FM table_compress obsolete ?

I find TABLE_COMPRESS is obsolete in Netweaver 7.0, what will be alternate fm for this ?
PS: I know being obsolete , but SAP is using hundreds of programs.
So please don't suggest to use this.
My requirement is i am converting a list_from_memory (output list) to PDF.

Hi,
Pls try to use the CL_ABAP_GZIP. In this we have method called Compress_text.
Check out this link on it's usage
Fm TABLE_COMPRESS

  • What is the replacement for fm table_compress in ECC6

    Hi ,
    I am doing the ABAP remediationn from 4.7 to ECC6. Can you please let me know how to replace the obsolete function module TABLE_COMPRESS. As per the threads in SDN I came to know that there is a class availabe CL_ABAP_GZIP.  But I am not clear how to make use of this. Do we need to implement any OSS note for this.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    No note needed, CL_ABAP_GZIP is available in ECC 6 (more precisely in NetWeaver 7.0 systems). Search forum for examples.

  • Obsolate statement for function module TABLE_COMPRESS

    Hi all,
    What is the alternate function module for TABLE_COMPRESS?
    This is going fine in 4.7 version.
    But in ECC 6.0, if we use this function module we r getting SLIN error (Obsolate statements) .
    How can we rectify this SLIN error?
    So we have to use another funtion module for the same purpose.
    Can any one help on this?
    Rewards to all.
    Thanks & Regards
    Anu.

    Hello,
    This Function Module belongs to the Function Group SYST. I really doubt if this is going to be made obsolete without providing an alternative. In such a case there would almost certainly have been an OSS Note. However, I could not find any OSS note for this.
    Moreover, the Function Module doesn't have "obsolete" flag set if you see from SE37. Therefore it must be really safe to use this function module in your program.
    Still, I will try to get a confirmation for this.

  • Urg. Replacement for the FM's TABLE_COMPRESS & SAPWL_STATREC_READ_FILE

    We are Upgrading Ecc4.7 to Ecc6.
    We found that TABLE_COMPRESS and
    SAPWL_STATREC_READ_FILE are Obsolete.
    Please suggest the Replacement for these Function Modules

    Sandhya,
    As Vasu suggested you can use class <b>cl_abap_gzip</b>
    try.
    call method cl_abap_gzip=>compress_text
      exporting
        text_in                     = xsccpvapitem
      importing
        gzip_out                   = it_attach2
        gzip_out_len             = 255.
    endtry.

  • 1933985     NF-e new layout 3.10 - Versão Obsoleta

    Caros,
    Estou com uma dúvida em relação a aplicação da nota 1933985 - NF-e new layout 3.10.
    Há 2 meses aplicamos completamente  a nota 1933985, porém ao baixarmos novamente esta note via SNOTE, seu status não está mais como "Completamente Aplicada" e sim como "Aplicada Versão Obsoleta". Sendo assim, gostaria de saber se o correto neste caso, é voltar o status de implementação desta nota e executar a SNOTE novamente para ela? Ou se há alguma sugestão para este caso?
    Temos outra nota na mesma situação e não temos certeza se podemos voltar seu status para executarmos novamente a SNOTE.
    Muito Obrigada

    Olá Cristiane.
    Boa tarde.
    A última versão lançada para esta nota 1933985 , é a versão 9, do dia 22 de Agosto de 2014.
    Acredito não ser possível implementar apenas a diferença entre as versões. Então, tente verificar qual versão foi implementada em seu sistema e atente aos detalhes de mudanças entre as versões, como descrito na nota.
    O que acontece é que algumas outras notas foram inseridas como pré requisitos, assim como parte da solução e dos textos, mudaram ao longo das versões.
    Então, verifique a possibilidade de reverter a sua aplicação feita anteriormente para proceder, desde o ínicio, com a última versão (9).
    Atenciosamente,
    Felipe Silveira

  • HT2404 Hello totally new to mac computer,i need to know is the mac G5 obsolete,i have a chance to get one at a cheap price but it does not come with the os,where would i get os and which one? Thanks for any feedback!

