What are the different functions used in sap script?

Hi,
What are the different functions used in sap script? What are the parameters used in each Function?
Regards,

he print program is used to print forms. The program retieves the necesary data from datbase tables, defines the order of in which text elements are printed, chooses a form for printing and selects an output device and print options.
Function modules in a printprogram:
When you print a form you must used the staments OPEN_FORM and CLOSE_FORM. To combine forms into a single spool request use START_FORM and END_FORM.
To print textelements in a form use WRITE_FORM. The order in which the textelements are printed, is determined by the order of the WRITE_FORM statements. Note: for printing lines in the body, you can also use the WRITE_FORM_LINES function module.
To transfer control command to a form use CONTROL_FORM.
Structure of a print program
Read data
Tables: xxx.
SELECT *
FROM xxx.
Open form printing - Must be called before working with any of the other form function modules.
Must be ended with function module CLOSE FORM
call function 'OPEN_FORM'.....
To begin several indentical forms containing different data within a single spool request, begin each form using START_FORM, and end it using END_FORM
call funtion 'START_FORM'.....
Write text elements to a window of the form
call function 'WRITE_FORM'.....
Ends spool request started with START_FORM
call funtion 'END_FORM'.....
Closes form printing

Using Standard SAP Tables in SAP Tables, clusters or functions connections

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to use Standard SAP table like MARA, MAKT.. etc. in my crystal designer. When i make a new connection using SAP tables, Cluster or Functions, these tables are not listed.
Any configuration i have to maintain to list those standard table.?
With Regards,
Balachander.S

Due to performance reasons there is a limitation regarding the number of the dispplayed table names. Once you are in the connection/table browser select a table and invoke the context menu by pressing the right mouse button. Select Options and in the options panel you can use wildcards in order to limit the results to the desired range (eg. use MA% to get a list of tables starting with MA). After you close the options panel press F5 and expand the connection entry again.

Using Function Module in SAP Script

Dear Friends,
how can i use function modules in sap scripts?. i want to use call function SPELL_AMOUNT in sap script?
in text element using perform statement hw can i use?
Regarding i search related articles but, i am not getting any solution.
Plz help Me.
Regards,
K.S.Kannan

Dear Kanan,
You can do it in two ways:
Way1
your Amount will be in some variable say VAR_AMT1 and want in words in field say VAR_SPELL.
In your report program you can use the function module SPELL_AMOUNT and pass the VAR_AMT1 to it and you will get the words in VAR_SPELL.
So now in your sap script you can use the variable VAR_SPELL to print the amount in words.
we normally use this above method.
WAY2
You are inside Sap script and you can write the following code in the sap Script window.
/: PERFORM AMT_TEXT IN PROGRAM ZF_REPORT USING &VAR_AMT1& CHANGING &VAR_SPELL&
/: ENDPERFORM
In the Tag Column when you press F4 you can see various symbols like
/: = ( / /= /( /: /* /E
. Select
In the program ZF_REPORT (any report) you should have the perform AMT_TEXT where you should use the function module SPELL_AMOUNT to convert the amount into words.
Hope its Clear.

Sap function used in crystal- date parameter issue

have a function developed in sap and it is using date parameters in the function
i can run the function in sap and retrieve records
when i create a report from the function and create my date parameter to use in the record selection
and i enter my parameter values to run the report, it doenst retrieve any records
i have hardcoded dates
i am using this in the record selection
if hasvalue({?Run Date}) then {?Run Date} else currentdate
any ideas?

Actually, what are you returning? In your record selection, what date are you trying to filter? Set your formula equal to whatever you want to return in the report:
if (not hasvalue({?Run Date})) then REPORT FIELD = currentdate else REPORT FIELD = {?Run Date}

How to code a predifined function module in sap ,in se37.

can any one tell me how to code a predifined function module in sap ,in se37.it's an immediate requirement.if u give a brief description it'll do.

Hi Henry,
There are two possible ways in which I can interpret your question.
1. You want to create a new Function Module in SE37. you will have to refer to the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/d1/801e9a454211d189710000e8322d00/frameset.htm">Function Builder</a> tutorial for that.
2. You want to use an existing function module in your program. In the code of your program in SE38, click the button <i>Pattern</i>. On the pop-up, give the name of the function module that you wish to use in your program.

Can i call a function module of SAP?

