Possible to trigger output type through Function module?

Hi,
Is it possible to trigger output type through Function modules or through some codings or any standard FM's?
Regards
Bala.

You did not specify what area you need to retrigger an output type for, but here is a sample to retrigger a delivery output.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_LIKP_PROCESS_MSG_DIRECT'
    EXPORTING
DYNAMICOUTPUTDEVICE       =
      processing                       = PROCESSING
SORTMESSAGE               = 1
    TABLES
      deliverynumber                 = delnbrs
      outputtype                       = outputs
      messageprotocol              = bapimsgprot
      return                              = bapiret2.
Thanks

Trigger Output Type through RFC

My requirement is when RFC is called then based on the invoice number and Fax number this RFC should able to create invoice document in PDF format and sent a mail to particular fax number with PDF as attachement.....
we have created output type to trigger the print program which call the smartform then then we convert smartform into PDF format and send a mail so by this we are done with part to create the PDF and email it ...
but the problem is i want to trigger output type when RFC is called....so that it will called the print program and process goes on as planned..?
Is there any FM to trigger O/p type so that i can call it in RFC
or some other option???

Do not trigger output type through BAPI

I have a custom program which modifies purchase orders using the BAPI 'BAPI_PO_CHANGE'. However, when the program modifies the POs, it also triggers the associated output types in the POs.
We want to modify the purchase orders using the custom program but do not want the output types to be triggered. Please let me know whether we have a feasible solution for this requirement.

Hi Dawood,
can you check the parameters
WA_ITEM-NO_MORE_GR= 'X' and NO_MESSAGING = 'X'parameters.

Printing ALV Report output through Function Modules

Hi All,
I want to print my ALV Grid output through function modules/statement (not through print option in menu).
This is because, i am generating a PDF from spool when user clicks on a button. If any changes happened in the ALV output layout, they will be captured in spool through printing it.
So can you please tell me how to print the ALV Output through FMs or sending the ALV output to spool.
Thanks & Regards,
Senthil.
Edited by: senthil nathan on May 17, 2010 2:49 PM

Hi Dev,
Thanks for the reply.
I want to print the ALV when the user clicks on a button in toolbar. Lets say the user has made some changes to the layout, (E.g hiding a field) and when i print that output it should use the changed layout, If i use the FM suggested by you, i cant acheive this.
If you try to print this manually, the system uses the changed layout and not the original. Thats why i want to know FMs/statement to print.

Senthil.

How many types of function modules are there

hi gurus,
how many types of function modules are there...
what type of function module bapi is....
i don't know much about that...
pls help me...
regards,
praveen

