Edited by: user13488971 on Dec 15, 2010 6:15 PMYou sound like you're coming from a procedural programming backround, as did I ... as did a lot of us. Sounds like you are thinking of these two as a main and a sub program. If not, I apologize, and promptly bow out. But if so, don't think like that in Java (or any OOPs based language). What you want to do is think "class", not program. A Java "file" is only loosely a program, in the more traditional sense. It can contain more than one class - though only one top level public class. Classes both within and outside each java "file" (test1.java, for instance) can create instances of other classes and call their methods - as others just explained. There are many caveats to this, but that's the gist of it.

How to call a Method in a Program?

Hello,
I am very new to the ABAP world. I have been given a task to call a method if_hrbas_plain_infotype_access~read_single from the class CL_HRBAS_PLAIN_INFOTYPE_ACCESS in a program to see if we can use it to display some employee information. I don't know how to call a method in a program. Can somebody please provide me some pseudo code or instructions?
Thanks.

Hi Shan,
here is the code to call a method. while calling the method Instance as 'r_info' which is the type reference to class as specified.
pass the values to exporting parameters plvar,otype,objid...etc according to the requirement
infotypes: 0002.   " creates an internal table p0002.

How to call Operating System commands / external programs from within APEX

Hi,
Can someone please suggest how to call Operating Systems commands / external programs from within APEX?
E.g. say I need to run a SQL script on a particular database. SQL script, database name, userid & password everything is available in a table in Oracle. I want to build a utility in APEX where by when I click a button APEX should run the following
c:\oracle\bin\sqlplusw.exe userud/password@database @script_name.sql
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Guys,
I have reviewed the option of using scheduler and javascript and they do satisfy my requirements PARTIALLY. Any calls to operating system commands through these features will be made on the server where APEX is installed.
However, here what I am looking at is to call operating systems programs on client machine. For example in my APEX application I have constructed the following strings of commands that needs to be run to execute a change request.
sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script1.sql
sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script2.sql
sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script3.sql
sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script4.sql
What I want is to have a button/link on the APEX screen along with these lines so that when I click that link/button this entire line of command gets executed in the same way it would get executed if I copy and paste this command in the command window of windows.
Believe me, if I am able to achieve what I intend to do, it is going to save a lot of our DBAs time and effort.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi vijay,
     To call a program in another program you have to use the Keyword <b>Submit</b>.
EX; Report zprg.
      SUBMIT zprg1.
   So, where you require a program you can call that program by this keyword.

How to sent text from my C# WinForm program to another program - where the cursore is

hi
how to sent text from my C# WinForm program to another program - where the cursore is
for example: i have in my program label that contain "ABC" , when i press 'Z'
the ABC will Appears where the cursore is standing.
how to do it ?
what to look for ?
thanks

Hi E_Gold,
You'll need to:
1) Bring the app to the front
2) SendKeys to the app
This code will send "ABC" to MS Word:
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
// Send the keys 'ABC' to MS Word:
SendKeysToApp("word", "ABC");
private void SendKeysToApp(string appName, string keys)
if (BringAppToFront(appName))
SendKeys.Send(keys);
[DllImport("User32.dll")]
private static extern void SwitchToThisWindow(IntPtr hWnd, bool fAltTab);
private bool BringAppToFront(string processName)
IntPtr hWnd = HWnd(processName);
if (hWnd != new IntPtr(0))
SwitchToThisWindow(hWnd, true);
return true;
else
return false;
private IntPtr HWnd(string processName)
IntPtr hwnd = new IntPtr(0);
using (Process process = ProcessGet(processName))
if (process != null)
try
IntPtr h = process.MainWindowHandle;
hwnd = h;
catch
if (hwnd != new IntPtr(0))
return hwnd;
return hwnd;
public Process ProcessGet(string processNameToGet)
if (processNameToGet == "")
return null;
Process[] processes = Process.GetProcesses();
foreach (Process process in processes)
if (process.ProcessName.IndexOf(processNameToGet, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase) != -1)
return process;
return null;
For info on sending special keys such as "Enter", so this page on MS website:
SendKeys Class
Hope this helps.
