Using ldb PCH in HR

hi ,
can somebody give me sample code for using PCH logical database. and the events used in it

In Human Resources (HR), the following logical databases can be used as a data source for HR InfoSets:
PNP (PNPCE)
PAP
PCH
By selecting a logical database, you determine the HR data that can be reported on using an InfoSet.
PCH
This logical database generally enables you to report on all HR infotypes. However, you are advised not to use this logical database unless you want to report on Personnel Planning data.
The InfoSet is based on logical database PCH
Provided that object selection is switched on, InfoSets based on this database enable you to use InfoSet Query to select objects of one object type, such as business events, qualifications, and positions. You can use all of the fields of infotypes allowed for the object in question, and all of the object types and their allowed infotypes that can be related with the selected object type, as selection criteria and for output.
When you create an InfoSet, you determine the object type that you can select using an InfoSet. The generated InfoSet can only be used to select this particular object type. If you want to create reports for business events, qualifications, or positions, for example, you must create three separate InfoSets. This means the reports can only be executed separately.
If you do not select an object type when you create the InfoSet, you can only use the InfoSet for InfoSet Query if object selection has been switched off.

Changes in Standard RHBUCH00_LSO with LDB PCH

Hi All,
Greetings!!
I have to make changes in RHBUCH00_LSO which uses LDB PCH . The changes are to display Applicanr also with Participant also . The Standard report at selection screen take only one object type (P Participant ) or (AP Applicnat) .
As it uses LDB making changes in it is difficult .
I am trying yo use FM LDB_PROCESS to call again LDB for AP .
Please throw some light on the use of FM LDB_PROCESS or is some other alternative is available .
Thank You

Hi rhaul,
1. I don't we can directly do as per ur requirement.
2. Bcos No-Intervals cannot be modified using Loop at screen.
3. Another option is to copy the standard Ldb and use it.

Can I use LDB in a WDA !?

Can I use LDB in a WDA !?
Just like we do in a HR ABAP program with PNP or PCH .
and get the infotype data with Get PERNR .
If the LDB doesn't work in WDA again,
Is there any other special tools in WDA for HR develop !?!?!?
Thanks a lot.

Renaming the Selection Text of LDB PCH

Hi -
Can anyone suggest a way to Rename the Standard Selection Screen Variable Name ( Selection Text in a Standard Selection Screen ) of a LDB ( PCH )to a custom one ?
Eg. There is a need to change the Object ID ( PCHOBJID - Selection Text ) to " Org. Unit " .
Thanks,
Mullai

Hi,
You can do that, suppress that field whatever you are getting from the standard LDB and define a selection field in your custom program witht he same name and use your own selection text and check,
This should work for you.
Thanks,
Mahesh.

How to use LDB PNP with ABAP objects in a program

Hello,
I am wondering if anybody has used the HR logical database(LDB) PNP with user defined ABAP objects in a program? I am using the FM- LDB_PROCESS but its not working. Also assigning PNP in the attributes section of the program -- so that I can use predefined fields from the LDB and then invoking the FM doesn't work -- throwing 'Logical database already active' error.
I suppose even with the ABAP objects and the new FM -- I should still be able to utilize the pre-defined fields of the PNP database -- and also the built in authorizations. I cannot use GET PERNR and REJECT as they give errors. I understand that the use of HR-macros (RP-PROVIDE-FROM-LAST and et al.) are not allowed as they use the table work area -- which is not allowed in ABAP-OOPS.
I would really appreciate if anyone could show me some insight regarding this. Thank you.
Kshitij R. Devre

Hi Kshitij
It would be really good if we could use both together. But as I know, it is not possible. "GET pernr." is an event-like loop statement and so cannot be used in OO context. And I guess, the same restriction holds for the "LDB_PROCESS" since it uses LDB-specific processing.
What I suggest you is to use standard and BAPI functions.
Sorry for giving bad news...

Facing Problem while Debugging a custom report using LDB

Hi Gurus,
I have requirement to modify a custom report program related to FI. This program used Logical database ZDF ( Copied original DDF) for data fetching.
when i am trying to see the data in debugging mode, its not allowing to check in start-of-selection event. only in the initialization & end-of-selection i could able to debug.
when i put breakpoint in initialization, it is allowing to see the flow till a Get Event occurs in the code, once a Get event occur the debugger is coming out and displaying the report.
If anybody faced this kind of problem when debugging a report using LDB, please share how you resolved it. If there are any other ways to debug a program of this kind please help me.
Thanks,
Nanda

Hi Amith,
I checked that way also, i put break point in database program of the copied LDB, but its not allowing to check the flow in that program also.
Please suggest any other ways.
Thanks,
Nanda

How to Create and Use ldb in reports?

Give examples that uses ldb.

Hi Albert
You can create and maintain logical databases via the transaction SE36.
You can relate a LDB to your program using the 'Attributes' window by entering the LDB name to the relevant field.
Additional to what Andreas told, many HR programs use LDB. Check programs with 'RH*'.

