'RP-PROVIDE-FROM-LAST IT0377'

Greetings,
I have encountered a problem in that we have an interface from SAP to UNIPAY and this interface selects all the paydata from employees and then converts it so that it can be payed via UNIPAY. Now this in itself may sound fairly simple but the problem is the interface is selecting data from IT0377 that has been delimited and still paying the employee which is incorrect. I have debugged the interface and the problem is with 'RP-PROVIDE-FROM-LAST IT0377' which is still selecting and bringing through the data of the delimited record.
Has anybody had this problem and if so what was done to correct it ?
Thanks
Mark

Problem with 'RP-PROVIDE-FROM-LAST' and IT0377(GB)

this macro will put the last infotype record in the header line of concerned internal table, for the given period (pn-begda and pn-endda on selection screen).
rp-provide-from-last p0377 space pn-begda pn-endda.
here in the header of internal table p0377, the last record valid for period pn-begda n pn-endda, will be put after execution of the macro statement.
i think u r looking the table 1st record in debug mode but u shud not look at 1st record instead of tht see the header line of table and use that header data.
see my dummy code below -
*& Report ZPPL_PREVEMPLOYERS                                          *

Query on reading infotype 0001 using the macro rp-provide from last p0001

Dear Friends,
        I have a question rgarding relating the infotype 0001 when we are using in the program the logical database PNP.
iam using rp-provide-from-last p0001 space sydatum sydatum
        if pnp-sw-found eq 1.
        append p0001 into i_p0001.
        endif.
iam getting a problem in production , in the selection screen iam passing for emloyee subgroup with multiple values option.
i have passed E,H,S -> where E means Executive , H means hourly and S means salaried employee...
one particular scneario is iam having an employee whose
employee subgroup is C (contactor) and on the selection screen if am passing this personnel no and on the selection screen iam only having in the multiple selection option only E,H,S but not C so this record should should fail but it is getting success and appending to internal table i_p0001
which is wrong
, i mean to say the macro is getting success
rp-provide-from-last p0001 space sydatum sydatum
this employee .
my question is will the macro will not check on the selection screen the employee gropu which we have passed and should i exclusively check
if p0001-persk in pnppersk ?? or please let me knwo how to check this wrong employee not getting appended to my internal table.
please let me know
regards
madhuri

Hi Madhuri
The macro rp-provide-from-last p0001 will not fetch data from the database, it simply extracts the last record from the available internal table P0001[] for the time frame provided(as 3rd and 4th parameters). You can check the definition of the macro from the database table TRMAC, it simply uses the LOOP....ENDLOOP and IF conditions to arrive at the last record and populates the fields pnp-sw-found, pnp-sw-tabix.
    And coming to your problem, please check all the IT0001 records of the EE concerned, it can happen that the EE is attached to different employee subgroups in different time frames and hence the LDB is fetching all the available records of the EE (even if the employee subgroup is not among the one's selected in the selection screen). If this is the case, I reckon, u've to perform manual check before appending to the internal table.
Note: The macro rp-provide-from-last p0001 space sydatum sydatum will only fetch the valid IT0001record as on date - sy-datum

What is difference between rp-provide-from-last VS rp_provide_all

Hello All:
I have the following code:
rp-provide-from-last p0000 space pn-begda pn-endda. -- I know this statement gets latest record from Infotype 0 for the given period.
rp_provide_all p0210 'FED' pn-begda pn-endda.
Could someone please tell me what exactly the code above does? Rewards assured.
Thanks.
Mithun

RP_PROVIDE_ALL does not look like a standard macro. I have checked entries in TRMAC table and it does not return anything for this macro name.
I believe there must be custom macro created in your program which is used here. Please check the program and see if the declaration is available for RP_PROVIDE_ALL.

