Syntax Error with Table Parameter (type: ANY) when Creating Function Module

Hello experts,
I want to create a function module with a table parameter and table type is ANY. But when I check (Ctrl+F7) this function module, syntax error occurs - "In this statement, the internal table "MSG_TABLE_ITEM" must have the type "STANDARD TABLE"."
Could anyone tell me what the wrong is? And how can I fix it?
Thanks,
Shelwin

Hi,
For table parameters, you can only pass
MSG_TABLE_ITM TYPE STANDARD TABLE
or
MSG_TABLE_ITM ( don't fill other columns TYPING ASSOCIATED TYPE ).
For reference check FM 'GUI_UPLOAD' - Table parameters

Doubt in export, import and table para when creating Function Module

Dear fellow ABAPers,
I have a doubt in defining export, import and table parameter while creating a function module.
I am calling a function module inside a user exit. Now in the user exit the SAP fills an internal table called i_lfa1 with all the data user has eneterd.
Now I want to pass this whole internal table to function module and the perform some checks on the values of internal table.
After that function module fills an error structure with values depending on some check.
1)
How do I pass this internal table to function module ?
When I am creating function module in se37 where do I define this iternal table type ? Is it in Import or Table parameter during function module creation?
2)
Where do I define error structure type (which is returned by function module to main program)? Is it in Export or table parameter during function module creation?
Please clear my doubt..
Relevant points will be awarded.
Regards,
Tushar.

Hi Tushar,
1. How do I pass this internal table to function module ?
   I assume u are creating your own Y/Z FM.
   Pass it thru TABLES parameter.
2. When I am creating function module in se37 where do I define this iternal table type
   Define this in TABLES interface.
   What Type ?
   THE SAME TYPE WHICH HAS BEEN DEFINED
    WHILE PASSING IN THE USER-EXIT FUNCTION MODULE.
   IF U SEE THE FM OF THE USER-EXIT,
   U WILL COME TO KNOW.
3.
Where do I define error structure type (which is returned by function module to main program)? Is it in Export or table parameter during function module creation?
Define it in TABLES interace. (not in export, import)
(Since what u are going to return is an internal table)
U can take for eg. BDCMSGCOLL.
OR u can create your own Y/Z structure
for the same purpose.
(or u can use the structure type T100)
I hope it helps.

Modify Syntax on Internal table of type ANY TABLE

Hi,
I have declared one internal table which is of type ANY TABLE.
In the Loop statement, I am trying to Modify that Internal table from WA.
Then I am getting one Error message
"You cannot use explicit or implicit index operations on tables with types "HASHED TABLE" or "ANY TABLE". "C_T_DATA" has the type "ANY TABLE".
Above code I have placed in method of a corresponding Class.
Can u please advise me on this..How to modify the Intenal table .
Thanks and Regards,
K.Krishna Chaitanya.

Hi Krishna,
the modify statement is obsolete.
You can always LOOP AT [itab] ASSIGNING <field-symbol>.
This makes the loop never slower, depending on the table structure faster or much faster.
If you know the table structure at run time, you can use a field-symbol of that type. If not, you can use a field-symbol TYPE any. Then you have to assign the components to field-symbol to modify them, i.e.
field-symbols:
<table_line> type any,
<matnr> type mara-matnr.
loop at itab assigning <table_line>.
assign component 'MATNR' of structure <table_line> to <matnr>.
clear <matnr>.
endloop.
This technique (available more than ten years) works incredibly fast. My estimate is that if SAP would change all the old standard programs that way and use it consequently in the new ones, the whole system would be 20 % faster because myriads of unnecessary copy operations of LOOP INTO would not happen.

Clemens.

