Type Pool/Type Group Question

We are moving Some tax Scheduling reporting into an SEm system that sirs o top of BW. The issue is there were type-pools in the R3 sending system (SAP delivered) that are not in the SEM system. 1)Can I copy and create the type-pool?2)How would I creta a typr pool?
Or is a type-pool/group created automatically when some other deveopment is being created?
Thank-You

Hi,
You can use transaction SE11 to create type group.
SE11 -> Enter Type Group name -> Click on Create button -> ...

Diff b'ween Type pools & type Groups

Hi!
What is type pools & Can i know the difference between the Type pools & type Groups.

Hi,
Type Groups
Before Release 4.5A, it was not possible to define standalone types in the ABAP Dictionary to which you could refer using a TYPEaddition in an ABAP program. It was only possible to refer to flat structures. Structures in programs corresponded to the structures of database tables or structures in the ABAP Dictionary. In ABAP programs, you could only refer to database tables and structures in the ABAP Dictionary using LIKE. It was, however, possible to refer to individual components of the Dictionary type. Complex local data types such as internal tables or deep structures had no equivalent in the ABAP Dictionary. The solution to this from Release 3.0 onwards was to use type groups. Type groups were based on the include technique, and allowed you to store any type definitions globally in the Dictionary by defining them using TYPES statements.
The definition of a type group is a fragment of ABAP code which you enter in the ABAP Editor. The first statement for the type group pool is always:
TYPE-POOL pool.
After that, you define data types using the statement TYPES. It was also possible to define global constants using the CONSTANTS statement. All the names of these data types and constants must begin with the name of the type group and an underscore: pool_
In an ABAP program, you must declare a type group as follows before you can use it:
TYPE-POOLS pool.
This statement allows you to use all the data types and constants defined in the type group pool in your program. You can use several type groups in the same program.
Note:
As of release 6.40, you can also define data types and constants in the public visibility area of global classes, by which type groups can be completely replaced.

Diff. bet TYPE-POOL & TYPE-POOLS

Hi,
Could anyone please tell me the difference b/w TYPE-POOL & TYPE-POOLS statements with some examples

Oh, I think I see what you are talking about. In a report program write this.
report zrich_0002.
type-pools slis.
Now double click on the SLIS. This takes you to the type pool. This first statement in the code is TYPE-POOL. This is just how you define the start of the type pool. Sort of like REPORT ZRICH_0002 or FUNCTION ztest. When developing a type pool you will begin the code by saying TYPE-POOL ZTEST. Then, to use the type pool in your program, you will say TYPE-POOLS ZTEST.
Make sense?

Where to set up a TYPE-POOL Declaration in a Function Group ?

Hi,
I ve got a Function Group.
I set up a Function Module in the Function Group.
I must use TABLES I_T_SELECT TYPE SBIWA_T_SELECT.
I get the error:
Type pool SBIWA has not been declared
Message no. FL031
Diagnosis
You used a type from type pool & in the interface of a function module.
Procedure
For the program to be syntactically correct, you must
declare the type pool in the global data declaration of the
function group using the 'TYPE-POOLS: &.' statement.
Where / How do I set up a Type Pool in the global data declaration of the
function group ?
Where / what is the global data Declaration of the Function Group ?
Thank You
Best Wishes
Martin

Hello Martin,
First off:
TABLES I_T_SELECT TYPE SBIWA_T_SELECT.
Correct me if I'm mistaken here, but tables is expecting a name of a DDIC structure. It is then creating a work area using that structure.
If you have to declare an internal table, the correct code would be:
DATA i_t_select TYPE TABLE OF sbiwa_t_select.
Or:
TABLES sbiwa_t_select.
Regarding your questions:
A global data declaration of a function group is just what it says, a point where you can declare your data usable for the whole function group.
This is usually an Include.
That said, you can fix your issue by creating an Include in your function group.
Within that include you have to write:
TYPE-POOLS: pool1, pool2, pool3.
or, in case you only have one type pool:
TYPE-POOLsbiwa
After creating the include, you have to point your function module to that file.
INCLUDE include_name.
Kind regards,
Michael

Type pool: slis

Hi experts
pls could you explain what is TYPE-POOLS: SLIS clearly in ALV program. i want to know what is the basic structure of slis and what is type pool. thax heaps.......
points awarded...
kondal

SLIS is a type pool or group and is nothing more than a collection of TYPE statements. When you use the TYPE-POOLS: statement in your program, and name the type group SLIS, this gives you access to these TYPES so that you can use them in your DATA statements. For example, if you want to declare an internal table for the field catalog.....
type-pools: slis.
data: ifldcat type slis_t_fieldcat_alv.