Difference Between Provide and RP-PROVIDE-FROM-LAST in ABAP-HR

what is the Difference Between Provide and RP-PROVIDE-FROM-LAST IN hR. IF I want to retrieve data in BETTWEEN BEGDA AND ENDDA. what these 2 ill return.
Both ill return the LAtest record. plz let me know what ill happen.
With Regards,
Venkata Suresh K

PROVIDE is like a loop statement and it reads records between BEGDA and ENDDA. There is a lot to it, you can read doc...
RP-PROVIDE-.. _> This is like read table.
It is similar to : Sort itab descending. read itab index 1.
If you want data between BEGDA and ENDDA and you have 2 internal tables, you can use PROVIDE. Otherwise, you can use a normal LOOP statement. Provide is helpful if you want to get data from more than 1 table.
For eg: Infotype 0000 has 2 records from 1.1.2000 to 1.1.2006, and 2.1.2006 to 31.12.9999, and Infotype 0185 has 1 record from 1.1.2005 to 31.12.9999.
If you use a provide BETWEEN BEGDA and endda in this case, it will run through the loop 3 times with these dates :
1.1.2000 to 31.12.2004.
1.1.2005 to 1.1.2006
2.1.2006 to 31.12.9999
If a record is not there in one of the internal tables during the date, there is a PNNNN_VALID flag which is filled up (4.6c) and in mySAP onwards, you have explicit valid flags.
Hope it helps. Please reward points if helpful.
Regards.

Difference between RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST and RP-PROVIDE-FROM-LAST

Can anyone tell me the difference between RP_PROVIDE_FROM_LAST and RP-PROVIDE-FROM-LAST? Both the macros are same difference is with underscore(_) and hiphen(-). Both are working fine for the functionality without any difference. Then why there are two macros for a single functionality?

Just providing the links are considered as link farming ( which are against the rules of the forums ), the links would be removed for the following reasons:
1) If a link is provided( not many ) , then you must point out the explanation in it
2) If the links were easily searchable by the OP
3) If the links just direct you to sap documentation
4) If the reply consists only bunch of link references.
I think the 3rd & 4th point made your post to be deleted.
There are no links which states the differences between these two Macro's. Mod's are doing their right job, please join them and make this forum clean

Flash Player Update disables "restore all windows from last session" in Safari on Mac

I am on Mac OS 10.9.5, using safari 7.1.2. Adobe Flash Player Update loses all safari windows when after update the installer automatically opens safari and just opens flash player website; the "restore all windows from last session" is grayed out in history. The "reopen last closed window" is also grayed out. It has been happening ever since and happened again when I just installed Flash Player ver 16.0.0.257.
For all other normal working situation I can close safari and reopen and see that I can "restore all windows from last session" and there is no problem. But on flash Player install (set on manual install), the problem is annoying and costs me a lot of time to restore one by one from history. I do not think this is a Mac or a Safari issue, but will update to Mac Yosemite help if Adobe Flash Player is updated differently in that setup?
Please help.

Update: I called adobe flash player technical support phone number 1 877-587-1877. They want $59 (warranty only 6 months) to fix this problem as they use a third party to solve this issue; they themselves provide no support. Or buy the paid version. They insist it is my network issue which I absolutely can not believe.
It is adobe Flash player update that forces reopening of safari and wracks the safari losing all windows from last session. That is not my network. Adobe does not have a proper safari compatible flash player update.
Besides, this is a known problem at Adobe and they are not fixing it and want money to fix it one person at a time! They also shared that 25% to 30% of the installations have this problem... wow!! and they still will not fix it in a general update! I wonder if safari has a plug in update that can fix this?

Firefox 25.0.1 Warn when closing multiple tabs (on) conflicts with "show windows und tabs from last time" (on); need both, but only one or the other works.

