How to use RSAN_PROCESS_EXECUTE in abap program

Hi all,
Does someone know how to use RSAN_PROCESS_EXECUTE in a abap program to execute an analytical process created in the transaction RSANWB?
I create a variant 'ZPC_ALIM_DL' for RSAN_PROCESS_EXECUTE. I would like to execute this program with this variant in a background job, but it seems that the job executed but it does nothing.
See below a part of the code.
SUBMIT RSAN_PROCESS_EXECUTE
             WITH VARIANT = 'ZPC_ALIM_DL'
             USER SY-UNAME VIA JOB L_JOBNM1 NUMBER L_JOBCOUNT1
             AND RETURN.
Thanks in advance,
L.

Hi Ludovic,
I am using RSAN_PROCESS_EXECUTE with a variant in process chain. simply include 'abap program' type in process chain mention RSAN_PROCESS_EXECUTE as the program name and mention the variant you created for your apd process and run. I have tested it in dev and it has worked for me. let me know if this helps!
Thanks

How to use structure in ABAP program

I developing a report in smartforms but i want some fields to be display on the report but unable to find the relvent table as the field is show in structure.i can not find the actual table . is there any specfic way to find the table .or is there any way to use the fields defind in structure in my ABAP program.

Hi,
May be iam not clear with the question. But why you want to use structure. In report you can define your own structure, also you can declare your fields directly using standard datatypes.
Hope this will help!!!

    WHEN OTHERS.
      WRITE / 'No Button was clicked'.
ENDCASE.
Note that WRITE statements will not work in AT SELECTION-SCREEN events, alternativey you can use some popup to display the same.
   You can also check demo program: DEMO_SEL_SCREEN_PUSHBUTTON

Why and how to use events in abap objects

Dear all,
Please explain me why and how to use events in abap objects with real time example
regards
pankaj giri

Hi Pankaj,
I will try to explain why to use events... How to use is a different topic.. which others have already answered...
This is same from your prev. post...
Events :
Technically speaking :
" Events are notifications an object receives from, or transmits to, other objects or applications. Events allow objects to perform actions whenever a specific occurrence takes place. Microsoft Windows is an event-driven operating system, events can come from other objects, applications, or user input such as mouse clicks or key presses. "
Lets say you have an ALV - An editable one ...
Lats say - Once you press some button you want some kind of validation to be done.
How to do this ?
Raise an Event - Which is handled by a method and write the validation code.
Now you might argue, that I can do it in this way : Capture the function code - and call the validate method.
Yes, in this case it can be done.. But lets say .. you change a field in the ALV and you want the validation to be done as soon as he is done with typing.
Where is the function code here ? No function code... But there is an event here - The data changed event.
So you can raise a data changed event that can be handled and will do the validation.
It is not user friendly that you ask the user to press a button (to get the function code) for validation each time he enters a data.
The events can be raised by a system, or by a program also. So in this case the data changed event is raised by a system that you can handle.
Also, Lets say on a particular action you want some code to trigger. (You can take the same example of validation code). In this case the code to trigger is in a separate class. The object of which is not available here at this moment. (This case happens very frequently).
Advantage with events : Event handlers can be in a separate class also.
e.g : In the middle of some business logic .. you encounter a error. You want to send this information to the UI (to user - in form of a pop up) and then continue with some processing.
In many cases - A direct method call to trigger the pop up is not done. Because (in ideal cases) the engine must not interact with UI directly - Because the UI could be some other application - like a windows UI but the error comes from some SAP program.
So - A event is raised from the engine that is handled in the UI and a pop up is triggered.
Here -- I would have different classes (lets say for different Operating Systems). And all these classes must register to the event ERROR raised in application.
And these different classes for different Operation systems will have different code to raise a pop-up.
Now you can imagine : If you coded a pop-up for Windows (in your application logic) .. it will not work for Mac or Linux. But of you raise a event.. that is handled separately by a different UI classes for Win, Linux or Mac they will catch this event and process accordingly.
May be I complicated this explanation .... but I couldn't think of a simpler and concrete example.
Cheers.
Varun.

