Sub-routines in scripts
Hi Everybody,
i have copied the standard script F140_DOCU_EXC_01 into zf140_doc, in that form i need to caluculate Net amount in text element 521 in main window. for that i have written the subroutine.
PERFORM <subroutin_name> IN PROGRAM <prog_name>
USING <parms>
CHANGING <parms>
ENDFORM.
FORM <form_name> TABLES in_var type ITCSY
out_var type ITCSY.
endform.
the above code is not a complete one.i need to caluculate the net amount (&RF140-WRSHB). i am not able to calucualte the net amount, i mean from where should i get the data. and y do u we need the ITCSY stru.. could some one help me with a code.
Thanks
Srikanth
Looks like there are a hand full which use this structure in the program.

How to on Debugging Mode for T-Code F110 from Script in Sub routine Pool Pr
Hi Every one....
I have done SAP-Script for Payment Vocher for T-code F110 ..I have a Sub Routine Program where I have few Form statements which is called by SAP - Script using Perform Statements, But my problem is when I set a break point in Sub Routine pool program, the out put is issuing with out Debugger ...
Could any one plz suggest me wht to do???
Help ful answers will be rewarded....

sgHi,
First see if the 'Perform' statement is getting triggered in Script. To put a breakpoint in any script ( even if you do not know the form name, that is the best part ) is se38---->RSTXDBUG --->F8 & execute your pgm/Transaction. The control will wait in the form-debugger.
I hope this helps,

How do i make this a sub routine
I have a little script to drill down folders and add comments to every folder and ever file inside the parent folder. It works perfectly well when run but itself. This was based heavily on the script found by NovaScotian here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2182916�
I basically want to make this script into a sub routine, and i have tried various methods and havent been able to make it work.
global the_comments
global each_item
global pete
global ddp
global ddp2
set ddp to {}
set ddp2 to {}
set theLetter to "s"
set newDroppedFiles to choose folder with multiple selections allowed
to drilldown(afolder)
tell application "Finder"
set file_list to files of a_folder
set folder_list to folders of a_folder
end tell
repeat with i in file_list
processDrilledDownFile(i)
tell application "Finder"
set comment of pete to text of the_comments
end tell
end repeat
repeat with i in folder_list
copy i to end of ddp2
drill_down(i)
end repeat
end drill_down
on processDrilledDownFile(a_file)
copy a_file to end of ddp
end processDrilledDownFile
set the_comments to (do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults read com.Rich.move " & theLetter & "Text")
repeat with each_item in newDroppedFiles
set pete to each_item
tell application "Finder"
set comment of each_item to text of the_comments
end tell
drill_down(pete)
end repeat
repeat with each_item in ddp
tell application "Finder"
set comment of each_item to text of the_comments
end tell
end repeat
repeat with each_item in ddp2
tell application "Finder"
set comment of each_item to text of the_comments
end tell
end repeat

