What is data manipulation

dear experts,
i have got a requirement saying ABAP developers needed ..in that they mentioned
Data manipulation and Scripting...
i am assuming data manipulation as inserting, modifying ie. doing modifications in the database
and not sure of the scripting...
what do they really mean?
thanks in advance.

LSMW Scripting tools  - the referrs to data transfer or conversion from legacy system to SAP.  LSMW is a tool within R/3 that we use to do this.
Customizations - This could be modifying standard SAP programs to conform to the business requirement and/or writing custom programs to fill the gap
Data Conversion -  This is converting data from 3rd party or legacy systems to SAP database.
Data Manipulation - Again, not sure, but it could be anything related to data.
Scripting -  I think this may refer to the sapscript forms tool that I mentioned before.
Really all of them except for the first are a little ambiguous.
Regards,
RIch Heilman

  • What class to use for date manipulation

    To get some experience in using Java, I would like to write a small application. I want users to enter their names and birth dates, and then I want to present the number of days they have been walking around on this planet. Furthermore, I want to present the dates when the number of days will be a nice quantity ("On February 1st, 2007 your day age will be 10.000 days", or something like that).
    To calculate the number of days, I have to do some date manipulation. Now I am wondering what date-related classes I should use. Of course, there is Date, but in the API specification, I see 'deprecated' for a lot of methods. Does this mean that the use of Date is discouraged, and/or should be avoided?
    Then, there is a class Calendar, but that's an abstract class. Thus, I cannot create a Calendar object when a user has entered his birth date (in a Swing JTextField).
    The use of GregorianCalendar seems a bit far-fetched to me, but maybe I am wrong.
    In short, when a user has entered his birth date, I want to store it in some date-like object, and I want to be able to do some arithmetic based on that object.
    Can anyone give me some clues?

    Yes, that's the way to go.

  • Best Practice for Package Implementation of Data Manipulation

    Hi,
    Would like to ask which is better implementation for data manipulation (insert, update, delete) stored procedure for a single table.
    To create a single procedure with input parameter for the action such as 1 for insert, 2 for update and so on
    or
    to create separate procedures for each like procedure pInsData for insert, pUpdData for update...

    Hi,
    Whenever you create a procedure it resides as a seperate object in database.
    In my opinion its better to create a single procedure which takes care of all DML concern to a table, rather than creating different procedures for each DML.
    If your number of DML are more and interrelated then its better to create a package and put all related DML procedures in the package concern to one transaction or table. This is because whenever you will call a package entire package will be placed in the memory for a particular session. So if you create different procedures for DML then you need to call the procedures each time you want it to be executed.

  • What is "date created" and why does it change?

    I have Photoshop Elements 10 that I am using with Windows XP  Service Pack 3, a Pentium 4 CPU with 3 GHz, 2 GB of RAM and 48.6 GB of free disk space.
    None of the "dates created" in Properties  match the date the picture was taken. What does "Date Created" represent? Is it the date that the images are pulled into a catalog in Organizer?
    I have multiple catalogs that show creation dates that are later than the date modified, (example: date created of June 2012 and a date modified of March 2012). How is it possible that the date created is later than the date modified? Shouldn't the date created be earlier than the date modified?
    Also, I have had several instances in which the date created was changed again, making the system think it was a "new" image in my watched folders. Shouldn't the Date Created remain constant?  How can I keep the date created from being changed?

    See that faq from John R Ellis:

  • What is data roaming? Does it cost extra? Why doesn't my iPhone automati...

    What is data roaming? Does it cost extra?
    Why doesn't my iPhone automatically connect to AT&T service? Sometimes I have to go directly to Carriers in the Settings to connect to AT&T 3G. Thank you in advance.

    There is no local data roaming or call roaming in the U.S. as a subscriber with AT&T. Wherever AT&T has coverage in the U.S. is included.
    AT&T does not own all the towers in the areas where they have coverage in the U.S. AT&T calls this "off net usage"
    The following was copied from AT&T's wireless service agreement.
    +If your minutes of use (including unlimited services) on other carrier networks ("off-net usage") during any two consecutive months exceed your off-net usage allowance, AT&T may, at its option terminate your service, deny your continued use of other carriers' coverage or change your plan to one imposing usage charges for off-net usage. Your off-net usage allowance is equal to the lesser of 750 minutes or 40% of the Anytime Minutes included with your plan. AT&T will provide notice that it intends to take any of the above actions, and you may terminate the agreement.+

  • What is Data Abstraction ?

    any thing that can be shown in program and just indicate that this is data abstraction and its advantagesIn short, when you encapsulate something you get an inside and an outside. The outside is called the data abstraction and the inside is called information hiding.
    Data abstraction is often called type. In Java everything you can do with a specific class, interface or enum is the type of that class, interface or enum. So the type (or data abstraction) defines what can be done, not how it's accomplished. How it's accomplished is hidden from view. It's an implementation detail (or information hiding).
