Statement in ABAP.

Hi Gurus,
Can someone tell me what does this statement signify ?
os_ps ?= cl_xx_system=>get_xxxx_yyyy( ).
Please reply me in detail.
Regards,
Binay.

hi,
CLASS lcl_airplane DEFINITION.
PUBLIC SECTION.
METHODS: estimated_fuel_consumption
IMPORTING im_distance TYPE ty_distance
RETURNING VALUE(re_fuel) TYPE ty_fuel,
CLASS-METHODS: get_count RETURNING VALUE(re_count) TYPE i.
ENDCLASS.
DATA: plane1 TYPE REF TO lcl_airplane,
plane2 TYPE REF TO lcl_airplane,
fuel_consumption TYPE ty_fuel,
count_planes TYPE i.
* Instantiation omitted
* CALL METHOD plane1->get_count RECEIVING re_count = *count_planes.
count_planes = lcl_airplane=>get_count( ).
fuel_consumption = plane1->estimated_fuel_consumption( 1000 ) + plane2->estimated_fuel_consumption( im_distance = 1500 ).
The syntax for instance methods (analogous to static methods) is as follows, depending on the number of
IMPORTING parameters :
no IMPORTING parameters: ref->func_method( )
exactly 1 IMPORTING parameter : ref->func_method( p1 ) oder
ref->func_method( im_1 = p1 )
several IMPORTING parameters : ref->func_method( im_1 = p1 im_2 = p2 )
Hope this helps, Do reward.

Merge Statement in ABAP

Dear Gurrus,
i am having a trouble in using oracle merge statement in abap, the moment i use where clause in the bottom it gives me an oracle error
EXEC SQL.
MERGE INTO SAP_GL_ACCOUNT@GETZDB a
USING SKA1 b
    ON (A.gl_code= B.SAKNR)
WHEN MATCHED THEN
    UPDATE SET a.posting_block = B.XSPEB,
               a.locked        = B.XSPEA,
               A.BALANCE_SHEET = B.XBILK
     WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
       insert   (gl_code,
                 DESCRIPTION,
                 posting_block,
                 locked,
                 balance_sheet)
      VALUES (b.SAKNR,'shadab',B.XSPEB,B.XSPEA,B.XBILK)
      where b. mandt = 950      I am talking about this line
         ENDEXEC.
the Moment i include WHERE clause in the botton before ENDEXEC it generates as error
" Database error text........: "ORA-00904: "A3"."MANDT": invalid identifier#ORA-02063: preceding line from GETZDB".
although its a basic feature of Oracle to inclue where clauses in insert or update in merge, but here it is generating an error.

Hello Shadab,
As per my understanding of this oracle native sql code.
everything is fine except the use of direct value i.e 950 .
System is not able to process this value .
This normally happens even in normal abap sql statements also.
The better solution could be to declare a variable with the
same data type as "mandt" and then pass this "950" value into that
variable and then use this variable in the where clause instead of directly
passing the value.
i.e data:l_var type mandt vlaue '950'.
The other option could be to use the same hard coded
value but use this value in the where clause in quotations i.e.,
'950' instead of 950.
I hope this would solve your purpose, If not please reply me back.
thanks,
M.Naveen Kumar.

URGENT : select from table statement in ABAP OO

Hi all,
I am an absolute ABAP OO beginner and need some quick help from an expert. How can I make a selection from an existing table (eg MARA) in an BADI which is programmed according to ABAP OO principles.
In the old ABAP school you could make a TABLES statement at the beginning and the do a SELECT¨* FROM but this does not work in ABAP OO.
How should i define such simple selections from existing tables. Anyone ?
Thanks a lot,
Eric Hassenberg

*define internal table
data: i_mara like standard table of mara.
*select to this table
select * from mara into table i_mara.
Also you have to define work area for this internal table in order to use it.
data:w_mara like line of i_mara.