How to use wildcards in ABAP query where condition?

Hi,
Please tell me how to use wildcards in ABAP qurey where condition.
e.g. select * from mara where matnr = * (wildcard we need to use.
Thanks & Regards,
Gaurav T

Do you want to query asterix * ?
select * from mara where matnr = '*'. "then just put it in apstrophes
or you want certain part of string be used as * ?
select * from mara where matnr like '%*' "then use % sign before it
or maybe you want something like this
select * from mara where matnr like '%1' . "then it will look for all materials having '1' inside it

Hi
how to use upload condition record program RV14BTCI.
kathir.

Hi,
To run this program we have to maintain Upload file in Application Directory,
We have to maintain 3 levels of records in that file.. my feel you upload through BDC or LSMW.
For your information,
The batch input program RV14BTCI reads the parameters is necessary
Giving sequential file and creates (depending on the data
In the file seq) one or more batch input sessions.
The data are seq file in the following structure expected:
- The session a session intent (Table KOBTCI, Record 0)
All other records until the next session, the intent
Last session assigned to read
- The head condition Sentence (Table KOBTCI, record 1)
All other records until the next condition,
Last read head appropriate rate
This includes the corresponding condition
Condition table
- The key sentence of a Main (Table KOBTCI, record 2)
It must be directly on the head set to follow
It contains the key condition of the table
+ Detail fields
- The season record has a subordinate clause (Table KOBTCI, record 3)
The teams relate to the key sentence in the main

How to use ComponentWork CWSerial to program such thing like HyperTerminal does to communicate 2 PCs through its RS232?

Right now I use null modem cable, I can communicate 2 PCs use hyper-terminal. I wonder how to use ComponentWork CWSerial to program such kind of job? Thanks!

Hi Kevin,
Of course this will take a little work, but CWSerial should be able to handle this without too much hassle. Take a look at the example program usually included in C:\Program Files\National Instruments\MeasurementStudio\VB\Samples\Instr\Basic Serial
You should be able to use this example as a starting point.
Hope this helps out!!!

How to get a parameter from BPC and use it in ABAP program

Hello gurus!
I got a problem...
SAP BPC will send parameters such as year, division, category, company code and so on via script logic to SAP BW.
I need to get these parameters from BPC and use them in a ABAP program as a filter.
This ABAP program will do several routines and return new values to BPC. It must be made on ABAP and I need to filter data to avoid performance issues.
Does anybody knows how to do it? or have a example of it?
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Rubens Kumori

Hello, I'm looking for a suggest.
I need to pass two parameters (users can input them in a data manager package in bpc) to a BAdI.
In this BAdI I write a code that store those parameters in a InfoObject.
The problem is:
- one parameter is for CATEGORY value. CATEGORY is a dimension of the application and I read the value with a code like this:
      READ TABLE it_cv INTO l_s_it_cv
           WITH TABLE KEY dim_upper_case = 'C_CATEGORY'.
- other parameter is a generic DATE. this parameter is not a dimension of the application and I don't know how I can retrieve this value in BAdI.
      READ TABLE it_cv INTO l_s_it_cv
           WITH TABLE KEY dim_upper_case = '.....'.
The data manager dynamic script is:
PROMPT(SELECTINPUT,,,,"%CATEGORY_DIM%")
PROMPT(TEXT,%SELECTED_DAY%,"Write the date (format YYYYMMDD)",)
I also have a dynamic constant that assign the name %CATEGORY_DIM% to "C_CATEGORY" value.
Can anyone help me?
thanks a lot