Using Firefox 25.0.1 on Windows 7 Home Premium
I've poured through support forums for Mozilla Firefox searching for a fix to my initial problem of the "Warn when closing multiple tabs" pop up not popping up when I have it selected.
Went through About:Config, making sure warnings for tabs und closing, und showing on quit, und quitting, etc. were all set to true, which were "possible" fixes for the issue I was having, there are like five or six things set to true for warnings/quitting/etc. No avail. They are all set to true.
Then I stumbled across one that suggested a conflict with the "Warn When Closing Multiple Tabs" und the "Show Windows und Tabs from last time".
I use both features. However, I found if I want the warning pop up for closing multiple tabs, I have to have "show homepage" or "show blank page" selected instead of "Show windows und tabs from last time" selected. (Tools>Options>General>Start Up>When Firefox Starts:) The problem with this is, yes, I get my warning pop up, BUT, I don't get my tabs from my last session.
The warning in settings (Tools>Options>Tabs>Warn Me When Closing Multiple Tabs) is checked.
To have my tabs restored from last session, I simply select it for "when firefox starts". Bam, I have my tabs that were open from the last time I quit. Und again, full circle, I don't have my warning pop up.
There were also suggestions of the warning on close for tabs is conflicting with add-ons.
However, I don't have many. Und I have yet to test them to see if they interfere. These are according to my Add Ons tab when I check it myself.
Extensions:
1. Avast WebRep (disabled)
2. HP Smart Web Printing (disabled)
Plugins:
1. Adobe Acrobat
2. Google Update
3. iTunes Application Detector
4. Java (TM) Platform SE 7 U45
5. Shockwave Flash
6. Shockwave For Director
7. Silverlight Plug-In
8. VLC Web Plugin
9. Windows Live Photo Gallery
10. Java Deployment Toolkit (disabled)
Note: The Details Firefox provides says I have these for Plugins
* Shockwave Flash 11.9 r900
* Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 12.0.5.146
* Next Generation Java Plug-in 10.45.2 for Mozilla browsers
* Google Update
* Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 11.0.05
* VLC media player Web Plugin 2.1.0
* 5.1.20913.0
* iTunes Detector Plug-in
* NPWLPG
Unsure of what the "5.1.20913.0" und the "NPWLPG" plugins are, but they don't appear to me under Add Ons.
Und as usual, I'm assuming the solution lies within About:Config, I will show here now what I have set to True.
browser.tabs.warnOnClose - True
browser.tabs.warnOnCloseOtherTabs - True
browser.tabs.warnOnOpen - True
browser.warnOnQuit - True
browser.showQuitWarning - True
As aforementioned:
The seemingly only issue is the conflict between Show Windows/Tabs From Last Time und the Warn On Quit pop up. Und again, I need/want both of them. More so the tabs from the last session, but I really really really really really want the warning.
So, if anyone knows a work around, preferably without having to download anything to fix this, I would be extremely grateful.

You mention a second subject.
''I'm probably going to downgrade to another version of firefox that was suggested to me since I'm also having issues with shockwave flash causing firefox to hang und ultimately needs to be force closed otherwise having to have flash disabled to use firefox.''
Downgrading Firefox 
Flash is notorious for causing Firefox problems. I suggest you start a new thread about that. If at all possible you should try to avoid downgrading to an unsecure & unsupported version of Firefox. it will increase risks to your system and Personal data. (There are methods of mitigating the risks, using a virtual machine or operating within a secure intranet for instance)
*(Do Not) [[Install an older version of Firefox]]
Try Flash with Protected Mode Off 
Worth a try as it takes minimal effort & often solves Flash Problems whilst allowing current and more secure FlashPlayer to be used. See
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Flash_Player_11.3_Protected_Mode_-_Windows
* http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071#TemporaryWorkaround
If you wish to pursue these subjects further I note you have already started a thread you may as well continue the discussion in that thread, but also post back here so we can follow both.
* ''Firefox is having "Script" issues (Not Responding) und possibly Flash issues?'' [/questions/978181]
** try ensuring you close down Firefox using the menu, that may even help with Flash problems.
Your experience in submitting troubleshooting information on the forum 
(This is out of curiosity, but with the intention of pressing for changes if forum faults are discovered.)
There are yet more changes to this forum underway. Mozilla recently tried to improve the experience for first time users of the forum and a troubleshooting app option was included in the workflow to try to encourage users to submit full troubleshooting information.
I would be interested to know what you thought
I sometimes wonder if users are not trying to use that, or whether forum users run into problems in using it. At one point I wondered whether there was a problem if too much data was included but never actually proved that conjecture.
Assuming you are using the forum, and not merely replying by email look towards the top in the right hand margin for clickable buttons

You will note that includes only partial information. There are no changed prefs or extensions listed. Compare for instance the information in this thread [/questions/978130] with full information.
I believe your mystery plugins are Windows related
* NPWLPG relates usually to Windows Live Photo Gallery
* 5.1.20913.0 will be Silverlight

Data not coming to BW from SAP system from last 7 days....please help

Hi Experts,
I am monitoring the process chain from last 7-8 days but no data is coming to BW from SAP R/3 . then i checked in SAP R/3 system in RSA7 there weree no queues it was empty. then i checked LBWQ and some MCEX03,MCEX11,MCEX13,MCEX04 were there and i double clicked on one of them then i saw the status in queue as NOSEND . we have used QUEUED DELTA as update mode in LBWE. now i want to bring data for last 7-8 days in BW system. please can anyone provide me the detail steps for this as it is our PRODUCTION system. please provide the steps...!!!!