Want to have own selection screen in HR-ABAP report using LDB

Hi experts,
        I am working on HR-ABAP report using LDB pnp and infotypes..But, here we get the built in selection criterion..but I want my own selection screen to be displayed..whats the solution for this??? Is it possible to create my own selection screen instead of default one..and how???
Please help me..its very urgent..

Hi,
chk this out:
Create Report Categories
In this step, you define the report categories and determine the layout
   of the standard selection screen for these report categories. You can
   create report categories for programs or queries that are based on the
   PNP or PNPCE logical databases.
The definition of report categories is divided into two sections:
o   In the Change Report Category view, you define general attributes
       such as sort order, input fields for date, and so on.
o   In the Change Selection Criteria view, you define which selection
       fields of the logical database should be avaliable on the selection
       screen.
Example
You want to set up your system so that your employees can only start
   evaluation reports for Payroll if they use a payroll area. Within a
   payroll area, you should be able to select according to personnel
   number. Additional selection criteria should not be possible and you
   should not be allowed to enter a sort sequence.
Standard settings
The standard system already contains report categories. You can find the
attributes of the report categories in the table.
Note the following five report categories in particular:
o   Report category ' ' is the SAP default report category for
    programs that are based on the PNP logical database.
o   Report category PNPCE is the SAP default category for programs that
    are based on the PNPCE logical database.
o   Report category '00000000' is the customer-specific default category
    for programs that are based on the PNP logical database.
o   Report category '0PNPCE' is the customer-specific default category
    for programs that are based on the PNPCE logical database.
o   Report category __X2001 is the default category for Queries that
    are based on an InfoSet of the PNP LDB.
o   Report category QUEPNPCE is the default category for queries that
    are based on an InfoSet of the PNPCE LDB.
The default report categories are used when a report is called if
    the report has not been assigned a report category.
Parameters and Options for Report Categories of the LDB PNP and PNPCE
Parameters and Options in Screen Area General Data
   If you activate this parameter, you can only enter data on the data
   selection period if you use reports that have been assigned. The
   same date entries are then used for the person selection as for the
   date selection.
o   Matchcode allowed
   If you activate this parameter, you have use of a Matchcode
   pushbutton (search help) if you use reports that have been assigned.
   This pushbutton enables you to perform the person selection.
o   Sort allowed
   If you activate this parameter, you have use of a Sort pushbutton if
   you use report that have been assigned. This pushbutton enables you
   to define a sort order before you execute the report.
o   Organizational structure allowed
   If you activate this parameter, you have use of an Org.Structure
   pushbutton if you use reports that have been assigned. This
   pushbutton enables you to perform the person selection.
   Note:
   For more information about these options, see the online
   documentation under this path:
   SAP Library -> Human Resources -> Reporting in Human Resources
   Management -> Standard HR Reports -> Report Selection Screen in
   Human Resources Management.
Parameters and Options in Screen Areas Data Selection Period/Person
Selection Period/Payroll Area/Period/Year
o   Options for data selection period and person selection period (key
    date and so on)
    Here you define which options for date and person selection are
    available for reports that have been assigned.
o   Options for payroll area/period/year
    Here you define which options for selection using payroll
    area/period/year are available for reports that have been assigned.
Parameters and Options in Screen Area Selection View
o   Type/Name
    This parameter enables you to use selection views to define report
    categories. You use the selection view selected here to determine
    which fields are available in the Dynamic Selectionsy.
Note:
    You create selection views for the PNP and PNPCE logical databases
    in the Object Navigator (SE80):
    1. Start the Object Navigator (SE80)
    2. Choose Workbench -> Edit Object.
    3. Choose the More... tab page and the Selection view on this tab
    page.
    4. Choose Create.
    5. In the Create Selection View dialog box, choose the For any
    tables option.
    6. In the Name of view field, enter a name for your selection view.
    7. In the Tables dialog box, enter the name of the table from which
    you want to use fields.
    Note:
    When you enter the table name, observe the naming convention in
    Personnel Administration:
    Infotype number: nnnn -> table name: PAnnnn
    8. Choose Continue.
    9. In the Functional groups area, define functional groups by
    assigning a name and a number.
    10. Assign fields from the selected tables to the functional groups
    by entering the number of the desired functional group in front of
    each field.
    11. Save your entries.
For more information about adjusting the dynamic selections using
your own selection views, see the online documentation under the
following menu path:
SAP Library -> Human Resources -> Reporting in Human Resources
Management -> HR Standard Reports -> Report Selection Screen in
Human Resources Management -> Enhancing the Selection Screen -
Dynamic Selections.
If you do not want to offer dynamic selections, make the following
settings:
-   LDB PNP: In the Selection view field, enter PNP_NO_FREE_SEL.
-   LDB PNPCE: Leave the Selection view field empty.
Parameters and Options in Screen Area Data Selection Period/Person
Selection Period/Payroll Area/Period/Year
o   Available input parameters, date or period entry (today, key date,
   all, and so on), and standard value.
   Using the Standard value option, you define which of the selected
   options is shown.
Parameters and Options in Screen Area CE Selection Fields
o   CE selection fields (external person ID, grouping reason, grouping
   value)
   Using the options in this area, you define whether the external
   person Id, grouping reason, or grouping value are available on the
   selection screen.
   Note:
   These parameters are only relevant for you if you implement
   Concurrent Employment (see also note 517071).
Parameters and Options in Screen Area Selection view
o   Dynamic selections as dialog box
    If this switch is set, you can call the dynamic selections as a
    dialog box.
o   Dynamic selections active
    If this switch is set, the dynamic selections of the logical
    database are active at the start of the report.
Note that the following combinations are possible for the last two
    options mentioned:
Dyn.Sel. as dialog box/Dyn.Sel. active: inactive/inactive
    Dyn.Sel. as dialog box/Dyn.Sel. active: inactive/active
    Dyn.Sel. as dialog box/Dyn.Sel. active: active/inactive
Activities
1. Choose Edit -> New entries.
2. Enter an abbreviation and a long text for the report category.
    The customer name range for report categories is 0-9.
3. Select the For the PNPCE logical database checkbox, if you want to
    create a report category for a program or for queries of the PNPCE
    logical database.
4. In the General Data screen area, choose the desired options.
    If you want to use selection IDs, you must have first created and
    grouped selection Ids. The IMG path to do this is given in the
    parameter description section.
5. In the Data selection period/person selection period or Selection
    period screen area, choose the desired options.
6. In the Selection view screen area, choose the desired options.
7. In the CE selection fields screen area, choose the desired (only
    possible for report categories of the LDB PNPCE).
8. Save your entries.
9. Choose the subactivity Permitted selection criteria.
10. Choose Edit -> New entries.
11. In the Select option field, use the input help to select each field
    that should be available on the selection screen.
12. Select the checkbox in the 1.page column, if you want this selection
    field to be available directly when you call the selection screen.
Further notes
13. If you want to copy entries, you still have to enter the selection
    parameters again in the subsequent screen.
o   If you create the report category '000000000', a selection screen is
    generated according to report category '00000000'for all reports for
    which a report category has not explicitly been assigned.
Assign Report Categories
In this step, you assign a report category to your reports.
Example
You have created your own report, for example ZPCTEST1, and would like
    it to have the selection screen that corresponds to that of the
    evaluation report for Payroll, which is assigned to report category
    '__M00001'.
    Assign report category '__M00001' to the report.
Requirements
You must have defined the Report Categories.
Standard settings
SAP Standard Reports:
In the standard system, reports are assigned a report category. If you
    want to override these assignments, perform the activities described
    here. If you want to assign report categories to standard reports using
    SE38, this represents a modification.
Customer-Specific Reports:
For reports you have developed yourself, you can either assign report
    categories by performing the activities described here or directly in SE38.
Recommendation
Only assign a report category if you have created your own reports or if
the selection screens in the standard system do not meet your
requirements.
Activities
1. Choose Edit -> New entries.
2. Perform the required assignment using the Program name and Report
   category fields.
3. Save your entries.

