TABLES statement in report program

Hi,
Is there any performance issue in using TABLES statement in report program? Because I have got an review point from QA insisting me to avoid TABLES statement. Is it recommended by SAP to avoid TABLES statement in report program?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Balaji Viswanath.

Balaji,
If you use TABLE statement it will provide the work area of the given table.
EX: Decalre any fields of table in slection scereen
without declarin g the tabel name in TAble statement.It will give error.
This will give error.
SELECT-OPTIONS : s_matnr LIKE MARA-matnr.
This will work.
TABLES: mara.
SELECT-OPTIONS : s_matnr LIKE MARA-matnr.
It means it will occupy some area.
Don't forget to reward if useful.

Table control in report program

Hi all...
Please help me to create a table control in my report program. my requirement is to enable the user to enter two fields (company code and cost center) on the selection screen. I wish to do this using table control..
example codes will be extremely helpful..
Thanks in advance..
-Pranati.

Hi,
We can not do the Table control on the selection screen, but we can do the Tab strip control.
To define a tabstrip area with tab pages, use the following statements in your selection screen definition:
SELECTION-SCREEN: BEGIN OF TABBED BLOCK <tab_area> FOR <n> LINES,
                  TAB (<len>) <tab1> USER-COMMAND <ucom1>
                              [DEFAULT [PROGRAM <prog>] SCREEN <scrn>],
                  TAB (<len>) <tab2> USER-COMMAND <ucom2>
                              [DEFAULT [PROGRAM <prog>] SCREEN <scrn>],
                  END OF BLOCK <tab_area>.

How to lock a table in a report program

Hi all,
I have a requirement inwhich if i have selected one radio button the table should locked .
and the i need to check wether the table is locked or not by checking the condition.if locked continue else i need to stop.
can any one help me doing this.

Hi,
Hope this information will be useful for you.....
The description of an SAP lock to a table is made via the lock condition and the lock mode.
The lock condition is a logical condition for the lines of the table to be locked. It describes the area of the table which the lock is to protect from competitive access. To avoid the administration of the lock becoming complicated, the lock condition can not be formulated as freely as the WHERE clauses: only fully qualified key fields related by AND may appear in the condition.
Via the lock mode you define which operations on the table are to be protected by the lock. The lock modes available are:
Read lock (shared lock)
protects read access to an object. The read lock allows other transactions read access but not write access to the locked area of the table.
Write lock (exclusive lock)
protects write access to an object. The write lock allows other transactions neither read nor write access to the locked area of the table.
Enhanced write lock (exclusive lock without cumulation)
works like a write lock except that the enhanced write lock also protects from further accesses from the same transaction.
In order to be able to define SAP locks for a table, you must first create a lock object for the table via Development->Dictionary.
If the data for an application object is distributed among several database tables, it is often necessary to be able to lock these tables simultaneously. It is therefore possible to include several tables in a lock object, althought they must be related via appropriate foreign key relationships. The tables involved in a lock object are also known as its base tables.

Getting data from table control to the report program.

Hi,
I created a table control using report program and i am trying to enter data in the table control which i want to update in the DB table. How can i get the data entered in table control to the report program, so that i can update the DB table.
Please help me finding out which variable will hold the data entered in table control(dynamically).

hi,
in your table control you give some name to that table control say it_cntrl.
this only serves as the internal table to process the table control data.
like u can write like this.
loop at it_cntrl into wa_cntrl. "wa_cntrl is work area of type it_cntrl table type
......... "do your functining
end loop.

Trigger report program if Z table field is modified/created

Hi,
I have a requirement where i want to run the report program ONLY if a particular field ( Dispatch date ) is modified or updated of a 'Z' Table ( Custom Table ).
The report program would fetch data from the same 'Z' table only for those records which are modified/updated. This data is then transferred to an application server.
1. How should i trigger the report program for the above requirement.
2. If a background program is to be created, then what should be the trigerring criteria & where it should be defined.
3. Do i need to set any change pointers etc.
Pointers to the above requirement would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Prashant

hi prashant,
   i'm working on a similar query as that of ur's.
see the logic is as we proceed in ur case is DISPATCH DATE say are to be modified in the process of inserting 0r changing the contents of a ZTABLE.
so here the logic would be
loop at itab.
MODIFY ZTABLE FROM TABLE ITAB.
endloop.
This is the key reference in our logic .
now it is known that u have a ZTABLE with dispatch date
here the data element will be DATUM .
now in the ZTABLE go to DISPATCH DATE filed i.e its DATA ELEMET double click on data element DATUM .
now if u see here there will be a tick called as Checkbox on change document which is enabling the CDHDR and CDPOS.
*if its not checked get it checked in .
This is the source to the logic.
now what u need to do in ur logic part is
1. collect all the entries of the table.
(im not sure how many entries are there but try to get all the primary keys + one or two more fields so that the time is saved . this we do to check.
2. before the modify comes into affect see if u can store all the content of the table i.e step 1.
3.lets say we have modified the ZTABLE.
4.now collect all the entries i.e newly modified into new inttab with same logic as the basic primary key configurations + two fields .
5. let the two internal tables be compared and based on the comparision derive a new internal table as follows .
REPORT ztemp .
TYPES: BEGIN OF line,
          brand(10) TYPE c,
          rate(3)   TYPE p DECIMALS 2,
          gender(1) TYPE c,
          sno       TYPE i,
          desc(30) TYPE c,
        END OF line.
DATA: it_lines_1 TYPE TABLE OF line
                  WITH KEY brand
                           rate
                           gender,
       wa_lines_1 LIKE LINE OF it_lines_1.
DATA: it_lines_2 TYPE TABLE OF line
                  WITH KEY brand
                           rate
                           gender,
       wa_lines_2 LIKE LINE OF it_lines_2.
DATA: gi_counter TYPE i.
START-OF-SELECTION.
   PERFORM fill_it_line_1. " not included; tested with your 4 records
   SORT it_lines_1.
   CLEAR gi_counter.
   LOOP AT it_lines_1 INTO wa_lines_1.
     wa_lines_2 = wa_lines_1.
     ADD 1 TO gi_counter.
     AT END OF gender.
       IF gi_counter > 1.
         APPEND wa_lines_2 TO it_lines_2.
       ENDIF.
       CLEAR gi_counter.
     ENDAT.
   ENDLOOP.
This only works if you are able to define the fields of the internal table in this order, so with the key fields first in the right order. Otherwise the AT END OF will not work.
6. now if u can reach upto here then we need not create a background program .
7. u are exactly right change pointers will have to come into picture .
8 .then comes the picture of moving this content to application server using datasets etc.
hope this helps u in building the logic .
i would like to hear from other developers too in this regard.
Thanks and regards,
vijay.

