Obsolete ABAP statements/FM/BAPI in sap 4.7
dear experts
pls gv me the details of obsolete ABAP statements/FM/BAPI in sap 4.7 and their replacement in ECC 6.0,the statements should be related to MODULE POOL ,reports
Hello
ERP 6.0 implies Unicode as well. Therefore have a look at [ABAP and Unicode|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/62/3f2cadb35311d5993800508b6b8b11/content.htm]
You will find useful documentation in the ABAP keyword documenation (ERP 6.0) as well:
Obsolete Statements
The statements described in this subnode are obsolete and are only still available for reasons of compatibility with releases prior to 4.6 or 6.10. You may still come across these statements in old programs but you should not use them in new programs.
Most of the obsolete statements listed here are syntactically forbidden in ABAP Objects or in Unicode programs. As a result, they can now only be used outside of classes or non-Unicode programs. There are replacement constructions for all obsolete statements which improve the efficiency and readability of programs.
Apart from the obsolete statements listed in this node, there are also obsolete variants and additions for non-obsolete statements. These cannot be used in ABAP Objects and Unicode programs either. They are detailed in the description of the corresponding statements.

Uwe

Obsolete ABAP Statements from 2004s - what about your existing code-base?
Hi
Note: This is a question for someone that has a very deep understanding of the SAP compiler either through research or through actually working on the Netweaver Code stack
Since upgrading from 4.7 to ECC6 the ABAP compiler has become a lot stricter on the use of certain statements in the OO context.
For instance you're not allowed to use the statement LIKE, but in stead have to use TYPE and internal tables does not have an implicit header line, etc.
These restrictions are explained in greater detail [here:|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu/en/ABENABAP_OBJECTS_DIFF_TYPES_DATA.htm]
MY QUESTION: To what extent does this restriction affect your existing code-base?.
We have over a thousand "Classes" written since 1998 in OO as far as it was available at the time. For the most part each class is its own include in SE38, with the class definition and implementation together in this include.
Up to now, we could successfully change and activate these classes as long as the main program was pre-existing in 4.7. Now we are trying to use one of these older classes in a new main program for regression test purposes, and we are getting the following error:
"Within classes and interfaces, you can only use "TYPE" to refer to ABAP Dictionary types (not "LIKE" or "STRUCTURE")."
This error is valid as per the current definition of the SAP language.
BUT I'm concerned about the confidence we can have that SAP will continue to interpret and execute existing code correctly. So far it has, but I would like to know wheter that is by chance, or by design.Hello Esti
Thank you for your explanation which shows that I misunderstood your question.
I would have expected that all of your syntactically incorrect coding would not be executed, irrespective of whether it is an old or a new program. My interpretation of this system behaviour is that the syntax check appears to be release-dependent.
A possible way to check this would be to manipulate the TRDIR entry for one of your old programs. You will find a field LEVL with the following meaning:
DE RDIR_LEVL
Short Text
Level
Definition
System release under which the ABAP/4 program was created or last
changed.
Another way would be to copy an old program to a new Z-program which should fail in the syntax check. Check again if you find any significant difference in their TRDIR entries.
Coming back to you question and the remark by Dion I am convinced that one of the biggest threats for each and every SAP customer is custom coding of poor quality, i.e.
"spaghetti" coding instead of structured programming
incomprehensible coding (at least for the developers who did NOT create the program)
low transparency resulting in high efforts to enhance or improve the coding
In your case: the possible breakdown of your coding depending on unknown external factors
Given the huge amount of coding that is affected from these unknown external factors I would classify your situation as "high risk" which demands rather quick actions. How could you communicate this to your management team?
Here are two possible suggestions:
(1) It is possible that your entire custom coding may be no longer executable after a SAP release upgrade. Thus, the currenct coding base may prevent one of the next upgrades.
I guess this is not yet impressive enough for a manager because usually a SAP customer is not forced to upgrade its SAP system in order to get new functionalities which are required for legal reasons.
(1.a) It is possible that your entire custom coding may no longer be executable after importing ABA and/or BASIS hot packages.
Given the fact that we need to import such packages quite frequently and sometimes they are mandatory (I think especially of SAP-HR systems) then I would be scared as a manager.
(2) Assuming that most of your Z-reports are started via Z-transactions and perhaps you are lucky and you have specific roles containing these Z-transactions then you may ask your management team to do a simulation of coding breakdown: remove the role assignments for a couple of users and see what happens.
(2.a) As an alternative you may try to lock Z-transactions via SM01 and again check for the user reactions.
If your managment team is still not impressed then I would set up a document with the following contents:
Explain the problems of the old coding base and why you could not anticipate future changes of the ABAP syntax check
Describe the possible scenario if the custom coding no longer works after an upgrade or hot package import
Describe the required actions to make your custom coding compatible to the latest ABAP release
Most important: urge your management team to sign this document. If one day your custom coding breaks and they are looking for somebody to blame you just take this document out from the bottom of the deck

Can we call bapi from SAP or ABAP How? Pls Step by step
Can we call bapi from SAP How? Pls Step by step
thank you,
Regards,
Jagrut BharatKumar ShuklaHi,
Do you mean you want to access BAPI in ABAP report?
If yes, then YES we can call,
1.Create a report -> In pattern write your BAPI name.
2. It is like your FM , Read correspoding BAPI documentation
3. Fill required parametes.
4. Test run and if successful , final run it.
And from Outside,
You have to establish a connection and create a wrapper and access using avaialble APIs.