Error Message: "The parameter is incorrect" when trying to modify SSLs

Like I wrote in my subject line, RoboHelp pop-ups the error message “The Parameter is incorrect” when I try to modify any SSL.
What happens next, is that the “Print Document General” window opens, but does not allow me to select anything (the fields are blank).
If I close the window and open it again, it seems to work until I have to select the styles from our Microsoft Word Template.
Then the error message “The parameter is incorrect” appears again, and RoboHelp does not allow me to select anything but a stylesheet
(which is not what I need).
This is very strange, because not only until recently I was able to build Word documents and PDFs, but also my colleagues are able to
produce them out of my source.
Even the old projects, that I was able to build, now I cannot.
I do not have any problem in generating CHMs.
Until now I have tried everything I found in the forum:
I deleted the PSS file (also following the advice in your snippet number 14 from 10 – RoboHelp HTML –Features and Use).
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/120022
I reinstalled RoboHelp and the Adobe Technical Communication Suite (I also used CCleaner to delete the registries).
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/598335
I gave Administrator rights to all users in my computer (what seemed to work for some SSLs, but not for all)
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/870339
I am also looking at all programs that I installed since the last time I was able to build .docs in case there is a conflict, but I do not find anything!
My computer has Windows 7 installed and I use the Adobe Technical Communication Suite 3.5, with RoboHelp 9.
My Microsoft Office is 2010.
Can somebody please help me? Did someone have the same problem?
Thanks in advance.

Hi there
I know you said you reinstalled, but did you reinstall before or after you gave administrator rights to all users on your computer? And how many users *ARE* on your computer?
Often you need administrator rights to properly install things.
Cheers... Rick

Is there any BAPI or function module to delete entries from a table (VBAK)

Hi Everybody,
this is my first thread in SDN...
my problem follows...
A report is be created that selects all sales orders created by e-Sales that are more than 20 minutes old and still have a delivery block:
tables:
VBAK     sales document: header data
selection fields:
VBAK-LIFSK      ≠     <BLANK>
VBAK-ERNAM     =     userID used by e-Sales / IVE
          (EP-BATCH / EAI-BATCH)
VBAK-ERDAT      <=     Current system Date
VBAK-ERZET     <=     Current system Time - 20 minutes
These orders should be deleted from SAP system.
This report should be scheduled to run regularly every 10 minutes.
my doubt : is ther any BAPI or Function module to delete entries from a standard table...if no what is the way to delete the enteries from a std table...
best replies will be rewarded....
regards
Reddy

Hi Vasanth ,
thanks for your reply.
i tried in the same manner what u mentioned.
but how to pass only one parameter to the functionmodule..
here in this case we have to pass only update flag as 'D'..
i did the same it giving dump..
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_TYPE', was
not caught and
therefore caused a runtime error.
The reason for the exception is:
The call to the function module "BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE" is incorrect:
In the function module interface, you can specify only
fields of a specific type and length under "ORDER_HEADER_INX".
Although the currently specified field
"INT_ORDER_HEADER_INX" is the correct type, its length is incorrect.

Error BT616 when calling function module SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE in background

Hi All,
We use function module SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE with a custom command we defined in SM69 to move files in unix (mv command).
The function module call has worked fine for almost a year and recently we have been seeing an error (BT616) in our job lob (SM37) when the program is run in background. We have not been able to reproduce the error in foreground mode and it seems to be occuring only periodically in the background. (The appropriate SAP authorization objects where assigned to the batch job ID and the steps on the batch job.) We are in the process of setting up the trace flag and performing analysis on the trace log via ST11 to help identify the issue.
After perform analysis on SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE, the error is occurring when calling function module SAPXPG_END_XPG for exception 2, system failure, yet function module SAPXPG_END_XPG does not exist. I assume this is a program at the operating system level and is just a signature of the parameters to be passed to the operating system program.
Below is part of the SAP function module SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE that is failing.
* Now we have to wait for the termination of the external
* command if the caller wants us to.
    IF TERMINATIONWAIT = 'X'.
      CALL FUNCTION 'SAPXPG_END_XPG'
        DESTINATION DESTINATION
        IMPORTING   EXITSTAT = STATUS
                    EXITCODE = EXITCODE
        TABLES      LOG      = LOG
        EXCEPTIONS COMMUNICATION_FAILURE = 1 MESSAGE MSG
                    SYSTEM_FAILURE        = 2 MESSAGE MSG.
I performed a where used on function module SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE, and most of SAP programs call the function module with the parameter TERMINATIONWAIT = 'X', so I assume we should pass X as well.
Any ideas on what could be causing this issue?
Mike Vondran