Hi All,
I want to create an internal table in a Report program. But the problem is I have to download two latest files from FTP server.

How to Populate Internal table data to Table Control in a Report Program

Dear All,
       How to Populate Internal table data to Table Control in a Report Program? It is a pure report program with out any Module pool coding involved, which is just used to display data. Till now it is being displayed in a report. Now the user wants the data to be displayed in a table control. Could someone tell me how to go about with this.
Thanks in Advance,
Joseph Reddy

If you want to use a table control, you will need to create a screen.
In your report....
start-of-selection.
perform get_data. " Get all your data here
call screen 100. " Now present to the user.
Double click on the "100" in your call screen statement. This will forward navigate you to the screen. If you have not created it yet, it will ask you if you want to create it, say yes. Go into screen painter or layout of the screen. Use the table control wizard to help you along the process. It will write the code for you. Since it is an output only table control, it will be really easy with not a lot of code.
A better way to present the data to the user would be to give it in a ALV grid. If you want to go that way, it is a lot easier. Here is a sample of the ALV function module. You don't even have to create a screen.
report zrich_0004

REPORT/PROGRAM statement missing.

Hi,
I have a report with two includes. In both the Include Programs,i am getting a error message 'REPORT/PROGRAM statement missing, or program type is I (INCLUDE).'
Eg.
Report reportname. " program type Report
include program1.    " program type Inlude
include program2.    " program type Inlude
start-of-selection.
Please Help.
Thanks & Regards,
Jayapal.

Hi ,
This will not be any problem Jay. Since it is a Non executable program it will always show that error. You can activate the program.
Do one thing create a test report program and call this include program in that report and execute. It will show you the result.
I've created an example program for this, please have a look
My Report Program :
REPORT ZTEST.
INCLUDE ZTESTINCLUDE.
My Include Program :
*& Include           ZTESTINCLUDE
data : a type i,
       b type i,
       c type i.
a = 3.
b = 2.
c = a + b.
write : / 'Result is :' , c.
Try executing the Report it will show you the result 5. Tell the client this is not a problem. Check in the attributes of your Include program ( program1 ) if it is of type Include.

Sai

How to lock a database Z table before updating it through a report program

Hi,
How to lock a database Z table before updating it through a report program and also how to unlock it after my updation.
The whole process is done through report program.

Hi,
Go to SE11, in the option 'Lock object' enter the name of your lock,
begin with 'E', suppose 'EXXXX' And create. In tab 'Tables' fill the
table name where the record you want to lock exist and select the
lock mode. Lock mode can be shared and exclusive. If 'shared',
when you lock the record, other can also read data, but can not
modify. If 'exclusive', when you lock the record, other can neither
read nor modify the record. After save and activate, you will get two
function module.'ENQUEUE_EXXXX' to lock record,
'DEQUEUE_EXXXX' to release lock on one record.
When use this function module it only lock one record at a time. It
does not lock the table.

Omkaram.

Message class defined as part of report/program statement

Hi,
This is a very general question but I am not sure to what this refers to.
"Message class defined as part of report/program statement"
What does this mean or what is this referenced to?
Thanks
Edited by: David Rivera on Feb 3, 2010 10:36 PM

Hello,
it means when you are creating a report / program you can assign one message class to that...
like:
report Ztest message-id <message class>
then you can access all the messages defined in that message class...
Thanks

Few questions on Report programming

Hi guys,
I have few questions on report programming.
1. What is the purpose of the statement REPORT zxxx. Even if i gave a name other than my report name i don't find any difference in syntax check/Functionality.
2. What is the purpose of list headings in report program? This option will come along with the text elements and selection texts.
3. What is the purpose of logical data base. Even if it is efficient why don't we use it frequently in our reports? Is there any limitations?
All usefull answers will be rewarded as usuall:-)
Thanks,
Vinod.

1. As u told that you dint get any syntax errors even after changing the Report Name,there are chances of getting Runtime errors.
2. The usage of List Headings is when you create a list in a program, you can also create your own list and column headings.
Refer this link for further info.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/e3/960a05eb0711d194d100a0c94260a5/content.htm
3. The Limitation of LDB is the usage of GET statements which act similar to SELECT - ENDSELECT And also if you dont choose the proper LDB,a single LDB may contain data retrieval from so many tables ,that it would make the entire process very slow and it is very hard to find LDBs for other modules than HR.
Only in HR module the data is organized in such a way thatusing LDBs would be much simpler.
Reward points if useful.
