I have few basic questions
1) Can you please guide me if it is required to have a ABAP prgramming knowledge to learn the above.
2) how much time it will take to learn the above.
3) If any one can give me some links on the above or suggest good books.
I have a prgramming background but in Java which was also long back.

Dear Siddharth,
Thanks a lot for your immediate reply..
I have observed that default RFC destinations for IGS exists in SAP when I checked using tnx SM59. i.e IGS_RFC_DEST and
GFW_ITS_RFC_DEST .
When I executed tnx SIGS, IGS administration page is opening properly. Please let me know where else shall I need to check for IGS.
Mean while we will apply SAP notes which u have suggested.
Kind regards,

Anything new about abap web dynpro?

Hi out there!
(First, I'm sorry: I know, this question is related to Web AS General-forum, but I think, I wouldn't get any answer there.)
Is there anything new about abap web dynpro? Just saying wait for nw05? No nice preview/minisap/promotion? Perhaps documents in service.sap.com? I read, it is used in some ramp-ups for ecc 05 (neither knowing, what it is). Is there nothing to say about? Is it drag&drop deployment like java webdynpro or more coding like mvc-"Basteln" in abap/bsp? Are BSP-Extensions used there? Something exiting new?
That are enougth questions for starting.

Brian McKellar is gonna lock this thread:-)
Anyway you can find some info about WebDynpro for ABAP in the Teched 2003 presentations in SDN and there is a quite detailed overview with examples in the Online help.
For the linux version of NW'04 MiniSAP the non-supported version ABAP Dynpro is available....anyway for MiniSAP you don't get support;-)
Peter
Ps: "Something exiting new?"
The whole thing is something really exiting!!!

New to ABAP Enhancements

Hi Experts,
As I am new to ABAP Enhancements can anyone guide with the navigations on how to proceed for creating an enhanced object.I will be helpful if u can provide it with some examples.
Thanks & Regards,
Naresh