Thanks, Andy

Importing internal table from one program to another program

Hi everybody,
i have one small doubt.
i am using submit statement and passing the values from this program to another program selection screen. in that program logic is written.In that program one internal table values are being exported to the memory id of that program. now i have to import that internal table values into my program by using import statement. i am using the following syntax
import itab from menory id 'program name'.
but i am getting an error saying program name is unknown.
what is the exat syntax for this .
thanking you,
giri.

hi,
check these statements.
IMPORT - Get data
Variants:
1. IMPORT obj1 ... objn FROM DATA BUFFER f.
2. IMPORT obj1 ... objn FROM INTERNAL TABLE itab.
2. IMPORT obj1 ... objn FROM MEMORY.
3. IMPORT obj1 ... objn FROM SHARED MEMORY itab(ar) ID key.
4. IMPORT obj1 ... objn FROM SHARED BUFFER itab(ar) ID key.
5. IMPORT obj1 ... objn FROM DATABASE dbtab(ar) ID key.
6. IMPORT obj1 ... objn FROM DATASET dsn(ar) ID key.
7. IMPORT obj1 ... objn FROM LOGFILE ID key.
8. IMPORT DIRECTORY INTO itab FROM DATABASE dbtab(ar) ID key.
9. IMPORT (itab) FROM ... .
In some cases, the syntax rules that apply to Unicode programs are different than those for non-Unicode programs. For more details, see Storing Cluster Tables.
Variant 1
IMPORT obj1 ... objn FROM DATA BUFFER f.
Extras:
1. ... = f (for each object to be imported)
2. ... TO f (for each object to be imported)
3. ... ACCEPTING PADDING
4. ... ACCEPTING TRUNCATION
5. ... IGNORING STRUCTURE BOUNDARIES
6. ... IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS
7. ... REPLACEMENT CHARACTER c
8. ... IN CHAR-TO-HEX MODE
9. ... CODE PAGE INTO f1
10. ... ENDIAN INTO f2
The syntax check performed in an ABAP Objects context is stricter than in other ABAP areas.
See You Cannot Use Implicit Field Names in Clusters.
Effect
Imports the data objects obj1 ... objn from the data buffer declared. The data buffer must be of type XSTRING . The data objects obj1 ... objn can be fields, structures, complex structures, or tables. The system imports all the data that has been stored in the data buffer f using the EXPORT ... TO DATA BUFFER statement and is listed here. It also checks that the structure used in the IMPORT statement matches the one in the EXPORT statement.
The Return Code is set as follows:
SY-SUBRC = 0:
The existing data objects in the data cluster specified were imported. The rest remain unchanged. (In some circumstances, this may mean that no data objects were imported).
SY-SUBRC = 4:
The data objects could not be imported. The contents of all the objects remain unchanged.
Addition 1
... = f (for each object to be imported)
Addition 2
... TO f (for each object to be imported)
Effect
The object is stored in the field f.
Addition 3
... ACCEPTING PADDING
Effect
This addition allows you to append new fields to the end
of structures, sub-structures, and internal tables. The IMPORT statement fills the additional fields with initial values; make existing fields (C, N, X, P, I1, and I2) longer; map character-type fields to STRING-type fields; or to map byte-type fields to XSTRING-type fields.
Addition 4
... ACCEPTING TRUNCATION
Effect
This addition allows you to shorten the last CHAR
fields, or to omit the last component at the top level. (Until Release 4.6, you could do this without using an addition).
Addition 5
... IGNORING STRUCTURE BOUNDARIES
Effect
This addition means that only the fragment sequence is
relevant - that is, that any sub-structures match. If you use this addition, the system ignores any alignment changes necessitated by Unicode - such as inserting named includes.
You cannot use this addition with either addition 3 (enlarge structure) or addition 4 (shorten structure), since it specifies that structure and include boundaries are to be ignored.
From Release 6.10 onwards, the include information is stored in datasets, so that the system can also check that includes match - that is, that sub-structures and includes (named or unnamed) are treated equally. When data is imported in a Release prior to 6.10, includes are not checked.
Addition 6
...IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS
Effect
This addition prevents the system from triggering a
runtime error, if an error occurs when the character set is converted. '#' is used as a replacement character.
Addition 7
... REPLACEMENT CHARACTER c
Effect
The replacement character is used if a particular
character cannot be converted when the character set is converted.