RichYour script already includes several subroutines, so the trick is separating those out first.
Essentially your script consists of three elements - global declarations, your own subroutines and a run handler. Since there's no explicit 'on run', everything that's not inside a subroutine becomes the run handler.
Therefore what you should do is strip out all the code that's not a global declaration or an existing handler and just wrap that in a new 'on subroutinename()... end subroutinename' block.
For sanity's sake I'd also add a specific run handler to bind it all together.
This means you'll end up with something like:
<pre class=command>global the_comments
global each_item
global pete
global ddp
global ddp2
on run
my myNiftySubroutine()
end run
to drilldown(afolder)
tell application "Finder"
set file_list to files of a_folder
set folder_list to folders of a_folder
end tell
repeat with i in file_list
processDrilledDownFile(i)
tell application "Finder"
set comment of pete to text of the_comments
end tell
end repeat
repeat with i in folder_list
copy i to end of ddp2
drill_down(i)
end repeat
end drill_down
on processDrilledDownFile(a_file)
copy a_file to end of ddp
end processDrilledDownFile
on myNiftySubroutine()
set ddp to {}
set ddp2 to {}
set theLetter to "s"
set newDroppedFiles to choose folder with multiple selections allowed
set the_comments to (do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults read com.Rich.move " & theLetter & "Text")
repeat with each_item in newDroppedFiles
set pete to each_item
tell application "Finder"
set comment of each_item to text of the_comments
end tell
drill_down(pete)
end repeat
repeat with each_item in ddp
tell application "Finder"
set comment of each_item to text of the_comments
end tell
end repeat
repeat with each_item in ddp2
tell application "Finder"
set comment of each_item to text of the_comments
end tell
end repeat
end myNiftySubroutine</pre>
There's just one other observation - most of the globals are not actually needed since you can just pass them as parameters to the subroutines.
I'm also not sure what the purpose of the script is - the upshot seems to be that you're setting the comment of items in the Finder, however, since you:
<pre class=command> set comment of pete to text of the_comments</pre>
and pete is a global pointing to the folder you're processing, surely this sets the comment of the folder x times, where x is the number of files in the folder - in other words if there are 100 files in the folder, you set the comment of the folder 100 times and don't touch the files themselves. Is that what you intend? -

Dynamic TABLE parameter in Sub routine call
Hi,
Is it possible to have a dynamic TABLE parameter in a sub-routine call? The structure of the internal table will be different during different calls to the sub-routine.
I have a subroutine which has the FM "HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION" to update the infotype data for an Applicant. Now i want to call this subroutine for every Infotype update. So every time the structure of the internal table to be passed will vary depending on Infotype ( eg P0002 for Infotype 0002, p0006 for infotype 0006).
Any pointers will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.Hi Navin,
yes, why not.
just use a generic type parameter, i.e.
FORM process USING IT_00x type table IV_type typc.
It depend what yout FORM shall do. If you pass the types name, you can dynamically assign to a field-symbol of the respective type.

Include or sub-routine in user-exit
Hi all,
i want to put a sub-routine in my customer user-exit (CMOD).but i can not put the subroutine.
can i put a subroutine or include statement in a user exit?
correct answers will be rewarded.
Thanks
pabiYou can make subroutine calls inside a User exit, only if the exit is part of a function pool. All the subroutines can be placed in an include in the function pool & can be called with a Perform Statement from the User Exit.

perform sub1.
if flag = 'X'.
perform sub2.
endif.
form sub1.
if (condition yes).
flag = 'X'.

Smart forms not displaying result from sub routine
I am working on a smart form and need to display the description of the fabric code. Under Form Routines, I create a sub routine
FORM fcc_values USING gv_fabrictext.
which is supposed to store the description in gv_fabrictext. GV_FABRICTEXT has been declared in global data as char64. Then I call prior to displaying my table as
perform fcc_values using gv_fabrictext.
And then insert the field &gv_fabrictext& in cell but this does not display any result
I know for sure that this sub routine works as I have tested it separately as a test program. Any ideas?1. put break point at ssf_function madulename and check field value.
or
2 fm_name export parameter ur not mentioned
or
3 global variable not defined properly
go through above. still if u didnt get