Hi,
Overview of Customer Exits
The SAP application programmer plans possible application enhancements
in an application and defines the necessary components. These
components are combined in SAP enhancements.The programmers document their enhancements as best they can so that customers can implement the enhancements without having to analyze the program source code or the screen source code.
First, create an enhancement project and then choose the SAP
enhancements you want to use.
Next, edit your individual components using the project management
function and document the entire enhancement project.
Finally, activate the enhancement project. This activates all the component
parts of the project.
The transaction, CMOD, starts the project management function. You
must give your enhancement project a name. SAP recommends that you
think up a naming convention for all your projects. You caninclude the
transaction or module pool of the project in its name. All the enhancement
project names must be unique.
Next, go to the attributes of the project and enter a short text describing
the enhancenent project. The system inserts all the other attributes of the
project, such as created by, created on, and or status.
Use the project management function to assign SAP enhancements to
customer enhancement projects. Enter the names of the SAP enhancements
you want to use on the appropriate screen.
The search function gives you a catalog-like overview of existing SAP
enhancements. From there, you can select the enhancements that are of
interest to you.
Use the product management function to edit the components of your
enhancement project.
Depending on whether the component you are editing is a function
module, a menu entry, or a subscreen, you branch to either the Function
Builder, a dialog box for entering menu entries, or to the Screen Painter.
Activation of an enhancement project affects all its components. After it
has been activated successfully, the project has the status, active.
During activation, all programs, screens, and menus that contain the
components that belong to the project are regenerated (programs at the
time they are executed). After activation, you can see the effect of the
enhancements in your application functions.
The Deactivate function allows you to reset the status of an active
enhancement project to inactive.
When the enhancement project was created, you should have assigned
it to a change request. Each of the component pieces, such as include
programs, subscreens, and menu exits, should be assigned to the same
change request. Using the same change request allows you to transport
the entire enhancement at the same time.
Function Module Exits
Function module exits allow customers to implement additional logic
in application functions. SAP application programmers define where
function module exits are inserted and what type of data they transfer.
SAP programmers also create the corresponding function modules of an
exit complete with short text, interface, and documentation, as well as
describing the intended purpose of each function module in the SAP
documentation.
You write the source code for the function modules yourself. If need be,
you can also create your own screens, text elements, and includes for the
function group.
The system processes your ABAP code when the enhancement project of
which your function module is a component is activated. Function module
exits have no effect prior to enhancement project activation.
The exit function module is called in the PAI logic of a screen at a position
determined by the SAP application developer. Within the function module,
the user can add the functions in the customer namespace using an include.
To call function modules, use the ABAP statement: CALL
CUSTOMER-FUNCTION nnn, where nnn is a three-digit number. The
programmer must also create the function module the developer wants to
call and its related function group.
These function modules always belong to function groups, the names of
which begin with X (X function group).
The following naming convention applies to function modules:
 Prefix:EXIT
 Name: Name of the program that calls the function module
 Suffix: Three-digit number
The three parts of the name are separated by an underscore.
The CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION statement is only executed after
the enhancement project has been activated. Multiple calls of the same
function module are all activated at the same time.
The most frequently asked question concerning enhancements is how can
you see if an application program offers a function module exit? There are
a number of ways to find the answer to this question.
To see quickly if an application program offers a function module exit, you
can follow the path on the left side of the figure: The menu path System→
Status always displays the name of the current application program. In
this example, a suitable character string would be CALL CUSTOMER.
Click the Find icon and search globally in the program. If your search doesnot provide any results, you can define a larger search area. Determine
the environment for the corresponding program and look for the specific
character string in the program environment.
The right side of the figure shows you howto find the name of the required
enhancement using search tools. You can restrict the search in the SAP R/3
Repository Information System using different criteria. These are:
 Development class (also try generic entries)
 Technical name of the enhancement
Use the project management, transaction: CMOD function, to edit the
function modules for function module exits.
Use the button for editing components to go directly to the function
module editor (display mode).
Do not change the function module itself. It is especially important that
you do not alter the interface in any way. The function module, contains
an INCLUDE statement for an include program that you have to create
in the customer namespace.
Select the include name beginning with ZX. This automatically takes you
to the editor of the include program, where you can enter your code.
To understand how an X function group works, you need to understand
how a normal function group works:
 A function group consists of includes. The system assigns unique the
names to the includes for different objects. Some of the include names
are simply proposals and some cannot be changed.
 Global data is stored in the TOP include. This include is generated
automatically when a function group is created.
 Function modules are stored in includes with sequential numbering
and they, in turn, are all stored in an include ending with UXX.
 Although can freely choose the names of the includes for all other
objects such as subroutines, modules, and events, it is a good idea
to accept the proposed names.
Exit function groups created by SAP application programmers for
enhancement exits contain include programs that begin with either LX or
ZX. You can only edit includes beginning with a Z because they are stored
in the customer namespace.
No further function modules may be added to the function group.
The include program, ZxaaaUnn contains the source code for the function
modules of a function module exit.
SAP application programmers can declare global data in include program,
LXaaaTAP.
You can declare your global data in the include, ZXaaaTOP.
Include program, LXaaaTOP also contains the FUNCTION-POOL statement,
which may not be changed. For this reason, you must always include the
message class in parentheses when outputting messages. For example,
MESSAGE E500 (EU) .
The INCLUDE statement for program ZXaaaUnn is in a FUNCTION -
ENDFUNCTION block. Because of this, neither events, nor subroutines(
FORM ), nor modules ( MODULE ) are allowed here. They can be created in
separate includes, which is explained later. Data declarations made here
with DATA are valid locally in this function module.
The SAP application programmer can also make a proposal for the source
text. In this case, an INCLUDE LXaaFnn is created, where nn is the
internal number for the function module in the include, LXaaaUXX ).
Documentation is also provided within the SAP enhancement. You can
copy the source code fromthis include into your own customer include
program, ZxaaaUnn, using the project management transaction.
You can create your own text elements for the function group.
SAP application programmers can supply you with default subroutines
in the include, LXaaaF01.
There could be further includes containing specific subobjects:
 LX...F01 contains the subroutines delivered by SAP
 LX...E01 contains the events belonging to the X function group
 LX...O01 contains the PBO modules for the screens to be delivered
 LX...I01 contains the corresponding PAI modules
Subroutines, modules, and interactive events (AT) are created as include
programs and included enhancements using the include program,
ZXaaaZZZ.
Additional includes must adhere to the following naming convention:
 ZXaaaFnn for subroutines
 ZXaaaOnnforPBOmodules
 ZXaaaInn for PAI modules
 ZXaaaEnn for events
You can use CALL SCREEN to call your own screens. Create the related
include programs for the Process Before Output (PBO) and Process After
Input (PAI) modules in the include program, ZXaaaZZZ .
Use forward navigation (select an object and then double-click it) to create
your own screens and modules.
Screens created in this way are automatically given the name of the
function modules main program, SAPLXaaa . The PBO modules for these
screens can be found in the include, ZXaaaO01 , and the PAImodules
in the include, ZXaaaI01 .
You can enhance SAP applications by adding your own processing logic
at predefined points.
Such enhancements can include your own screenswith their corresponding
processing logic and graphical user interface as well as text elements
created by customers.

