Help to choose field in SAP

Hi all,
        I have completed my B.E(Computers) this year. I am a fresher .Presently i m working in MIS Dept in an Automobile Company . Here everything is implemented on SAP . I m confused whether Basis or Abap will be better .Will anyone plz suggest me ,in SAP what should i choose to flourish my career.
Thanks in advance.
With Regards,
Ramiz.

Dear Ramiz,
Basis and ABAP are two different fields.
Basis: This field relates to managing the Hardware, Database, Server Sizing, Workload etc. Basis User has all the authorizations and can execute all the T. Codes in any of the SAP Solutions individually or cross-solutions.
This field is meant basically for System Administration and System Security.
ABAP: This field relates to the Coding part of the SAP system. Its a language in which codes are written and it stands for Advanced Business Application Programming. In any of the SAP solutions, there are Standard functionality which usually meet the customers' requirement. But there are scenarios where in standard functionality doesn't serve the purpose. In order to meet the specific non-standard requirements you need to write/create new or modify the existing codes.
For a graduate in Computer Engineering, i think ABAP would be a better choice as it involves regular Innovations and keeps you up to date with the latest technologies.
Where in Basis, the job involved is monotonous and the upgrade in the new technologies involved with is over a long period of time.
Hope you understand the explanation and you are the best judge of which field you want to grow in.
All the Best!!

  • Adding Search help to a field of standard transction

    hi experts,
    i m new to abap.
    my pp consultant wants that in transaction MM03, for the field on selection screen (Material) one more search help should be added. and on pressing f4 it should be displayed there with other search options.
    The search field is "(Document)-Number of the drawing that exists for this object".
    Note: To see this field run transaction MM03, enter a material and press enter then we get a screen to choose a view. choose basic data2. In the block "design drawing" there is a field for "Document".
    is it possible? if yes how much time it would take and to do it.
    how should i go about it.
    plz help.

    Hi ANNIE,
    Go through the following Procedure to add a Search help to a field of standard Transaction
    The Matchcode is replaced by search help from the version 4.6C.
    I will tell u how create the search help.
    Name of a search help
    A search help is an object of the ABAP Dictionary with which input helps
    (F4 helps) can be defined.
    There are the following types of search helps:
    o Elementary search helps implement a search path for determining the
    possible entries.
    o Collective search helps contain several elementary search helps. A
    collective search help therefore provides several alternative search
    paths for possible entries.
    o Append search helps can be used to enhance collective search helps
    delivered by SAP with customer-specific search paths without
    requiring a modification.
    The three components of the input help process described by a search
    help are the outer interface, the online behavior and the method of data
    Go to Tcode SE11. Select the search help radio button.
    Give name as ztest and click create
    There are two types of search help.
    Once is elementary search help
    & collective search help
    Choose one.
    Add the data element.
    MatchCode is replaced by search helps.
    To attach a search help to a field.
    Use this code.
    at selection-screen on value-request for source.
    progname = sy-repid.
    dynnum = sy-dynnr.
    clear value_tab.
    refresh value_tab.
    Filling the Value_tab internal table by itab2 internal table.
    loop at itab_desc.
    write itab_desc-description to value_tab.
    append value_tab.
    endloop.
    prog = sy-repid.
    no = 1000.
    clear tab.
    refresh tab.
    Building the Structure of the Seach Help.
    tab-tabname = 'FMFCTRT'.
    tab-fieldname = 'BESCHR'.
    collect tab.

  • F4 help for two fields in screen

    hello,
    I have two fields in my table control which need F4 help in the screen.
    But one F4 search exit is implemented, but it populates only one field.
    but, on clicking f4 for one field, it should populate both the fields together.
    do help me with this issue...
    Can POH in the screen populate up two fields together???

    Hi Krithika ,
    In addition to checking up the export parameters for the Search healp you will have to define the Search Help attachment also. I'll paste the SAP Help Text below but in Simple terms
    You Define a structure with the fields to be returned and define the screen elements based on that structure . So on selection the structure is returned with all values and the screen elements are in referance to structure so all values get posted in screen.
    Here is the SAP HELP part
    "" From SAP HELP
    A search help attachment is an assignment of a search help to a table, structure or data element, causing the corresponding search help to be automatically used to describe the input help process at this field when an ABAP Dictionary field is used in a screen.
    You can attach a search help as follows:
    1. Attach a search help to a structure or table field: The attached search help is available for all screen fields that refer to the table or structure field. There must be an assignment between the interface parameters of the search help and the fields of the table or structure for this type of attachment. In the input help process, this assignment results in a value transport between the corresponding fields (if they are known at least to the module pool of the screen) and the search help parameters. As for the foreign key definition, you can assign nothing, a constant or any other field (which is then sought in the module pool) to indivdiual search help parameters.
    2. Attach a search help to a table: The assigned search help is available for all screen fields for which the table is a check table. There must also be an assignment between the search help parameters and the key fields of the table for this type of assignment.
    3. Attach a search help to a data element: The attached search help is available for all screen fields that refer to the data element. If the search help is attached to a data element, an export parameter of the search help must be assigned to the data element. If the user chooses a row of the hit list in the input help, the contents of this parameter are returned in the corresponding screen field. More than one value is not returned when a search help is attached to a data element.
    The described attachments only take effect if the field was not yet assigned an input help in the screen definition. Such an assignment can be made with the mechanism PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST in the flow logic or by attaching a search help to the screen field in the attribute maintenance screen. A F4 help can also be assigned to the field in the flow logic by using VALUES or SELECT. In the latter case, the input help here behaves as if the table specified under SELECT were assigned to the field as check table.
    If more than one of the described mechanisms compete in defining the input help method of a screen field, the first one named will take effect. If none of the described mechanisms is available, the domain fixed values of the field will be used for the input help if necessary. If the domain of the field has no fixed values but has data type DATS or TIMS, the input helps that are assigned to these types are used for the input help. Otherwise there will be no input help available for the field.
    A search help attachment always belongs to the definition of the object to which the attachment is made (structure, table or data element). It is also maintained in the maintenance transaction for this object and transported with this object.