Type-Pools in SE11 used on Class Parameter

I have a strange one. In 46C have parameter on a method of a class that uses a data type from a type pool. Specific the parameter is a range type that is defined in the Type Pool. In 46C this syntax checks fine. But now we have upgraded our test system to 6.00 this no longer syntax checks. It Syntax checks ok in SE24, but in SE11 it errors out. In SE11 I get the error message The type "ZVMPL_TYRG_IDNFL" is unknown. I am on Basis Stack 13. Any insight on the problem would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Type pool program??

Hi all,
I want to write a type pool program.. but i could not see type pool in the pull down menu when you create a program from se38.. there was program types: 1, f, i, j, k, m, s but nothing for type pool. Please give me steps for creating one and also one example of such program by sap.
Thanks,
Charles.

u can create type pool in se11 not se38....
but use it in se38....
in se11 u find 'type group'......give a name and create...
for reference...u check SLIS type group....which we generally use in ALV...
type pool or group and is nothing more than a collection of TYPE statements. When you use the TYPE-POOLS: statement in your program, and name the type group , this gives you access to these TYPES so that you can use them in your DATA statements.

What is TYPE GROUP /TYPE-POOL? When to use that ?

hello friends
Can any one tell me
What is TYPE GROUP /TYPE-POOL? When to use that ?
Thanks & Best Regards

Type group
If you want to define global constants, you have to use a type group. The name of
the type group can only contain a maximum of five characters. In the type group,
you can define constants using the CONSTANTS statement. As types, you are
provided with the integrated ABAP types or the global types of the Dictionary.
In order to be able to use the types of a type group in a program, make the type
group known using the TYPE POOL statement. From these lines on, you can use
all constants of the type group.
The definition of a type group is a piece of ABAP code that is either maintained
via the Dictionary (SE11) or via the ABAP Editor (SE38).
Realization:
The first statement for the type group zmytp is always:
TYPE-POOL zmytp.This is followed by the definition of data types with the statement TYPES, as
described under local program data types. Furthermore, cross-program constants
can be declared using the CONSTANTS statement. All names of this data type
and constants must begin with the name of the type group and an underline:
zmytp_
In an ABAP program, type groups must be made known with the following
statements before they are used:
TYPE-POOLS zmytp.
When using this statement, all data types ansd constants, which are defined in the
zmytp type group can be used in the program. Several type groups can be used
in a program.

ALV Using TYPE-POOLS: SLIS

hi
Using TYPE-POOLS: SLIS
I created a "special group" using structure
slis_sp_group_alv
and appending it to table of type
slis_t_sp_group_alv
i call this special group internal table using the function module:
"REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY"
the sample code will look something like this:
DATA: gt_sgroup TYPE slis_t_sp_group_alv.
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY'
IT_SPECIAL_GROUPS        = gt_sgroup.
My question is How should i add the contents of my internal tables which i create using 'fieldcat' into this "special group" say 'xyzw' is the name of my special group.
Deepak

Hi Deepak,
First you have to populate the internal table ( i.e, Fill the internal table ). Then pass that internal table to that function u r calling.
See d below code for your reference for how to add the rows to the internal table. Follow similarly,

!!URGENT!! Type Pool DMUT not available in 45B

Dears,
Please can you suggest a solution for this. The type- pool/group DMUT does not exist in SAP version 45B. I want to use a FM ( coded in v5.0) which uses this type-pool.
Is there any other type-pool/group which could be used as an alternative in older versions of SAP.