*New to ABAP: what is Report*

Hi Gurus,
i am new to ABAP.If any body can explain about what is report and how many types are there to create internal tables.
points will be reward.
Thanks,
Balakrishna.

hi naidu,
When you are working in the SAP System, you may want to access information from the database. To do this, you use reports.
In this documentation, report refers to the report program, and list refers to the output u2013 that is, the results of the report.
Some reports display information; others allow you to perform analyses.
A report must be started, or executed. In many cases, the SAP System automatically executes a report. Sometimes, however, you will want to execute a report yourself.
In addition to report programs, the SAP System provides numerous reporting tools, each of which has its own set of procedures for executing report programs.
This documentation describes report programs only. For an introduction to the SAP reporting tools, refer to the Reporting Made Easy guidebooks (Release 4.0B). You can find these guidebooks at: www.saplabs.com/rme
In ABAP, there are a total of 7 types of reports. They are:
Classical
Interactive
Logical Database
ABAP query
ALV Reports (ALV stands for ABAP List Viewer)
Report Writer/Report Painter Views (There are different types of views also)
[Edit section] Classical Reports
These are the most simple reports. Programmers learn this one first. It is just an output of data using the Write statement inside a loop.
Classical reports are normal reports. These reports are not having any sub reports. IT IS HAVING ONLY ONE SCREEN/LIST FOR OUTPUT.
Events In Classical Reports.
INTIALIZATION: This event triggers before selection screen display.
AT-SELECTION-SCREEN: This event triggers after proccesing user input still selection screen is in active mode.
START OF SELECTION: Start of selection screen triggers after proceesing selection screen.
END-OF-SELECTION : It is for Logical Database Reporting.
[Edit section] Interactive Reports
As the name suggests, the user can Interact with the report. We can have a drill down into the report data. For example, Column one of the report displays the material numbers, and the user feels that he needs some more specific data about the vendor for that material, he can HIDE that data under those material numbers.
And when the user clicks the material number, another report (actually sub report/secondary list) which displays the vendor details will be displayed.
We can have a basic list (number starts from 0) and 20 secondary lists (1 to 21).
Events associated with Interactive Reports are:
AT LINE-SELECTION
AT USER-COMMAND
AT PF<key>
TOP-OF-PAGE DURING LINE-SELECTION.
HIDE statement holds the data to be displayed in the secondary list.
sy-lisel : contains data of the selected line.
sy-lsind : contains the level of report (from 0 to 21)
Interactive Report Events:
AT LINE-SELECTION : This Event triggers when we double click a line on the list, when the event is triggered a new sublist is going to be generated. Under this event what ever the statements that are been return will be displayed on newly generated sublist.
AT PFn: For predefined function keys...
AT USER-COMMAND : It provides user functions keys.
TOP-OF-PAGE DURING LINE-SELECTION :top of page event for secondary list.
[Edit section] Logical Database Reports
Logical database is another tool for ABAP reports. Using LDB we can provide extra features for ABAP reports.
While using LDB there is no need for us to declare Parameters.
Selection-screen as they will be generated automatically.
We have to use the statement NODES in ABAP report.
If there are many tables the Performance will be slow as all the table data will be read from top node to bottom node .
[Edit section] ABAP Query Reports
ABAP query is another tool for ABAP. It provides efficency for ABAP reports. These reports are very accurate.
Transaction Code : SQ01
The advantage with ABAP QUERY is logic required for classic & interactive reports system design automatically 80%.
For ABAP QUERY handle these
SQ01 ; QUERY
SQ02 : INFOSET OR FUNCTIONAL AREA
SQ03: USER GROUP.
[Edit section] Report Writer
Key Concept :
Super users and end users can use Report Painter/Report Writer tools to write their own reports.
Giving them the ability to report on additional fields at their discretion shifts the report maintenance burden to them, saving SAP support groups time and effort normally spent creating and maintaining the reports.
Instead of using ABAP code to write a report in FI and CO, many users build a Report Painter/ Report Writer library using transaction MC27.
However, this workaround has some drawbacks. Little known transaction GRCT solves these problems in most cases, and eliminates the need to use transaction MC27.
ABAP Report Types
ABAP report types are those ones available in some report's attributes screen, i.e. :
Executable program
Function group (containing function modules)
Include
Interface pool
Class pool
Module pool
Subroutine pool
Also ALV means ABAP List Viewer. Most convenient way to use it is through reuse library (cf. transaction se83) available from release 4.6 of SAP R/3.
ALV is available in two modes: list and grid. List mode is good old list processing with standard functionnalities, and grid mode is using a new OCX object displaying grids.
hope its clear to you,
Reward points if usefull,