This addition can only be used in conjunction with addition 6.
Addition 8
... IN CHAR-TO-HEX MODE
Effect
Not all character-type fields are converted. To convert
a field, you must create a field (or structure) that is identical to the exported field or structure, except that all its character-type components must be replaced with hexadecimal fields.
You can only use this addition in Unicode programs, to allow you to import camouflaged binary data as single-byte characters.
Moreover, you cannot use this addition in conjunction with the additions 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7.
Addition 9
... CODE PAGE INTO f1
Effect
The code page of the exported data is stored in the
character-type field f1 - for example, to analyze data that has been imported with the IN CHAR-TO-HEX MODE addition.
Addition 10
... ENDIAN INTO f2
Effect
The byte order (LITTLE or BIG) of the
exported data is stored in the field f2 - for example, to analyze data that has been imported with the IN CHAR-TO-HEX MODE addition. The field f2 must have the type ABAP_ENDIAN, which is defined in the type group ABAP. For this reason, the type group ABAP must be included in the ABAP program using a TYPE-POOLS statement.
Variant 2
IMPORT obj1 ... objn FROM INTERNAL TABLE itab.
Extras:
1. ... = f (for each object to be imported)
2. ... TO f (for each object to be imported)
3. ... ACCEPTING PADDING
4. ... ACCEPTING TRUNCATION
5. ... IGNORING STRUCTURE BOUNDARIES
6. ... IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS
7. ... REPLACEMENT CHARACTER c
8. ... IN CHAR-TO-HEX MODE
9. ... CODE PAGE INTO f1
10. ... ENDIAN INTO f2
The syntax check performed in an ABAP Objects context is stricter than in other ABAP areas. See No implicit field names in cluster.
Effect
Imports the data objects obj1 ... objn (fields, structures, complex structures, or tables) from the specified internal table itab. The first column in the internal table must be of the predefined type INT2 and the second must be type X. To define the first column you must refer to a data element in the ABAP Dictionary that has the predefined type INT2.
All data that was stored in the internal table itab using EXPORT ... TO INTERNAL TABLE and listed, is imported. The system checks that the EXPORT and IMPORT structures match.
The Return Code is set as follows:
SY-SUBRC = 0:
The existing data objects in the specified data cluster were imported, the rest remain unchanged (it is possible that no data object was imported).
SY-SUBRC = 4:
The data objects could not be imported.
The contents of all listed objects remain unchanged
Addition 1
... = f (for each object to be imported)
Addition 2
... TO f (for each object to be imported)
Effect
Places the object in the field f.
Addition 3
... ACCEPTING PADDING
Effect
This addition allows you to add new fields to the ends
of structures, even to substructures and internal tables (the additional fields are filled with initial value during the IMPORT). It also allows you to increase the size of existing fields (C, N, X, P, I1, and I2) and to map Char fields to STRING type fields or byte fields to XSTRING type fields.
Addition 4
... ACCEPTING TRUNCATION
Effect
This addition allows you to shorten the last CHAR
field or omit the last component on the highest level (till Release 4.6 this was possible without specifying an addition).
Addition 5
... IGNORING STRUCTURE BOUNDARIES
Effect
This addition means that only the page order is
relevant, that is any substructures match. With this addition, the system also ignores alignment changes arising from the Unicode conversion (for example, due to subsequent insertion of named includes).
This addition rules out any subsequent structural enhancements (addition 3) or structural shortening (addition 4) because with this addition it is the structural limits and include limits that are to be ignored.
As from Release 6.10, the include information will also be stored in the dataset, so that it is possible to also check whether the includes match, that is substructures and includes (named or unnamed) are treated the same. When importing data that was exported in a Release lower than 6.10, the includes are not checked.
Addition 6
...IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS
Effect
This addition has the effect that an error in the
character set conversion does not cause a runtime error. The system uses "#" as a replacement character.
Addition 7
... REPLACEMENT CHARACTER c
Effect
The system uses the specified replacement character if a
character cannot be converted during a character set conversion. If this addition is not specified, the system uses "#" as a replacement character.
This addition can only be used in conjunction with addition 6.
Addition 8
... IN CHAR-TO-HEX MODE
Effect
No character type fields are converted. For this you
must create a field or structure that is identical to the exported field or exported structure, except that all character type fields must be replaced with hexadecimal fields.