Hi, i have a question... Can i call a function module of SAP... I need print a document from a device, can i call the function module of SAP in order that me it prints it?
Thanks,

Hi Victor,
you can use the GenericSync Example of the MDK. This calls the Module to verify the user directly. Generic Sync is exactly for that purpose: call a BADI directly and no usage of SyncBO. Be aware, that you - out of the box- sync your app data as well at that moment, because a sync runs both - generic and smartsync. Even worse: even when you have nothing to sync in Generic Sync - so nothing to print - it will call the function module for generic sync as long as it is registered.
Well, anyway, this is the way to call a function module separate.
If it works with you rparticular print module? I have no idea, but if this is a normal function module - well, it should be ok.
Hope this helps.

Oliver

Possibility to execute Acrobat Pro's "Combine files into PDF" function from within SAP?

Good day.
Presently, a company uses Acrobat Pro to manually combine files such as *.pdf, *.jpg, *.doc, which have been downloaded from SAP's Document Management System, into one pdf file. I would like to know if it is possible to automatically execute Acrobat Pro's "Combine files into PDF" function from within SAP (ECC 6.0) application system. I'm wondering if this could be achieved from a program via OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) or RFC (remote function call).
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and inputs.

Yes, you can combine PDF files via IAC/COM methods.

Use of SAP DMS & SAP Archive Link both together

Dear DMS Experts,
I am little bit new to DMS and have very less idea about functionalities and capabilities of SAP DMS & Archive Link.
I have got few questions:
1. Is it possible to use both SAP DMS & SAP Archive link togther.
For example, there are certain objects like GRN, Invoice, Employee etc which are not supported in standard DMS.
However, they are supported in archive link.
But at the same time, there is requirement of setting and resetting of some statuses of the documents attached with PM notification or with PR / PO. This functionality is available with SAP DMS.
So I want to know, is it possible to use SAP archive link for few objects and SAP DMS for other objects.
2. In case of SAP archive link configuration, we need to define link between Object Type, Document type and content repository
in node "Edit Links" under "Basic Customizing" under "ArchiveLink".
Here we can not use all the content repository which we have created normally. But we can use only limited content repository ID.
How does system decides, which content repository id can be used.? Where can i define that.?
3. With SAP archive link, can i store my documents in the same content repository in which I am storing my all the documents with SAP DMS. I mean to say, both the SAP DMS & Archive link, can share the same content repository.
We are having a seperate content server and requirement is to store all the documents in content server only.
Would request you all to please help.
Thanks & Regards,
Mihir Popat

..is it possible to use SAP archive link for few objects and SAP DMS for other objects...
Yes,you may use Archivelink for static documents that would be required purely for reference while DMS can be configured to handle documents that are more dynamic in nature (that require status change,version,revisions et-al)
..both the SAP DMS & Archive link, can share the same content repository.We are having a seperate content server and requirement is to store all the documents in content server only...
Yes,you may store DMS and Archivelink documents can reside on the same Content Server.Content repository is a logical area/partition,hence you may create one content repository for DMS and another for Archivelink(on the same Content Server).

Hi Vijay,
We are facing the same issue.
Interestingly
From program's code only we are facing this issue.
If we display the program and Execute (Direct processing), it is working fine.
Can you please share how you resolved this issue.
Thanks

Is ABAP expression FORM - PERFORM can be used in SAP BI 7.0 transformation

Hello
Is ABAP expression FORM - PERFORM can be used in SAP BI 7.0 transformations or method odf class is a recommended approach?
Thanks

SAP BI 7.x Transformations use OO ABAP where the logic that you enter into the tranformational routines (Start Routine, Characteristic Routines and End Routine) are inside METHODS. PERFORM and FORM are procedural-based ABAP and cannot be used in METHODS.
CLASS-METHOD and Function Modules are your best bets for processing outside of the transformational routine. As for performance, we use both and haven't found any signicant difference between the two (our custom Function Modules usually perform only slight better than our custom METHODS).

Cross-company code functionality using Idoc type FIDCCP02

Hello,
I have a problem I need to use an IDoc to create incoming invoices from a legacy system, but there are 2 functionalities that need to exist.
1.- Extended withholding taxes.
2.- Cross-company code.
I have been using the basic type FIDCCP02, because it was easy to use extended withholding taxes.
But now the functional team requested us to implement the functionality Cross-company code.
I did some test using ACC_INVOICE_RECEIPT03, where just specifying 2 different company codes at item level, SAP will create 2 different invoices one for each company code) ,
The problem here is that I need both functionality, but only use 1 Idoc type. Do you know how can I solve this problem??

Imelda ,
I am also trying to use FIDCCP02 Idoc for Cross-Company code functionality , and we are not able to do it ..
I saw this message in SDN posted by you last year but it was not answered , hence was wondering if you were at some point of time able to get any answer on this one OR did you find any solution by yourself on this issue.
I would also like to use Cross-company code functionality using FIDCCP02 , so please let me know if you have anything on this one .
Would appreciate your reply .
Thanks,
