Retreive data from wa structure into fields.

Hi friends,
            I am having a query regarding classical report.I want to retreive data for vendor billwise realisation report.I am getting few fields into my list screen(fields from bsis table).Remaining fields i want to retreive from table bseg(augdt,augbl....)with the condition that the belnr of both the tables should be same and Account type = 'k'(vendors).
I tried it using select queries for the bsis and bseg..but data is retreived only from one table bsis and not from bseg.so for data from bseg i used workarea(wa).data is retreived for only single doc no. and not for other documents.
   If any problem in understanding this pls give me the mail id i will send in detail.
Thanks and regards,
Anand.

Hi Anand,
You should not use Workarea, if you are exepecting N number of records. Please use internal table.
SELECT * FROM BSIS
into table i_bsis
where ....
if not i_bsis[] is initial.
sort i_bsis by belnr.
SELECT * FROM BSEG
into table i_bseg
for all entries in i_bsis
where belnr = i_bsis-belnr.
endif.
Best regards,
Prashant

How to read data from INVFO structure

Hi Guys,
Can anybody tell me how to get the Data from INVFO structure for field ZUONR as I have to assign it into from BSEG-ZUONR field. using FI Assignment technique. so can anybody tell me any table where INVOF-ZUONR are stored in FV60 transaction?
Thanks & Regards,
Ashish

Hi Ashish,
I'm not clear with your query, however if you are looking for a table, where Assignment field for Park document is stored, you can use Table VBSEGK - Document Segment for Vendor Document Parking.
Just park one doucment with FV60, and than go to SE16N give table VBSEGK, and pass this doucment number and company code to table VSEGK, or your assignment vlue in ZUONR fied.
You will see your documents there.

How to retreive data from structure MDEZ in T.code CO09

As per our requirement 2 new columns are needed in a customize report .i.e
- u201Cinc. lot dateu201D
- u201Cavailable inc. lotu201D
u201Cinc. lot dateu201D:to get the values for inc.lot.date
From second screen of CO09(program: SAPLATP4 and screen number: 400) pick first date where MRP element is u201CPOitemu201D, u201CShpgNtu201D or u201CPrdOrdu201D.
u201Cavailable inc. lotu201D: to get the values for available inc.lot
Pick u201CCum. ATP QTyu201D from the same row.
These data are stored in structure MDEZ. Actually I want dat00 and MNG04 based on field DELB0. If DELB0 filed is POitem or Prdord or ShpgNt then only I should retrieve the dat00 and MNG04. IF there are more than one POitem in MRP element then we should pick the first POitems' mrp date and *** ATP qty .Can you please help me out how to get these data from the structure MDEZ.
input parameters to get the values are material number and plant.

Hi,
First of all data is never stored in structure so there is no way you can retrive data from structure.
you are looking into the screen field and it is not mandatory that it will always point to a table.
Now the qestion remains how to get the data ? you need to find database table for that field there are many ways like SE84 or SE11 where used etc.
Try to find the table if you still have the problem feel free to get back.

How do i get data from a structure using join?

hi,
what is the actual use of a structure.?
my problem is :
KUAGV is an existing STRUCTURE. it has got one fields each which links to MARA, AND VBKD tables. i want to fetch all related information from KUAGV, mara, vbkd . which is the better way : using joins or views or anything else? how do i
get data from a structure using join?

structure temporarily holds any data passed to it dynamically throughout the runtime but doesnot store it permanently. so
a structure cannot be included in a join.so instead of incuding structure KUAGV's field in a join
search the transparent table in which same field are present and use it in join.
A structure if created in DDIC(Data Dictionary) is a global DATA STRUCTURE which is used to group related information, for example you would group all the details of your bank account into a structure BANK_ACCOUNT that contains fields like account_Id, account_holder_name etc.
If you create a structure in your program then it is local to your program. So you use this structure to create data holders of this DATA TYPE to hold data in your program.

Get the data from a structure not a transparent table

Hello masters, does anyone knows how to retrieve data from a structure?