If this is a standard function module, this may not exist in earleir version. Are you plannign to copy this from 5.0?
In this case create the type pool along with the function module.

Table prmter E_T_DATA for extract missing & TYPE-POOL "RSAZT" is unknown

Hi
I have created generic extraction, the name of the FM is ZRSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_CRASS.
I have set parameter table E_T_DATA like this in Tables tab
E_T_DATA LIKE ZRPS_CRASS
Then I set transaction data extraction using tcode RSO2 using FM ZRSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_CRASS and structure ZRPS_CRASS, name the datasource : Z_COPA_CRASS
I have run rsa3 and get 563 data using this datasource (Z_COPA_CRASS) at the development system
But why when I transport this into QA and Production, I get these following error on transport log:
1 Table parameter E_T_DATA for extractor missing
2 TYPE-POOL 'RSAZT' is unknown (check using tcode se38, program name : SAPLZRSAX, include : LZRSAXTOP)
For no 1:
Why this error happen?I have set E_T_DATA to extraction structure correctly...I think...
For no 2:
When i check my development system, this type pool exist but when i check in production system, the type pool doesn't exist.
Anyone can solve my problem?Thank you.
Regards,
Satria

Hi Satria,
Go to SE37 -> give the FM name (dont click on display/change) -> on the menu bar -> Click on Go To -> Function groups -> Change Groups -> Get the Function group name. -> Just edit the Function Group description so that the Function group get collected in the TR. Also in the same window go to MAin program -> just reactivate and collect them in the TR.
The whole function group will be collected. Apart from these, also collect the Structure, Datasource and import it again.
This problem arised many times for me, i have re transported the function group and things used to work properly once the Trasnporting the Function group is successful

col2 TYPE i,
END OF hktst_typ1.
TYPES hktst_typ2 TYPE p DECIMALS 2.
CONSTANTS hktst_eleven TYPE i VALUE 11.
This type group defines two data types HKTST_TYP1 and HKTST_TYP2, as well as a constant HKTST_ELEVEN with the value 11.
Any ABAP program can use this definition with the TYPE-POOLS statement:
TYPE-POOLS hktst.
DATA: dat1 TYPE hktst_typ1,
dat2 TYPE hktst_typ2 VALUE '1.23'.
WRITE: dat2, / hktst_eleven.
The output is:
1,23
11
The data types defined in the type group are used to declare data objects with the DATA statement and the value of the constant is, as the output shows, known in the program.

How to create type pools

Hi Experts,
I have a query like can we create custom "type pools". if yes, then what are the steps to create it.
Thank you in advance.
Samad.

hi..
Pls check the f1 help in ur system.
It gives u simple examples. Anyway,
Typepool falls under - Data types.
Data Types
You can define program-local data types in ABAP programs that can be used for typing or declaring additional data types and data objects according to validity and visibility.
The corresponding statements are:
1. TYPE-POOLS
2. TYPES
3. INCLUDE TYPE
TYPE-POOLS
Syntax
TYPE-POOLS tpool.
Effect
Declaring global data types and constants from a type group.
The TYPE-POOLS statement declares the data types and constants of type group tpool You can specify it in the global data declarations of an ABAP program or in the declaration section of a class or interface. The data types and constants of the type group are visible as of this statement in the current context.
Notes
If the declared type group tpool integrates a further type group with the TYPE-POOLS statement, its data types and constants are also declared.
,,Data types declared using type groups cover ABAP Dictionary data types of the same name.
Example
Declaration of the predefined type group abap. By referring to the table type abap_func_parmbind_tab from the type group abap, the system declares an internal table parameter_tab for the dynamic parameter transfer to function modules.
TYPE-POOLS abap.
DATA parameter_tab TYPE abap_func_parmbind_tab.

Where did type-pools: SLIS store in database?

HI GURU'S,
In which table did the type-pools SLIS will store in datadictionary .

Hi
The type groups are stored in the table "TADIR".
Go the Transaction Code SE16 and enter the table name "TADIR" and execute.
On the selection screen Enter OBJECT = TYPE and DEVLOPMENT CLASS = Slis and execute.
Hope it helps.