UNION statement in ABAP SQL

Hi,
How to achieve the UNION SQL operation results in ABAP? To be specific, I want to retrieve STCD1 field value from vendor master table (LFA1) for all vendors (LIFNR) that exist in table BSIK or BSAK.
And I want to achieve the results in single SQL statement. So in essence, the resultant SQL would be something like:
SELECT STCD1
INTO TABLE my_internal_table
FROM LFA1
WHERE LIFNR IN (SELECT DISTINCT LIFNR
                                            FROM BSIK
                            UNION
                            SELECT DISTINCT LIFNR
                                           FROM BSAK)
But the UNION is not a valid keyword in ABAP. Any idea how to achieve this?
Regards,
Chetan

hi chetan,
do you have any where condition to filter the records from bsak and bsik?
your requirement cannot be realized in a single statement.
you have to use two separate selects from bsak and bsik, then, collect all the vendors in one internal table and at last you have to use this table to get the vendor info from lfa1.

ravi

Loop statement in ABAP OO

Hi,
I am trying to change a BADI interface and since BADIs use ABAP OO, a simple loop statement fails to work.
I need to loop through an internal table and for each record in the internal table I need to read another db table which has a field in common with the internal table.
Ideally,
Loop at lt_selections
select logsys from /bic/mzcs_unit where /bic/zcs_unit = lt_selections-cs_unit
endloop.
But this piece of code fails to work in BADI because of OO concepts.
Can anyone help me out here?
THank you

As Alejandro said, if you are getting a syntax error, it is probably because <b>header lines are not allow in OO</b>.
data: wa_selections like line of lt_selections.
Loop at lt_selections into wa_wa_selections.
select logsys from /bic/mzcs_unit
where /bic/zcs_unit = wa_selections-cs_unit.
endloop.

Submit statement in ABAP program

Hi All,
I am using two submit statements in my program for two different reports. When i run the program i get the output screens of the two reports at the ouptut. Is there any way i can hide the user seeing the output screens of the two programs and display only the output screen of my program. If you have any clues please post it.
Thanks & Regards,
Rahul Rathi

You can call executable programs from other ABAP programs using the following statement:
SUBMIT <rep>|(<field>) [AND RETURN] [<options>].
You can either specify the name of the program you want to call statically by entering the program name in the code of the calling program, or dynamically by specifying the name of a field (in parentheses) containing the name of the program. If the system cannot find the specified executable program when trying to execute the SUBMIT statement, a runtime error occurs.
If you omit the AND RETURN addition, all data and list levels of the calling program (the entire internal session) are deleted. After the called executable program has finished, control returns to the level from which you started the calling program.
If you use AND RETURN, the system stores the data of the calling executable program and returns to the calling after processing the called program. The system resumes executing the calling program at the statement following the call.
The SUBMIT statement has a set of additions <options> for passing data to the called program and specifying various other processing options. Some of them are described in the following sections:

Describe statement in abap

how to use this descibe statement.can any one please explain me with example

Hi Rajeev, write Describe and press F1 in the ABAP editor..u ll get the different functionalities for describe..
this is one of them
DESCRIBE - Return attributes of an internal table
Basic form
DESCRIBE TABLE itab.
Effect
Returns the attributes of the internal table itab. You must use at least one of the additions listed below:
Note
The DESCRIBE statement cannot be used for all ABAP types. In connection with ABAP Objects, SAP has introduced a RTTI concept based on system classes to determine type attributes at runtime. This concept applies to all ABAP types and as such covers all the functions of the DESCRIBE TABLE statement.
Extras:
1. ... LINES n
2. ... OCCURS n
3. ... KIND   k
Addition 1
... LINES n
Effect
Places the number of filled lines of the table t in the field lin. The value returned to lin has type I.
Note
The number of filled lines of the table itab can also be ascertained using the predefined function lines( itab ).
Example
DATA: N    TYPE I,
      ITAB TYPE TABLE OF I.
CLEAR ITAB.
APPEND 36 TO ITAB.
DESCRIBE TABLE ITAB LINES N.
Result: N contains the value 1.
Addition 2
... OCCURS n
Effect
Passes the size of the OCCURS parameter from the table definition (as defined with DATA) to the variable n. The value returned to n has type I.
Example
DATA: N1    TYPE I,
      N2    TYPE I,
      ITAB1 TYPE TABLE OF I INITIAL SIZE 10,
      ITAB2 TYPE I OCCURS 5.
DESCRIBE TABLE ITAB1 OCCURS N1.
DESCRIBE TABLE ITAB2 OCCURS N2.
Result: OCC contains the value 10 and N2 the value 5.
Addition 3
... KIND k
Effect
Writes the table type from itab to the variables n. The value returned to k is of type C. The constants SYDES_KIND-STANDARD, SYDES_KIND-SORTED and SYDES_KIND-HASHED are defined in the type group SYDES for the return values.
Example
Generic FORM routine any table type
TYPE-POOLS: SYDES.
FORM GENERIC_FORM USING ITAB TYPE ANY TABLE.
DATA: K TYPE C.
DESCRIBE TABLE ITAB KIND K.
CASE K.
    WHEN SYDES_KIND-STANDARD.
    WHEN SYDES_KIND-SORTED.
    WHEN SYDES_KIND-HASHED.
ENDCASE.
ENDFORM.
Notes
Performance: The runtime for executing the DESCRIBE TABLE statement is approximately 4 msn (standardized microseconds).
The DESCRIBE TABLE statement also passes values to the SY-TFILL and SY-TLENG System fields