                                       Ranges
A selection table is linked to the column of a database table, or to an internal field in the program. A selection table is an internal table object of the standard table type that has a standard key and a header line.
In addition to selection tables that we create using SELECT-OPTIONS, we can use the RANGES statement to create internal tables that have the structure of selection tables. You can use these tables with certain restrictions the same way you use actual selection tables.
A ranges table type is a special case of a table type. A ranges table type describes the structure of an internal table for administrating complex areas, i.e. the type of an internal table ranges table in the ABAP program.
The row type of a ranges table type has a fixed structure. The row type consists of 4 components SIGN (sign), OPTION (comparison operator), LOW (lower limit) and HIGH (upper limit) in this order.
1.     SIGN The database type of SIGN is C with length 1. The contents of SIGN determine for each row whether the result of the row condition is to be included in or excluded from the resulting set of all rows. Possible values are I (inclusion criterion operators are not inverted) and E (exclusion criterion operators are inverted).
2.      OPTION The database type OPTION is C with length 2. It contains the selection operator. The following operators are available:-
-     If HIGH is empty, we can use EQ, NE, GT, LE, LT, CP, and NP.
-     CP and NP are only allowed if wildcards (*' or '+) are used in the input fields.
-     If wildcards are entered on the selection screen, the system automatically uses the operator CP. The escape character is defined as #.
-      If HIGH is filled, you can use BT (Between) and NB (Not Between). We cannot use wildcard characters.
3.     LOW - The data type of LOW is the same as the column type of the              database table, to which the selection criterion is linked.
If HIGH is empty, the contents of LOW define a single field comparison. In combination with the operator in OPTION, it specifies a condition for the database selection.
     If HIGH is filled, the contents of LOW and HIGH specify the upper and lower limits for a range. In combination with the operator in OPTION, the range specifies a condition for the database selection.
4.     HIGH - The data type of HIGH is the same as the column type of the database table, to which the selection criterion is linked. The contents of HIGH specify the upper limit for a range selection.
If the selection table contains more than one row, the system applies the following rules when creating the complete selection criterion:
1.     Form the union of sets defined on the rows that have SIGN field equal to I (inclusion).
2.     Subtract the union of sets defined on the rows that have SIGN field equal to E (exclusion).
3.     If the selection table consists only of rows in which the SIGN field equals E, the system selects all data outside the set specified in the rows.
RANGES tables
We can use the following variants of the TYPES and DATA statements to create internal tables of the same type as selection tables.
TYPES|DATA .
An elementary associated type defines the type of components LOW and HIGH. It can be defined by specifying a data element or by directly defining the data type, number of places and if necessary the number of decimal places.
A ranges table type always has Standard table access mode and a standard key that is non-unique.
I think this will help u .

How to use field symbols in program

how to use field symbols can any one explain with example please..
Regards,
venki...

Hi
Field Symbols
Field symbols are placeholders or symbolic names for other fields. They do not physically reserve space for a field, but point to its contents. A field symbol cam point to any data object. The data object to which a field symbol points is assigned to it after it has been declared in the program.
Whenever you address a field symbol in a program, you are addressing the field that is assigned to the field symbol. After successful assignment, there is no difference in ABAP whether you reference the field symbol or the field itself. You must assign a field to each field symbol before you can address the latter in programs.
Field symbols are similar to dereferenced pointers in C (that is, pointers to which the content operator * is applied). However, the only real equivalent of pointers in ABAP, that is, variables that contain a memory address (reference) and that can be used without the contents operator, are reference variables in ABAP Objects.
All operations programmed with field symbols are applied to the field assigned to it. For example, a MOVE statement between two field symbols moves the contents of the field assigned to the first field symbol to the field assigned to the second field symbol. The field symbols themselves point to the same fields after the MOVE statement as they did before.
You can create field symbols either without or with type specifications. If you do not specify a type, the field symbol inherits all of the technical attributes of the field assigned to it. If you do specify a type, the system checks the compatibility of the field symbol and the field you are assigning to it during the ASSIGN statement.
Field symbols provide greater flexibility when you address data objects:
If you want to process sections of fields, you can specify the offset and length of the field dynamically.
You can assign one field symbol to another, which allows you to address parts of fields.
Assignments to field symbols may extend beyond field boundaries. This allows you to address regular sequences of fields in memory efficiently.
You can also force a field symbol to take different technical attributes from those of the field assigned to it.
The flexibility of field symbols provides elegant solutions to certain problems. On the other hand, it does mean that errors can easily occur. Since fields are not assigned to field symbols until runtime, the effectiveness of syntax and security checks is very limited for operations involving field symbols. This can lead to runtime errors or incorrect data assignments.
While runtime errors indicate an obvious problem, incorrect data assignments are dangerous because they can be very difficult to detect. For this reason, you should only use field symbols if you cannot achieve the same result using other ABAP statements.
For example, you may want to process part of a string where the offset and length depend on the contents of the field. You could use field symbols in this case. However, since the MOVE statement also supports variable offset and length specifications, you should use it instead. The MOVE statement (with your own auxiliary variables if required) is much safer than using field symbols, since it cannot address memory beyond the boundary of a field. However, field symbols may improve performance in some cases.

