Use of macros in abap- HR

Hi Gurus,
What is the exact use of macros in abap-hr.Because in normal abap also these macros are existing , but we will not use these in normal abap programming.So is there any specific reason for using macros in ABAP-HR.
Thanks in advance..
Regards,
Rakesh.

This is similar to Logical Database usage. We use LDBs in HR more than in other module. SAP has created many macros that can be used in HR. Ex: you have some macros to make use of when using PNP LDB in your program. Similarly SAP provided macros to read text from PCL1 cluster table. Same thing with reading payroll results. In addition you also can define your own macros in the program and use them in the code.

Running abap programs using the macros

In our DP implementation we have faced several issues in the extraction of the data from the demand planning to one of the legacy system. We have written the ABAP program and would be using the read planning book bapi. I wanted to run the ABAP program using the macro could some one please let me know what is the structure of the macro builder that is used to fire the ABAP program. this is being fired from the macros as some comparison is to be done to run the macro.

Hi,
Some more information on macro function
REPORT_SUBMIT()
REPORT_SUBMIT( 'program_name' ; <'job_name'> ; <'job_number'>; <'newmode'>) causes the specified program to be executed. Use the optional arguments, job name and job number, if you wish the program to run in the background. If you set the argument 'newmode', the results are displayed in a new window.
Hope this will helps you.

Possible to call a transaction from a planning book using a macro button?

Hi All,
Is it somehow possible to call a transaction using a macro button in the planning book? Also, the current selection should be passed as input parameters to the transaction.
In my example, I am trying to run the transaction /SAPAPO/MC90 - Release to Supply Network Planning from the Demand Planning Planning Book/Data View. This way if planners need to change forecasts mid month for specific selections, they can easily transfer to SNP without having to go out of interactive planning.
Thank you,
Maria

Hello Maria,
It's possible to call a transaction from a planning book using a macro button.
What you can do is ..... Create a function module and inside it use the command "Call Transaction Tcode" (ABAPer can do this) to call ur specific transaction. And this module can in turn be called from your macro. Please find the below link which explanis how to call a function module from a macro. Do let me know if you need more information on this.

Execute Infopackage Through BAPI Using Excel Macro (BAPI_IPAK_START)

Hi everyone,
I have a problem when execute infopackage through BAPI using excel macro. I have create a button in macro. When this button is clicked, BAPI for trigger InfoPackage will executed (BAPI_IPAK_START) and this button will disabled.
After this process completely done (traffic indicator for the request is green in update rules), the button will enabled again.
Here the subroutine or pseudocode that i will write :
Private Sub ClickButton()
Begin
1. ThisButton.Activated = False --> Disabled Button
2. Call BAPI/custom Function Module to execute InfoPackage (BAPI_IPAK_START)
4. ThisButton.Activated = True --> Enabled Button
End
The problem is i need some statement like this between statement no 2 and statement no 4
Statement That I Want :
3. Wait Until BAPI Execute Completely
So user can click this button again only after the process is finished completely. I don't know how to do this in macro (in ABAP i know i can use "WAIT ... SECOND"), others said this can be done using event in schedule option at infopackage. Anyone,please help me.
Thank you.

How to upload Excel file in BI using function module in abap program

How to upload Excel file in BI using function module in abap program?

Hi Anuj,
To upload the file , you can try a standard program "RSEPSFTP" .
while you execute the program , a selection screen appears in which the inputs should be give as
RFC destination - The target server name
FTP command- PUT
local file - your file name
local directory - path of your local file
remote file - your target file name
remote directory - where it has to be stored
Hope this is useful for you
Thanks & regards

Using BAPI's in ABAP code

Hi bapi Guru's,
I am asked to use bapi's(Instead of BDC's) for data upload .I am not getting good documentation on 'USING BAPI's IN ABAP',Like Defining structures, and what are the FM's to be called like bapi_commit.
Any Info is Appriciated.
Regards
satish

Sorry Satish,
Maybe this is going off topic a little, bit perhaps also its relevant as you have been asked to move from BDC's to BAPIs.
Juan,
When I talk about debugging, there are two levels to this:
<b>1. Debugging by the programmer</b>
In this case, how can it be easier to debug an error from a BAPI than from the screen? For a sales order, for example, when you enter a delivery date of 01.01.2000 for an item, via BDC you will get an error message as the item is entered (something along the lines of delivery date is in the past), and you will see exactly the date you have entered, and if you don't understand the error, you can click on F1 and it will give you the long description of the error. Via a BAPI, you would get the error message, and you MIGHT get the item number and the date in question. But if you don't understand the error what do you do then? Debug the BAPI itself? You could, but isn't this a rather lengthy way to get to the root of the problem? In general, any errors you get calling BAPIs/BDCs are errors with your master data, or breaking business rules, you shouldn't have to debug standard code to tell you whats going wrong, the application can tell you.
<b>2. Debugging by the end user</b>
When you implement a BAPI/BDC this will be related to an interface/automated transaction etc. When its in production you will occassionally get errors (due to bad master data, not fully capturing all the business logic in your custom coding [it happens], technical issues etc.) What do you do then? In the case of BDC you can do nothing. The error is recorded, and you can get end users to process the errors by stepping through the screens (which they already know how to use) and make corrections as required. In the case of BAPIs, you have to record the error in a table or a file, then develop some kind of interface to display the errors, then develop some kind of process for re-processing the errors. If the data used to call the BAPI is not correct then you also need to provide a facility for changing the data before reprocessing. Normally you do none of this because its too much work and you end up having all errors coming back to the SAP team who have to debug and change table entries etc. to get it all to work. I would not say that this makes BAPIs easier to debug.
Oops, just realised my pasta is burning!!!
Anyway, think I got my point across. Not personal but feel quite strongly about this topic. To me BDC's are still a relevant tool despite the push for Idocs/BAPIs.
Cheers,
Brad

How to use RTRIM function in ABAP

Hey,
I have a question on using trim function in ABAP. According to all documents, I should be able to use rtrim as
shorttext = rtrim('abcde-xx', '-xx').
But when I do that, it gives me an error message "Comma without preceding colon (after shorttest?)"
Anyone can tell me why is this happening? how should I use this trim function? And for me to cut off variable's last few character, what else method can I use?
Thank you very much.