New for ABAP in functional upgrade from 4.6c to ECC6.0

i want to know the enhancements, additions and changes in the technical side/ABAP , when moved from 4.6c to ECC6.0 in case of FUNCTIONAL UPGRADE only....
our compny has done FUNCTIONAL UPGRADE so far..whats new for technical ppl like us apart from changing bdcs, some missing functions, etc...
thanx,
Naveen Vishal

Hi
Technical upgrade is the fast upgrade without additional functionality but with minor user interface changes to ensure business continuity. In the past, all objects modified by a customer had to be manually re-modified during an upgrade. Now, modifications are either automatically adopted or the system provides you with an assistant for adjusting your modifications to the newly upgraded configuration using transactin SPAU and SPDD.
SPDD: This transaction allows you to adjust modifications to ABAP Dictionary objects during an upgarde.
Using this transaction we can adjust the Domains, Data Elements, Tables, Strcutures, Transparent tables, pooled and cluster tables including their technical settings, indexs of transparent tables. If you adjust data elements that have been changed with the Modification Assistant in an earlier release, the changes can be copied automatically.
Steps to run SPDD:
       1.      1) Start transaction SE03 as user DDIC and choose Administration ® Set system change option
       2.      2) Select Modifiable in the Global setting dialog box.
       3.      3) Choose Continue.
       4.      4) Choose Edit ® Select all.
       5.      5) Save your changes.
       6.      Then log on as a normal user, since user DDIC may not perform any repairs.
SPAU: This transaction allows you to adjust programs, function modules, screens, interfaces, documentation and text elements after an upgrade.
After you adjusted or edited an object, you can use User/Status function to modify the status of the object. Before doing this, you can also add other developers or testers that are allowed to edit the object and create a short note.
Steps to run SPAU:
1) Start transaction SE03 as user DDIC and choose Tools ® Administration ® Set system change option.
       2.      2) Select Modifiablein the Global setting dialog box.
       3.      3) Choose Continue.
       4.      4) Choose Edit ® Select all.
       5.      5) Save your entries.
       6.      Then log on as a normal user, since user DDIC may not perform any repairs.
Other important topics in Technical Upgrade:
Updaring the Development System: Perform the adjust int he development system using SPDD and SPAU transctions and assign to transport requests. The upgrade control program R3up exports the transport that you have marked in a later upgrade phase.
Upgrading the Production System: During this phase, the R3up upgrade control program checks whether there are any change requests registered for transport from the development system to the production system. If this is the case, R3up offers to import the transport automatically, instead of you carrying out adjustments with transactions SPDD/SPAU. If you choose this procedure, you still have the option of stopping SPDD/SPAU to check the changes accepted automatically before they are activated.
If you decide to import a transport automatically, a subsequent analysis checks whether there is an entry in the transport you specified for each modified object found in this SAP System. Only if this is the case is the transport marked as suitable.
If there are more modified objects in the production system than in the test system, they cannot be dealt with by the transport. This means that you have to adjust these objects.
If you had more modified objects in the test system than in the production system and these are also contained in the transport, you import these into the production system with the transport

I'm new at ABAP

Hi there,
im new at SAP and ABAP Programming. I Just want to learn a bit about the Work with ABAP.
So im sure you can help me. Is their a way to install the ABAP Trial Version on a normal Client or is this only working with Win Server2003/2008/2013?
I using a normal Win7 Client and tried to find some Help here but i didn't.
Hope you can help and many thanks in advance.
Jens

Hi Jens,
your workgroup name must be in the same language of the installation with all the priviledges.
go Control Panel --- System and Security --- System
Click 'Advanced system settings'
Click 'Computer Name' tab
Click 'Change'
Type desired workgroup name
Click OK
Reboot
For further help take a look at this thread: Installing the latest Netweaver ABAP trial
Please award points if you find it useful.
Thanks.