how can u call a sub-routine from other programmes?
Hi,
Start of Content Area
Naming Subroutines Locate the document in its SAP Library structure
With the PERFORM statement, you can call subroutines which are coded in the same ABAP program (internal calls), or subroutines which are coded in other ABAP programs (external calls).
You can also specify the name of the subroutine dynamically at runtime, and call subroutines from a list.
Internal Subroutine Calls
To call a subroutine defined in the same program, you need only specify its name in the PERFORM statement:
PERFORM subr [USING p1 p2... ]
[CHANGING p1 p2... ].
The internal subroutine can access all of the global data of the calling program.
Example
REPORT demo_mod_tech_perform_int.
DATA: num1 TYPE i,
num2 TYPE i,
sum TYPE i.
num1 = 2. num2 = 4.
PERFORM addit.
num1 = 7. num2 = 11.
PERFORM addit.
FORM addit.
sum = num1 + num2.
PERFORM out.
ENDFORM.
FORM out.
WRITE: / 'Sum of', num1, 'and', num2, 'is', sum.
ENDFORM.
This produces the following output:
Sum of 2 and 4 is 6
Sum of 7 and 11 is 18
In this example the subroutines addit and out are defined at the end of the program. addit is called by the program and out is called by addit. The subroutines have access to the global fields num1, num2 und sum.
External Subroutine Calls
The principal function of subroutines is for modularizing and structuring local programs. However, subroutines can also be called externally from other ABAP programs. In an extreme case, you might have an ABAP program that contained nothing but subroutines. These programs cannot run on their own, but are used by other ABAP programs as pools of external subroutines.
However, if you want to make a function available throughout the system, you should use function modules instead of external subroutines. You create function modules in the ABAP Workbench using the Function Builder. They are stored in a central library, and have a defined release procedure.
You can encapsulate functions and data in the attributes and methods of classes in ABAP Objects. For any requirements that exceed pure functions, you can use global classes instead of external subroutines.
When you call a subroutine externally, you must know the name of the program in which it is defined:
PERFORM subr(prog) [USING p1 p2... ]
[CHANGING p1 p2... ] [IF FOUND].
You specify the program name prog statically. You can use the IF FOUND option to prevent a runtime error from occurring if the program progdoes not contain a subroutine subr. In this case, the system simply ignores the PERFORM statement.
When you call an external subroutine, the system loads the whole of the program containing the subroutine into the internal session of the calling program (if it has not already been loaded). In order to save memory space, you should keep the number of subroutines called in different programs to a minimum.
Example
Suppose a program contains the following subroutine:
REPORT formpool.
FORM header.
WRITE: / 'Program started by', sy-uname,
/ 'on host', sy-host,
'date:', sy-datum, 'time:', sy-uzeit.
ULINE.
ENDFORM.
The subroutine can then be called from another program as follows:
REPORT demo_mod_tech_perform_ext.
PERFORM header(demo_mod_tech_formpool_1) IF FOUND.
In this example, no data is passed between the calling program and the subroutine.
Specifying Subroutines Dynamically
You can specify the name of a subroutine and, in the case of external calls, the name of the program in which it occurs, dynamically as follows:
PERFORM (fsubr)[IN PROGRAM (fprog)][USING p1 p2... ]
[CHANGING p1 p2... ]
[IF FOUND].
The names of the subroutine and the external program are the contents of the fields fsubr und fprogrespectively. By using the option IF FOUND, you can prevent a runtime error from being triggered if no subroutine with the name fsubr is found. If you omit the parentheses, this variant of the PERFORMstatement behaves like the static variant.
Example
Assume a program contains the following subroutines:
PROGRAM formpool.
FORM sub1.
WRITE: / 'Subroutine 1'.
ENDFORM.
FORM sub2.
WRITE: / 'Subroutine 2'.
ENDFORM.
Dynamic Subroutine Specification:
PROGRAM form_test.
DATA: progname(8) TYPE c VALUE 'FORMPOOL',
subrname(8) TYPE c.
subrname = 'SUB1'.
PERFORM (subrname) IN PROGRAM (progname) IF FOUND.
SUBRNAME = 'SUB2'.
PERFORM (subrname) IN PROGRAM (progname) IF FOUND.
This produces the following output:
Subroutine 1
Subroutine 2
The character field progname contains the name of the program, in which the subroutines are contained. The names of the subroutines are assigned to the character field subrname.
Calling Subroutines from a List
You can call a subroutine from a list as follows:
PERFORM idx OF subr1 subr2 ... subrn.
The system calls the subroutine specified in the subroutine list in position idx. You can only use this variant of the PERFORMstatement for internal subroutine calls, and only for subroutines without a parameter interface. The field idx can be a variable or a literal.
Example
REPORT demo_mod_tech_perform_list.
DO 2 TIMES.
PERFORM sy-index OF sub1 sub2.
ENDDO.
FORM sub1.
WRITE / 'Subroutine 1'.
ENDFORM.
FORM sub2.
WRITE / 'Subroutine 2'.
ENDFORM.
This produces the following output:
Subroutine 1
Subroutine 2

