System fields

Hi all,
can u please
what is the difference between sy-index and sy-tabix
thanks
swapna rani

Hi Swapna,
SY-INDEX
SY-INDEX contains the number of loop passes in DO and WHILE loops, including the current loop pass.
Internal Tables
SY-TABIX
Current line in an internal table. With the following statements SY-TABIX is set for index tables. With hashed tables, SY-TABIX is not filled or it is set to 0.
·        APPEND sets SY-TABIX to the index of the last table row, that is the total number of entries in the target table.
·        COLLECT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the existing or appended table row. With hashed tables, SY-TABIX is set to 0.
·        LOOP AT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the current table row at the beginning of every loop pass. After leaving a loop, SY-TABIX is set to the value it had before entering the loop. With hashed tables, SY-TABIX is set to 0.
·        READ TABLE sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table row read. If no row is found with binary search while reading, SY-TABIX contains the index of the next-highest row or the total number of rows +1. If no row is found with linear search while reading, SY-TABIX is undefined.
·        SEARCH FOR sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table row, in which the search string was found.

View with selection conditions with system fields.

Hi Experts,
I have a view. Now i want to control the data that is selected using 'Selection Conditions'.
here i want to use system field SY-DATUM.
My requirement is i want to control the output like
Valid_From_Date GE SY-DATUM and
Valid_To_Date LE SY-DATUM
which means that i would be showing only active users in this view.
How can i go about this? System is not allowing system fields in comparision value.
Any help on this is highly appreciated. Thanks.
regards,
Simha

Hi,
I am getting a warning first 'enter constant as comparision value'
when i trying to activate the view i am getting the below error.
A join condition on a field of the system table SY (or SYST) was defined.
This is not permitted for database views because the system table is not known to the database
Have tried to activate the view you created?
How to go about this?
Regards,
Simha

Date / Time System fields - inconsistent

This is a weird one...please bear with me
Before I begin...note that this is not a problem that is difficult to fix, I'm just interested in better understanding why the system fields are behaving the way they are.
We have 20 or so programs that use a function module to create a file header that includes a date/time stamp. The programs also place a trailer with a date/time stamp that should match the one in the header. However, the programmer used different system fields (after a GET TIME statement) to create the date/time stamp in the trailer. On occasion, the date/time stamp comes out different.
Here's the code (sry about all caps):
GET TIME.
CONCATENATE SY-DATUM SY-UZEIT INTO BATCHID.
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_YADAYADA'
       EXPORTING
            FILE_ID              = P_FILEID
            REFRESH_TYPE         = P_REFTYP
            START_PERIOD         = START_PER
            END_PERIOD           = END_PER
       IMPORTING
            STRING255            = OUTPUTSTRING
       EXCEPTIONS
            INVALID_REFRESH_TYPE = 1
            INVALID_BATCH_ID     = 2.
...sy-subrc check...
TRANSFER OUTPUTSTRING TO P_FILE1. <--header output
CONCATENATE L_TRL BATCHID COUNT T_TOTAL SPACE
              INTO OUTPUTSTRING SEPARATED BY L_DEL.
CONDENSE OUTPUTSTRING NO-GAPS.
TRANSFER OUTPUTSTRING TO P_FILE1. <--trailer output
inside function module *****
CONCATENATE: SY-DATLO SY-TIMLO INTO DATESTAMP,
               SY-SYSID SY-MANDT INTO MACHINE_NAME.
CONDENSE: DATESTAMP, MACHINE_NAME NO-GAPS.
CONCATENATE C_HDR DATESTAMP FILE_ID MACHINE_NAME
              SY-CPROG ' ' REFRESH_TYPE START_PERIOD
              END_PERIOD DATESTAMP
              INTO STRING255 SEPARATED BY '~'.
CONDENSE: STRING255 NO-GAPS.
You can see that the function uses SY-DATLO and SY-TIMLO for creation of the header, while SY-DATUM and SY-UZEIT are used for the trailer. What's wierd is that sometimes the trailer has a date/time stamp that is 1 second <b>greater</b> than the header, despite the fact that it is stored in the BATCHID variable <b>before</b> the header is created.
Any help, references, explanations greatly appreciated (and rewarded with points)