Brand New - Jnr ABAP Developer

Hi All,
I am a new ABAP Developer with very little knowledge of the ABAP Industry. I am in desperate need of your assistance.
I am currently busy with the activation of Unicoded Programs and find myself stuck with the following error for the code presented shortly afterwards.
Error: "OUT_TAB-Value" and "Payrt" are not mutually convertible in a unicode program...
Code:
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    out_tab-name = 'PAYR'.
    out_tab-value = payrt.
    APPEND out_tab.
ENDIF.
Is it possible for you guys to assist? If more information is needed please mail me...
Thanks:)

New in ABAP

Hello Everybody
what is the difference between pack and floating point datatypes, i ABAP Objects book, there is mentioned that if you are concious about accuracy then use pack datatype, otherwise use floating point. i write a program
data p1 type p.
p = 3 / 4.
write p. the result of this statement is 0,75
data f1 type f.
f1 = 3 / 4.
write f1 and the result of this is statement is 7,5000000E
so when we use pack number and what floating point give me example in detail and clear
Thanks
Rai

Hi,
This is taken from ABAP Help Documentation.
ABAP contains a range of built-in elementary data types: Character (text), Numerical character (number string), Date, Time Integer, Floating point number, Packed number, and HeX code). Some of these data types are fully types (D, T, I, F), others (C, N, P, X) are generic, in the sense that you must provide further type information (length, for type p also the number of decimal places) when you create the data object .
The value range of type P fields depends on their length and the number of decimal places. P fields can be 1 to 16 bytes long, with two decimal digits packed into each byte, and one decimal digit and the sign packed into the last byte. There can be up to 14 decimal places. Auxiliary fields for intermediate results are always 16 bytes long and can thus hold up to 31 decimal digits. To ensure that the decimal point is correctly calculated, you should always set the program attribute "fixed point arithmetic". Otherwise, all numbers are specified as integers and all intermediate results for the next integer are rounded. If "fixed point arithmetic" is not set, the decimal places defined for the number only appear when outputting with WRITE.
Fixed point arithmetic is decimal arithmetic and is similar to using a pocket calculator or calculating with paper and pencil.
Type P is typically used for sizes, lengths, weights and sums of money.
Rule: If you want to calculate "down to the last penny", you should use the type P.
Type F values range from /- 2.2250738585072014E-308 to 1.7976931348623157E308, as well as the number 0, with an accuracy of at least 15 decimal places.
You cannot enter floating point numbers directly in your programs. Instead, you must use text literals that can be interpreted as floating point numbers. You may use the following formats:
Decimal numbers with or without sign, with or without decimal point. The form <mantissa> E<exponent>, where the mantissa is a decimal. The exponent may be specified either with or without sign. You may also use spaces before or after the number. Examples of text literals with "floating point numbers":
'1', '-12.34567', '-765E-04', '1234E5', '12E34', '+12.3E-4', '1E160'.
Use floating point arithmetic if you need a very large value range or you are making decimal calculations, but be aware of the following features of floating point arithmetic.
Internally, the exponent and the mantissa of floating point numbers are stored separately, each in two parts. This can lead to unexpected results, despite the high degree of intrinsic accuracy. These occur mainly when performing conversions from and to type F.
For example, the number 1.5 can be represented exactly in this notation, since 1.5 = 120 + 12**(-1), but the number 0.15 can only be represented approximately by the number 0,14999999999999999. If you round 0.15 up to 1 valid digit, the result is 0.1 rather than 0.2 as you would expect. On the other hand, the number 1.5E-12 is represented by the number 1.5000000000000001E-12, which would be rounded to 2E-12.
Another example which actually occurred is the calculation of 7.27% of 73050 to an accuracy of 2 decimal places. The intermediate result 5.3107349999999997E+03, since the correct result, 5310.735, cannot be represented exactly in two parts with 53 bits. (If the hardware cannot represent a real number exactly, it uses the next representable floating point number. After rounding, you therefore get 5310.73 rather than 5310.74 as you would expect.
The ABAP runtime system calculates commercially and not "numerically" like the underlying machine arithmetic. According to the rounding algorithm of the latter, the end digit 5 must always be rounded to the nearest even number (not the next largest number), i.e. from 2.5 to 2, 3.5 to 4.
You should also note that multiplication using powers of 10 (positive or negative), is not an exact operation. For example, although 100.5 can be represented exactly in two parts, after the operation
F = F / 100 * 100
F has the value 100.49999999999999.
As well as rounding errors, the restricted number of decimal places for the mantissa can lead to the loss of trailing digits. For example, 1 - 1.0000000000000001 results in zero.
This means that you cannot rely on the last digits in floating point arithmetic. In particular, you should not usually test two floating point numbers for equality; instead, you should check whether the relative difference abs((a - b)/a) is less than a predefined limit, e.g. 10**(-7).