hi
hope it will help you.
<REMOVED BY MODERATOR>
Function Modules Used in Script:
In the Driver Program we must use all or some of the function modules that are listed below to transfer the data.
Open_Form
Close_Form
Start_Form
Write_Form
Write_Form_Lines
End_Form
Control_Form
Read_Form_elements
Read_Form_Lines
Any driver program must contain Open_Form, Close_Form and Write_Form. Other function modules are optional.
OPEN_FORM: This function module opens layout set printing. One must call this function module before he uses any of other layout set function modules like Write_Form, Start_Form, Control_Form etc., You need specify a layout set name in the export parameters of this function module. If nothing is passed to Open_Form then one should use Start_Form function module to open layout set before starting the output. The layout set opened by Open_Form should be closed by Close_Form function module, other wise output doesnt appear. We can use any number of Open_Form, Close_Form functions in one single program. But Close_Form must be there for every Open_Form in the program.
Some of the important export parameters we have to pass to Open_Form function module.
Form: Enter the Layout set name here, which then controls the output formatting. If nothing is specified then we must use Start_Form for opening layout set.
Language: Layout sets are Language dependent. Enter the desired language here. If the entered layout set is not in that language, then the function tries to open the Form entered in its original language. The default value is SY-LANGU.
Device: SAP Script can format a text on different device types. The device can be PRINTER or TELEX, TELEFAX, ABAP and SCREEN.
Dialog: Use parameter DIALOG to determine whether to display a dialog box before printing, in which the user can set several spool parameters for print formatting. Possible values: SPACE displays no print parameter screen. 'X' display print parameter screen. Default value: 'X'
Options: Use parameter OPTIONS to set several options for print formatting. The parameter has the structure ITCPO. The user can change some of the defined settings on the print control screen. The default value for Options is . We will discuss about ITCPO structure in detail later.
Other Export, Import and Exceptions are self-explanatory.
Close_Form: The function module closes the layout set opened using OPEN_FORM. The system executes any terminating processing steps for the last opened layout set. No Export parameters for this Function Module.
Start_Form: In-between the function modules OPEN_FORM and CLOSE_FORM, we can use different layout sets. This allows us to combine several different layout sets into one print output. However, we can combine only those layout sets that have the same page format. To switch layout sets, use the function module START_FORM. If another layout set is still open, we must close it first using END_FORM. If we specify no layout set name when calling START_FORM, the system restarts the last open layout set. If after OPEN_FORM no layout set was activated yet, the system leaves the function module with the exception UNUSED. Some of the important export parameters for this function module are
Form: The parameter contains the name of the layout set you want to use for printing. If you specify no layout set here, the system restarts the last active layout set.
Language: Layout sets are language-dependent. Enter the desired language here. If the layout set does not exist in this language, the system tries to call the layout set in its original language. If the parameter LANGUAGE is empty, the system uses the language of the last active layout set.
Startpage: Usually, SAP script starts with the page specified as start page in the layout set definition. If we want to start output with another layout set page, enter the name of the desired layout set page here. If the desired page is not defined, the system uses the start page defined in the layout set.
Program: To replace program symbols, SAP script must know which active program contains the work areas for the values to be passed. If we omit the parameter, the system searches for the field values in the program that was specified in the parameter OPTIONS (field TDPROGRAM) of OPEN_FORM. If we enter a program name, the system replaces the program symbols with the values from this program up to the next END_FORM.
Exceptions and other Export, Import parameters are self-explanatory.
Write_Form: The system outputs the layout set element specified in parameter ELEMENT into the currently opened layout set. In the parameter WINDOW we can specify the name of a window for the output. Remember that the layout set element must be defined in this window. The parameter FUNCTION specifies how to merge the text lines to be output with any existing contents in the window. In this case, there are differences between the different window types or areas. Some of the important export parameters used in Write_Form.
