MySAP replacements for Excel upload function modules?

I am doing some development in SRM 4.0 (WAS 640) and I notice that a few of my favorite function modules are no longer available. Specifically, I'm missing these the most:
KCD_EXCEL_OLE_TO_INT_CONVERT
ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE
Are there new equivalents? I know how to access XLS files by writing my own OLE calls, but sometimes it's just easier to use the standard function modules instead.
Yes, I've done a function module search, but I've found nothing that looks to the the same as my old friends.

Hi Chris,
I can't give you an alternative function module per say. Obviously, the downside of using SAP functions, that were probably never released for customer consumption anyway is that they can easily disappear. The suggestion I have is to use the features offered by DOI (desktop office integration). There in lies a set of classes and methods for generically accessing various documents (e.g. ms word, excel etc.) There is some examples in the re-use library (tcode se83). So here you don't need to be worried about the OLE either. Possibly in WAS there might also be some other classes that might access Excel sheets. Downside of finding a new function is that it might disappear in the next version you go to, whereas DOI is unlikey to disappear in a hurry. Best of luck.
p.s. there are a few other postings in the forum, maybe one will give you an answer, if you haven't search already.

What is the exact syntax for calling remote function module.

Hi to all
1.....what is the exact syntax for calling remote function module.?
Thanks and regards,
k.swaminath reddy

hi
good
Lets do simple example where you will first create a RFC in one server (say A) and create normal program in othere server (say B). Finally you will call the RFC in A from B.
Do the following steps for creating RFC in server A.
1. log on to server A
2. go to se37
3. Edit -> function groups-> create function group and give the function group name (say ZGRP).
4. create a FM ( say Z_TEST_RFC) in se37 providing the function group which is created just now.
5. go to attribute tab -> choose remote-enabled module from processing type.
so that your FM will become RFC.
6. provide the import parameter in import tab.
we will provide only two import parameters.
- parameter name : P_NUM1, typing: TYPE, associated type : I & check the pass value (all the parameters of RFC must pass by value).
- parameter name : P_NUM2, typing: TYPE, associated type : I & check the pass value
7. provide the export parameter in export tab.
parameter name : P_SUM, typing: TYPE, associated type : I & check the pass value
8. write the given simple code in source code tab.
FUNCTION Z_TEST_RFC.
P_TOT = P_NUM1 + P_NUM2.
ENDFUNCTION.
Do the following steps for creating ABAP program which will call the RFC in server B.
1. se38 - > creat a program.
2. write the given simple code.
data tot type i.
call function 'Z_TEST_RFC' destination 'XXXXXX'
exporting
p_num1 = 10
p_num2 = 15
importing
p_tot = tot.
write tot.
please note that XXXXXX is RFC connection which is avialable in sm59 transaction in server A.
-go to sm59 - > abap connection (list of RFC connection configurations are avialable). choose server B connection and replace it of XXXXXX in the code.
finally you can execute the normal abap program that will call the RFC and display the result.
reward point if helpful.
thanks