Insert Statement in ABAP

Hi,
I am new to ABAP Programming., i had created a function module with 5 import parameters enableing
optional and pass value options. I need to insert values to database. But function module contains only
the following statemet.
FUNCTION ZEMP_CREATE_NAME.
""Local Interface:
*" IMPORTING
*"     VALUE(EMPID) TYPE ZEMPID OPTIONAL
*"     VALUE(NAME1) TYPE ZNAME1 OPTIONAL
*"     VALUE(ORT01) TYPE ORT01_GP OPTIONAL
*"     VALUE(REGIO) TYPE REGIO OPTIONAL
*"     VALUE(TELF1) TYPE TELF1 OPTIONAL
*"     VALUE(STATUS) TYPE ZSTATUS OPTIONAL
*"     VALUE(EPOSITION) TYPE ZPOSI OPTIONAL
insert into zemptable values('EMPID','NAME1','ORT01','REGIO','TELF1','ZSTATUS','ZPOSI')).
ENDFUNCTION.
Is this statement correct? Could someone guide me how to resolve this?
Thanks & Regards
Vijay

Check the F1 help for insert.
If you already Checked the program you know it's not right.
That looks ok for Standard SQL, but ABAP uses a special set of sql commands called open sql.
*edit
Sorry, didn't saw you were new at this, you don't want to pass that many parameters.
IF those 7 parameters make up the whole table is better to do either something like...
w_zemptable type zemptable in the importing parameters and then in the code just do
insert into zemptable values w_zemtables.
.... or better
in the tables section declare
i_zemptable like zemptable
and in the code
insert zemptable from table i_zemptable.

SQL Statements in ABAP and meaning

Hello Friends,
Please, can anybody provide me a documentation on the different ABAP SQL statements and there usage/meanings.
Thanks,
Shreekant