This addition, which is only allowed in programs with a set Unicode flag, allows you to import binary data disguised as single byte characters. This addition cannot be used in conjunction with additions 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
Addition 9
... CODE PAGE INTO f1
Effect
The codepage of the exported data is stored in the
character-type field f1 (for example, to be able to analyze the data imported with the addition IN CHAR-TO-HEX MODE).
Addition 10
... ENDIAN INTO f2
Effect
The byte order (LITTLE or BIG) of the
exported data is stored in the field f2 (for example, to be able analyze the data imported using the addition IN CHAR-TO-HEX MODE). The field f2 must be of type ABAP_ENDIAN, defined in type group ABAP. You must therefore include the type group ABAP in the ABAP program with a TYPE-POOLS statement.
Variant 3
IMPORT obj1 ... objn FROM MEMORY.
Extras:
1. ... = f (for each object to be imported) 2. ... TO f (for each object to be imported)
3. ... ID key
4. ... ACCEPTING PADDING
5. ... ACCEPTING TRUNCATION
6. ... IGNORING STRUCTURE BOUNDARIES
The syntax check performed in an ABAP Objects context is stricter than in other ABAP areas. See You Must Enter Identification and Cannot Use Implicit Field Names inClusters
Effect
Imports data objects obj1 ... objn (fields, structures, complex structures or tables) from a data cluster in the ABAP memory (see EXPORT). Reads in all data without an ID that was exported to memory with "EXPORT ... TO MEMORY.". In contrast to the variant IMPORT FROM DATABASE, it does not check that the structure matches in EXPORT and IMPORT.
The Return Code is set as follows:
SY-SUBRC = 0:
The existing data objects in the data cluster specified were imported. The rest remain unchanged (in some circumstances, this may mean that no data objects were imported).
SY-SUBRC = 4:
The data objects could not be imported, probably because the ABAP memory was empty.
The contents of all objects remain unchanged.
Note
You should always use the addition 3 (... ID key) with the statement. Otherwise, the effect of the variant is not certain (EXPORT statements in different parts of a program overwrite each other in the ABAP memory), since it exists only for reasons of compatibility with R/2.
Additional methods for selecting and deleting data clusters in the ABAP memory are provided by the system class CL_ABAP_EXPIMP_MEM.
Please consult Data Area and Modularization Unit Organization documentation as well.
Addition 1
... = f (for each object to be imported)
Addition 2
... TO f (for each object to be imported)
Effect
The object is placed in field f.
Addition 3
... ID key
Effect
Imports only data stored in ABAP memory under the ID key.
Notes
The key, key, must be a character-type data object (but not a string).
The Return Code is set as follows:
SY-SUBRC = 0:
The existing data objects in the data cluster specified were imported. The rest remain unchanged (in some circumstances, this may mean that no data objects were imported).
SY-SUBRC = 4:
The data objects could not be imported, probably because an incorrect ID was used.
The contents of all objects remain unchanged.
Addition 4
... ACCEPTING PADDING
Effect
This addition allows you to append new fields to the end of structures, sub-structures, and internal tables. The IMPORT statement fills the additional fields with initial values; make existing fields (C, N, X, P, I1, and I2) longer; map character-type fields to STRING-type fields; or to map byte-type fields to XSTRING-type fields.
Addition 5
... ACCEPTING TRUNCATION
Effect
This addition allows you to shorten the last CHAR field, or to omit the last component at the top level. (Until Release 4.6, you could do this without using an addition).
Addition 6
... IGNORING STRUCTURE BOUNDARIES
Effect
This addition means that only the fragment sequence is relevant - that is, that any sub-structures match. If you use this addition, the system ignores any alignment changes necessitated by Unicode - such as inserting named includes.
You cannot use this addition with either addition 3 (enlarge structure) or addition 4 (shorten structure), since it specifies that structure and include boundaries are to be ignored.
From Release 6.10 onwards, the include information is stored in datasets, so that the system can also check that includes match - that is, that sub-structures and includes (named or unnamed) are treated equally. When data is imported in a Release prior to 6.10, includes are not checked.