Element: Specify the name of the text element you want to output into the layout set window specified in the parameter WINDOW. The element must be defined in that layout set window. If you specify no element, the system uses the default element, if one is defined in the layout set.
Window: Specify the name of the window into which you want to output the layout set element specified in the parameter ELEMENT. Default value for Window is MAIN.
Function: The parameter determines how to output the text element into the respective window. The output type depends on the window type and area:
Window Type: MAIN Area: BODY
SET/APPEND: Appends to previous output.
Window Type: Main Area: Top/Bottom and
Window Type: Other than Main and all areas
SET : Delete the old element contents and prints the new elements
APPEND: Appends the new content to existing elements.
Type: The system interprets this parameter only for output to the main window. The parameter determines the area of the main window into which we want to output the element. Possible values: 'TOP' header area
'BODY' main area
'BOTTOM' footer area
Default value: 'BODY'
Write_Form_Lines: This function module outputs the text lines in table LINES into the specified layout set window. The text lines must have the SAP script ITF format. From the data in the text header, the system uses only the field TDSTYLE to apply the formatting attributes defined in the specified style for this text. If the field is empty, the system uses the identically named formatting attributes (character and paragraph formats) of the layout set.
Use parameter WINDOW to specify into which of the windows defined in the layout set we want to output the text. We can specify any window used in the layout set. The parameter FUNCTION determines how to merge the text lines to be output with any existing contents in the window. There are differences between the different window types or areas.
Header: This parameter contains the header of the text module we want to output in the current layout set. For the formatting process, the system uses only the entries in the header fields TDSTYLE and TDFORM. Structure: THEAD
WINDOW: Enter the name of the window into which we want to output the layout set element specified in parameter ELEMENT. Default value: 'MAIN'
FUNCTION: This parameter determines how to output the text element into the respective window. The output type depends on the window type and area: Window type MAIN, area BODY: 'SET' append to previous output 'APPEND' same as SET. DELETE' no effect. Window type MAIN, areas TOP and BOTTOM; all other windows: 'SET' delete old window or area contents and output the element 'APPEND' append the element to the existing elements 'DELETE' no effect Default value: 'SET'
TYPE: The system interprets this parameter only for output to the main window. The parameter determines the area of the main window into which you want to output the element. Possible values: 'TOP' header area 'BODY' main area 'BOTTOM' footer area Default value: 'BODY'
END_FORM: END_FORM ends the currently open layout set and executes the required termination processing. After calling this function module, no more layout set is active. For further output, we must start a new layout set using START_FORM. No Export parameters.
CONTROL_FORM: Use this function module to pass SAP Script Control Commands to the layout set. The Control command is passed through the export parameter COMMAND in quotes.
READ_FORM_ELEMENTS: This function module fills a table with all text elements that appear in one layout set. If we specify no layout set name, the system includes all elements of the currently open layout set. If we specify a layout set, the system uses the information about the active version of the layout set, retrieved from the database. Here we have two export parameters, Form and Language and a table parameter Elements.
READ_FORM_LINES: Use this function module to transfer the lines of a layout set element into an internal table. If we specify no layout set name, the system transfers the text lines of the currently open layout set. If we specify a layout set, the system uses the text lines of the active version of the layout set from the database. The Export parameters are Form, Language, Window and Element. If we pass these 4 parameters the function module returns a table with the lines from layout set.
Function modules are one element. There are no types. However sometimes an RFC enabled function module is referred to as RFC Function module, but really it is just a function module. Also BAPIs are function modules, but are usually referred to as just BAPI as opposed to BAPI Function module.
There is no different function module types , but calling the function module will be different.

