Filling record object types dynamically
The example below shows the code to create two object types, and in the PL/SQL block the record object type is filled.
create type parameter_type as object
(name varchar2(30)
,value varchar2(250));
create type parameterset_type as table of parameter_type;
declare
l_parameters parameterset_type;
begin
l_parameters := parameterset_type
(parameter_type('par1', 'value1')
,parameter_type('par2', 'value2')
end;
Is it possible to fill the record object type in a more dynamic way than by a single assignment, as in the example? I would like to be able to create a loop in which I fill the rows one by one.
So something like:
declare
cursor c_prm is
select name
from parameters
order by seqnr;
begin
for r_prm in c_prm
loop
-- add parameter c_prm.name to parameterlist
end loop;
end;
just guessing but in that case, build an array or table where you can put every record.
type t_dummy is table of parameter_type;
declare
v_dummy t_dummy := t_dummy(null);
v_dummy.extend;
v_dummy(i) := parameterset_type
(parameter_type(r_prm.name, 'value1');

How to pass conventional table values in object types Dynamically
Hi All,
Need urgent help...
TYPE add_ty is object
(add1 varchar2(50),
add2 varchar2(50),
add2 varchar2(50))
type add_ty_obj is table of add_ty;
create table company_dtl
(cmpid number(10),
cmpname varchar2(100),
address add_ty_obj);
table company_dtl contains demo data as below:-
cmpid cmpname address
C101 abc UK,
USA,
AUS
c102 xyz UK,
CN,
GER
If I want to read data from table and pass data to object add_ty_obj,
So How can I do it dynamically. I am willing to create procedure
which can read data from above table and pass that to mentioned object in
OUT parameter.
Out parameter contains same object type somewhere in middleware.
Please help or advice.
Thanks in Advance..Hi
i have tried to make procedure that take company id as input and give their address as output.I think it might be useful for you. Or if you want something different
please write us with more detail.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE READ_DATA_PROC( VAR_CMPID IN NUMBER , VAR_TYP OUT ADD_TY_OBJ)
AS
BEGIN
SELECT ADDRESS INTO VAR_TYP FROM COMPANY_DTL WHERE CMPID = V_CMPID ;
END READ_DATA_PROC;
here i'm also adding your table and type definition i've used
CREATE TYPE ADD_TY IS OBJECT
(ADD1 VARCHAR2(50),
ADD2 VARCHAR2(50),
ADD3 VARCHAR2(50));
CREATE TYPE ADD_TY_OBJ AS TABLE OF ADD_TY;
CREATE TABLE COMPANY_DTL
(CMPID NUMBER(10),
CMPNAME VARCHAR2(100),
ADDRESS ADD_TY_OBJ)
NESTED TABLE ADDRESS STORE AS ADDRESS_TAB;thanks,

Help: Error when using LSMW (Recording Object Type)
Dear all,
I encountered an error when using "Batch Input Recording" way in LSMW,which is as follows:
I have recorded the transaction MM01 and the source structure and data mapping.When dealing
with "Specify Files",the error comes out with message
--> "File Name 'Converted Data':Max.45 Characters:Remaining saved".
and the subsequent steps cannot be maintained due to the error.Alex,
The name of file for Converted data is a system generated combination of your Project subproject and object followed by lsmw.conv as Project_Subproject_Object.lsmw.conv
System has set a limit of a maximum of 45 characters. It the file name exceeds 45 characters, the system will throw the error.
Just rename the file such that it is with in the 45 charcter limit....you will be fine
Hope this helps

List of PM Orders by Equipment Object Type
Hi SAP Gururs.
Is there any way to obtain a list of PM Orders by Tecnical Object Type?
When I use transaction IW38, It's impossible to fill Tecnical Object Type...
Thanks in advance...You can input some values in "Sort field" field for each technical object types in the master data of technical objects. Then search by sort field in IW38.
For example,
Sort Field - PP001 for Object type: PUMPS
Sort Field - MO001 for Object type: MOTORS
Sort Field - EN001 for Object type: ENGINE
But this is possible only if you are not using Sort field hitherto. If this is the case you can use some other dummy fields like location etc. for the same purpose.
Hope this helps. -
I have too many books and not enough understanding on this subject.
I am trying to fill an object type array with values and am totally confused. In my application, I successfully create a constructor in one file and test the object with some values in another file. I have two objects for employee and would like to place the object values into an object array. There is plenty of information on int[] arrays, but little on object arrays.
After I can do the array fill:
I would like to provide object values with JOptionPane.
Change the print display to show all array elements
But one thing at a time.
I was thinking that objects exist first, then are loaded or filled into an object array. I seem to misunderstand as I am not performing the array fill very well. Following a book example seems to confuse me only more.
Thank you

