and only for subroutines without a parameter interface. The field idx can be a variable or a literal.
REPORT demo_mod_tech_perform_list.
DO 2 TIMES.
PERFORM sy-index OF sub1 sub2.
ENDDO.
FORM sub1.
WRITE / 'Subroutine 1'.
ENDFORM.
FORM sub2.
WRITE / 'Subroutine 2'.
ENDFORM.
This produces the following output:
Subroutine 1
Subroutine 2
In this example, the two internal subroutines, sub1 and sub2, are called consecutively from a list.

Reg, sub routine

how can u call a sub-routine from other programmes?

Hi,
Start of Content Area
Naming Subroutines Locate the document in its SAP Library structure
With the PERFORM statement, you can call subroutines which are coded in the same ABAP program (internal calls), or subroutines which are coded in other ABAP programs (external calls).
You can also specify the name of the subroutine dynamically at runtime, and call subroutines from a list.
Internal Subroutine Calls
To call a subroutine defined in the same program, you need only specify its name in the PERFORM statement:
PERFORM subr [USING    p1 p2... ]
             [CHANGING p1 p2... ].
The internal subroutine can access all of the global data of the calling program.
Example
REPORT demo_mod_tech_perform_int.
DATA: num1 TYPE i,
      num2 TYPE i,
      sum TYPE i.
num1 = 2. num2 = 4.
PERFORM addit.
num1 = 7. num2 = 11.
PERFORM addit.
FORM addit.
sum = num1 + num2.
PERFORM out.
ENDFORM.
FORM out.
WRITE: / 'Sum of', num1, 'and', num2, 'is', sum.
ENDFORM.
This produces the following output:
Sum of          2 and          4 is          6
Sum of          7 and         11 is         18
In this example the subroutines addit and out are defined at the end of the program. addit is called by the program and out is called by addit. The subroutines have access to the global fields num1, num2 und sum.
External Subroutine Calls
The principal function of subroutines is for modularizing and structuring local programs. However, subroutines can also be called externally from other ABAP programs. In an extreme case, you might have an ABAP program that contained nothing but subroutines. These programs cannot run on their own, but are used by other ABAP programs as pools of external subroutines.
However, if you want to make a function available throughout the system, you should use function modules instead of external subroutines. You create function modules in the ABAP Workbench using the Function Builder. They are stored in a central library, and have a defined release procedure.
You can encapsulate functions and data in the attributes and methods of classes in ABAP Objects. For any requirements that exceed pure functions, you can use global classes instead of external subroutines.
When you call a subroutine externally, you must know the name of the program in which it is defined:
PERFORM subr(prog) [USING    p1 p2... ]
                   [CHANGING p1 p2... ] [IF FOUND].
You specify the program name prog statically. You can use the IF FOUND option to prevent a runtime error from occurring if the program progdoes not contain a subroutine subr. In this case, the system simply ignores the PERFORM statement.
When you call an external subroutine, the system loads the whole of the program containing the subroutine into the internal session of the calling program (if it has not already been loaded). In order to save memory space, you should keep the number of subroutines called in different programs to a minimum.
Example
Suppose a program contains the following subroutine:
REPORT formpool.
FORM header.
WRITE: / 'Program started by', sy-uname,
         / 'on host', sy-host,
           'date:', sy-datum, 'time:', sy-uzeit.
ULINE.
ENDFORM.
The subroutine can then be called from another program as follows:
REPORT demo_mod_tech_perform_ext.
PERFORM header(demo_mod_tech_formpool_1) IF FOUND.
In this example, no data is passed between the calling program and the subroutine.
Specifying Subroutines Dynamically
You can specify the name of a subroutine and, in the case of external calls, the name of the program in which it occurs, dynamically as follows:
PERFORM (fsubr)[IN PROGRAM (fprog)][USING    p1 p2... ]
                                   [CHANGING p1 p2... ]
                                   [IF FOUND].
The names of the subroutine and the external program are the contents of the fields fsubr und fprogrespectively. By using the option IF FOUND, you can prevent a runtime error from being triggered if no subroutine with the name fsubr is found. If you omit the parentheses, this variant of the PERFORMstatement behaves like the static variant.
Example
Assume a program contains the following subroutines:
PROGRAM formpool.
FORM sub1.
WRITE: / 'Subroutine 1'.
ENDFORM.
FORM sub2.
WRITE: / 'Subroutine 2'.
ENDFORM.
Dynamic Subroutine Specification:
PROGRAM form_test.
DATA: progname(8) TYPE c VALUE 'FORMPOOL',
      subrname(8) TYPE c.
subrname = 'SUB1'.
PERFORM (subrname) IN PROGRAM (progname) IF FOUND.
SUBRNAME = 'SUB2'.
PERFORM (subrname) IN PROGRAM (progname) IF FOUND.
This produces the following output:
Subroutine 1
Subroutine 2
The character field progname contains the name of the program, in which the subroutines are contained. The names of the subroutines are assigned to the character field subrname.
Calling Subroutines from a List
You can call a subroutine from a list as follows:
PERFORM idx OF subr1 subr2 ... subrn.
The system calls the subroutine specified in the subroutine list in position idx. You can only use this variant of the PERFORMstatement for internal subroutine calls, and only for subroutines without a parameter interface. The field idx can be a variable or a literal.
Example
REPORT demo_mod_tech_perform_list.
DO 2 TIMES.
PERFORM sy-index OF sub1 sub2.
ENDDO.
FORM sub1.
WRITE / 'Subroutine 1'.
ENDFORM.
FORM sub2.
WRITE / 'Subroutine 2'.
ENDFORM.
This produces the following output:

I have done SAP-Script for Payment Vocher for T-code F110 ..I have a Sub Routine Program where I have few Form statements which is called by SAP - Script using Perform Statements, But my problem is when I set a break point in Sub Routine pool program, the out put is issuing with out Debugger ...
Could any one plz suggest me wht to do???
Help ful answers will be rewarded....

Hi,
First see if the 'Perform' statement is getting triggered in Script. To put a breakpoint in any script ( even if you do not know the form name, that is the best part ) is se38---->RSTXDBUG --->F8 & execute your pgm/Transaction. The control will wait in the form-debugger.
I hope this helps,

Dynamic TABLE parameter in Sub routine call

Hi,
Is it possible to have a dynamic TABLE parameter in a sub-routine call? The structure of the internal table will be different during different calls to the sub-routine.
I have a subroutine which has the FM "HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION" to update the infotype data for an Applicant. Now i want to call this subroutine for every Infotype update. So every time the structure of the internal table to be passed will vary depending on Infotype ( eg P0002 for Infotype 0002, p0006 for infotype 0006).
Any pointers will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Navin,
yes, why not.
just use a generic type parameter, i.e.
FORM process USING IT_00x type table IV_type typc.
It depend what yout FORM shall do. If you pass the types name, you can dynamically assign to a field-symbol of the respective type.

Clemens

How do i make this a sub routine

I have a little script to drill down folders and add comments to every folder and ever file inside the parent folder. It works perfectly well when run but itself. This was based heavily on the script found by NovaScotian here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2182916&#2182916
I basically want to make this script into a sub routine, and i have tried various methods and havent been able to make it work.
global the_comments
global each_item
global pete
global ddp
global ddp2
set ddp to {}
set ddp2 to {}
set theLetter to "s"
set newDroppedFiles to choose folder with multiple selections allowed
to drilldown(afolder)
tell application "Finder"
set file_list to files of a_folder
set folder_list to folders of a_folder
end tell
repeat with i in file_list
processDrilledDownFile(i)
tell application "Finder"
set comment of pete to text of the_comments
end tell
end repeat
repeat with i in folder_list
copy i to end of ddp2
drill_down(i)
end repeat
end drill_down
on processDrilledDownFile(a_file)
copy a_file to end of ddp
end processDrilledDownFile
set the_comments to (do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults read com.Rich.move " & theLetter & "Text")
repeat with each_item in newDroppedFiles
set pete to each_item
tell application "Finder"
set comment of each_item to text of the_comments
end tell
drill_down(pete)
end repeat
repeat with each_item in ddp
tell application "Finder"
set comment of each_item to text of the_comments
end tell
end repeat
repeat with each_item in ddp2
tell application "Finder"
set comment of each_item to text of the_comments
end tell
end repeat
regards
Rich

Your script already includes several subroutines, so the trick is separating those out first.
Essentially your script consists of three elements - global declarations, your own subroutines and a run handler. Since there's no explicit 'on run', everything that's not inside a subroutine becomes the run handler.
Therefore what you should do is strip out all the code that's not a global declaration or an existing handler and just wrap that in a new 'on subroutinename()... end subroutinename' block.
For sanity's sake I'd also add a specific run handler to bind it all together.
This means you'll end up with something like:
<pre class=command>global the_comments
global each_item
global pete
global ddp
global ddp2
on run
my myNiftySubroutine()
end run
to drilldown(afolder)
tell application "Finder"
set file_list to files of a_folder
set folder_list to folders of a_folder
end tell
repeat with i in file_list
processDrilledDownFile(i)
tell application "Finder"
set comment of pete to text of the_comments
end tell
end repeat
repeat with i in folder_list
copy i to end of ddp2
drill_down(i)
end repeat
end drill_down
on processDrilledDownFile(a_file)
copy a_file to end of ddp
end processDrilledDownFile
on myNiftySubroutine()
set ddp to {}
set ddp2 to {}
set theLetter to "s"
set newDroppedFiles to choose folder with multiple selections allowed
set the_comments to (do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults read com.Rich.move " & theLetter & "Text")
repeat with each_item in newDroppedFiles
set pete to each_item
tell application "Finder"
set comment of each_item to text of the_comments
end tell
drill_down(pete)
end repeat
repeat with each_item in ddp
tell application "Finder"
set comment of each_item to text of the_comments
end tell
end repeat
repeat with each_item in ddp2
tell application "Finder"
set comment of each_item to text of the_comments
end tell
end repeat
end myNiftySubroutine</pre>
There's just one other observation - most of the globals are not actually needed since you can just pass them as parameters to the subroutines.
I'm also not sure what the purpose of the script is - the upshot seems to be that you're setting the comment of items in the Finder, however, since you:
<pre class=command> set comment of pete to text of the_comments</pre>
and pete is a global pointing to the folder you're processing, surely this sets the comment of the folder x times, where x is the number of files in the folder - in other words if there are 100 files in the folder, you set the comment of the folder 100 times and don't touch the files themselves. Is that what you intend?

