Find Author name of a FM using ABAP

Hi Everyone,
given a function name, I want to find out the author name using ABAP code.
Thanks
Misbah

Misbah - You should go to TFDIR table to get the FM name and Prog. name and then go to TRDIR table and enter the prog.name. That will give you the person who created and who last changed the program and also created date and changed date.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Thank you for the helping me. But, I actually want something which we call a Text Box. I do not require a Text Edit Control.
Please tell me if you know any classes related to it and the parameters that I need to pass into it.

Take structure of internal table as
TYPES : BEGIN OF TY_FM,
        FUNCNAME TYPE RS38L_FNAM, "Name of Function Module

Define attachment name for PDF document using ABAP class CL_BCS

Hi,
I am using the ABAP class CL_BCS to send an email with a PDF attachment. The issue I have is that although I am specifying the attchment name when receiving the email the attachment is called 'MESSAGE'PDF'.
I can view the attachment in SOST and the correct attachment name appears.
I need to use this class as I am sending multiple attachments, whereas the FM only allows 1 attachment .
Has anyone had this issue before with a PDF attachment.
Thanks
Martin

Hi Hasan,
I have similar requirement. I see your post is pretty old and hope you would have found the solution at that time.
Could you please share it with me?

Hi,
              For this you need to create Lock Object from se11 .It will automatically crate Two Function modules for enque and deque.
In you case If you want to see the Details for Va02 use.

Need To Find Query Name Used In A Bookmark

Hi,
I have a bookmark that is not based off a web template. It was created by running the query on the web and then saving the bookmark from there. We have since forgotten the query technical name. How can I find it out?
(I have tried looking at table RSZWBOOKMARK but it doesn't have any info about the query. And the web template id field is blank since we didn't create the bookmark that way.)
Thanks,
Audrey

Audrey,
We had a similar need recently to report on bookmarks in the BW system by user, query, InfoProvider, etc. We ended up having a custom ABAP developed here to piece some of the information together for a report. In our scenario, the bookmark links were actually being stored in the BW user's favorites, so it took additional linkage to go from there as well.
You may want to look at some of the same tables we had to access here. Try looking at data in the RSZWOBJ table -- the keys to this table would be OBJID (use the RSZWBOOKMARK-BOOKMARKID) and OBJVERS ('A'). Because of the way the data is stored with this, you may have to use ABAP code similar to the one below to get Bookmark info. I took a few snippets of code out of a program to help show this -- here the field WS_INFOPROVIDERID is getting filled with the query name behind the bookmark.
sample working storage below -
DATA:
l_s_id_objvers TYPE rszw_s_id_objvers,
l_s_rszwobj    TYPE rszwobj,
l_sx_bookmark TYPE rszw_sx_bookmark,
WS_DP_LIST     TYPE line of rszw_sx_bookmark-DP_LIST,
WS_INFOPROVIDERID TYPE rszwobj-OBJID.
sample logic for reading RSZWOBJ table ---
l_s_id_objvers-objid   = <wherever you store BOOKMARKID>.
l_s_id_objvers-objvers = 'A'.
IMPORT bookmark = l_sx_bookmark
FROM DATABASE RSZWOBJ(bm)
      ID l_s_id_objvers
      TO l_s_rszwobj.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
LOOP AT l_sx_bookmark-DP_LIST into WS_DP_LIST
      WHERE VALUE = 'DP'.
    WS_INFOPROVIDERID = WS_DP_LIST-NAME.
    EXIT.
ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.

How to get the owner name for the file in ftp using abap ?

Hi folks ,
How to get the owner name for the file in ftp using abap ? please help me very ugernt . I tried with all standard FTP commands
but doest work out me . Helping in this regard highly appreciated ...
Thanks and regards,
Swarupa Vanarchi

Hi
dont you have used the os user while calling the FTP_CONNECT FM?
Hope you are not talking about the user executing the FTP program.
Else If you are talking about the FTP file creator then its not related to abap as you can handle it by maintaining the user in file name itself.
May be i am going too far with if and elses here as your question possesses no clarity.
Plz elaborate your requirement before anybody can help.