Dynamically built query on execution How to save the data in Object Type
Hi,
In pl/sql I am building and executing a query dynamically. How can I stored the output of the query in object type. I have defined the following object type and need to store the
output of the query in it. Here is the Object Type I have
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE DEMO.FIRST_RECORDTYPE AS OBJECT(
pkid NUMBER,
pkname VARCHAR2(100);
pkcity VARCHAR2(100);
pkcounty VARCHAR2(100)
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE DEMO.FIRST_RECORDTYPETAB AS TABLE OF FIRST_RECORDTYPE;Here is the query generated at runtime and is inside a LOOP
--I initialize my Object Type*
data := new FIRST_RECORDTYPETAB();
FOR some_cursor IN c_get_ids (username)
LOOP
x_context_count := x_context_count + 1;
-- here I build the query dynamically and the same query generated is
sql_query := 'SELECT pkid as pid ,pkname as pname,pkcity as pcity, pkcounty as pcounty FROM cities WHERE passed = <this value changes on every iteration of the cursor>'
-- and now I need to execute the above query but need to store the output
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sql_query
INTO *<I need to save the out put in the Type I defined>*
END LOOP;
How can I save the output of the dynamically built query in the Object Type. As I am looping so the type can have several records.
Any help is appreciated.

Converting OBJECT Type into RECORD Type
folks,
Is there a way to Convert a OBJECT Type into a RECORD Type in Oracle PL/SQL, Because i have a stored procedure with RECORD Type as a IN parameter and as we know that we JDBC doesn't support calling or returning RECORD Types , So i was thinking of sending a OBJECT type and convert that to a RECORD type,
I appreciate any help with the code or point to the documentation,
thanks

Use TYPE RECORD or Create Object TYPE to build Collection?
Hi All,
I need to pull in data from our ERP system via a DB Link to keep some of our Web Data up to date. I wasn't sure if I should pull the data into my collection by creating a TYPE RECORD or Creating an Object Type and fillng it that way. Is there a preferrable method?
Record:
TYPE ItemInventory IS RECORD (
ProductID Products.ProductID%TYPE,
Qty Products.QTY%TYPE);
Object:
Create Type ProdObj as Object(
ProductID Products.ProductID%TYPE,
QTY Products.QTY%TYPE);
Maybe both are suitable....wasn't sure.
Any suggestions/info is greatly apprecaited.

We have a complex view we use from our ERP system that allows us to pull all of our available inventory and update our website with that information. What I was thinking I would do is refactor the current procedures that are in place to update this information and pull that views information into a collection so that I could speed up the update process.The basic difference between the two is that one is a dumb record structure (similar to a C struct), whereas the other is an intelligent class (similar to a class definition in Java/C++). It can have methods and constructors.
The next major difference is that one can only be use in the PL language and not in SQL. The record struct is a PL data type definition. PL cannot provide SQL engine support for it.
On the other hand, the SQL type definition is supported by both the PL and SQL languages. This allows the type to be transparently used in both languages.
I usually prefer the SQL type definition approach in general, as it allows for more flexibility.
However, for pure collection processing in PL/SQL, there's very little to choose between the two approaches as they serve the exact same purpose - increasing performance by decreasing context switching between the PL and SQL engines.
So you need to look beyond mere bulk collection and bulk processing to decide on which approach to use. For example, a SQL type definition allows for a standard SQL projection from cursors, enabling PL/SQL code to be cursor agnostic (as each cursor, irrespective of the table(s) queried, returns the same object type). However, if the aim is simply to bulk collect from that specific cursor, then it is a lot simpler to use a PL record struct. -
Help in using record type and object type
Hi Experts,

I want to send those 50 records to OUT parameter using record type or object type.
Please provide the for the requirement code using RECORD TYPE and OBJECT TYPE separately.
Your earliest response is appreciated.