     

    No way for us to know for sure (without similar product/issues) but the
    HP Support site suggests that with the current Mavericks OS X 10.9.x
    their drivers should be available through Apple Software Updates:
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/HP-Product-Support-using- Apple-Software-Updates-for-new-OS-X/td-p/3086229
    However that may be limited to certain models of printers or scanners that
    already had been known to be working under OS X as of that date in a
    prior OS X (such as 10.8.5, 10.7.5, 10.6.8, etc) with earlier product support.
    •Drivers and Downloads for Printers, Scanners, & More - HP Support:
    http://www8.hp.com/us/en/drivers.html
    A link to Mac OS X Support's List Printer & Scanner software (HP+ Other)
    •OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download
    HP Officejet t65 All-in-One Printer
    {According to this page, your old printer has only Windows & Linux drivers
    but you may or may not look into third-party driver support through such
    sites as Gimp; though unlikely to be available with Mavericks, or Yosemite}
    •HP Support Forum - Home:
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/?lang=en&cc=us
    You may be able to get a deal on a new printer as they are rapidly obsoleted.
    PS: edit to add... there was a Gutenprint driver reference for T65 Printer here:
    Mac OS X 10.5: Included printer drivers
    Yet a driver for ancient Leopard 10.5.x may not be suitable for Mavericks 10.9.x
    but the Gutenprint lead may be helpful to locate whatever may exist; or not.

    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Old Version Script Obsoletion

    I have flash 5. I want to continue using it. (I cannot afford
    to buy a new version)
    I am used to using "tell target" and other obsolete scripting
    tools.
    If I make a website with flash 5 old school scripts, will the
    Internet continue to play these old code?
    Will the current, and future flash players support these old
    scripts?

    Yes, new players include support for movies published under
    older versions. The only problem is taking your old fla files and
    publishing them with a newer version. That's when you have to
    update your code.

  • [OBSOLET]Automatically logging in different sessions in KDM via kdmctl

    I recently found comfort in KDE, so I try to use KDM on my mediacenter to manage both, a KDE session, as well as an XBMC session.
    What I want to do: Log in as $USER on two different sessions, one with XBMC and one with the KDE desktop automatically on boot without the need to provide a password.
    After playing a bit with the control center, I came as far as automatically logging in a user and/or allowing a user a passwordless login. This is a good first step. I cannot, however, find a way to define the session it should use, the control center setting for auto login will always use the default session (which is the last session I manually logged in to). There is no way to configure multiple sessions at once in the controlcenter.
    So I looked for cli tools and discovered kdmctl. It has a number of features, for example will "kdmctl activate :1" jump to the display :1. Another step closer to my goal is "kdmctl reserve", which opens a new login prompt on the next free $DISPLAY. Now it seems like kdmctl is very session-sensitive. I need root access to call it from a tty, while a normal user is sufficient inside a KDM managed X session. Calling kdmctl in a tty will give me more options, than calling it in X, even with sudo. Upon "# kdmctl" in a tty, I can see resume, manage and login options, which are not there in a KDE session.
    What I have so far:
    1. I can use the KDE control center to log in a user automatically on :0, but I cannot specify the session (Plasma, XBMC, etc.).
    2. I can run "# kdmctl reserve" to create a new login prompt at :1
    3. I can login to :1 by issuing "# kdmctl login :1 now USERNAME PASSWORD", but only from a tty (which would be sufficient, as I intend to write a systemd unit).
    What I cannot do:
    1. I cannot specify the session. I have found http://docs.kde.org/stable/de/kde-works … opics.html, but it is not really helpful. It says I need "[session_arguments]" in the "format of printf specified .dmrc". I assume this is how I could specify my session, but I cannot find any documentation. Maybe I'm using the wrong keywords. There is neither a man page for kdmrc nor for dmrc. This is what I'd like to have some help with.
    EDIT: It's not actually solved but has become obsolete. KDE4 is fading away and, according to the wiki, KDE5/plasma5 prefers SDDM. Besides that, I stopped using KDE, stopped switching sessions, stopped working on this a long time ago.

  • How to find the Obsolete function module in ECC 6.0

    Hi Guys,
    How we can find the all obsolete function in ECC 6.0, is any T-code to finding the obsolete function modules, or any other way to find.
    Could you please help me.
    Thanks,
    Gourisankar.