Hi,
Go to SM37 in your R/3 environment and check if there are any jobs starting with LIS* in released status. This is the job which would push the entries from LBWQ to RSA7 for specific applications. If there are no jobs, this is the reason for your problem.
If you do find any job there, then double click on them to check their frequency. Generally it should be hourly.
If there is no such job, then go to LBWE. For each of your applications, click on Job Control and maintain the job scheduling. In the start date, maintain it as periodic job. Then simply schedule teh jobs. Once the jobs are scheduled, after every run of them, LBWQ would get cleared.
Then it would get picked from RSA7 by the BI job.

Hey ynareshbabu,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are having issues with your keyboard. The following article provides some great troubleshooting steps:

You may want to refer to the "Some keys don't work as expected" section.

Firefox not loading tabs from last session

A few days ago I set up my laptop from scratch after a long time of not using it. In the process, I set up Firefox Sync to link it to my desktop's browser. This is the only thing I have changed recently. However, after rebooting my laptop, I noticed that whenever I closed the browser and reopened it, it would not restore my previous tabs. Of course the options are set to restore my tabs from last time. Even the manual options to restore my previous session from the history menu are greyed out. And perhaps more bizarre of all, when I click the 'x' button to close the browser, I have to click it twice to close it - clicking it once does nothing. Firefox is the only application experiencing this odd issue.
I thought it was just my laptop and decided it was too much of a headache to worry about for now, since I rarely use that. I've been going about my business as usual on my desktop for the past few days with no issue...until I booted up my computer this morning and found the same situation. None of my tabs (and I had numerous tabs across multiple tab groups that I've been using with no problems for months!!), when I close and reopen the browser it still doesn't remember what was open when I closed it, and once again I have to click the close button twice for it to take. The 'restore session' options in the history menu are once again greyed out.
Everything else appears fine - all my add-ons are still there, and it's still recording my history when I open new pages and close the browser. It's just not restoring the tabs. This is extremely frustrating to me as someone who ALWAYS has several tabs open at any given time. At least on my desktop, Firefox says it's up to date, so that shouldn't be an issue (I thought maybe a browser update could fix it). Is there anything I can do to fix this, preferably recovering my previous sessions in the process? I lost quite a bit and I'm not too happy about that...but even if recovery is impossible, can I at least fix it so it retains my session history going forward? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have tried all the suggestions so far in this thread and nothing has worked. Firefox has since released version 27.0 and I notice that in this version the session and tabs are restored providing the default settings are used in the options dialogue, (Privacy, history, remember history). Use any other custom setting and the session and tabs are lost on re starting the browser. In other words, some of the options within the history dialogue box are not working.
Firefox is not warning me when I attempt to close multiple tabs, even though the option is ticked.
The search bar on the Firefox home page is not working. Type in search terms, hit enter, and it does nothing.
Opening a new window in Firefox restores the tabs in the new window, but has no effect on the search bar, which still does not function.

Tabs will not restore from last session in FF v30.0 Mac OSX

Was able to locate and copy onto external drive sessionstore.bak and sessionstore.js. Have not closed and re-opened FF yet. Please provide clear and easy to understand step-by-step instructions on restoring my last session in mac OSX (Mavericks).
Also, is there a way to see my tabs before they are restored to make sure they are there?

As I stated above, I already went to the profile folder and copied sessionstore.bak and sessionstore.js to an external drive (see first screen shot attached below).
I then set it to "Show my windows and tabs from last time" as you had instructed and then closed and re-opened FF and the only session that came up was the last one, not the previous one that has my lost tabs! Does the sessionstore.bak store tabs to previous sessions or does sessionstore.js??? The sessionstore.bak has a time stamp on it before I lost the tabs. I am also attaching a screen shot of the files in my profile folder now. Pls advise.