<b>Also, refer the following questions on ABAP :</b>
ABAP Interview Questions
1. How data is stored in cluster table?
Each field of cluster table behaves as tables which contains the no. of entries.
2. What are client dependant objects in abap/sap?
SAP Script layout, text element, and some DDIC objects.
3. On which even we can validate the input fields in module progams?
In PAI (Write field statement on field you want to validate, if you want to validate group of fields put in chain and End chain statement.)
4. In selection screen I have three fields, plant mat no and material group. If I input plant how do I get the mat no and material group based on plant dynamically?
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR MATERIAL.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST' to get material and material group for the plant.
5. How do you get output from IDOC?
Data in IDOc is stored in segments, the output from Idoc is obtained by reading the data stored in its respective segments.
6. When top of the page event is triggered?
After excuteing first write statement in start-of-selection event.
7. Can we create field without data element and how?
In SE11 one option is available above the fields strip. Data element/ direct type.
8. How do we debug sapscript?
Go to SE71 give lay set name , go to utilities select debugger mode on.
9. Which transaction code can I used to analyze the performance of ABAP program.
TCode AL21.
10. How can I copy a standard table to make my own z_table.
Go to transaction SE11. Then there is one option to copy table. Press that button. Enter the name of the standard table and in the Target table enter Z table name and press enter.
1. What is the use of 'outerjoin'
Ans. With the use of outer join you can join the tables even there is no entry in all the tables used in the view.
In case of inner join there should be an entry in al the tables use in the view.
2. When to use logical database?
Ans. Advantage of Logical databases:
less coding s required to retrieve data compared to normal internel tables.
Tables used LDB are in hierarchial structure.
3. What is the use of 'table index'?
Ans .Index is used for faster access of data base tables.
4. What is the use of 'FOR ALL ENTRIES'?
Ans. To avoid nested select statements we use SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES statement.
If there r more than 10000 records SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES is used.
Performance wise SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES is better to use.
5. Can you set up background processing using CALL TRANSACTION?
Yes,Using No Screen Mode.
6. What are table buffers?
Table buffers reside locally on each application server in the system. The data of buffered tables can thus be accessed
directly from the buffer of the application server. This avoids the time-consuming process of accessing the database.
Buffering is useful if table needs to be accessed more no. of times in a program.

Deepti
1. There are other ways of entering data into a DB table. ex. B D C
2. Collect statement collect/adds the records basing on a key field. allows to create summarised data sets.
Append will append/add a record at the end of existing records
8. to release an object - use se10/se9
9. sales doc flow: S. A. - S. O. - Delivery - Billing
12. Delivery - invoice.
15. field symbols are used for dynamic allocation. at runtime u can assign a concrete field to field-symbol.
Kishore
1. you can go to abap editor (se38) and use insert statement for insertion update for update and modify for modifications.
2. collect will not allow duplicate entries, while append can allow duplicates.
3. if any changes are made to objects they are to be transported to different systems i.e, change and transport.
4. in user exits we go by general method for enhancements while BADIs we use objects (oops concepts)
methods for enhancement.
14. table controls are enhanced version for step loops where we can expand rows .main difference between these two
is step loop can be expanded to two lines table controls can`t.
15. field symbols are just like pointers concept which are used in C language. We use them when we want to refer to
the fields considered,it doesnt allocate any memory for it.
Venu Rapolu
1. Ans: Using BDC., LSMW,,ALE., BAPI
2. Ans: Collect: it adds the numeric fields to the existing non numeric key field records., thereby avoiding duplicate
values., and append will simply adds the record
3 . Ans: The CTS contains work bench organizer and transport system :
The workbench organizer is used to record and contol changes to the ABAP/4 development objects;
The transport system is used to move objects from an SAP dev.system to production system
6. Ans: Outbound interface is used to send IDocs to the ALE server.,
Inbound interface is used to Analyse the received Idoc.
7. Ans: We (ABAPers) don't do.
8. Ans: se09 or se10
13. Ans: MATMAS
CREMAS
DEBMAS
GLMAST etc...
14. Ans: to display records in table format., we use in Screens
15. Ans: we assign the field content at run time with ASSIGN stmt.
Satish D
1. goto se16 u can view the table contents
2. collect will collects all the numeric fields of nonnumeric field values
append will append record at the end of table
3. when we are creatiing new task like dev. a new prg.. after completion of dev. that will be trnsported to testing system or production system to do that we are assigning an
transport request from our dev.class(system) by using se09
4. badis are dev. by class and inheritence methods where as user exitsdev by SAP only and empty shells filled wit user logic
5. go to system then status
6. outbound generating an idoc in ale layer with master_idoc_create_messgetype,
inbound is receivng system with idoc_inbound_process, gives an return variable wether it is sucess or not
7. no we have to configur that
8. go to se09 or se01 there write your task no and use release button it will asks whats the other system name
and number enter them and relase by pressing jeep button
9. inquiry
quotation
sales order
shipping
delivery
invoice
return goods
12. after creation of delivry note invoice is prepared
13. master_idoc_distribute will generate standard idoc
Deepti
I am enclosing some of answers which I know.
1. We can use t.Code SE16 to enter values into table only if table maintainence is allowed for that table.
2. Append will add new entries into the table where as collect add into the numeric type fields if other charatcer fields
matches to your selection criteria.
3. CTS used for creation of ABAP development transport requests.The transaction code for this is SE10.
4. UserExits r used for adding additional functionality to the existing SAP standard transactions.Using UserExits we can add additional functionality standard SAP functionality without making any changes to the original code.BADI is a standardized interface for ABAP sources that enables partners and customers to enhance SAP-delivered programs in their namespace.
5 .We can identify User exits by using transactions CMOD and SMOD.
6. After entering transaction code SE10 select the transport request which u want to transport and click on transport icon(Truck symbol) to release it.
10. Purchase Requistion->RFQ->Vendor Evaluation->Purchase Order(ME21).
14. Table control is the only facility provide thru dialog programming when we come acrosse the use of updating standared,deletion,insertion and all database operations.
15. Field symbols r pointers to the existing data types(like 'C') which does not allocate any memory space. These are used faster access of data.
Answers to some ABAP Interview Questions:
Questions which I have faced in an interview:

2) What is meant by performance analysis? Have done anything to improve the performance?
3) How to transfer the objects? Have to transferred any objects?
4) How did you test the developed objects?
5) What is the difference between SAP Memory and ABAP Memory?
6) In order to upload Purchase order details, how you handle multiple values for a single field?
Eg: Item field may contain no. of values for a record
7) What is the procedure you followed to upload the data?
8) How did you handle errors in Call Transaction?
9) Among the Call Transaction and Session Method, which is faster?
10) What are the difference between Interactive and Drill Down Reports?

12) How to create a link between modified form and modified print program?
13) What is the table, which contain the details of all the name of the programs and forms?
14) How did you test the form u developed? How did you taken print?
15) What are Standard Texts?
16) What is the difference between Clustered Tables and Pooled Tables?
17) What is pf-status?
18) Among "Move" and "Move Corresponding", which is efficient one?
19) What are the output type and Tcodes?
20) Where we use Chain and Endchain?
21) Do you use select statement in loop endloop, how will be the performance? To improve the performance?
22) In select-options, how to get the default values as current month first date and last date by default?
Eg: 1/12/2004 and 31/12/2004
Go thru these answers:
1) What is runtime analysis? Have you used this?
It's checks program execution time in microseconds. When you go to se30.if you give desired program name in performance file. It will take you to below screen. You can get how much past is your program.
2) What is meant by performance analysis? Have done
3) How to transfer the objects? Have you transferred any objects?
4) How did you test the developed objects?
I was testing a developed object. There are two types of testing
- Negative testing
- Positive testing
In negative testing we will give negative data in input and we check any errors occurs.
In positive testing we will give positive data in input for checking errors.
8) How did you handle errors in Call Transaction?
We can create a internal table like 'bsgmcgcoll'. All the messages will go to internal table. We can get errors in this internal table.
Below messages are go to internal table. when you run the call transaction.
- Message type
- Message id
- Message Number
- Variable1
- Variable2
- Variable3
9) Among the Call Transaction and Session Method, which is faster?
Call transaction is faster then session method. But usually we use session method in real time...because we can transfer large amount of data from internal table to database and if any errors in a session. Process will not complete until session get correct.
10) What are the difference between Interactive and Drill Down Reports?
ABAP/4 provides some interactive events on lists such as AT LINE-SELECTION (double click) or AT USER-COMMAND (pressing a button). You can use these events to move through layers of information about individual items in a list.
Drill down report is nothing but interactive report...drilldown means above paragraph only.
11) How to pass the variables to forms?
12) What is the table, which contain the details of all the name of the programs and forms?
Table contains vertical and horizontal lines. We can store the data in table as blocks. We can scroll depends upon your wish. And these all are stored in database (data dictionary).
Which contain the details of all the name of the programs and forms? (I don't know).
13) How did you test the form u developed? How did you taken print?
14) What are Standard Texts?
16) What is the difference between Clustered Tables and Pooled Tables?
A pooled table is used to combine several logical tables in the ABAP/4 dictionary. Pooled tables are logical tables that must be assigned to a table pool when they are defined.
Cluster table are logical tables that must be assigned to a table cluster when they are defined.
Cluster table can be used to store control data they can also used to store temporary data or text such as documentation.
17) What is pf-status?
Pf status is used in interactive report for enhancing the functionality. If we go to se41, we can get menus, items and different function keys, which we are using for secondary list in interactive report.
18) Among "Move" and "Move Corresponding", which is efficient one?
I guess, 'move corresponding' is very efficient then 'move' statement. Because usually we use this stamtent for internal table fields only...so if we give move corresponding. Those fields only moving to other place (what ever you want).
19) What are the output type and Tcodes?
20) Where we use Chain and End chain?
21) Do you use select statement in loop end loop, how will be the performance? To improve the performance?
22) In select-options, how to get the default values as current month first date and last date by default?
Eg: 1/12/2004 and 31/12/2004
SAP ABAP interview questions
Thanks to the reader who sent in this question set:
1. What is an ABAP data dictionary?- ABAP 4 data dictionary describes the logical structures of the objects used in application development and shows how they are mapped to the underlying relational database in tables/views.
2. What are domains and data element?- Domains:Domain is the central object for describing the technical characteristics of an attribute of an business objects. It describes the value range of the field. Data Element: It is used to describe the semantic definition of the table fields like description the field. Data element describes how a field can be displayed to end-user.
3. What is foreign key relationship?- A relationship which can be defined between tables and must be explicitly defined at field level. Foreign keys are used to ensure the consistency of data. Data entered should be checked against existing data to ensure that there are now contradiction. While defining foreign key relationship cardinality has to be specified. Cardinality mentions how many dependent records or how referenced records are possible.
4. Describe data classes.- Master data: It is the data which is seldomly changed. Transaction data: It is the data which is often changed. Organization data: It is a customizing data which is entered in the system when the system is configured and is then rarely changed. System data:It is the data which R/3 system needs for itself.
5. What are indexes?- Indexes are described as a copy of a database table reduced to specific fields. This data exists in sorted form. This sorting form ease fast access to the field of the tables. In order that other fields are also read, a pointer to the associated record of the actual table are included in the index. Yhe indexes are activated along with the table and are created automatically with it in the database.
6. Difference between transparent tables and pooled tables.- Transparent tables: Transparent tables in the dictionary has a one-to-one relation with the table in database. Its structure corresponds to single database field. Table in the database has the same name as in the dictionary. Transparent table holds application data. Pooled tables. Pooled tables in the dictionary has a many-to-one relation with the table in database. Table in the database has the different name as in the dictionary. Pooled table are stored in table pool at the database level.