hi,
goto abapdocu->abap Database access->open Sql you will get examples.
for documnetation got se38->specify the command and press F1.
SELECT:
Put the curson on that word and press F1 . You can see the whole documentation for select statements.
SELECT result
FROM source
INTO|APPENDING target
[[FOR ALL ENTRIES IN itab] WHERE sql_cond]
Effect
SELECT is an Open-SQL-statement for reading data from one or several database tables into data objects.
The select statement reads a result set (whose structure is determined in result ) from the database tables specified in source, and assigns the data from the result set to the data objects specified in target. You can restrict the result set using the WHERE addition. The addition GROUP BY compresses several database rows into a single row of the result set. The addition HAVING restricts the compressed rows. The addition ORDER BY sorts the result set.
The data objects specified in target must match the result set result. This means that the result set is either assigned to the data objects in one step, or by row, or by packets of rows. In the second and third case, the SELECT statement opens a loop, which which must be closed using ENDSELECT. For every loop pass, the SELECT-statement assigns a row or a packet of rows to the data objects specified in target. If the last row was assigned or if the result set is empty, then SELECT branches to ENDSELECT . A database cursor is opened implicitly to process a SELECT-loop, and is closed again when the loop is ended. You can end the loop using the statements from section leave loops.
Up to the INTO resp. APPENDING addition, the entries in the SELECTstatement define which data should be read by the database in which form. This requirement is translated in the database interface for the database system´s programming interface and is then passed to the database system. The data are read in packets by the database and are transported to the application server by the database server. On the application server, the data are transferred to the ABAP program´s data objects in accordance with the data specified in the INTO and APPENDING additions.
System Fields
The SELECT statement sets the values of the system fields sy-subrc and sy-dbcnt.
sy-subrc Relevance
0 The SELECT statement sets sy-subrc to 0 for every pass by value to an ABAP data object. The ENDSELECT statement sets sy-subrc to 0 if at least one row was transferred in the SELECT loop.
4 The SELECT statement sets sy-subrc to 4 if the result set is empty, that is, if no data was found in the database.
8 The SELECT statement sets sy-subrc to 8 if the FOR UPDATE addition is used in result, without the primary key being specified fully after WHERE.
After every value that is transferred to an ABAP data object, the SELECT statement sets sy-dbcnt to the number of rows that were transferred. If the result set is empty, sy-dbcnt is set to 0.
Notes
Outside classes, you do not need to specify the target area with INTO or APPENDING if a single database table or a single view is specified statically after FROM, and a table work area dbtab was declared with the TABLES statement for the corresponding database table or view. In this case, the system supplements the SELECT-statement implicitly with the addition INTO dbtab.
Although the WHERE-condition is optional, you should always specify it for performance reasons, and the result set should not be restricted on the application server.
SELECT-loops can be nested. For performance reasons, you should check whether a join or a sub-query would be more effective.
Within a SELECT-loop you cannot execute any statements that lead to a database commit and consequently cause the corresponding database cursor to close.
SELECT - result
Syntax
... lines columns ... .
Effect The data in result defines whether the resulting set consists of multiple rows (table-like structure) or a single row ( flat structure). It specifies the columns to be read and defines their names in the resulting set. Note that column names from the database table can be changed. For single columns, aggregate expressions can be used to specify aggregates. Identical rows in the resulting set can be excluded, and individual rows can be protected from parallel changes by another program.
The data in result consists of data for the rows lines and for the columns columns.
SELECT - lines
Syntax
... { SINGLE }
| { { } } ... .
Alternatives:
1. ... SINGLE
2. ... { }
Effect
The data in lines specifies that the resulting set has either multiple lines or a single line.
Alternative 1
... SINGLE
Effect
If SINGLE is specified, the resulting set has a single line. If the remaining additions to the SELECT command select more than one line from the database, the first line that is found is entered into the resulting set. The data objects specified after INTO may not be internal tables, and the APPENDING addition may not be used.
An exclusive lock can be set for this line using the FOR UPDATE addition when a single line is being read with SINGLE. The SELECT command is used in this case only if all primary key fields in logical expressions linked by AND are checked to make sure they are the same in the WHERE condition. Otherwise, the resulting set is empty and sy-subrc is set to 8. If the lock causes a deadlock, an exception occurs. If the FOR UPDATE addition is used, the SELECT command circumvents SAP buffering.
Note
When SINGLE is being specified, the lines to be read should be clearly specified in the WHERE condition, for the sake of efficiency. When the data is read from a database table, the system does this by specifying comparison values for the primary key.
Alternative 2
Effect
If SINGLE is not specified and if columns does not contain only aggregate expressions, the resulting set has multiple lines. All database lines that are selected by the remaining additions of the SELECT command are included in the resulting list. If the ORDER BY addition is not used, the order of the lines in the resulting list is not defined and, if the same SELECT command is executed multiple times, the order may be different each time. A data object specified after INTO can be an internal table and the APPENDING addition can be used. If no internal table is specified after INTO or APPENDING, the SELECT command triggers a loop that has to be closed using ENDSELECT.
If multiple lines are read without SINGLE, the DISTINCT addition can be used to exclude duplicate lines from the resulting list. If DISTINCT is used, the SELECT command circumvents SAP buffering. DISTINCT cannot be used in the following situations:
If a column specified in columns has the type STRING, RAWSTRING, LCHAR or LRAW
If the system tries to access pool or cluster tables and single columns are specified in columns.
Note
When specifying DISTINCT, note that you have to carry out sort operations in the database system for this.
SELECT - columns
Syntax
| { {col1|aggregate( col1 )}
{col2|aggregate( col2 )} ... }
| (column_syntax) ... .
Alternatives:
1. ... *
2. ... {col1|aggregate( col1 )}
{col2|aggregate( col2 )} ...
3. ... (column_syntax)
Effect
The input in columns determines which columns are used to build the resulting set.
Alternative 1
Effect
If * is specified, the resulting set is built based on all columns in the database tables or views specified after FROM, in the order given there. The columns in the resulting set take on the name and data type from the database tables or views. Only one data object can be specified after INTO.
Note
If multiple database tables are specified after FROM, you cannot prevent multiple columns from getting the same name when you specify *.
Alternative 2
... {col1|aggregate( col1 )}
{col2|aggregate( col2 )} ...
Effect
A list of column labels col1 col2 ... is specified in order to build the resulting list from individual columns. An individual column can be specified directly or as an argument of an aggregate function aggregate. The order in which the column labels are specified is up to you and defines the order of the columns in the resulting list. Only if a column of the type LCHAR or LRAW is listed does the corresponding length field also have to be specified directly before it. An individual column can be specified multiple times.
The addition AS can be used to define an alternative column name a1 a2 ... with a maximum of fourteen digits in the resulting set for every column label col1 col2 .... The system uses the alternative column name in the additions INTO|APPENDING CORRESPONDING FIELDS and ORDER BY. .