6. ... ACCEPTING TRUNCATION
7. ... IGNORING STRUCTURE BOUNDARIES
The syntax check performed in an ABAP Objects context is stricter than in other ABAP areas.
See You Cannot Use Implicit Field Names in Clusters and You Cannot Use Table Work Areas.
Effect
Imports the data objects obj1 ... objn (fields, structures, complex structures, or tables) from shared memory. The data objects are read using the ID key from the area ar in the table itab - c.f. EXPORT TO SHARED MEMORY). You must use itab to specify a database table although the system reads from a memory table with the appropriate structure.
The Return Code is set as follows:
SY-SUBRC = 0:
The existing data objects in the data cluster specified were imported. The rest remain unchanged. (In some circumstances, this may mean that no data objects were imported).
SY-SUBRC = 4:
The data objects could not be imported. You may have used the wrong ID. The contents of all the objects remain unchanged.
Notes
The table dbtab named according to SHARED MEMORY must be declared using TABLES (except in addition 2).
The structure of fields (field symbols and internal tables) to be imported must match the structure of the objects exported in the dataset. The objects must be imported under the same names as those under which they were exported. Otherwise, they will not be imported.
The key length consists of: the client (3 digits, but only if tab is client-specific); area (2 characters); ID; and line number (4 bytes). It must not exceed 64 bytes - that is, the ID must not be longer than 55 characters, if the table is client- specific.
The key, key, must be a character-type data object (but not a string).
Additional methods for selecting and deleting data clusters in the shared memory are provided by the system class CL_ABAP_EXPIMP_SHMEM.
Please consult Data Area and Modularization Unit Organization documentation as well.
Addition 1
... = f (for each object to be imported)
Addition 2
... TO f (for each object to be imported)
Effect
The object is stored in the field f.
Addition 3
... CLIENT g (before ID key)
Effect
The data is imported from client g (provided the import/export table is tab client-specific). The client, g must be a character-type data object (but not a string).
Addition 4
... TO wa (after itab(ar) or ID key)
Effect
You need to use this addition if user data fields have been stored in the application buffer and are to be read from there. The work area wa is used instead of the table work area. The target area must correspond to the structure of the called table tab.
Addition 5
... ACCEPTING PADDING
Effect
This addition allows you to: append new fields to the end of structures, sub-structures, and internal tables. The IMPORT statement fills the additional fields with initial values; make existing fields (C, N, X, P, I1, and I2) longer; map character-type fields to STRING-type fields; or to map byte-type fields to XSTRING-type fields.
Addition 6
... ACCEPTING TRUNCATION
Effect
This addition allows you to shorten the last CHAR fields, or to omit the last component at the top level. (Until Release 4.6, you could do this without using an addition).
Addition 7
... IGNORING STRUCTURE BOUNDARIES
Effect
This addition means that only the fragment sequence is relevant - that is, that any sub-structures match. If you use this addition, the system ignores any alignment changes necessitated by Unicode - such as inserting named includes.
You cannot use this addition with either addition 4 (enlarge structure) or addition 5 (shorten structure), since it specifies that structure and include boundaries are to be ignored.
From Release 6.10 onwards, the include information is stored in datasets, so that the system can also check that includes match - that is, that sub-structures and includes (named or unnamed) are treated equally. When data is imported in a Release prior to 6.10, includes are not checked.

EXPORT TO SHARED MEMORY, DELETE FROM SHARED MEMORY
Variant 5
IMPORT obj1 ... objn FROM SHARED BUFFER itab(ar) ID key.
Extras:
1. ... = f (for each object to be exported) 2. ... TO f (for each object to be exported)
3. ... CLIENT g (before ID key)
4. ... TO wa (last addition or after itab(ar))
The syntax check performed in an ABAP Objects context is stricter than in other ABAP areas.
See Cannot Use Implicit Fieldnames in Clusters und Cannot Use Table Work Areas.
Effect
Imports data objects obj1 ... objn (fields or
tables) from the cross-transaction application buffer. The data objects are read in the application buffer using the ID key of the area ar of the buffer area for the table itab (see EXPORT TO SHARED BUFFER). You must use dbtab to specify a database table although the system reads from a memory table with an appropriate structure.
The Return Code is set as follows:
SY-SUBRC = 0:
The existing data objects in the data cluster specified were imported. The rest remain unchanged (in some circumstances, this means that no data objects were imported).