A replacement for the Quicksort function in the C++ library

Hi every one,
I'd like to introduce and share a new Triple State Quicksort algorithm which was the result of my research in sorting algorithms during the last few years. The new algorithm reduces the number of swaps to about two thirds (2/3) of classical Quicksort. A multitude
of other improvements are implemented. Test results against the std::sort() function shows an average of 43% improvement in speed throughout various input array types. It does this by trading space for performance at the price of n/2 temporary extra spaces.
The extra space is allocated automatically and efficiently in a way that reduces memory fragmentation and optimizes performance.
Triple State Algorithm
The classical way of doing Quicksort is as follows:
- Choose one element p. Called pivot. Try to make it close to the median.
- Divide the array into two parts. A lower (left) part that is all less than p. And a higher (right) part that is all greater than p.
- Recursively sort the left and right parts using the same method above.
- Stop recursion when a part reaches a size that can be trivially sorted.
The difference between the various implementations is in how they choose the pivot p, and where equal elements to the pivot are placed. There are several schemes as follows:
[ <=p | ? | >=p ]
[ =p | ? ]
[ <=p | =p | ? | >p ]
[ =p | p ] Then swap = part to middle at the end
[ =p | p | =p ] Then swap = parts to middle at the end
Where the goal (or the ideal goal) of the above schemes (at the end of a recursive stage) is to reach the following:
[ p ]
The above would allow exclusion of the =p part from further recursive calls thus reducing the number of comparisons. However, there is a difficulty in reaching the above scheme with minimal swaps. All previous implementation of Quicksort could not immediately
put =p elements in the middle using minimal swaps, first because p might not be in the perfect middle (i.e. median), second because we don’t know how many elements are in the =p part until we finish the current recursive stage.
The new Triple State method first enters a monitoring state 1 while comparing and swapping. Elements equal to p are immediately copied to the middle if they are not already there, following this scheme:
[ p ]
Then when either the left (<p) part or the right (>p) part meet the middle (=p) part, the algorithm will jump to one of two specialized states. One state handles the case for a relatively small =p part. And the other state handles the case for a relatively
large =p part. This method adapts to the nature of the input array better than the ordinary classical Quicksort.
Further reducing number of swaps
A typical quicksort loop scans from left, then scans from right. Then swaps. As follows:
while (l<=r)
while (ar[l]<p)
l++;
while (ar[r]>p)
r--;
if (l<r)
{ Swap(ar[l],ar[r]);
l++; r--;
else if (l==r)
{ l++; r--; break;
The Swap macro above does three copy operations:
Temp=ar[l]; ar[l]=ar[r]; ar[r]=temp;
There exists another method that will almost eliminate the need for that third temporary variable copy operation. By copying only the first ar[r] that is less than or equal to p, to the temp variable, we create an empty space in the array. Then we proceed scanning
from left to find the first ar[l] that is greater than or equal to p. Then copy ar[r]=ar[l]. Now the empty space is at ar[l]. We scan from right again then copy ar[l]=ar[r] and continue as such. As long as the temp variable hasn’t been copied back to the array,
the empty space will remain there juggling left and right. The following code snippet explains.
// Pre-scan from the right
while (ar[r]>p)
r--;
temp = ar[r];
// Main loop
while (l<r)
while (l<r && ar[l]<p)
l++;
if (l<r) ar[r--] = ar[l];
while (l<r && ar[r]>p)
r--;
if (l<r) ar[l++] = ar[r];
// After loop finishes, copy temp to left side
ar[r] = temp; l++;
if (temp==p) r--;
(For simplicity, the code above does not handle equal values efficiently. Refer to the complete code for the elaborate version).
This method is not new, a similar method has been used before (read: http://www.azillionmonkeys.com/qed/sort.html)
However it has a negative side effect on some common cases like nearly sorted or nearly reversed arrays causing undesirable shifting that renders it less efficient in those cases. However, when used with the Triple State algorithm combined with further common
cases handling, it eventually proves more efficient than the classical swapping approach.
Run time tests
Here are some test results, done on an i5 2.9Ghz with 6Gb of RAM. Sorting a random array of integers. Each test is repeated 5000 times. Times shown in milliseconds.
size std::sort() Triple State QuickSort
5000 2039 1609
6000 2412 1900
7000 2733 2220
8000 2993 2484
9000 3361 2778
10000 3591 3093
It gets even faster when used with other types of input or when the size of each element is large. The following test is done for random large arrays of up to 1000000 elements where each element size is 56 bytes. Test is repeated 25 times.
size std::sort() Triple State QuickSort
100000 1607 424
200000 3165 845
300000 4534 1287
400000 6461 1700
500000 7668 2123
600000 9794 2548
700000 10745 3001
800000 12343 3425
900000 13790 3865
1000000 15663 4348
Further extensive tests has been done following Jon Bentley’s framework of tests for the following input array types:
sawtooth: ar[i] = i % arange
random: ar[i] = GenRand() % arange + 1
stagger: ar[i] = (i* arange + i) % n
plateau: ar[i] = min(i, arange)
shuffle: ar[i] = rand()%arange? (j+=2): (k+=2)
I also add the following two input types, just to add a little torture:
Hill: ar[i] = min(i<(size>>1)? i:size-i,arange);
Organ Pipes: (see full code for details)
Where each case above is sorted then reordered in 6 deferent ways then sorted again after each reorder as follows:
Sorted, reversed, front half reversed, back half reversed, dithered, fort.
Note: GenRand() above is a certified random number generator based on Park-Miller method. This is to avoid any non-uniform behavior in C++ rand().
The complete test results can be found here:

Theoretical Analysis
A Classical Quicksort algorithm performs less than 2n*ln(n) comparisons on the average (check JACEK CICHON’s paper) and less than 0.333n*ln(n) swaps on the average (check Wild and Nebel’s paper). Triple state will perform about the same number of comparisons
but with less swaps of about 0.222n*ln(n) in theory. In practice however, Triple State Quicksort will perform even less comparisons in large arrays because of a new 5 stage pivot selection algorithm that is used. Here is the detailed theoretical analysis:
http://solostuff.net/tsqsort/Asymptotic_analysis_of_Triple_State_Quicksort.pdf
Using SSE2 instruction set
SSE2 uses the 128bit sized XMM registers that can do memory copy operations in parallel since there are 8 registers of them. SSE2 is primarily used in speeding up copying large memory blocks in real-time graphics demanding applications.
In order to use SSE2, copied memory blocks have to be 16byte aligned. Triple State Quicksort will automatically detect if element size and the array starting address are 16byte aligned and if so, will switch to using SSE2 instructions for extra speedup. This
decision is made only once when the function is called so it has minor overhead.
Few other notes
- The standard C++ sorting function in almost all platforms religiously takes a “call back pointer” to a comparison function that the user/programmer provides. This is obviously for flexibility and to allow closed sourced libraries. Triple State
defaults to using a call back function. However, call back functions have bad overhead when called millions of times. Using inline/operator or macro based comparisons will greatly improve performance. An improvement of about 30% to 40% can be expected. Thus,
I seriously advise against using a call back function when ever possible. You can disable the call back function in my code by #undefining CALL_BACK precompiler directive.
- Like most other efficient implementations, Triple State switches to insertion sort for tiny arrays, whenever the size of a sub-part of the array is less than TINY_THRESH directive. This threshold is empirically chosen. I set it to 15. Increasing this
threshold will improve the speed when sorting nearly sorted and reversed arrays, or arrays that are concatenations of both cases (which are common). But will slow down sorting random or other types of arrays. To remedy this, I provide a dual threshold method
that can be enabled by #defining DUAL_THRESH directive. Once enabled, another threshold TINY_THRESH2 will be used which should be set lower than TINY_THRESH. I set it to 9. The algorithm is able to “guess” if the array or sub part of the array is already sorted
or reversed, and if so will use TINY_THRESH as it’s threshold, otherwise it will use the smaller threshold TINY_THRESH2. Notice that the “guessing” here is NOT fool proof, it can miss. So set both thresholds wisely.
- You can #define the RANDOM_SAMPLES precompiler directive to add randomness to the pivoting system to lower the chances of the worst case happening at a minor performance hit.
-When element size is very large (320 bytes or more). The function/algorithm uses a new “late swapping” method. This will auto create an internal array of pointers, sort the pointers array, then swap the original array elements to sorted order using minimal
swaps for a maximum of n/2 swaps. You can change the 320 bytes threshold with the LATE_SWAP_THRESH directive.
- The function provided here is optimized to the bone for performance. It is one monolithic piece of complex code that is ugly, and almost unreadable. Sorry about that, but inorder to achieve improved speed, I had to ignore common and good coding standards
a little. I don’t advise anyone to code like this, and I my self don’t. This is really a special case for sorting only. So please don’t trip if you see weird code, most of it have a good reason.
Finally, I would like to present the new function to Microsoft and the community for further investigation and possibly, inclusion in VC++ or any C++ library as a replacement for the sorting function.
You can find the complete VC++ project/code along with a minimal test program here:
http://solostuff.net/tsqsort/
Important: To fairly compare two sorting functions, both should either use or NOT use a call back function. If one uses and another doesn’t, then you will get unfair results, the one that doesn’t use a call back function will most likely win no matter how bad
it is!!