Hi Brian
Here is the related part from the weblog of ABAP expert Horst Keller. Hope it may help. For the full document, you can visit <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.sdn.wcm.compound.docs/library/uuid/f1391fc3-0301-0010-d384-fccd036f1c67">here</a>.
The values of all system fields in this table are implicitly set when the program is started, every time a screen layout of a screen is sent, and when the internal mode is set. The GET TIME command explicitly updates the system fields, except for sy-dayst, sy-fdayw and sy-tzone.
With the exception of sy-datlo and sy-timlo, all system fields refer to the local date and time of the current SAP system. The ABAP runtime environment clock is synchronized with the database server clock at regular intervals in order to calculate the local time of the SAP system. During the synchronization process, the ABAP runtime environment clock is set to the database server clock. Because this happens on all application servers in an SAP system, the ABAP runtime environment clock is synchronous with the clocks on all other application servers and with the database system clock, and thus shows the local time of the entire SAP system. The time zone on which the local time of an SAP system is based is the only entry in the database table TTZCU.
The content of sy-zonlo is taken from the user master record of the current user. The values of sy-datlo and sy-timlo are calculated from sy-datum and sy-uzeit and from the time zone of the SAP system for the time zone in sy-zonlo. If the user master record does not contain a time zone, or if it contains an invalid or an inactive time zone, sy-datlo and sy-timlo are set to the values of sy-datum and sy-uzeit. All valid time zones are defined in table TTZZ.
Is't the naming of sy-datum and sy-uzeit really geeky?
Time Stamps
The above system fields for date and time are not sufficient for many requirements of determining unique points in time: They represent local times and the values are measured in seconds. For more exact date and time determination, you use time stamps.
A time stamp represents date and time in the form YYYYMMDDHHMMSS. YYYY is the year, MM the month, DD the day, HH the hour, MM the minutes and SS the seconds. There is a short form and a long form. In the long form, the format specified above additionally contains 7 decimal places for fractions of seconds, which allows for an accuracy of up to 100 ns. The maximum time resolution depends on the operating system of the application server and may be less.
A valid time stamp must contain values whose date and time specifications before the decimal separator correspond to valid values for the data types d and t. Time stamps in this form are always considered as UTC (Universal Time Coordinated, basis for calculating worldwide time specifications; the UTC reference time is based on Greenwich Mean Time, GMT, but is not a time zone; it has no daylight saving time or summer time) time stamps when processed with the corresponding statements. You use the statement GET TIME STAMP to create a time stamp that represents the current UTC reference time.

Help on System fields.

Hi all,
I have always confusion when to use which system fields(tabix, index, tfill).
í created one program first i used sy-tabix instead of sy-index.Then it doesnt work.
Please clarify me with examples.
that code is.
FORM delimiting.
DO.
* assigns the next field in the current header to <f>.
    ASSIGN COMPONENT sy-index OF STRUCTURE i_itab TO <f>.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
    IF sy-index = 1.
      excel_string = <f>.
    ELSE.
      CONCATENATE excel_string <delim> <f> INTO excel_string.
    ENDIF.
ENDDO.
ENDFORM.                    " delimiting
Thanks and regards
Chandu.

Hi,
Sy-index specifies about the current loop pass which is same as ur example.
Sy-tabix stores the current line index of the table.
loop at it_mara.
< ur logic >
modify table it_mara index sy_tabix.
endloop.
Sy-tfill tells abt the current number of lines in the internal table.
describe table it_mara lines sy-tfill.
if sy-tfill = 0.
<ur code if table is initial>
endif.

Neelima.

Display system fields on web templates

Is there any way to display system fields like SY-DATUM, SY-TZONE, etc. on a web template?
I am talking about the fields NOT provided as general text elements (ROLLUPTIME, REPTXTLG, etc) in the text element web item.

Sorry Nikhil, my java skills are not upto mark..
but you can try the following
<h4>It is now <script type="text/javascript">

</script>
</h4> ... I am sure some one over here will answer better..
2) coming to accesing r3 tables.. i am afraid you may have to go for customer exits..

Top of page system fields

How to use Top of page system fields like sy-tvar0 to sy-tvar1
thanks in advance
Rishi

Hello ,
in the standard title you can have &0 ... &n. The program must put the values to fields SY-TVAR0 to SY-TVARN.
see this sample:
Pass the variables for the list heading
MOVE SY-Title TO SY-TVAR0.
MOVE SY-Datum TO SY-TVAR1.
MOVE SY-Pagno TO SY-TVAR2.
From output screen: System>List>List Header
Click on first white line and enter the following title to the yellow box: Title: &0 Date: &1. Page No: &2......
Hope its what you mean.

