Is abap suitable for me?

If I show experience in abap, then whatever degree and percentage I hv don't matter. Is it true? I hv UG degree BA(non collegiate student) then regular MSc degree in computer science.

MiniSAP - SE80 Prompts Error "Printer not suitable for job step..."

Hi all,
I bought an ABAP Objects book. I installed the MiniSAP. When I run SAP GUI and SE80, both with BCUSER and DDIC, it gives me error message "Printer not suitable for job step. Automatic printing not possible."
If I double-click on the message, it does not show the description of the error message, instead it displays an Internet Explorer error message "The page cannot be found."
Furthermore, the same error message, "The Page cannot be found", also appears in the area where the listbox and textbox for selecting Development Class, Program, Function Group, etc. Making these function becomes unavailabale. I cannot see the listbox and textbox in the Object Navigator. The only development class show is "$_TMP_BCUSER" (if I recall correctly). But nothing is in the development class.
How do I solve this problem?
OS: Windows XP Professional
Browser Installed: Internet Explorer and Firefox
Other info: I put incorrect IP Address in the Hosts file while installation was in progress. This created error. I then correct the IP Address in the Hosts file and resume installation. I still encountered error until I restarted my computer and resume installtion. I use IP Address 10.10.0.10.
Thanks in advance.

ABAP & Workflow for CRM

Hello Buddies,
I have seen so mail threads somewhat near to my doubt but could you please tell me some good link for learning ABAP & Workflow for CRM. Also please advise me, being ABAP-Workflow Consultant which section of CRM is best suitable for me.
Thanks in advance. Your guidance is appreciated.
Warm Regards,
N. Singh

Hi,
ABAP and Workflow for CRM is nothing different and specific to CRM. They are same and at least all the basic concepts are present. There might be some implementation and conceptual differences but they are more of functionality driven.
You start learning SAP CRM Fucntionality which will help you to understand SAP CRM much better. And then you can have a feel of the CRM feature and where and how it's been used to drive the ABAP and Workflow functionality.
Hope this helps. You can scan the forum for good links and resources.

ABAP code for character search

Hello Gurus
I have a variable e.g. lv_txtsh which is meant to store a string. Now I want to parse through lv_txtsh and find if it contains a character "x". The length of the string stored in lv_txtsh is going to be dynamic. Can you please help me to code this scenario in ABAP OO (the new version of ABAP)
Any help is appreciated and points will be assigned.
Thanks,
Rishi