Thanks for your interest.
Excuse my ignorance as I'm not sure what you meant by "1 of 5" optimization. Did you mean median of 5 ?
Regarding swapping pointers, yes it is common sense and rather common among programmers to swap pointers instead of swapping large data types, at the small price of indirect access to the actual data through the pointers.
However, there is a rather unobvious and quite terrible side effect of using this trick. After the pointer array is sorted, sequential (sorted) access to the actual data throughout the remaining of the program will suffer heavily because of cache misses.
Memory is being accessed randomly because the pointers still point to the unsorted data causing many many cache misses, which will render the program itself slow, although the sort was fast!!.
Multi-threaded qsort is a good idea in principle and easy to implement obviously because qsort itself is recursive. The thing is Multi-threaded qsort is actually just stealing CPU time from other cores that might be busy running other apps, this might slow
down other apps, which might not be ideal for servers. The thing researchers usually try to do is to do the improvement in the algorithm it self.
I Will try to look at your sorting code, lets see if I can compile it.

Issue in creating web service for a ABAP Function Module

Hi,
now i'm learning how to create web service for a ABAP Function Module. I used the following steps.
1. select the Function Module, named "zws_test".
2. in the context menu, select "create->proxy object". so we enter into wizard.
3. in the wizard, press the radio button "Service Provider".
4. in the next page, press the radio button "Existing ABAP Objects(Inside Out)".
5. In the next page, Enter the "zws_test_prvider" as Service Definition and select "Function Module" as Endpoint Type.
6. in the next page, enter "zws_test" as Function Module and mark the "Mapping der Namen" button
7. in the next page,select "PRF_DT_IF_SEC_LOW" as Profile and mark "Deploy Service".
8. Save in the local package.
9. then it will pop up a window with title "WSDL Source". i selected "URL/HTTP Destination" and press "OK".
10.in the next page, i enter the URL as "http://hostname:portnumber/", and press "OK".
11. then it will pop up a window with title "Display logs". A record with error message "HTTP error(return code 404, message "Not found")" appears.
12. i press "ok" and a service provider with name "zws_test_prvider" appears in my local package.
13. i use "zws_test_prvider"'s URL to create a service consumer "ZCO_WS_TEST_CONSUMER" and logic portal "LP1".
14. But when i test my service consumer "ZCO_WS_TEST_CONSUMER", it will throw an exception "cx_ai_system_fault" with errortext "SOAP:14 Unexpected element -el=definitions ns=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/".
15. I use t-code SM59 to test connection and get the following info.
      Status HTTP Response     200
      Status Text                      OK
      Duration Test Call             328 ms.

If there is no documentation provided for the standard function module in SE37 what is the best way to understand the functionality of the function module?Is there any where we can find the documentation?
Please dont say the From coding part its too vast to understand
Ex: HRCM_ORGSTRC_INFO_TABLE_GET
Paint for me ..

Problem with excel upload function

Hello all,
I'm currently doing a modification in a program that uses this function:
call function 'KCD_EXCEL_OLE_TO_INT_CONVERT'
 exporting
 filename = p_file
 range_begin = 'A1'
 range_end = 'I9999'
 tables
 intern = t_excel
 exceptions
 others = 1.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
 berror = 'X'.
 message i208(00) with 'Error Load Excel File'.
 stop.
endif.
instead of upload the content of the excel to internal table, its literally copying the content of my clipboard to it.
Someone know why this is happening?
My version of SAP is the 4.0b and I looked for the alsm_excel_to_internal_table function, but my version don't have it.
Thanks

Hi,
an excel sheet can be uploaded in to a internal table of similar sequence and type using the following FMs
TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP
ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE
I think you already checked with the FMs UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD.
Thanks,
Teja.