7. What is an ABAP/4 Query?- ABAP/4 Query is a powerful tool to generate simple reports without any coding. ABAP/4 Query can generate the following 3 simple reports: Basic List: It is the simple reports. Statistics: Reports with statistical functions like Average, Percentages. Ranked Lists: For analytical reports. - For creating a ABAP/4 Query, programmer has to create user group and a functional group. Functional group can be created using with or without logical database table. Finally, assign user group to functional group. Finally, create a query on the functional group generated.
8. What is BDC programming?- Transferring of large/external/legacy data into SAP system using Batch Input programming. Batch input is a automatic procedure referred to as BDC(Batch Data Communications).The central component of the transfer is a queue file which receives the data vie a batch input programs and groups associated data into sessions.
9. What are the functional modules used in sequence in BDC?- These are the 3 functional modules which are used in a sequence to perform a data transfer successfully using BDC programming: BDC_OPEN_GROUP - Parameters like Name of the client, sessions and user name are specified in this functional modules. BDC_INSERT - It is used to insert the data for one transaction into a session. BDC_CLOSE_GROUP - This is used to close the batch input session.
10. What are internal tables?- Internal tables are a standard data type object which exists only during the runtime of the program. They are used to perform table calculations on subsets of database tables and for re-organising the contents of database tables according to users need.
11. What is ITS? What are the merits of ITS?- ITS is a Internet Transaction Server. ITS forms an interface between HTTP server and R/3 system, which converts screen provided data by the R/3 system into HTML documents and vice-versa. Merits of ITS: A complete web transaction can be developed and tested in R/3 system. All transaction components, including those used by the ITS outside the R/3 system at runtime, can be stored in the R/3 system. The advantage of automatic language processing in the R/3 system can be utilized to language-dependent HTML documents at runtime.
12. What is DynPro?- DynPro is a Dynamic Programming which is a combination of screen and the associated flow logic Screen is also called as DynPro.
13. What are screen painter and menu painter?- Screen painter: Screen painter is a tool to design and maintain screen and its elements. It allows user to create GUI screens for the transactions. Attributes, layout, filed attributes and flow logic are the elements of Screen painter. Menu painter: Menu painter is a tool to design the interface components. Status, menu bars, menu lists, F-key settings, functions and titles are the components of Menu painters. Screen painter and menu painter both are the graphical interface of an ABAP/4 applications.
14. What are the components of SAP scripts?- SAP scripts is a word processing tool of SAP which has the following components: Standard text. It is like a standard normal documents. Layout sets. - Layout set consists of the following components: Windows and pages, Paragraph formats, Character formats. Creating forms in the R/3 system. Every layout set consists of Header, paragraph, and character string. ABAP/4 program.
15. What is ALV programming in ABAP? When is this grid used in ABAP?- ALV is Application List viewer. Sap provides a set of ALV (ABAP LIST VIEWER) function modules which can be put into use to embellish the output of a report. This set of ALV functions is used to enhance the readability and functionality of any report output. Cases arise in sap when the output of a report contains columns extending more than 255 characters in length. In such cases, this set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange the different columns from a report output and also save different variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output. The report output can contain up to 90 columns in the display with the wide array of display options.
16. What are the events in ABAP/4 language?- Initialization, At selection-screen, Start-of-selection, end-of-selection, top-of-page, end-of-page, At line-selection, At user-command, At PF, Get, At New, At LAST, AT END, AT FIRST.
17. What is CTS and what do you know about it?- The Change and Transport System (CTS) is a tool that helps you to organize development projects in the ABAP Workbench and in Customizing, and then transport the changes between the SAP Systems and clients in your system landscape. This documentation provides you with an overview of how to manage changes with the CTS and essential information on setting up your system and client landscape and deciding on a transport strategy. Read and follow this documentation when planning your development project.
18. What are logical databases? What are the advantages/ dis-advantages of logical databases?- To read data from a database tables we use logical database. A logical database provides read-only access to a group of related tables to an ABAP/4 program. Advantages: i)check functions which check that user input is complete, correct,and plausible. ii)Meaningful data selection. iii)central authorization checks for database accesses. iv)good read access performance while retaining the hierarchical data view determined by the application logic. dis advantages: i)If you donot specify a logical database in the program attributes,the GET events never occur. ii)There is no ENDGET command,so the code block associated with an event ends with the next event statement (such as another GET or an END-OF-SELECTION).
19. What is a batch input session?- BATCH INPUT SESSION is an intermediate step between internal table and database table. Data along with the action is stored in session ie data for screen fields, to which screen it is passed, program name behind it, and how next screen is processed.
20. How to upload data using CATT ?- These are the steps to be followed to Upload data through CATT: Creation of the CATT test case & recording the sample data input. Download of the source file template. Modification of the source file. Upload of the data from the source file.
21. What is Smart Forms?- Smart Forms allows you to create forms using a graphical design tool with robust functionality, color, and more. Additionally, all new forms developed at SAP will be created with the new Smart Form solution.
22. How can I make a differentiation between dependent and independent data?- Client dependent or independent transfer requirements include client specific or cross client objects in the change requests. Workbench objects like SAPscripts are client specific, some entries in customizing are client independent. If you display the object list for one change request, and then for each object the object attributes, you will find the flag client specific. If one object in the task list has this flag on, then that transport will be client dependent.
23. What is the difference between macro and subroutine? - Macros can only be used in the program the are defined in and only after the definition are expanded at compilation / generation. Subroutines (FORM) can be called from both the program the are defined in and other programs . A MACRO is more or less an abbreviation for some lines of code that are used more than once or twice. A FORM is a local subroutine (which can be called external). A FUNCTION is (more or less) a subroutine that is called external. Since debugging a MACRO is not really possible, prevent the use of them (Ive never used them, but seen them in action). If the subroutine is used only local (called internal) use a FORM. If the subroutine is called external (used by more than one program) use a FUNCTION.

