Why they are using periods before selection-screen pleasee help me its urgent?

The dots (.) before the selection-screen does not matter at all. It still works the same way as without dots before the selection-screen.
Hope this helps.

Use of macros in abap- HR

Hi Gurus,
What is the exact use of macros in abap-hr.Because in normal abap also these macros are existing , but we will not use these in normal abap programming.So is there any specific reason for using macros in ABAP-HR.
Thanks in advance..
Regards,
Rakesh.

This is similar to Logical Database usage. We use LDBs in HR more than in other module. SAP has created many macros that can be used in HR. Ex: you have some macros to make use of when using PNP LDB in your program. Similarly SAP provided macros to read text from PCL1 cluster table. Same thing with reading payroll results. In addition you also can define your own macros in the program and use them in the code.

Iam able to get the records in the excel sheet but unable to write the macro in ABAP code.
the macro which i recorded in Excel is
Range("A1:C3").Select
Selection.Subtotal GroupBy:=2, Function:=xlSum, TotalList:=Array(3), _
Replace:=True, PageBreaks:=False, SummaryBelowData:=True
how do i convert this into ABAP code .Pls help. Thanks...
the data might be like

Hi,
You can run an excel macro like this
CREATE OBJECT h_excel 'EXCEL.APPLICATION'.
Call Method of h_excel 'WORKBOOKS' = h_mapl.
set property of h_excel 'VISIBLE' = 0.
Call Method of h_mapl 'OPEN'

Running Excel macros from ABAP

Hello everyone,
I am trying to execute an Excel macro from an ABAP program. We are currently on a 46C system. While doing some research on help.sap.com I came across the method execute_macro in class i_oi_document_proxy. Ive never used methods in ABAP before and Im not really sure what Im doing. Has anyone got this to work? When I try to run the program it dumps with error OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED.
Thanks,
Becky
Here is the program:
REPORT ztest_program.
INCLUDE ole2incl.
DATA gs_excel TYPE ole2_object .
DATA gs_wbooks TYPE ole2_object .

Hi,
Please correct me if I am wrong but it seems that you have not fetched a handle to the document object before issuing the statement CALL METHOD document->execute_macro. Hence the error OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED is being dislayed. If you want to use SAP Desktop Office Integration using ABAP Objects, take a look at this article at http://www.intelligenterp.com/feature/archive/ or http://www.sapinfo.net/public/en/index.php4/article/comvArticle-193333c63b4bd807d2/en/articleStatistic
Hope this helps.

Run a macro with ABAP code

Hi everybody,
Could someone help me finding a way to run a macro of an excel sheet with an ABAP program.
Explanation:
- I launch an abap program that opened an excel sheet with that kind of code
include ole2incl.
DATA : w_excel   type ole2_object,
           w_books   type ole2_object,
           w_book    type ole2_object,
           w_sheets type ole2_object,
           w_sheet   type ole2_object,
           w_cell    type ole2_object,
           w_rows    type ole2_object,
           w_font    type ole2_object.
create object w_excel 'Excel.Application'.
CALL METHOD OF W_EXCEL 'WORKBOOKS' = W_BOOKS.
CALL METHOD OF W_SHEET 'CELLS' = W_CELL
       exporting #1 = row
                 #2 = column.
CALL METHOD OF W_SHEET 'SAVEAS'.
With my ABAP program:
- i can open my excel template.
- i can write and format data inside my excel sheet.
- i can close and save my excel sheet.
but i don't how to run the macro that exists in my excel template.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Executing Excel Macro from SAP ABAP
I am populating data in excel sheet using OLE. This excel document contains Macro.
Is there any way I can start execution of Macro as soon as data is populated in Excel sheet.
If you are using OLE to populate the Excel Sheet then, then yes you can run a macro.
CALL METHOD OF OBJ_EX_APP 'Run'
       EXPORTING #1 = MACROSTR.
Adding a Field Exit
To add a field exit first find the data element that is linked to the screen field- the screen number and program
Run program RSMODPRF. You will need to create two function modules one FIELD_EXIT_MEPO_VENDOR and
FIELD_EXIT_MEPO_VENDOR_A
FIELD_EXIT_MEPO_VENDOR should have code simply of input = ouput.
FIELD_EXIT_MEPO_VENDOR_A should have the code for whatever the functionality is required
Go back to RSMODPRF and run the program without parameters. Use the push buttons to assign the screen, 'A' and program. Use the drop down to activate the field list.
This should now work, but there is no way of debugging. For further information look at OSS 29377
program zzdirlist.
for AIX this method also works.
DATA: BEGIN OF TABL OCCURS 0,
      TEXT(80) TYPE C,
      END OF TABL.
DATA: COMMAND(256) TYPE C.
COMMAND = 'ls'.
CALL FUNCTION 'RFC_REMOTE_PIPE' DESTINATION 'SERVER_EXEC'
EXPORTING COMMAND = COMMAND
READ = 'X'
TABLES PIPEDATA = TABL.
LOOP AT TABL.
   WRITE:/ TABL-text.
ENDLOOP.