    Hi Gouri,
    If you are looking at determining whether a single FM is obsolete or not is by this method:
    Go to FM in SE37 -> Goto Attributes Tab -> General Data section -> look above the Edit Lock field ... where SAP places the release status and date of the FM, if the FM is obsolete, the text Function Obsolete appears
    This is one way of finding out one FM @ a time
    However if you want to check on a mass scale, I dont have a SAP system here hence cant confirm, however, all FMs are stored in TFDIR database table. Please scroll through the fields of the DB table to check whether any field relates to release status or the like. If it does, then from SE16, you can put the value corresponding to "Obsolete" in the field and run to check all FMs.

  • How to replace obsolete download function module in ECC6.0?

    Hi Experts,
    How to replace obsolete download function module in ECC6.0?
    Thanks,
    Adi.

    Hi,
    DOWNLOAD is obsolete FM in ECC 6. To get the same functionality , we need to use
    CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_SAVE_DIALOG  method (It provides the File selection feature)
    and
    GUI_DOWNLOAD function module.(It downloads the internal table from program to presentation server)
    Please see the example below:
    Example:
    *CALL FUNCTION 'DOWNLOAD'
              EXPORTING
                   FILENAME            = p_filename
                   FILETYPE            = ‘DAT’
              TABLES

                   UNKNOWN_ERROR       = 5
                   OTHERS              = 6.
    *End of deletion CH01-
    Replacement Method for above code:

  • Keynote storing obsolete format data, and possible connection to crashes

    An “Ah ha!” moment with Keynote leading to a question about how it stores information regarding themes and fonts, and whether this is a bug in Keynote and/or if there is something that end users can do as a work-around. These points came to my attention today when I exported from Keynote to PowerPoint to share a (very inferior ) version of my presentation with a colleague. Note that the Keynote file I exported from has not exhibited any problems related to error messages or crashes.
    (1) Prior to making the export, I changed all slides to Keynote’s standard out-of-the-box “Gradient” theme since I had used Keynote Theme Park animated “Global Cool” theme (www.keynotethemepark.com). However, even though no slide any longer contained the KTP theme, in doing the export Keynote created a media folder of movies that contained the animated KTP theme. So Keynote is apparently storing obsolete file data and not cleaning up its house after the file is changed.
    (2) Prior to making the export, I changed all slides to use only fonts that I knew to be on my colleague’s PC. However, when I looked under the “Contents” tab of the resulting Powerpoint file’s “Properties” info, I discovered that Powerpoint was listing all the fonts that had been in the original Keynote file but that I had long since changed to Arial and Arial Narrow. Checking through the Powerpoint file slide by slide confirmed that the original fonts do not appear. Again, it appears that Keynote is storing obsolete information.
    MY QUESTION: I am wondering if what I discovered today about Keynote’s “elephant memory” is indicating a bug of some sort, and if so, is there a reasonable work-around for end users that will enable us to avoid having files bloated with obsolete data.
    Also, I am wondering if this storing of obsolete file data could be related to the ”missing file” error reports and Keynote crashes that others have noted in this forum and that I addressed in my previous post. The solution I had discovered was a file level work-around, but the question remained as to what had brought it on.
    BTW, this is with Keynote 3.0.0 because I reinstalled Keynote recently thinking that this procedure might resolve the crashing problem described in my previous post to this forum; the reinstall didn’t, but the problem was solved at a file level in the manner described in my previous post. Now that I finally have time tonight to upgrade again to Keynote 3.02, when I run Software Update expecting to see the Keynote 3.02 upgrade listed, it’s not there. Hmmmmm.… I know I can get it from Apple’s download site but since the site lists two downloads (3.0.1v2 and 3.0.2), I thought it’d be better to let software update manage this process. Now I’m not so sure.

    Thanks, dook and Kyn. Not only does that seem to resolve the issues, but deleting unused master slides dramatically drops the size of the exported presentation (e.g. to 20%).
    I wish the Apple Keynote team would provide a way to more intelligently delete unused themes so as to make it easier to email presentations. It seems to me that theere should be a setting available in the export process where one could do this. The only way I could see to do it was one master slide at a time. Please tell me if I am missing something here.
    I also wish we could export just a range of slides, e.g. from # to #, or slides selected in the Navigator/sorter/organizer.