SY-SUBRC = 4:
The data objects could not be imported, probably because an incorrect ID was used.
The contents of all objects remain unchanged.
Example
Import two fields and an internal table from the application buffer with the structure INDX:
TYPES: BEGIN OF ITAB3_LINE,
         CONT(4),
       END OF ITAB3_LINE.
DATA: INDXKEY LIKE INDX-SRTFD VALUE 'KEYVALUE',
      F1(4),
      F2(8) TYPE P DECIMALS 0,
      ITAB3 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ITAB3_LINE,
      INDX_WA TYPE INDX.
Import data.
IMPORT F1 = F1 F2 = F2 ITAB3 = ITAB3
       FROM SHARED BUFFER INDX(ST) ID INDXKEY TO INDX_WA.
After import, the data fields INDX-AEDAT and
INDX-USERA in front of CLUSTR are filled with
the values in the fields before the EXPORT
statement.
Notes
You must declare the table dbtab, named after DATABASE using a TABLES statement.
The structure of the fields, structures, and internal tables to be imported must match the structure of the objects exported to the dataset. Moreover, the objects must be imported with the same name used to export them. Otherwise, the import is not performed.
The maximum total key length is 64 bytes. It must include: a client if the table is client-specific (3 characters); an area (2 characters); identification; and line counter (4 bytes). This means that the number of characters available for the identification of a client-specific table is 55 characters.
The key, key, must be a character-type data object (but not a string).
Additional methods for selecting and deleting data clusters in the cross-transaction application buffer are provided by the system class CL_ABAP_EXPIMP_SHBUF.
Please consult Data Area and Modularization Unit Organization documentation as well.
Addition 1
... = f (for each object to be imported)
Addition 2
... TO f (for each object to be imported)
Effect
The object is placed in the field f
Addition 3
... CLIENT g (after dbtab(ar))
Effect
Takes the data from the client g (if the import/export table dbtab is client-specific). The client g must be a character-type data object (but not a string).
Addition 4
... TO wa (as the last addition or after itab(ar))
Effect
You need to use this addition if you want to save user data fields in the application buffer and then read them from there later. The system uses a work area wa instead of a table work area. The target area must have the same structure as the table tab.
Example
DATA: INDX_WA TYPE INDX,
      F1.
IMPORT F1 = F1 FROM SHARED BUFFER INDX(AR)
               CLIENT '001' ID 'TEST'
               TO INDX_WA.

The syntax check performed in an ABAP Objects context is stricter than in other ABAP areas. See Cannot Use Implicit Fieldnames in Clusters and Cannot Use Table Work Areas.
Effect
Imports data objects obj1 ... objn (fields, structures, complex structures, or tables) from the data cluster with ID key in area ar of the database table dbtab (see EXPORT TO DATABASE).
The Return Code is set as follows:
SY-SUBRC = 0:
The existing data objects in the data cluster specified were imported. The rest remain unchanged (in some circumstances, this may mean that not data objects were imported).
SY-SUBRC = 4:
The data objects could not be imported, probably because an incorrect ID was used.
The contents of all objects remain unchanged.
Example
Import two fields and an internal table:
TYPES: BEGIN OF TAB3_TYPE,
          CONT(4),
       END OF TAB3_TYPE.
DATA: INDXKEY LIKE INDX-SRTFD,
      F1(4), F2 TYPE P,
      TAB3 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TAB3_TYPE WITH
                NON-UNIQUE DEFAULT KEY,
      WA_INDX TYPE INDX.
INDXKEY = 'INDXKEY'.
IMPORT F1   = F1
       F2   = F2
       TAB3 = TAB3 FROM DATABASE INDX(ST) ID INDXKEY
       TO WA_INDX.
Notes
You must declare the table dbtab, named after DATABASE, using the TABLES statement (except in addition 5).
The structure of fields, field strings and internal tables to be imported must match the structure of the objects exported to the dataset. In addition, the objects must be imported under the same name used to export them. If this is not the case, either a runtime error occurs or no import takes place.
Exception: You can lengthen or shorten the last field if it is of type CHAR, or add/omit CHAR fields at the end of the structure.
The key, key, must be a character-type data object (but not a string).