This statement declares a symbolic field called <fs>. At runtime, you can assign a concrete field to the field symbol using ASSIGN. All operations performed with the field symbol then directly affect the field assigned to it.
You can only use one of the additions.
Example
Output aircraft type from the table SFLIGHT using a field symbol:
FIELD-SYMBOLS <PT> TYPE ANY.
DATA SFLIGHT_WA TYPE SFLIGHT.
ASSIGN SFLIGHT_WA-PLANETYPE TO <PT>.
WRITE <PT>.
Addition 1
... TYPE type
Addition 2
... TYPE REF TO cif
Addition 3
... TYPE REF TO DATA
Addition 4
... TYPE LINE OF type
Addition 5
... LIKE s
Addition 6
... LIKE LINE OF s
Addition 7
... TYPE tabkind
Effect
You can define the type of the field symbol using additions 2 to 7 (just as you can for FORM parameters (compare Defining the Type of Subroutine Parameters). When you use the ASSIGN statement, the system carries out the same type checks as for USING parameters of FORMs.
This addition is not allowed in an ABAP Objects context. See Cannot Use Obsolete Casting for FIELD SYMBOLS.
In some cases, the syntax rules that apply to Unicode programs are different than those for non-Unicode programs. See Defining Types Using STRUCTURE.
Effect
Assigns any (internal) field string or structure to the field symbol from the ABAP Dictionary (s). All fields of the structure can be addressed by name: <fs>-fieldname. The structured field symbol points initially to the work area wa specified after DEFAULT.
The work area wa must be at least as long as the structure s. If s contains fields of the type I or F, wa should have the structure s or at least begin in that way, since otherwise alignment problems may occur.
Example
Address components of the flight bookings table SBOOK using a field symbol:
DATA SBOOK_WA LIKE SBOOK.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <SB> STRUCTURE SBOOK
DEFAULT SBOOK_WA.
WRITE: <SB>-BOOKID, <SB>-FLDATE.

How to check frequency of ABAP program usage

Dear Experts,
How to find out the frequency of ABAP programs executed by users? the reason is because we want to do a housekeeping on all the ABAP reports that we have developed over the years, we want to deactivate those reports that are no longer executed by the user within 1 year. Anyone can give suggestion?
I already tried using SM36, but this is only for those programs scheduled in background or immediate, how about those programs running on foreground?

Hello,
You can use the trxn SM20N. But bear in mind some prior config needs to be in place for the logging to be active (trxn SM19).
For further details on SM20 read this: [Security Audit Log|http://help.sap.com/SAPhelp_nw70/helpdata/en/2c/c59d37d373243de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm]
@Sap Fan: STAD can be used in case the audit log is not available (e.g., due to missing config) but afaik there is a limitation on the date range you can provide.
BR,
Suhas
