Thread for routines scenarios-

Question

Hello guys,
We are a couple of BI starters without project experience. We read some documents about where to use ABAP in BI  and how to use.We want to implement them in our sandbox but donot know anything about how the requirement will be.
So we thought of starting a thread here so that people who have got project experience will post in this thread ,where they have used ABAP in their projects or which client requirement made you use ABAP.
I am sure many of BI starters will like to learn from this thread.
Thanks,
Rgds,

Answer 1

Hi,
Scenario 1: Reporting Level
There is Material which is having Manufature Date and Expiry Date.My client wants the no.of Daya between Manufature Date and Expiry Date.So for this we have created customer exit variable and written a code to clacute the no.of.Days.Code written in CMOD ( ABAP Code) in BI.
Scenario 2:  Start Routine
Trnaformation Level
Program Name:      Start Routine of Update Rule 2LIS_04_P_MATNR                    
Data Declaration
  DATA:i_ZPPLANT_ATT
         like /BI0/PPLANT occurs 0
           with header line,
       i_ZPSALESORG_ATT
         like /BI0/PSALESORG occurs 0
           with header line.
Remove content of DataSet
  refresh: i_ZPPLANT_ATT,
           i_ZPSALESORG_ATT.
Selection of Data Package Attributes
  SELECT PLANT SALESORG OBJVERS
    FROM /BI0/PPLANT
  INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF
    TABLE i_ZPPLANT_ATT.
  SELECT SALESORG COMP_CODE OBJVERS
    FROM /BI0/PSALESORG
  INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF
    TABLE i_ZPSALESORG_ATT.
  LOOP AT DATA_PACKAGE.
    CLEAR i_ZPPLANT_ATT.
    CLEAR i_ZPSALESORG_ATT.
  Retrieval of Company Code using Plant Attributes
    READ TABLE i_ZPPLANT_ATT WITH KEY
               PLANT = DATA_PACKAGE-PLANT
               OBJVERS = 'A'.
    READ TABLE i_ZPSALESORG_ATT WITH KEY
               SALESORG = i_ZPPLANT_ATT-SALESORG
               OBJVERS = 'A'.
    DATA_PACKAGE-COMP_CODE = i_ZPSALESORG_ATT-COMP_CODE.
    DATA_PACKAGE-/BIC/ZCMPSCRAP = DATA_PACKAGE-/BIC/ZCMPSCRAP / 100.
    Modify DATA_PACKAGE TRANSPORTING
        /BIC/ZCMPSCRAP
        COMP_CODE.
  ENDLOOP.
if abort is not equal zero, the update process will be canceled
ABORT = 0.