U can use all the FM's which were used for LDB PNP ..
For ex : Use the below to get the payroll results ..
To get the results directory
call function 'CU_READ_RGDIR'
 exporting
 persnr = peras-pernr
 tables

Want to use ldb selection screen with select queries

I want to use ldb selection screen with select queries since ldb having performance issue .How can I use the fields of the dynamic selection of LDB in the select queries

Hi,
Check the code snippet below: Here 'XXXX' is the table for your select query.
DATA L_DS_CLAUSES TYPE RSDS_WHERE.
MOVE 'XXXX' TO L_DS_CLAUSES-TABLENAME.
READ TABLE DYN_SEL-CLAUSES WITH KEY L_DS_CLAUSES-TABLENAME
                             INTO L_DS_CLAUSES.
SELECT * FROM XXXX
          WHERE field1 IN ...
           AND   field2 ....
           AND (L_DS_CLAUSES-WHERE_TAB).
      PUT XXXX.
ENDSELECT.
You can also try using the FM 'RS_REFRESH_FROM_DYNAMICAL_SEL' passing SY-CPROG in curr_report and 'M' for mode to get the dynamic selection screen values.

Display an extra column in the standrad report using LDB

my requirement is like this
1) to add one more parameter region in the selection screen of VI98
2) Display the region column in the output in the 3rd position
is there any way to add one more parameter in the selection screen of transaction VI98 and based on the region entered the output should be filterd(ie the records of given region only should come)
this program is using ldb VXV
and selection screen 600

hi first check the report catagory of the LDB report and check whether is there any field available there...other wise create a new report catagory..