The application name is not necessarily uniqueue! Customers may create two applications with same name in different systems/clients and transport them into the same target system/client!
You do the mapping with the query:
CL_FDT_FACTORY=>GET_INSTANCE( )->GET_QUERY()->...
There are two methods. One for mapping ID to name and one for name to ID.
There is also a sample report in package SFDT_DEMO_OBJECTS.

Unallowed RFC-XML Tag (SOAP_EINVALDOC) - Web Service using ABAP Proxy

Hi there
I am trying to consume a Web Service using ABAP Proxies. I have done the following in the system:
I configured the HTTP and HTTPS Proxy settings.
I created a package with package interfaces SAI_TOOLS and SAPPINT included under the Use Access tab.
I created the proxy classes by using the WSDL provided by the system I'm trying to interface with.
I created my HTTP destination RFC via SM59.
I configured a logical port for the proxy.
I developed the ABAP code for calling the proxy.
In the code the exception CX_AI_SYSTEM_FAULT gets raised with error message <b>"Unallowed RFC-XML Tag (SOAP_EINVALDOC)"</b> when I call the method for passing data to the destination system in the proxy class.
I had a look at SM21 and the following message was written in the log:
<b>"SOAP Runtime: SOAP Runtime exception: 111 occurred in method XP_READ_TAG of class CL_SOAP_XP at position 1
SOAP Runtime: Exception message: Unallowed RFC-XML Tag (SOAP_EINVALDOC)"</b>. I also looked at SAP Note 919886 which states that it can be dumps in the system, missing configuration or the path prefix of the RFC destination that is incorrect. I cannot find any ST22 entries.

Upload an excel file input into an itab,display in ALV using ABAP objects

Requirement:
Create a selection screen which takes an excel file as input with parameters emp id, emp name, salary, mnth, ph no.
Create a database table with the same fields.
The program needs to have two modes. Display mode and update mode.
Display mode only displays the file data in alv grid and update mode updates database table with similar parameters as above and also shows alv grid output.
task is to do using Object oriented approach. This should also have the facility to modify the cell values in ALV grid and once saved then it needs to update the database accordingly.
I have done the same functionality in a report program without using ABAP objects but finding difficulty in using object oriented approach.Please help me as i am new to abap-objects.
Thanks in advance.......

Hi,
The selection screen design and all remains the same.
Get all the detials which you need in your final internal table.
This internal table will be used to display in the ALV grid.
The approach remains the same as the normal programing.
Prepare a field catalog table and then use it along with the internal table to display in the grid.
The only change is that instead of FM you will have to make us of classes and their methods.
Firstly you will have to create a screen.
On this screen create a custom control object and give it some name. say for eg. CC_CONTAINER.
This will be a container on which the ALV grid object will be placed.
2 objects are needed to display the grid
CL_GUI_CUSTOM_CONTAINER and CL_GUI_ALV_GRID.
In the PBO of the screen first create an instance of object CL_GUI_CUSTOM_CONTAINER
CREATE OBJECT y_lobj_cont
      EXPORTING
         container_name              = 'CC_CONTAINER'

        lifetime_dynpro_dynpro_link = 5
        OTHERS                      = 6.
    IF sy-subrc NE 0.

               WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
    ENDIF.
Then create a instance of the GRID
IF y_lobj_grid IS INITIAL.
      CREATE OBJECT y_lobj_grid
        EXPORTING
          i_parent          = y_lobj_cont
         EXCEPTIONS
           error_cntl_create = 1

                   WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.

Exit Variable encapsulation using ABAP OO

Hi,
As you know standard way of development of exit variables is to isert ABAP code directy in main include of the exit.
However with a big number of exits and serveral teams working in parallel, this is not a good practice. I've herad about projects using ABAP OO to encapsulate and isolate code of every exit.
Do you have an experience with usiage of ABAP OO to code exits? Could you provide structure you use (e.g. one class for all exits with different mentods, one class for every exit etc.) with some code samples?
BTW - yes, I have read the blog /people/ed.herrmann/blog/2007/01/16/simplify-your-bw-enhancements-for-global-reporting-variables and appreciate work of its author, but this is not enough for me - I cannot import in the system custom code that I do not know what is exactly doing. I preffer to undestand better whole concept. Especially when it requires download and installation of some SAPlink plugins
Thanks in advance,
Marcin