ECC 6.0 Upgrade from R/3 4.6B - Obsolete ABAP Language
Hello all,
I am part of a team that is performing an upgrade to ECC 6.0 from R/3 4.6B. I was wondering if all of the reports, FM, etc. that were developed under "old" ABAP will have to be modified in order to comply with the <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/5ac31178-0701-0010-469a-b4d7fa2721ca">Obsolete ABAP Language Constructs</a>.
If the code still works after the upgrade is it necessary to perform all these modifications?
Thank you very much in advance,
Best Regards,
EzequielI would say that is is not necessary. From the second paragraph of your link:
"Although you are generally not forced to modify your existing programs to represent these changes, it would be a very good practice to implement these rules and constructs with any new code development and coding samples." -
Extraction of data from SAP R/3 Bapi into SAP BW
hi,
i am extracting data from sap r/3 bapi into sap bw. can u please send me the link and documents of how to extract the data from bapi to sap bw.
Answers will be rewarded
Thanks
sd shahidHi Swapnali,
In your case you have to send process order to XI and you have a bapi that satisfies your requirement.
Here the solution depends what is the triggerring point of the Interface.
If you want that from SAP side Interface should be triggered, then Use ABAP proxy program
You have to craete a Abap proxy class using outbound message interafce defined in IR of XI.This can be done by transaction SPROXY.
Then create a program that call sync/async method that is created by Sproxy t.code.
In this way , when u will execute the proxy program in R/3 , then call will be made to BAPI in Sap from XI server and u will get output back to your proxy program.
If your requirement is to not to trigger from SAP then nothing is required in R/3 side.
In XI , Bapi will be added in imported objects in Integration repository and bapi will be called.
Hope this will help u.
Please revert in case of queries.

In which cases can the ABAP statement CALL TRANSFORMATION be used?
Hi friends,
here is my questions with options below.
In which cases can the ABAP statement CALL TRANSFORMATION be used? (T/F)
-To transform as iXML document object into and ABAP data structure using
XSLT.
- To transform an XML document contained in a string into another XML
document
using and XSLT program.
- To get canonic XML display of an ABAP data structure.
- To transform an XML document contained in an xstring into another XLM
document using an ST program (Simple Transformation).
- To transform and ABAP data structure into an SML document using ST.
Kindly give me the expalnation to each statement with either True or False.CALL TRANSFORMATION is a new language element in ABAP that we can use to <b>call up the transformation</b>.
The type of transformation:
XML to XML
XML to ABAP
ABAP to XML or
ABAP to ABAP is already determined by the two additions SOURCE and RESULT in CALL TRANSFORMATION.
Check this link for more details.

issue..
I have a char field lenth 30, this field is the input field from the SAP master data.
when evert the user enter the field between , before or after space i want to delete the space it could not to allow.
i have used the condance field nane with NO-GAPS. this is working fine as of now.
when the user copy from the EXCEL sheet and past into sap that field is comming as blank field it is not appearing in debug mode also. bit storing in database table as a field plus space.
this field i copied and i have seen in MS-WORD here is was showing sapace as the # charactor.
this issue how can i handle in my progam. is thare any statement to delete non sap char.
please help me on this.

Hi all,
does anyone know what the abap statement RSYN is for?
I haven't found anything about it in help docs.
:busHi,
I am getting dump call_function_format_not_sup which showing sapmssy1 program error. i am attaching the dump. plz check and kindly help me.
ABAP/4 runtime error CALL_FUNCTION_FORMAT_NOT_SUP
Occurred on 07.07.2009 at 15:15:18
RFC data format not supported.
What happened?
An error occurred when executing a Remote Function Call.
The current ABAP/4 program "SAPMSSY1" had to be terminated because
one of the statements could not be executed.
This is probably due to an error in the ABAP/4 program.
What can you do?
Print out the error message (using the "Print" function)
and make a note of the actions and input that caused the
error.
To resolve the problem, contact your
SAP system administrator.
Error analysis
A data error occurred when executing a Remote Function Call.
The data format used is not supported by the recipient.
How to correct the error
A 'Remote Function Call' passed data in the incorrect format or
length. If both the calling program and the called program are
ABAP/4 function modules, there is an error in the
SAP system.
If one of these programs is a CPI-C program which interprets the
RFC log itself, the error has probably occurred because the program
does not conform to the standards defined by SAP.

Same ABAP statements for SY-SUBRC 0 or 4
Hi,
I have a READ TABLE statement and if the SY-SUBRC is equal to 0 or 4, the same ABAP statements should be giving to both. What would be the most efficient way of writing this? Should I just not check for for the SY-SUBRC?
Thanks,
RTYou can simply check for 0 and 4, or if there is no chance of sy-subrc being anything other 0 or 4, simply don't check it..
clear itab.
read table itab with key....
check sy-subrc = 0
or sy-subrc = 4.

Is there any possibility to create ABAP Webdyn pro application in SAP 4.6C
HI All,
My client is in SAP 4.6C version want's to devlop some SAP ABAP webdyn pro application for their end user requirement.
Is it possible to do so if yes how ,they are ready to buy the required H/W and S/W component for the same,but they can't upgrade SAP to higher version at this moment.
As per my understanding WebDynpro for ABAP is dependent on current R/3 version. For that one should have mySAP ERP 2005 I guess.correct me if i am wrong .