Additional methods for selecting and deleting data clusters in the database table specified are provided by the system class CL_ABAP_EXPIMP_DB.
Addition 1
... = f (for each object to be imported)
Addition 2
... TO f (for each object to be imported)
Effect
The object is placed in field f.
Addition 3
... CLIENT g (before the ID key)
Effect
Data is taken from the client g (in client-specific import/export databases only). Client g must be a character-type data object (but not a string).
Example
DATA: F1,
      WA_INDX TYPE INDX.
IMPORT F1 = F1 FROM DATABASE INDX(AR) CLIENT '002' ID 'TEST'
               TO WA_INDX.
Addition 4
... USING form
Note
This statement is for internal use only.
Incompatible changes or further developments may occur at any time without warning or notice.
Effect
Does not read the data from the database. Instead, calls the FORM routine form for each record read from the database without this addition. This routine can take the data key of the data to be retrieved from the database table work area and write the retrieved data to this work area. The name of the routine has the format <name of database table>_<name of form>; it has one parameter which describes the operation (READ, UPDATE or INSERT). The routine must set the field SY-SUBRC in order to show whether the function was successfully performed.
Addition 5
... TO wa (after key or after dbtab(ar))
Effect
You need to use this addition if you want to save user data fields in the cluster database and then read from there. The system uses the work area wa instead of a table work area. The target area entered must have the same structure as the table dbtab.
Example
DATA WA LIKE INDX.
DATA F1.
IMPORT F1 = F1 FROM DATABASE INDX(AR)
               CLIENT '002' ID 'TEST'
               TO WA.
WRITE: / 'AEDAT:', WA-AEDAT,
       / 'USERA:', WA-USERA,
       / 'PGMID:', WA-PGMID.
Addition 6
... MAJOR-ID id1 (instead of the ID key).
Addition 7
... MINOR-ID id2 (with MAJOR-ID id1)
This addition is not allowed in an ABAP Objects context. See Cannot Use Generic Identification.
Effect
Searches for a record the first part of whose ID (length of id1) matches id1 and whose second part - if MINOR-ID id2 is also declared - is greater than or equal to id2.
Addition 8
... ACCEPTING PADDING
Effect
This addition allows you to append new fields to the end of structures, sub-structures, and internal tables. The IMPORT statement fills the additional fields with initial values; make existing fields (C, N, X, P, I1, and I2) longer; map character-type fields to STRING-type fields; or to map byte-type fields to XSTRING-type fields.
Addition 9
... ACCEPTING TRUNCATION
Effect
This addition allows you to shorten the last CHAR fields, or to omit the last component at the top level. (Until Release 4.6, you could do this without using an addition).
Addition 10
... IGNORING STRUCTURE BOUNDARIES
Effect
This addition means that only the fragment sequence is relevant - that is, that any sub-structures match. If you use this addition, the system ignores any alignment changes necessitated by Unicode - such as inserting named includes.
You cannot use this addition with either addition 8 (enlarge structure) or addition 9 (shorten structure), since it specifies that structure and include boundaries are to be ignored.
From Release 6.10 onwards, the include information is stored in datasets, so that the system can also check that includes match - that is, that sub-structures and includes (named or unnamed) are treated equally. When data is imported in a Release prior to 6.10, includes are not checked.
Addition 11
...IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS
Effect
This addition prevents the system from triggering a runtime error, if an error occurs when the character set is converted. '#' is used as a replacement character.
Addition 12
... REPLACEMENT CHARACTER c
Effect
The replacement character is used if a particular character cannot be converted when the character set is converted. If you do not use this addition, '#' is used as a replacement character.
This addition can only be used in conjunction with addition 11.
Addition 13
... IN CHAR-TO-HEX MODE
Effect
All character-type fields are not converted. To convert a field, you must create a field (or structure) that is identical to the exported field or structure, except that all its character-type components must be replaced with hexadecimal fields.
You can only use this addition in Unicode programs, to allow you to import camouflaged binary data as single-byte characters. Moreover, you cannot use this addition in conjunction with the additions 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12.
Addition 14
... CODE PAGE INTO f1
Effect
The code page of the exported data is stored in the character-type field f1 - for example, to analyze data that has been imported with the IN CHAR-TO-HEX MODE addition.