Regarding Macros

Hi,
I am kumar. I got job right now i am a trainee in HR ABAP. I got a doubt.
What is Macro and what is the need of Macros in HR ABAP? Why can't we use subroutines and function modules? what is the difference between Macros, Subroutines and Function Mudules?
bye
phanikumar

hi,
Go to se38. CTRL+F8 type in define and press enter.
This is the SAP help about the subject on Macros and helps you understand how they work.
In ABAP HR however there are lots of macros used, which can be found in the table TRMAC.
A couple of these provide easier reading of the code and can help in coding.
Som HR examples are:
rp-provide-from-last, this one selects data from an infotype
RP-LOWDATE-HIGHDATE this one defines the data element low-date and high-date, also used a lot in HR abap.
If you come upon a macro in SAP standard, enter that one in TRMAC sometimes the functionality is explained in that table.
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

Issue regarding access of ABAP related services from portal

Dear All,
We need your input in the following issue:
Scenerio:
we have implemented ess 1.2 on ep7.0
here we have gone for "Enhanced Package 2" for TRAVEL for client requirements so Travel Services are ABAP WEBDYNPRO instead of Standard JAVA WEBDYNPRO and we have 2 transaction iviews on portal.
Now when an end user clicks on travel services, the request is forwaded to ABAP WAS. So, we need to maintain two entries in DNS: 1. Portal url, 2. ABAP WAS
Now the client doesnot want to maintain ABAP WAS entry in their dns. BUT if they do not maintain this than end users are not able to access ABAP related services...
Can you please suggest any possible solution for this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
JJ

Hi,
Per SAP Note 1040325, it says "It is not possible if there is another component between the browser and the message server (for example, a portal)." In your case a firewall between the portal and WAS. So a direct connection between the client and the WAS system is required which is a security risk. The section below gives more detail on why this is the case/
The following is a excerpt from the Portal "Network and Communication Security" guide:-
Please note that the requirement for direct access between the client and the backend is well flagged in the documentation. For instance, please refer to the Portal Security Guide, specifically the section "Network and Communication Security" (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/b9/c892f1ffc34156883ddd24aec01253/frameset.htm):
'Neither the portal nor the AS Java provides a proxy function. [...] If you have set up a network architecture with one or more firewalls, and your portal integrates iViews that initiate client-backend communication, you must set up access for the client through the firewalls to the application server in the back end.'
So the only secure solution is to install a webdispatcher in your DMZ and forward the requests from the (5) Portal to the (6) webdispatcher as in the graphic below :-
........................................./-> (3) Webdisp -\....................../-> (5) Portal
(1) Client (IE) -> (2) Firewall |.........................|-> (4) Firewall |
.........................................\-> (6) Webdisp -/......................\-> (7) WAS
The original requests bound for the (5) Portal are relayed via the (3) webdisp1 as you can only have one webdisp connecting to one backend SAP system (Portal OR WAS).
Hope this helps.

Macros in ABAP-HR

Hi
I Have worked some macros using PNP Logical database but Can i use macros in PCH logical database?? How can i do?
Some examples please.
Regards
Gregory

I do agree with Robert's statement but sometimes these are so easy that you write just one line and you get the data so nicely into your internal tables.
For example :
data : it_0002 type table of pa0002.
RP-READ-INFOTYPE pernr 0002 it_0002 begda enda returns all valid data for that employee into the table it_0002.This is very usually to find the presently active record when you give :
RP-READ-INFOTYPE pernr 0002 it_0002 sy-datum sy-datum.
Other commonly used macros are :
The macro RP-PROVIDE-FROM-LAST retrieves the last(latest) data record which is valid in the data selection period.
The macro RP-PROVIDE-FROM-FRST retrieves the first(start)data record which is valid in the data selection period.