I also remember I have this kind of issue, as I have some UNIX script at OS( UNIX) level . The problem was with the ID , as it dont have proper authorization at OS level ( UNIX ) . Please check this ID authorization. This could be the one of reasons if youre sure from SAP standpoint.
Hope thisll give you some guide line..
Thanks

ENDIF.
ENDFUNCTION.
In above code how to capture 'EV_RC' when FM is called as background task.

Prakash,
CALL FUNCTION IN BACKGROUND TASK allows no IMPORTING parameters, so that your code will produce a syntax error.
The calling program can only handle errors of remote function calls (RFC) if these are either
- synchronous RFC (that is CALL FUNCTION ... DESTINATION ...) or
- asynchronous RFC (that is CALL FUNCTION STARTING NEW TASK ... DESTINATION ...).
Both synchronous and asynchronous RFC allow the capturing of errors by means of exceptions. But that is a different topic.

Creating function modules with step by step

Hi,
plz provide me the material for creating function modules with step by step.

Hi Nagaraju,
Step 1.
GO to transaction SE80.In the drop box list select function group enter your Z Function group name.Press enter it will ask for creating the function group.Create your function group.
OR
In SE37 transaction,in the menu bar Goto - > Function Group - > Create Group.Your Function Group will be created.
Step 2.
Go to transaction SE37.Enter your Z Function module name,your recently created function group name and the description.Press Enter.Now your FM is created.
Step 3.
Enter Export,Import parameters.In the source code tab write the code what you want to write.If any exception write in the exception tab.
Method 2)
First u have to create Function Group.
1.se37->Goto->Function Group--->Create.
2.Create FM.
3.maintain import /export parameters and tables , exceptions.
4.based on the ur requirement u have to bulid ur logic in Source Code by using there Import parameters and u can pass the results by using Export or table.
5.u can raise error by using exception.
Reward if useful.
Thanks
Aneesh.

Problem when calling function module CV120_DOC_CHECKOUT_VIEW in background

Hi ,
I'm currently developping an abap program which extract document from KPRO for printing into a windows Folder.
For this I use standard function module CV120_DOC_CHECKOUT_VIEW.
When i run my program in foreground task there's no problem, but when i run it in background task the extract doesn't work. It seems that the system cannot connect to the Windows Network.
Whe the program is running in foreground task, the function module user SAPHHTP RFC destination, when it runs in background task it use SAPFTP destination .
Does somebody can help me ?
thanks in advance

Hi Ajay,
The program extract document into a folder on Windows Network that means on a server not on a PC .
I know that in background task ther's no connection with sapgui.
For example when i want to create a file on network n background task i use OPEN_DATASET instruction and that works fine.
My problem is the use of the standard function module CV120_DOC_CHECKOUT_VIEW in background task because when this function module is running in background task it use the SAPFTP rfc destination instead of SAPHHTP rfc destination in foreground task . I check the RFC destination , thoses works both . SO i think the problem comes from parameters given to the function module.
Regards.

Hi,
Can anyone let me know is there any BAPI or Function module to update infotypes 167(Health Plans) & 170(Flexible Spending Accounts).
Thanks,
Sandeep

Hi,
U can use HR_BEN_CREATE_PLANS internally it calls HR infotype operation as specified by suresh.
Suresh : If there are approximately 3000 records to be updated on regular basis do u think is it better to use BAPI's or BDC