Storing the output of a function module into a custom table

Hi Gurus,
Is it possible to store the output of a function module into a custom table.How can this be done?Is it complex?

hi,
After u execute the FM and get values in the internal table ITAB_RESULT. Create a custom table having structure same as ITAB_RESULT call it ZRESULT.
data :wa type ITAB_RESULT.
call FM and get result it ITAB_RESULT
loop at itab_result.
move-corresponding itab_result to wa.

Generic Extraction business Requirement, through function module,

Generic Extraction business Requirement, specifically through function module and source code in function module.

Dear Karthik,
Go to transaction SBIW -> Generic Datasource -> Maintain Generic Datasources -> Choose Master/Transaction Data -> Maintain proper entries (Application Component, Descriptions) -> Extraction by FM if you want to extract using FM.
Maintaining Generic DataSources - Independently of application, you can create and maintain generic DataSources for transaction data, master data attributes or texts from any kinds of transparent tables, database views, InfoSets of the SAP query or using a function module. As a result, you can make use of the generic extraction of data.
Creating a Generic DataSource
       1.      Select the DataSource type and give it a technical name.
       2.      Choose Create. The creating a generic DataSource screen appears.
       3.      Choose an application component to which the DataSource is to be assigned.
       4.      Enter the descriptive texts. You can choose any text.
       5.      Choose from which datasets the generic DataSource is to be filled.
                            a.      Choose Extraction from View, if you want to extract data from a transparent table or a database view. Enter the name of the table or the database view.
After generation, you get a DataSource whose extract structure is congruent with the database view or the transparent table view.
For more information about creating and maintaining database views and tables, see the ABAP Dictionary Documentation.
                            b.      Choose Extraction from Query, if you want to use a SAP query InfoSet as the data source. Select the required InfoSet from the InfoSet catalog.
After generation, you now have a DataSource whose extract structure matches the InfoSet.
For more information about maintaining the InfoSet, see the System Administration documentation.
                            c.      Choose Extraction using FM, if you want to extract data using a function module. Enter the function module and extract structure.
The data must be transferred by the function module in an interface table E_T_DATA.
For information about the function library, see the ABAP Workbench: Tools documentation.
                            d.      With texts, you also have the option of extraction from domain fixed values.
Maintain the settings for delta transfer where appropriate.
       7.      Choose Save.
Note when extracting from a transparent table or view:
If the extract structure contains a key figure field, that references to a unit of measure or currency unit field, this unit field must appear in the same extract structure as the key figure field.
A screen appears in which you can edit the fields of the extract structure.
       8.      Editing the DataSource:
       Selection
When scheduling a data request in the BW Scheduler, you can enter the selection criteria for the data transfer. For example, you may want to determine that data requests are only to apply to data from the previous month.
If you set the Selection indicator for a field within the extract structure, the data for this field is transferred in correspondence with the selection criteria in the scheduler.
       Hide field
You should set this indicator to exclude an extract structure field from the data transfer. As a result of your action, the field is no longer made available in BW when setting the transfer rules and generating the transfer structure.
       Inversion
Reverse postings are possible for customer-defined key figures. For this reason, inversion is only possible for certain transaction data DataSources. These include DataSources that have a field that is indicated as an inversion field, for example, the field update mode in the DataSource 0FI_AP_3. If this field has a value, then the data records are interpreted as reverse records in BW.
Set the Inversion indicator if you want to carry out a reverse posting for a customer-defined field (key figure). The value of the key figure is then transferred in inverted form (multiplied by 1) into BW.
       Field only known in exit
You can enhance data by extending the extract structure for a DataSource using fields in append structures.
The indicator Field only known in Exit is set for fields of an append structure. In other words, by default these fields are not passed onto the extractor from the field list and selection table.
Deselect the indicator Field Only Known in Exit to enable the Service API to pass on the append structure field to the extractor together with the fields of the delivered extract structures in the field list as well as in the selection table.
9. Choose DataSource -> Generate.
The DataSource is now saved in the source system.
Maintaining Generic DataSources
·        Change the DataSource
To change a generic DataSource, in the initial screen of DataSource maintenance, enter the name of the DataSource and choose Change.
You can change the assignment of a DataSource to an application component as well as the texts of a DataSource. Double-clicking on the name of the table, view, InfoSet or extract structure takes you to the appropriate maintenance screen. Here you can make changes required to add new fields. You can fully swap transparent tables and database views, but not InfoSets. If you return to the DataSource maintenance and choose Create, the screen for editing a DataSource appears. To save the DataSource in the SAP source system, choose DataSource -> Generate.
If you want to test extraction in the source system independently of a BW system, choose DataSource -> Test Extraction.
·        Delta DataSource
In the Change Generic DataSource screen, you can delete any DataSources that are no longer relevant. If you are extracting data from an InfoSet, delete the associated query. If you want to delete a DataSource, this must not be connected to a BW system.

Types of function Modules

What are different types of function modules ??
Please tell in detail about Normal function modules and RFC enabled functional modules ?
I have searched other threads also but did not get the enough descriptions of the same.
Please respond !

Hi Shreya.
Basically, RFC function modules deal with remote function call which means those ABAP programs can be run/executed from a remote SAP system.
The best example for implementing the RFC Function modules are the BAPIs.
In case of normal function module, The call is made within this SAP system.
RFCs are more often used to establish link between two servers.
Normal function modules provide linking localy that is with the same SAP server/environment.
The calling of RFC function module depends on different client-server specifications.
In case of normal one, the call is same client related call.
Hence, In short RFC for Global
and Normal Function module for Local.
Good Luck.
Harsh