Using Pl/SQL Developer
Hi I'm new to collections, object types etc, so I aologize for any poor wording and missed concepts...
I need to output a ref cursor from my package (for a summary report in SQL Server Reporting Services 2005). The summary report has two fields that come from the database table and 5 calculated fields. My idea for creating the ref cursor is as follows:
1. Define an object type at the schema level
2. Define a table (collection) type at the schema level
3. Define a ref cursor at the package level
4. Using dynamic SQL create a sql statement creating virtual columns for the 5 calculated fields
5. Fetch cursor with dynamic sql into object type one record at a time
6. Calculate the other five field values and update the object for each record processed
7. Add the object 'record' to the table (collection) after each record is processed
8. After the fetch is complete, convert the table to a ref cursor for returning to my application
Here is what I have so far. I have cut out several of the calculated fields for simplicities sake. It is not complete and I don't know how to fetch the database row into the object, nor convert the collection to a ref cursor.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Test Management - Add TBOM Object Types
Hello gurus!
My inquiry is the following:
I have created the TBOM for my Business Process, but when I check the TBOM content, not all object types I want are recorded. Is there a way to add which object types I want to be traced?
Kind regards,
Chrysanthihi Chrysanthi,
Did you generated TBOM dynamic or stati?
TBOM contents can be generated dynamically or statically.
Dynamic:
In the dynamic generation of a TBOM, the corresponding transaction is called using the corresponding RFC user in the managed system. All objects involved in the transaction are entered in the background and copied to the TBOM once the transaction is complete.
The generation of the dynamic TBOM only covers operations in the managed system that are processed within a context there. Branches to other systems (e.g. by RFC) are not recorded. This also applied to branched GUI procedures, which occur, for example, if a Web Dynpro is called within an SAP transaction. The operations within the Web Dynpro application are not recorded.
Static:
In the static generation of a TBOM, the transaction is not called. The system uses an environment analysis to determine which objects are involved in the transaction. Dynamic calls or generated objects are not found and therefore do not enter the TBOM either.