DATA : T1    TYPE STRING VALUE 'abcde-xx',
            T2    TYPE STRING VALUE '-xx'.
REPLACE T2 INTO T1 WITH SPACE.
WRITE :/, T1.
result output is :    'abcde'.

Using nested Joins in abap prog

Hi All,
please help me out in using nested joins in abap progrmaming. I dont know about joins in abap.specially in case of outer join.
I have 5 internal tables.. mara ,marc, mvke,mbew,ampl. am using a select query with certain fields from all these tables.
I need to disply all the materials of a mara for a particular date irrespective of the values in fields of other tables.
        Even if that materail is not present in other table for certain condtion ,that material should get displyed with all other fields showing null value..

Hi RK,
the code am using is of the same way...but my problem was with the joins..in the select query am using nested join combining inner and outer join.. but i could not able to display all the materials of mara of a particular date..
The code looks like this..
SELECT <some fields.......>
INTO TABLE i_materials
      FROM ( marc AS b
      INNER JOIN mara AS a ON amatnr = bmatnr
      INNER JOIN mvke AS c ON cmatnr = amatnr
      INNER JOIN ampl AS g ON gbmatn = amatnr
      LEFT OUTER JOIN mbew AS d ON dmatnr = bmatnr

How to use a macro with AAA Authorization set?

So!
We have ACS version 4.1, and one goal is to start working on authorization sets for groups. I am able to get basic commands to work, but was curious about making a macro work without having to allow all of the commands that are actually contained wihtin the macro itself.
I'm looking into this to promote standardization and minimize confiugration issues/inconsistencies on ports accross swtiches in our environment.
The macro I created is used for configuring a port on a swtich to change its VLAN. Basically as follows:
macro name T2
Description $DESC
switchport mode access
no cdp enable
switchport access vlan $STATIC
switchport port-security
switchport port-security aging time 2
switchport port-security violation restrict
switchport port-security aging type inactivity
storm-control broadcast level 25.00
storm-control action trap
switchport nonegotiate
no lldp transmit
no lldp receive
#macro keywords $DESC $STATIC
In ACS I've created a shell command authorization set, and allowed 'macro' with 'permit apply T2' and 'permit trace T2'. This works fine and allows me to use those macro commands. The problem I'm having is that every command in the macro is not allowed in the authorization set, so when I run the macro it fails for each command.
I don't want to allow each individual command in the authorization set as it would then allow jr. admins the ability to make config changes on ports that would be outside of our standard. For example they could get into a port and forget to disable CDP and LLDP, casuing inconsistencies accross the envrionment. Is there a way to run these macros without putting all of the commands in the authorization set?

Hello Eric,
Please see the below link for configuring Macro and how you can use them with AAA

How to use Adobe forms in ABAP

Hello Everybody,
I have used Adobe forms in webdynpro applications. Now, i want to use adobe forms in ABAP stack. Please provide me steps and guidelines to develop Adobe forms in ABAP.
What should be the infrastructure needed for that?
Thanks in Advance,
Bhavik

Hi Bhavik,
there is extensive documentation on creating PDF-based forms for printing in ABAP Workbench (transaction SFP) on the SAP Help Portal at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d2/4a94696de6429cada345c12098b009/frameset.htm.
The infrastructure is identical (ADS on Java Engine) except that you need an ABAP backend (minimum 6.40) and the corresponding SAP GUI. You also need to create an HTTP connection from your ABAP system to the ADS in transaction SM59 (see ADS Configuration Guide).
Your Adobe LiveCycle Designer installation from the NWDS should be OK, if you are working on the same frontend. (If you have difficulties with Designer, uninstall it and install it with the SAP GUI again).
Note that Web Dynpro for ABAP integration is only supported as of NetWeaver 2004s (going into ramp-up with mySAP ERP 2005 this month), which means that interactive scenarios are more cumbersome to implement in ABAP with NetWeaver 04.
Some of the things you get with the Web Dynpro framework (such as the return of data in interactive scenarios via the WD context) would need to be manually coded when working in SFP, which was designed for output forms.
Hope this helps,

How to use messages in WebDynpro-ABAP

Hi,
How to use messages in WebDynpro-ABAP.
Does it has any class to manage messages like IWDMessageManager or we can just use standard SAP Message types.. like E,W,X,I,S..
I hope it have a message container to display messages.
Thank U for Ur time.
Cheers,
Sam

Hi Sam,
U can hard code the message or u can use the Assistance class's text elements to store the messages.
1) Code to display hard coded message:
report message
CALL METHOD l_message_manager->report_attribute_error_message
EXPORTING
message_text = "Enter the correct Connection ID"
element = elem_flightinfo
attribute_name = 'CONNID'.
2) Code to display message from text element of assistance class:
lv_text = wd_assist->if_wd_component_assistance~get_text( key = '002' ).
report message
CALL METHOD l_message_manager->report_attribute_error_message
EXPORTING
message_text = lv_text
element = elem_flightinfo
attribute_name = 'CONNID'.
Where Message "Enter the Correct Connection ID" is stored in Text Element with key '002'
Hope this helps,