  • I've kept the old version od imovie (6.0.4) through three migrations and now have it on a mac 10.6.8. i prefer it to the new one, but it has recently begun to give me serious problems. is it becoming obsolete?

    i've always thought imovie 6.0.4 was the superior product. i've used it edit semi-profesional films. its easy and intuitive, and always gives you what you want, while looking profesional. i have final cut pro, which i use when i have more time or the project is of more importance, but i still love the ease and simplicity of the old imovie. i've migrated it over 4 computers and it has worked fine till about a week ago. it now takes up to 20 minutes to load, frequently drops out. leaves phantom and relic snipets of audio. is there any way i can fix this problem and keep my beloved imovie 6.0.4? can download it from a third party? are the issues because the .app is going obsolete or are there just new bugs on my computer? i've recently uninstalled all my adobe products and put them onto another computer, could that be it? help me obi won, you're my only hope!

    klaus 1,
    thanx for the reply. i'm on a 10.6.8 snow leopard.
    yes, it did arrive via migration, but had been working well for over 2 years, and two years before that on a 10.5, where it had migrated from a mac book g4 where i used it regularly. through all that time and migration, not a single problem
    i can't pinpoint the exact 'original' problem, because i'm currently working on two different editing jobs (one serious [a kickstarted campaign] the other, not so much, for my son's pre-school graduation, i was making the school a little video for their website). so during this time, i'm using a combo of; imovie, adobe premiere and final cut pro. and i've had so much pulsing through my computer (and external hard drives), literally hundreds of gigs of HD video, tons of tiff and jpeg files, and much mp4 and aif music files. i often had three or four major applications all open and running simultaneously, so who knows how this all started. but one day, i flipped open my mac, and just clicked on imovie, not a file mind you, but just the icon, and it took like 2 minutes to load (usually 5-10 seconds). i made sure all other apps and windows were closed and tried it again - now 3 minutes to load and it drops out mid edit. and it just kept getting worse.
    AND THEN, AFTER IWROTE ABOVE 'I  -  ME' MADE THINGS, MUCH, MUCH WORSE.
    i was aware that there is an old quicktime 7 that gets installed in a 10.6.8 to supplement the newer quicktime x and the various other programs, including imovie, that still use qt 7. i was a bit confused why there even is an icon for qt 7 in the utilities folder, since you never open it directly, it just works behind the scenes. but whatever.
    after imovie started acting up, i looked up to see what programs that imovie uses, thinking the problem might be there and found an article that said there was actually an even earlier version of quicktime, (qt 7.0.3 i think) that was specifically made for imovie, but there hadn't been enough major changes in qt to bother imovie, but (there is always a but) there were changes coming that would begin to affect imovie. since the article (i wish i could link it here, sorry) was a year old, i  thought maybe the damaging upgrade was already made. so i found this older version of quicktime (the 7.0.3 version) and tried to install it, thinking it would fix my issue, i'd finish the edit, then delete it. but when i tried to open it, it told me, a newer version of of qt was on my computer and i couldn't install it. so very impulsively and idiotically i uninstalled quicktime 7, thinking i would just reinstall it later. but that's when everything went wrong.
    SO I MUST STRESS THIS TO EVERYONE! NEVER NEVER NEVER UNINSTALL QUICKTIME.
    apparently quick time x is preinstalled into the 10.6.8, in such a way, that its interconnected with like 12 other programs, that will all begin to act erradictly after it is uninstalled. then those 12 programs will each affect 5 more and soon, your computer, then your hard-drive is blown. i tried reinstalling quicktime, but could not. i tried every conceivable way, but could not even find it in any folder. it was gone. and so was qt x.
    so when i uninstalled quicktime 7, it affected quick time x in such a way that it stopped working, then could not be found. then all h**l broke loose. every program began to run slowly and started dropping out. functionally, the computer became so slow, it was useless. even typing became slow. i still did not know about the 'never uninstall quick time rule' yet, so i looked for the problem else where.
    i opened up activity monitor, and there were no programs eating up cpu, nothing that suspicious. but when i switched activity monitor to show usage in a descending order, i saw kernel task was using between 500-700% cpu. my fans started running furiously and my battery life dropped in half. i would switch off the computer, start it with reset, things would go well for a half hour, then kernel would spike, the computer would get red hot and the fans would go as fast as propellers. since the kickstarter campaign i was working on was on deadline, i had to keep working. so i went out and bought a laptop stand that allows airflow under the computer and has its own fan to cool the computer, that worked for about a day. but since the fan on the stand ran on power from the usb of my computer, my battery life went from very good, to completely dead. nothing. accidentally unplug the cord for a millisecond second, and the computer turns off. when i restart, the time is set to the day and time i bought the computer, and would undo my internet, and i'd have to reset my whole connection.
    i spent twelve straight hours, through the night, using recovery programs, like pacifist, stellar phoenix, and others, but could not get quick time back. finally (like 4 hours ago) i called apple, and although i have no warranty or apple care, they took my call and we tried some things, which didn't work.
    i had already run disk utility and exhausted all other options. and i was told by apple that since my computer was preloaded (no discs) i could not, erase and reboot, which wasn't really an option anyway.
    so apple being the best run company in the country, sends me a new down loadable version of imovie, quick time 7 and quick time ten.
    it hasn't arrived yet, but how cool is that?
    i have to say though, i'm a bit worried about reinstalling by disc and have no real guarantee that everything will return to normal.
    not to mention my battery is dead and snow leopard gives you no way of getting to it. it has to be replaced at an official apple certified store.
    so lesson here, never, ever, never, uninstall quicktime. i hope no one else makes this mistake.
    thanx and good luck.