Hi Marcin,
In the internet you can find some recommendations to modularize the code using an ABAP OO class
(e.g.http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/40ef17ee-3833-2c10-fc96-cd4a421b7e95&overridelayout=true ).
Nevertheless it is more convenient to use the following code for this issue. It allows the creation of
several function groups to support splitting the variables for different applications/projects into
different function groups. This allows to group variables together in different function groups and has the benefit that not every developer is affected e.g. by a syntax error in the class or include.

Author name changing 9.0 Pro

Using 9.0 Pro - recently had to change from XP to 7.
Initially started learning 7.0 with Account name of David - no special security.
Then as I get more knowledgeable in Win 7 and IAW recommendations I set up an "Administrator" account with PW of "Dr. XXXXX" that allows me access to everythhing, but also allows malicious folks in also. Win 7 recommendation was to also have a non-secure account for everyday less-sensitive tasks so I did this also with the PW of "Dr. XXXXX".
Naturally I want to use the Dr. XXXX in my Stickies for professional clout, but Acrobat insists on using David.
Yes, I know about the tick-mark under "properties" where I can specify that my ID in the stickie is to be my log-in name. Yes, I have tried unchecking, rebooting, re-checking, rebooting, etc. Acrobat refuses to use eith my "administrator" or my non-secure name of Dr. XXXX. Frustrating.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Neptune

Hi Bill - thanks for the response.
I am now beginning to "cone in" a bit am better able to describe the
problem:
1. As I stated at the start, I am using Acrobat 9.0 Pro and Win7
2. As I go to: Edit...preferences...commenting...making
comments...(checkbox) Always use log-in name for author name.
Whether or not this box is checked or unchecked the result is the same:
I go to Sticky Note on the taskbar, place it on the page, go to
Options...properties...general...author I find "David". Yes, I can change
the Author Name, but whether or not I further check the box, "Make
properties default" thr result is the same - that one sticky will have the
correct "Dr. XXXX" but the next sticky, as well as subsequent PDFs once
again default to "David.
3. Thanks to ***** (whose four links all quite happily referred me to the
Acrobat X page (I clearly stated 9.0 Pro) then quoted a generic OS (rather
than my clearly-stated Win 7) I finally figured out the problem when I
accessed the 9.0 Pro help in the far right lower corner of the Acrobat X
page. Dumb of me, I admit but I had tried this initially in my own program
"help" without really understanding what was happening.
SO HERE IS PART OF THE ANSWER: The overall basic "author" information
appears to reside in Edit...Preferences...Identity...Login Name (type-in
box) David. Now the fun part. I am unable to change the Log-in name and thus
am unable to change the sticky note. When I try to change the Log-in name I
get a cheery tone, a blinking box, and no was to change David to Dr. XXXX.
Well, it does seem that once I can change the ...Identity...log-in name I
should be able to change the sticky PERMANENTLY.
So I apologize if I have seemed a bit grouchy, and I do appreciate those of
you who have tried to help, but it does get frustrating when those trying to
help express a solution that uses totally unrecognized words, or do not get