Hi,
Pease go through this. You will get an idea.
FIND
Syntax
FIND [{FIRST OCCURRENCE}|{ALL OCCURRENCES} OF] pattern
IN [section_of] dobj
[IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE]
[{RESPECTING|IGNORING} CASE]
[MATCH COUNT mcnt]
{ {[MATCH OFFSET moff]
     [MATCH LENGTH mlen]}
| [RESULTS result_tab|result_wa] }
[SUBMATCHES s1 s2 ...].
Extras:
1. ... {FIRST OCCURRENCE}|{ALL OCCURRENCES} OF
2. ... IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE
3. ... {RESPECTING|IGNORING} CASE
4. ... MATCH COUNT mcnt
5. ... MATCH OFFSET moff
6. ... MATCH LENGTH mlen
7. ... RESULTS result_tab|result_wa
8. ... SUBMATCHES s1 s2 ...
Effect
: The data object dobj is searched for the byte or character sequence specified by the search string pattern. The addition OCCURRENCE[S] determines whether only the first, or all occurrences are searched. The addition section_of can be used to restrict the search range. The addition CASE is used to determine whether upper/lower case is taken into account in the search. The additions MATCH, SUBMATCHES, and RESULTS are used to determine the number, position, and length of the found sequence(s).
The search is ended when the search string is found for the first time or when all the search strings in the search range have been found, or when the end of the search range is reached. The user is informed of the search result by setting sy-subrc.
In character string processing, the closing blanks are taken into account in data objects dobj of fixed length.
Note
The statement FIND IN TABLE is available for searching in internal tables.
System fields
sy-subrc Meaning
0 The search string was found at least once in the search range.
4 The search string was not found in the search range.
8 The search string contains an invalid double-byte character in character string processing.
Addition 1
... {FIRST OCCURRENCE}|{ALL OCCURRENCES} OF
The optional addition {FIRST OCCURRENCE}|{ALL OCCURRENCES} OF determines whether program only searches for the first occurrence, or all occurrences of the search string. If the addition FIRST OCCURENCE, or none of the additions is specified, only the first occurrence is found. Otherwise, all occurrences are found.
If sub_string is an empty string in the pattern or is of type c, d, n or t and only contains blank characters, when searching for the first occurrence, the space in front of the first character or byte of the search range is found. If searching for all occurrences, in this case the exception CX_SY_FIND_INFINITE_LOOP is triggered.
If regex contains a regular expression in pattern that matches the empty character string, the search for one occurrence also finds the space before the first character. When searching for all occurrences, in this case, the search finds the space before the first character, all intermediate spaces that are not within a match, and the space after the last character.
Addition 2
... IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE
Effect
: The optional addition IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE determines whether byte or character string processing takes place. If the addition is not specified, character string processing is performed. Depending on the processing type, dobj and sub_string in pattern must be byte-like or character-type. If regular expressions are used in pattern, only character string processing is permitted.
Addition 3
... {RESPECTING|IGNORING} CASE
Effect
: This addition is only permitted for character string processing. It determines whether upper/lower case is taken into account in pattern and dobj when searching. If RESPECTING CASE is specified, the text is case-sensitive, and if IGNORING CASE is specified, the text is not case-sensitive. If neither of the additions is specified, RESPECTING CASE is used implicitly. If a regular expression is entered for pattern as an object of the class CL_ABAP_REGEX, this addition is not permitted. Instead, the properties of the object are taken into account in the search.
Addition 4
... MATCH COUNT mcnt
Effect
: If the search string pattern is found in the search range, the addition MATCH COUNT stores the number of found locations in the data object mcnt. If FIRST OCCURRENCE is used, this value is always 1 if the search is successful. For mcnt, a variable of the data type i is expected. If the search is unsuccessful, mcnt is set to 0.
Addition 5
... MATCH OFFSET moff
Effect:
If the search string pattern is found in the search range, the addition MATCH OFFSET stores the offset of the last found location in relation to the data object dobj in the data object moff. If FIRST OCCURRENCE is used, this is the offset of the first found location. For moff, a variable of the data type i is expected. If the search is not successful, moff contains its previous value.
Note
: The system field sy-fdpos is not supplied by FIND.
Addition 6
... MATCH LENGTH mlen
Effect:
If the search string pattern is found in the search range, the addition MATCH LENGTH stores the length of the last found substring in the data object mlen. If using FIRST OCCURRENCE, this is the length of the first found location. For mlen, a variable of data type i is expected. If the search is not successful, mlen contains its previous value.
Addition 7
... RESULTS result_tab|result_wa
Effect:
If the search string pattern is found in the search range, the addition RESULTS stores the offsets of the found locations, the lengths of the found substrings, and information on the registers of the subgroups of regular expressions, either in an internal table result_tab or in a structure result_wa.
The internal table result_tab must have the table type MATCH_RESULT_TAB, and the structure result_wa must have the type MATCH_RESULT from the ABAP Dictionary. The line type of the internal table is also MATCH_RESULT.
When an internal table is entered, this is initialized before the search and a line is inserted in the table for every match found. When a structure is entered, this is assigned the values of the last found location. If FIRST OCCURRENCE is used and the search is successful, only one line is inserted in the internal table.
The line or structure type MATCH_RESULT has the following components:
OFFSET of type INT4 for the offset of the substring
LENGTH of type INT4 for the length of the substring
SUBMATCHES of table type SUBMATCH_RESULT_TAB with the line type SUBMATCH_RESULT for the offset and length of the substrings of the current found locations that are stored in the registers of the subgroups of a regular expression.
The lines of result_tab are sorted according to the columns OFFSET and LENGTH. An additional component LINE is only important in the variant FIND IN TABLE.
Following an unsuccessful search, the content of an internal table result_tab is initial, while a structure result_wa contains its previous value.
Note
The addition RESULTS is particularly suitable for use with the addition ALL OCCURRENCES when specifying a table, and for use with the FIRST OCCURRENCE when specifying a structure.
Example:
The following search for a regular expression finds the two substrings "ab" at offset 0 and "ba" at offset 2, and fills the internal table result_tab with two rows accordingly. As the regular expression contains three subgroups, the component submatches contains three lines in each case. The first line of submatches refers to the outermost bracket, the second line refers to the first internal bracket, and the third line refers to the second internal bracket. For the first found location, the first and second lines contains the offset and length while the third line is undefined. For the second found location, the first and third lines contains the offset and length, while the second line is undefined.
DATA: result_tab TYPE match_result_tab.
FIND ALL OCCURRENCES OF REGEX `((ab)|(ba))`
     IN 'abba'
     RESULTS result_tab.
Addition 8
... SUBMATCHES s1 s2 ...
Effect:
This addition is only permitted if a regular expression is used in pattern. The current contents of the register of subgroups of the regular expression for the current found location are written to the variables s1, s2, ..., for which a character-type data type is expected. When ALL OCCURRENCES is used, the last found location is evaluated. If more variables s1, s2, ... are listed than subgroups are available, the superfluous variables are initialized. If fewer variables s1, s2, ... are listed than subgroups are available, the superfluous subgroups are ignored.
Example
: The regular expression after REGEX has two subgroups. The search finds the substring from offset 0 of length 14. The content of the register of the subgroups is "Hey" and "my".
DATA: text TYPE string,
      moff TYPE i,
      mlen TYPE i,
      s1   TYPE string,
      s2   TYPE string.
text = `Hey hey, my my, Rock and roll can never die`.
FIND REGEX `(\w)\W\1\W(\w)\W+\2`
     IN text
     IGNORING CASE
     MATCH OFFSET moff
     MATCH LENGTH mlen
     SUBMATCHES s1 s2.