Structures do not contain data, they are mearly a way to describe it and are usually used in screen programming to collect data into which come from transparent tables. For example, lets say you have data from two tables that need to be displayed on a screen, the data is related, so a good programming practice is to use a structure either described internally in the program, or in the ABAP dictionary. Then in the program, you retrieve the data from the transpart tables and move the data to the structure fields, these structure fields are then defined within the screen.
Anyway, when you do F1 help on a field in a screen, and it is says that it is part of a structure, then this is becasue the structure is being used to group these fields into a common container when doing the screen programming, so it is a little trickier to find where the data is coming from, but not impossible. One way is to use the ST05 to do a SQL trace on the program, this will tell you the tables being hit, and you can find the data that way. Another way, is to debug the program, and see where the data is coming from.

Error Extracting data from a STRUCTURE in SELECT statement

Hi,
I have an SAP defined structure BIW_KNA1_S which has been enhanced with 2 fields (ZZS1 and ZZS2). I need to populate these 2 fields with data from the 2 SORT fields from ADRC table.
I tried the following code but i do not get any output. This piece of code is in a FORM statement from which i should return contents of table ITAB in the foll. code.
DATA ZS TYPE TABLE OF ADRC WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA ITAB LIKE TABLE OF BIW_KNA1_S WITH HEADER LINE.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <FS> LIKE ITAB.
SELECT SORT1 SORT2 FROM ADRC INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE
ZS WHERE ADDRNUMBER IS NOT NULL.
LOOP AT ITAB ASSIGNING <FS>.
IF ZS-ADDRNUMBER IS NOT INITIAL.
<FS>-ZZS1 = ZS-SORT1.
<FS>-ZZS2 = ZS-SORT2.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
Since i did not get any output, I then added the foll. line of code before the LOOP statement.
SELECT * FROM BIW_KNA1_S INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE ITAB
WHERE KUNNR IS NOT NULL.
When i execute this, i get the foll. error.
"BIW_KNA1_S is not defined in the ABAP dictionary as table, projection view or database view."
How to extract data from a structure BIW_KNA1_S using a SELECT statement.
Could someone help.
Thanks

Hi Roberto,
Ok. Let me explain my requirement more clearly. I don't want to write the code in include ZXRSAU02. In ZXRSAU02, i will have only PERFORM statement which will call the FORM statement depending on the name of the program.
Ex: PERFORM form_name ...tables i_t_data.
In this way, i don't need to make any changes in this file. I will only need to make the changes in the report where my Actual FORM code resides. In the ABAP report, i will have my FORM code which will return contents.
And this is the code which my FORM report will consist:
DATA ZS TYPE TABLE OF ADRC WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA ITAB LIKE BIW_KNA1_S OCCURS 10 WITH HEADER LINE.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <FS> LIKE ITAB.
SELECT SORT1 SORT2 FROM ADRC INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE ZS WHERE ADDRNUMBER IS NOT NULL.
LOOP AT ITAB ASSIGNING <FS>.
IF ZS-ADDRNUMBER IS NOT INITIAL.
<FS>-ZZS1 = ZS-SORT1.
<FS>-ZZS2 = ZS-SORT2.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
But as you said, i will have some problems i suppose. Like if my ADRC has some 70 records and if there are 100 records in BIW_KNA1_S, then when i try to copy the fields from ADRC into ITAB (BIW_KNA1_S) i might have problems. I will get back to you once i clarify these things.
Thanks for your reply.

I have just started learning BW. I am currently trying to upload data from R/3 into BW. I have tried uploading data into InfoCube , ODS, InfoObjects from R/3 and in all cases I am getting error messages. Please shed some light as the what am doing wrong......below are the steps that I have done
For loading transaction data from R/3 in ODS
1. Created view from VBAP and VBAK tables in R/3
2. Created Transaction type DataSource in R/3 using RSO2 transaction
3. Replicated above DataSource in BW under Source Systems. using 'Replicate DataSource'
4. Created ODS object along the same lines as the above created view in R/3
5.Created InfoSource and assigned the replicated DataSource
6. Activated the Transfer Rules, Transfer Structure, Communivcation Structure
7. Created Update Rules for ODS and activated them
8. Created InfoPackage and started the Data Request