PL/SQL Object Type - Java oracle.jbo.domain
PL/SQL Object Type <-> Java oracle.jbo.domain
can anybody help me, getting my domains to work?
Following scenario:
in pl/sql we have an object type called MULTI_LANGUAGE. This type is used for storing multilingual texts as nested table in one(!) column.
So the object MULTI_LANGUAGE contains a member variable LANGUAGE_COLLECTION of type LANGUAGE_TABLE, which itself is a nested table of objects
of the type LANGUAGE_FIELD (this again is only a language id and the corresponding content)
Also the methods setContent(langID, langContent) and getContent(langId) are defined on Object MULTI_LANGUAGE.
For example: Table having primary key, 2 other columns and one column of object type MULTI_LANGAGE (=nested table of objects)
|ID|Column1|Column2| multilingual Column |
|--|---------------------------------------|
| | | | ------------------- |
| | | | | 1 | hello | |
| | | | ------------------- |
|1 | foo | bar | | 2 | hallo | | <- Row Nr 1
| | | | ------------------- |
| | | | | 3 | ola | |
| | | | ------------------- |
|--|-------|-------|-----------------------|
| | | | ------------------- |
| | | | | 1 | world | |
| | | | ------------------- |
|2 | abc | def | | 2 | welt | | <- Row Nr 2
| | | | ------------------- |
| | | | | 3 | ??? ;-) | |
| | | | ------------------- |
|--|-------|-------|-----------------------|Now i've tried to modell this structure as an oracle.jbo.domain.
class MultiLanguage extends Struct having this StructureDef:
attrs[(0)] = new DomainAttributeDef("LanguageColl", "LANGUAGE_COLL", 0, oracle.jbo.domain.Array.class, 2003, "ARRAY", -127, 0, false, "campusonlinepkg.common.LanguageField");
and
class LanguageField extends Struct having this StructureDef:
attrs[(0)] = new DomainAttributeDef("Id", "ID", 0, oracle.jbo.domain.Number.class, 2, "NUMERIC", -127, 0, false);
attrs[(1)] = new DomainAttributeDef("Content", "CONTENT", 1, java.lang.String.class, 12, "VARCHAR", -127, 4000, false);
Is there anything wrong with this StructureDef?
When running the BC-Browser with -Djbo.debugoutput=console -Djbo.jdbc.driver.verbose=true parameters I get suspect warnings when browsing the records