SY - System fields and return codes in ABAP

Hi
I'm new to ABAP, where do I find what the meaning of the system field return codes are ?
example SY-SUBRC returns a number of codes 0, 2, 4, 8 etc what do they mean.
Is there a resource somewhere that provides this information for all the system fields.
I have searched high and low and have found little, they must be defined somwhere ?
cheers Hugh

Here is a listing of all of the system fields.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/7b/fb96c8882811d295a90000e8353423/frameset.htm
As for what the return codes( 0, 4, 8) for SY-SUBRC mean, that is a little tricky. The meanings of the values are dependent on what statement was used previously. They would mean different things when used with different statements. For example, if you check SY-SUBRC after a FIND statement, the return code value 4, would mean something different than if you had check the SY-SUBRC value after doing an OPEN DATASET. So you need to look at the specific statements in help.sap.com and see what it says about the SY-SUBRC values for each statement.

Empty System Fields after error creates a short dump

Hello!
Could someone please help me?
After calling a function, I catch errors with sy-subrc NE 0.
Handling this error the "normal" way throws a short dump (I marked the row bold), because all the system fields are empty!
Could someone please give me a hint, how to handle this situation?
Many thanx in advance!
Perhaps some code:
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CONFIRM'
EXPORTING
    is_bdnum      = is_bed-bdnum
TABLES
    et_return     = lt_return
EXCEPTIONS
    error_occured = 1
    lock_error    = 2
OTHERS        = 3.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
ENDIF.
I get a short dump with this:

Hi,
You need to capture the message like this way
IF sy-subrc eq 1.
   message e999(your mesage class) with 'Error Occured'.
endif.
IF sy-subrc eq 2.
   message e999(your mesage class) with 'Lock error'.
endif.
IF sy-subrc eq 3.
   message e999(your mesage class) with 'Other Errors'.

Creation of random number through system fields

Hi ,
I like to create a random number generation program.(apart form system time) .
I have noticed that system response time differs (minimal variation in terms of milliseconds) every time
when we execute a program .
In that case could i know how to get the system response time and interpretation time from system fields in program !
Note : I like to know the table in which these values can be retrieved (like TRDIR for other system fields)

use these function modules.
QF05_RANDOM
RANDOM_AMOUNT.

ADDING SOURCE SYSTEM FIELD IN MY QUERY

HI ALL,
i WANT TO DEVELOP A CUSTOM REPORT WITH SOURCE SYSTEM FIELD IN MY QUERY WHICH THE FIELD IS NOT COMING FROM THE CUBE . PLEASE COULD SOMEONE HELP ME IN THIS REGARD.
MAX PTS GIVEN
REGARDS,
AXEL

Hi Axel...
if yo want ot jump from a query to some R/3 report, pgm, transaction...you can use the report-report interface (RRI)...but if you want to add a field on the same screen of your query, you can go for a virtual char/KF: it's enough to add it in your cube, let it empty and fill it runtime with some ABAP lines with an RFC link to the table field you need...
pay attention to performance issues and to the consideration that this field will be empty if your RFC fails (foe unavailability of R/3 system, for example...)
Otherwise try to use a virtual cube !
Hope it helps!

Roberto

Logical System field in BD10/BD14 need as a Mandatory Field

Hi All,
Good Day,
We have Logical System field in BD10 or BD14 etc.. TCodes and I would like to make this field as a Mandatory field. The reason for this is, while sending the Materials using BD10, and If I haven't enter any value for this field, IDOCs are getting generated and sending to all the logical systems say Dev, Quality and Production too. I want to avoid this.
So Is there anyway where we can make the filed "Logical System" as a mandatory field.
Thanks in Advance.
Param.

HI Param,
try BAPI_IDOC_INPUT1and check it in WE57 tcode.
hope this helps

Update SQL statement in JDBC sender (system fields)

All,
Is it possible to update more than 1 field via the update sql statement ?
Also, is it possible to use system fields ?
Something like this
UPDATE database.table SET processed='Y', date = sy-datum
Regards, Michel

Hi
use sysdate as suggested above
Check your generated SQL query format is correct
At runtime you can find the genereated sql statements by doing configuraitons in Receiver JDBC adapter.
In the JDBC Receiver adapter you have the Advanced Properties .
Over there enter the following
left column logSQLStatement
right column true
To see the query created ..
Login to adapter monitoring ..select the relevant jdbc adapter.
Now when any message is processed by the jdbc adapter in adapter monitoring at that time you will see a message link. When you click on that link a new window will open. In that window if you click on page down you will get to see the sql statement generated by the jdbc adapter.