Addition 15
... ENDIAN INTO f2
Effect
The byte order(LITTLE or BIG) of the exported data is stored in the field f2 - for example, to analyze data that has been imported with the IN CHAR-TO-HEX MODE addition. The field f2 must have the type ABAP_ENDIAN, which is defined in the type group ABAP. For this reason, the type group ABAP must be included in the ABAP program using a TYPE-POOLS statement.
Variant 7
IMPORT obj1 ... objn FROM DATASET dsn(ar) ID key.
This variant is not allowed in an ABAP Objects context. See Cannot Use Clusters in Files
Note
This variant is no longer supported and cannot be used.
Variant 8
IMPORT obj1 ... objn FROM LOGFILE ID key.
Note
This statement is for internal use only.
Incompatible changes or further developments may occur at any time without warning or notice.
Extras:
1. ... = f (for each field f to be imported) 2. ... TO f (for each field f to be imported)
The syntax check performed in an ABAP Objects context is stricter than in other ABAP areas. See Cannot Use Implicit Field Names in Clusters
Effect
Imports data objects (fields, field strings or internal tables) from the update data. You must specify the update key assigned by the system (with current request number) as the key.
The key, key, must be a character-type data object (but not a string).
The Return Code is set as follows:
SY-SUBRC = 0:
The existing data objects in the data cluster specified were imported. The rest remain unchanged (in some circumstances, this may mean that no data objects were imported).
SY-SUBRC = 4:
The data objects could not be imported. An incorrect ID may have been used.
The contents of all objects remain unchanged.
Addition 1
... = f (for each object to be imported)
Addition 2
... TO f (for each object to be imported)
Effect
The object is placed in field f.
Variant 9
IMPORT DIRECTORY INTO itab FROM DATABASE dbtab(ar) ID key.
Extras:
1. ... CLIENT g (after dbtab(ar)) 2. ... TO wa (last addition or after dbtab(ar))
The syntax check performed in an ABAP Objects context is stricter than in other ABAP areas. See Cannot Use Table Work Areas.
Effect
Imports an object directory stored under the specified ID with EXPORT TO DATABASE into the table itab. The internal table itab may not have the type HASHED TABLE or ANY TABLE.
The key, key, must be a character-type data object (but not a string).
The Return Code is set as follows:
SY-SUBRC = 0:
The directory was successfully imported.
SY-SUBRC = 4:
The directory could not be imported, probably because an incorrect ID was used.
The internal table itab must have the same structure as the Dictionary structure CDIR (INCLUDE STRUCTURE).
Addition 1
... CLIENT g (before ID key)
Effect
Takes data from the client g (only with client-specific import/export databases). Client g must be a character-type data object (but not a string).
Addition 2
... TO wa (last addition or after dbtab(ar))
Effect
Uses the work area wa instead of the table work area. When you use this addition, you do not need to declare the table dbtab, named after DATABASE using a TABLES statement. The work area entered must have the same structure as the table dbtab.
Example
Directory of a cluster consisting of two fields and an internal table:
TYPES: BEGIN OF TAB3_LINE,
         CONT(4),
       END OF TAB3_LINE,
       BEGIN OF DIRTAB_LINE.
         INCLUDE STRUCTURE CDIR.
TYPES END OF DIRTAB_LINE.
DATA: INDXKEY LIKE INDX-SRTFD,
      F1(4),
      F2(8)   TYPE P decimals 0,
      TAB3    TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TAB3_LINE,
      DIRTAB TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF DIRTAB_LINE,
      INDX_WA TYPE INDX.
INDXKEY = 'INDXKEY'.
EXPORT F1 = F1
       F2 = F2
       TAB3 = TAB3
       TO DATABASE INDX(ST) ID INDXKEY " TAB3 has 17 entries
       FROM INDX_WA.
IMPORT DIRECTORY INTO DIRTAB FROM DATABASE INDX(ST) ID INDXKEY
       TO INDX_WA.
Then, the table DIRTAB contains the following:
NAME     OTYPE FTYPE TFILL FLENG
F1         F      C      0      4
F2         F      P      0      8
TAB3       T      C      17     4
The meaning of the individual fields is as follows:
NAME:
Name of stored object
OTYPE:
Object type (F: Field, R: Field string / Dictionary struc