Syntax check for tables and function modules

Hi,
I am writing a program that perform syntax check on object such as executable programs , function modules and tables.
Syntax check works fine for programs, but not for tables.
How can I perform syntax check on my tables or structures?
I get my data from the table TADIR. But I don't get my function modules from there. What is the table for this.
Thanks 4 ur replies.
Parvez

hi
good
generally in sap while creating a table or structure we get the error and we solved them,but like reports during runtime it is not possible to check the syntax of a table or structure.
thanks

When we go for Views and Function Modules for Generic Extraction

Hi Experts,
Can you please explain when we go for extracting the data using Views and when we got using Function Modules using Generic Extraction from R/3 system to BW with examples. And also can you explain when we go for delta for the above both scenarios.
Thanks for you help in advance
Rohith

Hi,
Scenario for Extarction using FM
Imagine the scenario where you need to extract data from
tables having no common field between them and thereby preventing you from creating a view on top of those tables..
Or simply consider tables that are highly unrelatd in terms of fields, but you have a requiremnt to extract data from them.
Also Refer.

Scenario for Extraction using View
If there are more number of tables and data in those tables can be represented using joins then we can use this type of extraction

How to create dropdown list for custom remote function module

HI ,
       I created a custom remote function module for a ztable.table having four fields.But now the requirement is to maintain the dropdown list for input parameter .
For eg: I maintain Input parameter as action.For that Action we have to maintain a dropdown list(display,insert,update and delete values ) in function module.Is it possible.

Hi
Try using POPUP_GET_VALUES function module in the begining of the Function module this gives a POP to provide a value to you
In this you can provide a value
Check the import parameters of this Function module if it has COMBOBOX as parameter ( I dont have SAP access at this point of time) you can pass X to it so you get List box for the following fields
Create a domain to field and assing fixed values to it and use it in any table(As this works with only existing tables)
refresh fields.
DATA: fields LIKE SVAL OCCURS 0.
fields-tabname = 'MAKT'.
FILEDS-FIELDNAME = 'MAKTX'.
APPEND FIELDS.
CALL FUNCTION 'POPUP_GET_VALUES' " Try copying this in a Test program and execute
        EXPORTING
          POPUP_TITLE = 'Enter Mail Id here'
          START_COLUMN = '5'
          START_ROW    = '5'
        IMPORTING
          RETURNCODE   = SRETURN
        TABLES
          FIELDS       = FIELDS.

Bom for production order - Function module

Hi
I'm looking for a function module or bapi which can provide me with the BOM for a specific production order.
The FM should also handle changes to the BOM and just show me the updated BOM on the production order.
KR
Jesper Dueholm

Dear JDU,
You can use this FM BAPI_PRODORD_GET_DETAIL if you want to get the BOM components related to the production order or
use FM,CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2 for getting BOM multi-level display.
There is no functional Module through which you can do BOM changes in the production order or in the BOM and it has to
reflect the changes in the order immediately.
Check these functional modules for BOM change,
S_BI_BOM_CHANGE_BATCH_INPUT Change bill of material via batch input
S_BI_CHG_CHANGE_BATCH_INPUT
S_CL_P_ITM_MASS_CHANGE
S_CL_S_ITM_CHANGE
S_CL_S_ITM_CHANGE_COMPLETE
S_CL_S_ITM_ODP_CHANGE
S_CL_S_SUI_CHANGE
S_CL_P_BOM_MASS_CHANGE
S_CL_S_BGR_CHANGE

Webdynpro for class or function module

i want to create employee detail page in abap webdynpro and few other pages....how i should do this
should i go for functional module creation and implement it or
i should create class and that class i should implement and any good example to learn how to implement class in abap
webdynpro.....
please help me with good toturial

Class methodology is the future.
In this case, i would build an instantiated class where you would select all the details for 1 employee. Store those in attributes.
create methods for other functionality such as retrieving additional data, calculations etc...
EDIT: I should also point out that you should continue to add attributes and methods to your class until you model an entire employee object.
that way anyone who wants to know anything about an EE can just instantiate your class and retrieve the appropriate attribute or use a method to determine what they need.