Create Annotations with 'author' name tool property

Philip Cord has kindly sent me this code that allows to create annotations with the "Author" tool property (older versions than CS3 couldn't get this on script listener - only on the CS3 script listener).
Hope it helps anyone like me that can't have access anymore to CS3
var colour = new SolidColor();
colour.rgb.hexValue = 'ff00ff';
selectNote(0);
colourNote(colour);
addAuthorToNote("Author Name");
function colourNote(colour) {
var Saturation = colour.hsb.saturation;
var Brightness = colour.hsb.brightness;
var Hue =colour.hsb.hue;
var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putEnumerated( stringIDToTypeID('annotation'), charIDToTypeID('Ordn'), charIDToTypeID('Trgt') );
desc.putReference( charIDToTypeID('null'), ref );
var desc2 = new ActionDescriptor();
var desc3 = new ActionDescriptor();
desc3.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID('H   '), charIDToTypeID('#Ang'), Hue );
desc3.putDouble( charIDToTypeID('Strt'), Saturation );
desc3.putDouble( charIDToTypeID('Brgh'), Brightness);
desc2.putObject( charIDToTypeID('Clr '), charIDToTypeID('HSBC'), desc3 );
desc.putObject( charIDToTypeID('T   '), stringIDToTypeID('annotation'), desc2 );
executeAction( charIDToTypeID('setd'), desc, DialogModes.NO );
function selectNote(number) {
var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putIndex( stringIDToTypeID('annotation'), number );
desc.putReference( charIDToTypeID('null'), ref );
try{
executeAction( charIDToTypeID('Shw '), desc, DialogModes.NO );
}catch(e){}
function addAuthorToNote(Author) {
var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putEnumerated( stringIDToTypeID('annotation'), charIDToTypeID('Ordn'), charIDToTypeID('Trgt') );
desc.putReference( charIDToTypeID('null'), ref );
var desc2 = new ActionDescriptor();
desc2.putString( charIDToTypeID('Athr'), Author);
desc.putObject( charIDToTypeID('T   '), stringIDToTypeID('annotation'), desc2 );
executeAction( charIDToTypeID('setd'), desc, DialogModes.NO );
function makeAnnotation(X,Y,Width,Height) {
var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
var ref = new ActionReference();
ref.putClass( stringIDToTypeID('annotation') );
desc.putReference( charIDToTypeID('null'), ref );
var desc2 = new ActionDescriptor();
var desc3 = new ActionDescriptor();
desc3.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID('Hrzn'), charIDToTypeID('#Pxl'), X );
desc3.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID('Vrtc'), charIDToTypeID('#Pxl'), Y );
desc2.putObject( charIDToTypeID('Lctn'), charIDToTypeID('Pnt '), desc3 );
var desc4 = new ActionDescriptor();
desc4.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID('Hrzn'), charIDToTypeID('#Pxl'), Width );
desc4.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID('Vrtc'), charIDToTypeID('#Pxl'), Height );
desc2.putObject( charIDToTypeID('Sz '), charIDToTypeID('Ofst'), desc4 );
desc2.putEnumerated( stringIDToTypeID('annotType'), stringIDToTypeID('annotType'), stringIDToTypeID('annotText') );
desc.putObject( charIDToTypeID('Usng'), stringIDToTypeID('annotation'), desc2 );
executeAction( charIDToTypeID('Mk '), desc, DialogModes.NO );

This is a bit more robust (it won't fall over if you have no images open or can't find the corresponding image) I've made it so if you have the thumbnail image open it will find the mannequin image and visa versa. Save the script to your PS scripts directory. In photoshop record an action that uses the script. Stop recording! Then you can run the script as an action.
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
if (documents.length == 0)
    alert ("No documents open, dude!")
else
    var dir1 = "Mannequin";
    var dir2 = "Thumbnails";
    // call the current document
    var tempDoc = app.activeDocument;
    // get the info out of the source doc
    var fileName = tempDoc.name;
    var filePath = tempDoc.path.toString();
    var fileNameAndPath = filePath + '/' + fileName;
    var tempDir = filePath.substring(filePath.lastIndexOf("/") +1, filePath.length);
    var goCode = false;
    var docName = fileName.substring(0,fileName.length -4);
    if (tempDir == dir1)
        var otherImagePath = filePath.substring(0, filePath.lastIndexOf(dir1));
        var tempFile = decodeURI(otherImagePath + "/" + dir2 + "/" + fileName);
        goCode = true;
    if (tempDir == dir2)
        var otherImagePath = filePath.substring(0, filePath.lastIndexOf(dir2));
        var tempFile = decodeURI(otherImagePath + "/" + dir1 + "/" + fileName);
        goCode = true;
    if (tempDir != dir1 && tempDir != dir2)
        alert("Cannot find matching image.")
        goCode = false;
    if (goCode)
        //open the other image
        var fileRef = new File(tempFile)
        if (fileRef.exists)
            app.open(fileRef);
        else
            alert("Matching file does not exist.")
}// end doc check
Hope this helps.