Include or sub-routine in user-exit

Hi all,
i want to put a sub-routine in my customer user-exit (CMOD).but i can not put the subroutine.
can i put a subroutine or include statement in a user exit?
correct answers will be rewarded.
Thanks

You can make subroutine calls inside a User exit, only if the exit is part of a function pool. All the subroutines can be placed in an include in the function pool & can be called with a Perform Statement from the User Exit.

Hi leela,
you can use one global variable for this as flag.
ex:
data flag type c.
perform sub1.
if flag = 'X'.
perform sub2.
endif.
form sub1.
if (condition yes).
flag = 'X'.
endif.
endform.
form sub2.
endform.
this will work well

Smart forms not displaying result from sub routine

I am working on a smart form and need to display the description of the fabric code. Under Form Routines, I create a sub routine
FORM fcc_values USING gv_fabrictext.
which is supposed to store the description in gv_fabrictext. GV_FABRICTEXT has been declared in global data as char64. Then I call prior to displaying my table as
perform fcc_values using gv_fabrictext.
And then insert the field &gv_fabrictext& in cell but this does not display any result
I know for sure that this sub routine works as I have tested it separately as a test program. Any ideas?

1. put break point at ssf_function madulename and check field value.
or
2 fm_name export parameter ur not mentioned
or
3 global variable not defined properly
go through above. still if u didnt get
need program where the problem to find.

Although your error message looks a little different, a bad object file
usually has indicated to me that the object that you are attempting to
wrapper is not a true obj or lib file. If you are attempting to wrapper a
dll (or exe like user.exe in Win 3.1) then you need to create a lib from
it and wrapper the lib. The Borland 4.5 syntax to do this is 'implib
destfile.lib source.dll'
I hope this is of some value to you.

How to call external Perl routines from Pl/SQL - Urgent

Available software in the Test Environment:
1. Sun Unix 2.8
2. Oracle 8.1.7 ( 8i)
3. Perl 5
Iam trying to call/execute perl scripts from PL/SQL using the DEMO_RDBMS.mk. I am able to call C scripts from PL/SQL, but actually want to call Perl scripts.
The steps followed for for C are -
1. Create and compile a simple C program to execute a unix command (eg., touch a file).
2. Make a shared library of the above compiled program (object), i.e., load the compiled object module into a dynamic load library.
3. Declare the above library in Oracle using SQL*Plus.
4. Define a PL/SQL function or procedure to call the external routine.
5. Test the external routine.
The above steps run good for a C program, but step 2 fails when run for a Perl script.
When I tried to use the following command for step 2 -
make -f $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo/demo_rdbms.mk extproc_callback \
SHARED_LIBNAME=cmd_lib.so \
OBJS=tst_cmd.pl
got the following error -
ld: fatal: file tst_cmd.pl: unknown file type.
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written t cmd_lib.so
*** Error code 1
This gives me an indication that demo_rdbms.mk does not understand/interpret Perl scripts. Going through the demo_rdbms.mk suggests the same.
My questions is - How do we call external Perl scripts/routines from PL/SQL ??
Do I have to get a different version of "demo_rdbms.mk" ?
PS: The perl scripts used above (tst_cmd.pl) is error free and works as intended in the unix environment.

Iam trying to call/execute perl scripts from PL/SQL using the DEMO_RDBMS.mk. I am able to call C scripts from PL/SQL, but actually want to call Perl scripts. Well, C is a "compiler" language and Perl is interpreted. In a sense, C is not "scripts".
When I tried to use the following command for step 2 -
make -f $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo/demo_rdbms.mk extproc_callback \
SHARED_LIBNAME=cmd_lib.so \
OBJS=tst_cmd.pl
got the following error -
ld: fatal: file tst_cmd.pl: unknown file type.
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written t cmd_lib.soI guess this compiles an extproc "stub" with your object file, generating an external procedure. So the object file really needs to be an object file :-)
My questions is - How do we call external Perl scripts/routines from PL/SQL ??I'd guess you need an embedded Perl interpreter in the external procedure.
Not much help though I'm afraid :-/