What is sub routine pool in sap script? when it is used?
hi ,
i am new to sap-abap can any one clarify my doubt .Hi Praveen,
If you modify the sap standard script according to that you have to modify the print program also....
But its not advisable to modify the print program directly so, for the changes what ever u have made in the scripts you have to write the logic in a subroutine with in report program and you have to call this subroutine with PERFORM statement in the scripts.....
Reward points if it is helpful..

Script sub-routine crashes on second loop
G'day
I've got a 2000+ line Mail script that worked in Tiger, but seems to be a problem under leopard.
The first pass getting a Mail message ID works ok, but on the second pass, when getting a new ID, as soon as I try and use the ID variable, the script shows the ID once, then completely stops.
I've written a short version of the script to demonstrate the dilemma, but its still over 65,000 characters.
I can send the whole script to anyone kind enough to try it. Mail me at [email protected]
Anyone kind enough to run it must
1. first create a mail folder called "* items to shift"
2. Alter the short piece of script after the 'Set to suit' comment, to set your printer and email address.
3. Then the script must be saved in the main Library/Scrips/Folder Action Scripts.
4. Then, the script must be attached as a Folder Action to the 'messages' folder INSIDE the actual "* items to shift.mbox" mail folder which is in.....
<your home folder>/Library/Mail/Mailboxes.
5. Enable 'Access for Assistive devices' in the 'Universal Access' control panel.
Now, drop some mail on the '* items to shift' mail box. The second message should freeze after showing the ID once. The mail won't disappear, but will be shifted to a newly created dated mail folder.
The piece of offending script is as follows...
on MainLoopTwo(this_folder)
tell application "Mail"
activate
repeat while (number of messages of mailbox MailBoxName) > 0
set frontmost of application "Mail" to true
if RunForOz then say "main loop"
set EveryMailboxList to mailboxes
repeat with testBoxName in EveryMailboxList
set selected mailboxes of message viewers to {mailbox MailBoxName}
if (name of testBoxName as string) ≠ MailBoxName then
set selected mailboxes of message viewers to {mailbox (name of testBoxName as string)}
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
set CycleThroughMessages to last message of mailbox MailBoxName
tell application "Mail"
activate
set TheName to ""
set TheName to the (id of CycleThroughMessages & ".emlx" as string)
set frontmost of application "Mail" to true
try
if (exists CycleThroughMessages) in mailbox MailBoxName then
if my CheckThePausedReference(TheName) then
set byPassPrint to true
my TransferToITMP(CycleThroughMessages, true)
end if
else
set byPassPrint to true
end if
on error TheError number errNum
say "oooooops, can't set i d"
set TheName to ""
set byPassPrint to true
end try
set thetempname to TheName as string
tell application "System Events"
try
tell application "Mail" to display dialog thetempname
-- Next line after second loop fails after previous line.
-- 'On Error' does not trap error
-- Script simply stops
tell application "Mail" to display dialog thetempname
on error
say "error"

end tell

For your information.
I've worked out what the problem is.
After removing a message from a series of messages in a mailbox, using a repeat loop or any other way, after about 5-10 seconds the Mail App seems to send an update signal to itself, or to Applescript, I'm not sure which.
This update causes any dialog box, or open message, to very briefly 'flicker'. Once that happens, the script can't run anything else.
The workaround is to run the main script on it's own, and call it from a short folder attached script.
The problem only arises when the script is directly attached as a folder action, and in Leopard.
A definite bug I think.

Santa