I can get the code of program that generated by system, but I cannot get pure sql statement.
any answer will be appreciated

I see no parameters, and in the abstract that SQL ought to work.
However, I halfway suspect that either User, Users, Password, or pass is a reserved word and somebody is getting confused. Try renaming your columns and table...

Who to use Native SQL statements in ABAP

hi all,
who to use native sql staements in abap bypassing Application server.
with regards,
suresh babu aluri.

Hi
Native SQL statements define an area in an ABAP program in which one or more Native SQL statements are to be carried out. The area between EXEC and ENDEXEC is not completely checked by the syntax check. The statements entered there are passed to the Native SQL interface and processed there as follows:
Almost all SQL statements that are valid for the addressed database system can be included between EXEC and ENDEXEC, in particular the DDL statements. These SQL statements are passed from the Native SQL interface to the database system largely unchanged. The syntax rules are specified by the database system, in particular the case sensitivity rules for database objects. If the syntax allows a separator character between individual statements, you can include several Native SQL statements between EXEC and ENDEXEC. Generally, the semicolon ( is used as the separator character.
You can also include SAP-specific Native SQL language elements between EXEC and ENDEXEC. These statements are not passed directly from the Native SQL interface to the database, but are converted appropriately.
All Native SQL statements bypass SAP buffering.
The ENDEXEC statement sets sy-dbcnt to the number of table rows processed in the last Native SQL statement. After implicit cursor processing with PERFORMING, sy-dbcnt contains the total number of lines read.
Programs with Native SQL statements are generally dependent on the database system used, so that they cannot be executed in all ABAP systems. This is especially true for the examples in this section, which was written for Informix database systems.
Example
Inserting two rows in the database table SCARR. If neither of these rows exists, sy-subrc is set to 0 by ENDEXEC and sy-dbcnt to 1. Otherwise, an exception is raised and handled.
DATA: exc_ref    TYPE REF TO cx_sy_native_sql_error,
      error_text TYPE string.
TRY.
    EXEC SQL.
      INSERT INTO scarr
                  (MANDT, CARRID, CARRNAME, CURRCODE, URL)
        VALUES ('000', 'FF', 'Funny Flyers', 'EUR',
                'http://www.ff.com');
      INSERT INTO scarr
                 (MANDT, CARRID, CARRNAME, CURRCODE, URL)
        VALUES ('000', 'EF', 'Easy Flyers', 'EUR',
                'http://www.ef.com');
    ENDEXEC.
CATCH cx_sy_native_sql_error INTO exc_ref.
    error_text = exc_ref->get_text( ).
    MESSAGE error_text TYPE 'I'.
ENDTRY.