  • I have obsolete computers attached to my appleid when I try to add the new computers to my itunes store and purchases to keep all data updated and together....and not have to repurchase.  I had a fire...thus, old computers are gone and I cannot unauthoriz

    I have obsolete computers and devices attached to my appleid.  I cannot deauthorize them as they are gone!!!  (Had a fire and had to replace all tech systems)  Because I spent alot of monies on my purchases, it would be nice to be able to combine all these items and not have to repurchase them.  How can I update the current number of computers and correct ipods, ipads and iphones together; and get rid of all old computers and ipods, iphones that are authorized under the appleid I have always used.  I have asked this question before, but received no support or answers.  I do have icloud and mobileme, but cant sychonize them either. 
       I am also seriously considering purchasing a mac, and no longer using the windows pc\s as too many tech difficulties arise when I tackle complicated projects regarding DVD and moving making.  However, I still require pc software for my work.  Will my current backup network system convert easily?  Can it be converted?  Will I require a tech and if so, how much will this cost?  I have recently invested a large sum into creating a network and backup system that has yet to be working as it should.  Unfortuneately it has left me with very little left to try to convert to the mac systems entirely.  Please answer my questions in a language that I can understand.....as this problem is affecting my household, organization and office techniques.  Would like to take care of this problem once and for all.  Mac seems to work with my creative desires much better.  Will await your response.....Thank you.

    If you no longer have the computer(s) you want to deauthorise,
    Log in to iTunes,  go to "view your account info" on the itunes store,  deauthorise all five, (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months)  and then re-authorize your current Computer(s) one at a time.

  • How do I remove an obsolete e-mail address of a friend (not a whole account)

    People change their provider and get a new e-mail address. From some people I have 3 addresses but 2 are obsolete. I can't remember which ones. So I want to remove the old addresses, not a whole e-mail account.
    If I send a new e-mail to a friend and I have typed part of my friends name, I don't want to see obsolete addresses as options. I only want to see 1 correct address.
    If your answer is something like "Go to the Adress Book", please do tell me - exactly - where this Address Book is and how I will be able to edit and save it.
    I have Thunderbird 31.5.0.
    Thank you.
    Frans1.

    All suggestions come from your address books. You are going to have to find the old addresses and edit or remove then.
    You have two address books by default. The personal and the collected books. Check them both and any other books you may have created.
    There is a button to open the address book window.