(XMLTEST is the name of the schema)
Seems as if the framework can't read the TypeDescriptor or does not know which descriptor to read (XMLTEST.null??)
Do I have to implement my own JboTypeMap?
Please help, I'm stuck.
Thanks in advance, ChristianThanks for your suggestion, but it seems to me as if there is one level missing.
in pl/sql I have following structure:
Struct MULTI_LANGUAGE (Object type) - outermost
Array LANGUAGE_TABLE (nested table type)
Struct LANGUAGE_FIELD (Object type simple) - innermostthe reason why i had to wrap another struct around the array was because it is not possible to define methods on a nested table. this is only possible on objects.
on the outermost object type (which holds the array of language fields) I needed to define following 2 methods for direct access:
getContent (langId in number) returns varchar2
setContent (langId in number, langContent in varchar2)
I would like to rebuild the same structure in java, because newly written java code should live in perfect harmony with legacy pl/sql code ;-)
Both applications (Java and pl/sql) have to access the same data as long as migration to java goes on.
Is this nested structure too much for a Domain?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks again, Christian -
OSB to Object Types: difference between NULL value and not available
Hello all,
I have a question about Object Types. More specifically, how to differentiate between an empty value (null) and a string not available.
This is my case:
I have created an object type with three parameters.
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE OSB_EMP_OBJ_TYPE AS OBJECT
(EMP_ID NUMBER
,DEPT_ID NUMBER
,ORDER_ID NUMBER
,CONSTRUCTOR FUNCTION OSB_EMP_OBJ_TYPE
RETURN self as result
/I would like to see what happens when I put an empty string into emp_id, NULL into DEPT_ID and nothing into ORDER_ID.
To do so I have this test script:
declare
p_emp OSB_EMP_OBJ_TYPE := OSB_EMP_OBJ_TYPE();
begin
p_emp.EMP_ID := '';
p_emp.DEPT_ID := null;
-- p_emp.ORDER_ID := null;
if p_emp.EMP_ID is null
then
dbms_output.put_line('Empty');
end if;
if p_emp.DEPT_ID is null
then
dbms_output.put_line('NULL');
end if;
if p_emp.ORDER_ID is null
then
dbms_output.put_line('Not available');
end if;
end;The result of this is:
Empty
NULL
Not availableIt seems that Oracle treats all three situations alike. What I would like to achieve is a way to see that p_emp.ORDER_ID was not initialized.
To elaborate a bit: in our production system this procedure would be called from OSB and the object type would by the input for that procedure. Our database version is 10.2.0.5.0.
Our procedures look something like this:
procedure p_procedure ( p_emp in osb_emp_obj_type )
is
begin
do_something;
end;Can anyone tell me if there is a way to achieve this, so I can see whether or not a value in the object type was filled?
Thanks in advance!Darn...
Eventually we want to use this for an update procedure. The client gets all current data from the database by calling a webservice that (using OSB) selects the data from our database. What we want to achieve is that the client can update that data, by returning only the changed fields to an update procedure.
We then handle an empty tag to update the field to null, and we ignore missing tags.
OSB itself can handle this, but PL/SQL can't.
I'm now thinking of adding an indicator to each optional field (clear_field_yn). OSB can still check for empty tags or missing tags. When a tag is empty, it's corresponding indicator will be set to 'Y'. If the tag is missing, then it will be set to 'N'.
Is that a solution to consider, or is there a much simpler approach possible?