Needs sample ABAP code for field routine

Dear Expert,
There is a field "Pay Scale Group" in my DSO which stores the data in the format
AA1/B1/CCC2/DD2/EEE1, A1/BB2/CC2/DDD3/EE2 etc. These data has to be transferred to
InfoCube where "pay Scale Group" in the InfoCube will store the data like EEE1,EE2 etc.
I need to write a field routine on the transformation between DSO and Cube.
Can any one please help me with the sample ABAP code for this scenario.
Some more examples for better understanding of the requirement:-
Data in DSO(Source)            Data in Cube(Target)
===================            ===================
AA1/B1/CCC2/DD2/EEE1            EEE1
AAA1/BB2/CC1/DDD3/EE2           EE2
A2/BBB2/CC2/DDD3/EEE5           EEE5
AA2/BB1/C1/DDD3/EE3             EE3
A3/B1/CC2/DDD1/EE4              EE4
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Prakash
Please do not dump your code requirements in SDN
Edited by: Pravender on May 18, 2011 11:37 AM

Hi,
You can use the following code :
Suppose the technical name of the field coming from DSO is ZPAY_SGRP.
And also for example let me take one record, that is ZPAY_SGRP = AA1/B1/CCC2/DD2/EEE1 .
My assumption is that there will always be 4 '/'.
In the field routine write the below code
data: V1(5) type c,
          V2(5) type c,
         V3(5) type c,
          V4(5) type c,
         V5(5) type c.
data : VAR1 TYPE /BIC/OIZPAY_SGRP.
split VAR 1 at '/' into V1 V2 V3 V4 V5.
result = V5.
V5 will be having the characters after the last '/' .That is V5 = EEE1.
Hope the above reply was helpful.
Kind Regards,
Ashutosh Singh

DVD Burn problem. "Device error - the target device isn't suitable for use"