Hi Amol,
This is very simple....
In the onInputProcessing event of the page use the following code to read data from the InputField into an ABAP variable...
Then you can use it at will..!
Code is :
data : event       TYPE REF TO if_htmlb_data,
       but_event   TYPE REF TO cl_htmlb_event_button.
event = cl_htmlb_manager=>get_event( request ).
IF event->EVENT_NAME = 'button' and event->EVENT_TYPE = 'click'.
      but_event ?= event.
      CASE event->EVENT_ID.
        when 'your_button_id'.
          data : lw_inf type ref to cl_htmlb_inputfield.
             lw_inf ?= cl_htmlb_manager=>get_data(
                            request = runtime->server->request
                            name    = 'inputField'
                            id      = 'your_inputField_id' ).
          if lw_inf->value is not initial.
            lw_variable = lw_inf->value.
          endif.
     ENDCASE.

I'll keep it simple and only use the date as an example. Hopefully you get the concept from the example. Basically you create a recordset and insert the recordset value instead of the POST value into your insert query. In the example below I declared a variable for $the_date and entered the variable into the INSERT query instead of the hidden POST field.
<?php require_once('../../Connections/ezzyConn.php'); ?>
<?php
if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")
if (PHP_VERSION < 6) {
    $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;
   $theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);
switch ($theType) {
    case "text":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "long":
    case "int":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "double":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? doubleval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "date":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "defined":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;
      break;
return $theValue;
$the_date = date("d/m/y : H:i:s", time());
$editFormAction = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$editFormAction .= "?" . htmlentities($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);

Extracting data from a Structure in R/3.

Hi,
This is in continuation to one of my previous questions.
I found that for a standard report "S_ALR_87012347" for FI GL in R/3, the values are taken from a structure "FAGL_S_RFBPET00_LIST2".
I have used 0FIGL_O02 DSO and 0FI_GL_3 Datasource. The problem is I do not get proper values for G/L Account where the account type is either K (Vendor) or D (Customer). Instead of showing the Vendor/Customer Number here the report shows the G/L account number which is quite obvious. But if we see in the R/3 report (mentioned above), the account number field shows the Vendor/Customer Number if the Account Type is either K or D.
My question is: can I directly extract data from the Structure FAGL_S_RFBPET00_LIST2?
If yes, then how...???
Thanks...!

Structure does not contains any data. You have to write code (Function module) to populate the data for structure fields.

Embedding data from xml file into metadata of a pdf

Hi All
I'm wanting to do the following, but struggling to figure the right way to go about it.
I want to embedded data from my MIS into a pdf's metadata (as scrnshot). I can create a standalone xml file with all the data I require, but I'm unsure how to automate that being embedded into a pdf's advanced metadata. I know this can be done, as it worked at a previous employer, but I didn't get chance to find out how they did it.
I'm wanting to do this so I can carry out a more advanced search of the metadata in Bridge.
Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi Northern,
    I have modified the modifyingXMP sample for you. After this change, put your xmp file as sample.xml and also put pdf file in the same folder where ModifyXMP executable is. After merging my changes, ModifyXMP file will read the sample.xml and will embed it into pdf file.
   Please follow the following steps
1. Download XMPToolkit SDK and follow the steps to compile Sample
2. Open ModifyingXMP file, replace all the content of that file with the below content
3. Compile the ModifyingXMP file.
4. The ModifyXMP.exe will be generated in folder (samples\target\windows\Debug), if you have changed the output folder it will be generated there.
5. In parallel to ModifyingXMP.exe put the sample.xml (the xml file you have) and also the pdf file (say pdf file name is mypdf.pdf)
6. Go to console and change directory to the directory where ModifyingXMP is and pass the following command
ModifyingXMP mypdf.pdf
7. Open the pdf file and check that value/properties
For your reference, I am putting the content of the sample.xml file too, put this content in sample.xmp and any pdf and you will find subject field is getting added.
************** content of the sample.xml file. Create a file name sample.xml and put that content. Put sample.xml in parallel to ModifyingXMP.exe*******

for HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR Use
'X': Fields are separated by tabs.
SPACE: Fields are not separated by tabs. In this case, the table must contain only one column or all columns must be contained in the file in their entire length.