  • Creating search help for a field in AdHoc Query

    Hi
    We have created an infoset based on LDB PCH.
    (The infoset contains object type O only).
    For the object-id field the users want search help when choosing this field for selection.
    Using "start via selection screen" does not give a good solution.
    Can anyone explain how I can create search help for fields in an infoset?

  • F4 help for address field

    Hi,
    In BP_CONT component, for address field I need to provide F4 help. And the F4 should contain the addresses with separate fields as (city.street,country).On selecting the row the data should flow as concatenated manner to the address field.
    Please provide some idea to achieve this.
    Thanks.

    Hi Ginger,
    I would like to add what Vinamra has said, you need to create a search help through se11 transaction. As per your requirement you need to map address field of the selected row to different fields in UI.
    In search help we have IMPORTING(IMP) and EXPORTING(EXP) Fields or parameter.
    Lets take a simple example, suppose you have three address field house no, street and city. Now you would like to apply F4 help on CITY field so you need to choose CITY field as IMPORTING and EXPORTING parameter in your search help and other fields like HOUSE NO and STREET as EXPORTING parameter only.
    Now following code you need write in GET_V_CITY() method
    DATA:
       lt_inmap  TYPE if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>gtype_param_mapping_tab,
       ls_map    TYPE if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>gtype_param_mapping,
       lt_outmap TYPE if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>gtype_param_mapping_tab.
       ls_map-context_attr = 'STRUCT.CITY'.
       ls_map-f4_attr      = 'CITY'.
       APPEND ls_map TO: lt_inmap, lt_outmap. " map to input and out
      ls_map-context_attr = 'STRUCT.HOUSENO.     " Context node attribute
      ls_map-f4_attr      = 'HOUSE_NO'.                    "corresponding Field in search help
      APPEND ls_map TO: lt_outmap.
    ls_map-context_attr = 'STRUCT.STREET.     " Context node attribute
      ls_map-f4_attr      = 'STREET'.                     "corresponding Field in search help
      APPEND ls_map TO: lt_outmap.
      CREATE OBJECT rv_valuehelp_descriptor
        TYPE
          cl_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr
        EXPORTING
          iv_help_id                  = 'ZSH_ADDRESS'
          iv_help_id_kind             = if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>help_id_kind_name
          iv_input_mapping            = lt_inmap
          iv_output_mapping           = lt_outmap.

  • Changing the label of a field in SAP GUI

    Hello SAP Guys,
    I would like to change the label of a field in SAP GUI.
    I already did it internally because for that field the Shor Text of the label changed:
    I went to SE11, and wrote down the appropriate data element, through Translation I changed the entries of SCRTEXT_L, SCRTEXT_M and SCRTEXT_S and activated this change after saving.
    It is very strange that after making sure that the
    Short Text of that field was changed, I went to trx BP and I could see that the label didn´t change.
    I´ll appreciate any help you can give me,
    Regards,
    Efrain

    Hi Efrain,
    Can you tell me in which screen did you make the screen.
    Moreover the changes are not reflected immediately.
    What you can try is to create a new record of the transaction in which you changed the label and save the recore. After this try to close the session and reopen the transaction and this should work.
    The reason is the label on the screen are not picked up from the data element everytime but from buffer. So when you create a record this updates the database table entry and can also refresh the buffer.
    I had the same problem in BP transaction and the above solution worked.
    Let me know if this helps.

  • How to change the lenth of existing field in sap standard table

    Hi all,
    can anybody help,my requirement is, how to change the length of existing field in sap standard table....
    thanks in advance..

    Which field are you thinking of in particular?  Are you wanting to increase or decrease the length?
    Some fields are used so extensively that a change to their length will mean adjusting many tables, some of them potentially very large, and hence taking a long time to adjust.
    Some standard SAP programs expect certain fields to be of specific lengths and won't work if the length is changed.
    Some screens could cease to work.
    If you decrease length, then you could lose data.

  • How to populate custom fields in SAP standard Basic type DELFOR01(E1EDK09)

    I've a requirement to include and populate 2 custom fields in SAP standard basic type DELFOR01 and Segment E1EDK09 (it is at hierarchy level 1 ) .
    The requirement looks very simple but for this, as per my knowledge, I have to create a new  Basic type with the copy of segment E1EDK09 and attach it to outbound process code and write my own function module to populate the segments.
    It seems ok but the there are some existing codes in the user-exits for the SAP standard function module.These codes will not get triggered.(Or I've copy the user-exits code in my FM)
    Can we do it any other way to handle this kind of situation?
    Thanks in advance for your suggestions and help.

    Hi Phani,
    You have done it correctly. ECC additional data to be moved to EWM, 1. you need to enhance the CIF for master data/ bapi  to populate the data in the custom field in EWM. 2. Make your your are not enhancing only one structure. You need to do it in the CI includes so that the field is available in all the related tables/structures.
    3. The BAPI/FM which updated these tables will take care automatically to update the custom field data if the field is correctly added in all the tables.
    4. If the custom fields are added correctly and still the data is not getting saved , then need to check the mapping of the custom field and bepi extension.
    Let me know if this helps.