Hello everyone,
I initially had a lot of problems with PE8. However the nVidia driver update solved most of them.
Just thought it was important to report success as well as failure!
However one problem remains. I get the following error at the 96% mark while burning. "Device error - the target device isn't suitable for use". It is always at the 96% mark and the program is "compiling [something]" when this happens.
Having searched this site I notice that user rgferg posted a similar problem 13 days ago but was redirected to repost in a different place, but never did.
I have tried to burn a 1hr clip 4 times and every time I have selected the slower burn speed (8MB/s) as has been suggested. It seems that inferior media is a culprit, so I have bought some [quality] Verbatim DVD-R media to try in my Phillips SATA optical drive. I am sceptical this will work, but open minded nonetheless. I will give it a whirl when my computer has stopped capturing the VHS I am working on.
Each time the burn failed the disk was automatically ejected and the burn process had actually started and progressed perhaps ~40% or so.
This indicates to me that it is a drive sharing issue, rather than a media issue. Somewhere on this forum it suggests that I go through a 20+ step process and delete/disable every piece of software that can compete with Premiere among other things. IF I do this what do I burn with outside of Adobe? Do I have to get imgburn or whatever it was called? What if I like Nero? Nero 6 has worked great for me for 3 years.
So given I am willing to uninstall my old optical drive burning software, who out there can recommened commercial software that for them creates a painless Adobe burning experience with no errors or conflicts? Perhaps there is another solution that I did not see on this forum?
I am running Windows XP SP3. I have the latest nVidia drivers for my SLI GeForce 7600 GS cards. I have 3 monitors. RAID 0 SATA, 2GB RAM, Athlon X2 5400.
Justin.

OK been working through the list of 20 things Adobe recommends to fix DVD burn error. No luck yet:
system meets minimum requirements
Project size does not exceed disk capacity
successfully burned project to DVD folder -thus skip to step 8.
8. Using new blank media for burning
9. Try different media and DVD burners. Bought Verbatim DVD-R. Don't have another DVD burner. Adobe's supported burner list is VERY short, so of course mine is not on it.
10. Uninstalled Nero 6. Did NOT uninstall Acronis True Image workstation or Lightscribe. These do not access the drive unless I say so!
11. Have not yet disabled startup items and services. This will take a lot of work and will leave to last. Deactivated Spybot thus far.....
12. Disabled IMAPI CD burning COM
13. DMA if available already set. Haven't set this in BIOS yet. I already think it is, but will check next boot.
14. Updated DVD firmware
15. Already updated nVidia drivers
16. Don't have any other DVD drives to disconnect.
17. MPEG workaround. Will resort to if required.
18. Disable Autoplay? XP only has "prompt me each time to choose an action". I have set this for ALL file types.
19. Have NOT refreshed the DVD drivers in the registry. This step involves uninstalling PE8. Will leave this as last resort.
20. Visit forums to see if other have the same problem. Hi guys
So still working through some of the items above.
Can anyone direct me to advice on how to write the encoded files sent to the hard drive, or the VOB files that PE8 failed to burn to a disk? Will the former work with DVD menus?
What a process.
Stay tuned.
Justin.

I want to open excel spread sheets make additions and export back to pc users. Is numbers suitable for this activity?

I want to open excel spread sheets make additions and export back to pc users. Is numbers suitable for this activity? I am using a MACBook Air

just read this in an other answer:
Pages can open docx files, Numbers can open xlsx files. Each can export to can export .doc or .xls to the newest Word or Excel format.respectvely, but not to the more recent .docx or .xlsx.
Translation is not perfect in either direction. Numbers and Excel handle some similar features (eg. pop-up menus vs data validation) differently, and the translator cannot translate from one implementation to the other.
If much of your work is going to be transferred between your machine and Windows machines running either MS Excel or MS Word, with editing taking place at both ends of the tunnel, then you'll probably be better off with Office, or one of the Office clones on the Mac end.

Hi bkshn,
This error is caused by the missing "Main" method in your project. it is the entry point of your project.
If you want to create a EF project, you could follow the way in the aricle below.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/ee712907#codefirst
The Main method is like below.
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
using (var db = new BloggingContext())
// Create and save a new Blog
Console.Write("Enter a name for a new Blog: ");
var name = Console.ReadLine();
var blog = new Blog { Name = name };
db.Blogs.Add(blog);
db.SaveChanges();
// Display all Blogs from the database
var query = from b in db.Blogs
orderby b.Name
select b;
Console.WriteLine("All blogs in the database:");
foreach (var item in query)
Console.WriteLine(item.Name);
Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit...");
Console.ReadKey();
And you could start to learn the EF from the following MSDN blogs.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/ee712907
If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.
