What is ITCSY

hi
   i would like to know about ITCSY.
regards
ratna

hi,
In sap scripts, there are certain cases where we need to use some external subroutines which should be called by the script to achieve certain functionality. So these external subroutines are defined with an input and output structure which is of type ITCSY.
FORM F_GET_HEADER_DETAILS TABLES ITAB   STRUCTURE ITCSY
                                 OTAB   STRUCTURE ITCSY.
* Warehouse number
  CLEAR V_LGNUM.
  READ TABLE ITAB WITH KEY NAME = 'LTAK-LGNUM'
         TRANSPORTING VALUE.
  V_LGNUM = ITAB-VALUE.
*-Get TO number
  CLEAR V_TO_NO.
  READ TABLE ITAB WITH KEY NAME = 'LTAK-TANUM'
       TRANSPORTING VALUE.
  CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'
       EXPORTING
            INPUT  = ITAB-VALUE
       IMPORTING
            OUTPUT = V_TO_NO.
  OTAB-VALUE = V_TO_NO.
  MODIFY OTAB TRANSPORTING VALUE WHERE NAME = 'TO_NO'.
*-Get Plant
  READ TABLE ITAB WITH KEY NAME = 'LTAP-WERKS'
       TRANSPORTING VALUE.
*-Get Company Name
  CLEAR V_COMPANY_NAME.
  SELECT T001~BUTXT INTO V_COMPANY_NAME
    UP TO 1 ROWS
    FROM T001K JOIN T001
      ON T001K~BUKRS = T001~BUKRS
      WHERE BWKEY = ITAB-VALUE(4).
  ENDSELECT.
  IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    OTAB-VALUE = V_COMPANY_NAME.
    MODIFY OTAB TRANSPORTING VALUE WHERE NAME = 'COMPANY_NAME'.
  ENDIF.
      SELECT VBPA~ADRNR
             ADRC~NAME1
             ADRC~NAME2
             ADRC~NAME3
             ADRC~NAME4
             ADRC~CITY1
             ADRC~CITY2
             ADRC~POST_CODE1
             ADRC~STREET
             ADRC~REGION
             ADRC~TEL_NUMBER
             ADRC~MC_STREET
        INTO X_ADRC
        UP TO 1 ROWS
        FROM VBPA JOIN ADRC
          ON VBPA~ADRNR = ADRC~ADDRNUMBER
          WHERE VBELN = V_DEL_NO
          AND   POSNR = C_000000
          AND   PARVW = 'WE'.           
      ENDSELECT.
      IF SY-SUBRC = 0 AND X_ADRC-ADRNR NE X_KNA1-ADRNR.
        WRITE X_KNA1-ERDAT TO OTAB-VALUE.
        MODIFY OTAB TRANSPORTING VALUE WHERE NAME = 'ISS_DT'.
        OTAB-VALUE = X_KNA1-KUNNR.
        MODIFY OTAB TRANSPORTING VALUE WHERE NAME = 'CUS_NO'.
        OTAB-VALUE = X_ADRC-NAME1.
        MODIFY OTAB TRANSPORTING VALUE WHERE NAME = 'CUS_NAME'.
     endif.
This way the value is passed from the program to the scripts.
Hope this helps.

Richa

  • What is ITCSY structure

    Hi
    what is ITCSY structure
    Regards
    Suresh

    hi,
    itcsy is a structure.
    when u want to fetch additional data to pritn in u r layout with out changing the standard driver program
    then we have to use this structure through suroutine pool program.
    syntax is
    FORM<FORM>TABLES IN_TAB STRUCTURE ITCSY
    OUT-TAB STRUCTURE ITCSY.
    ENDFORM.
    HERE IN_TAB IS INTERNAL TABLE
    and one more example is
    The structure ITCSY contains field name and field value.
    The system does not execute the PERFORM command within
    SAPscript replace modules, such as TEXT_SYMBOL_REPLACE or TEXT_INCLUDE_REPLACE.
    The replace modules can only replace symbol values or
    resolve include texts, but not interpret SAPscript control commands.
    Syntax in a form window:
    /: PERFORM <form> IN PROGRAM <prog>
    /: USING &INVAR1&
    /: USING &INVAR2&
    /: CHANGING &OUTVAR1&
    /: CHANGING &OUTVAR2&
    /: ENDPERFORM
    plz reward me if helpful...

  • Scripts -ITCSY ?

    what is ITCSY Structure ? y r u using this ?

    Hi,
    1. This structure ITSCSY
    (which is actually of type ITCSY)
    2. is usually used in SAPSCRIPT (SE71)
    while calling EXTERNAL SUBROUTINES.
    3. the DEFINITION of this
    FORM,
    contains two parameters, IN and OUT,
    which are of tuype ITCSY
    4. These internal tables, then , contain
    the
    VARIABLENAME, AND VARIABLE VALUE,
    which is passed using PERFORM.
    You can call a Routine in any program in SAPScript.
    For eg: if you have a subroutine named ADD_INCOME in a program ZSHAIL_BASIC, you can call the subroutine in SAPScript as follows:
    /: PERFORM ADD_INCOME IN PROGRAM ZSHAIL_BASIC
    /: USING &var1&
    /: CHANGING &var2&
    /: ENDPERFORM.
    Here the input parameter to the subroutine is var1 and the value returned by the subroutine is var2.
    In the program ZSHAIL_BASIC, you have to call the subroutine as
    FORM ADD_INCOME TABLES IN_TAB STRUCTURE ITCSY OUT_TAB STRUCTURE ITCSY.
    ENDFORM.
    IN_TAB is a structure of type ITCSY,which has 2 components, NAME and value.
    So in the program, var1(which is sent from SAPScript) , will be stored as IN_TAB-NAME and its value will be in IN_TAB-VALUE. You can utilise the IN_TAB-VALUE and after performing the required operations, the return value should be assigned to table OUT_TAB.
    This value can thus be obtained in var2 specified in SAPScript.

  • Script itcsy structure problem

    HI Friends,
    Using ITCSy structure , when i try to add fields its not picking up the data .
    please can any body help in this ..
    if any body have any sample program please send it to me.
    Here my requirement is to add two new fields (bkpf-bktxt,bseg-sgtxt) in main window of script.
    im declaring my perform like this:
    perform <formname> in program <prog name>
    using &bsik-blnr&
    changing &v_y&.
    my report form look like this:
    *& Report ZFI_VENDOR
    REPORT ZFI_VENDOR.
    TABLES : bsik,bkpf.
    data:v_y type bkpf-bktxt,
    v_z type bseg-sgtxt,

    append output.
    *output-name = 'sgtxt'.
    *output-value = v_z.
    *append output.
    please cany body can guide me in abvoe what is problem...
    its very urgent.
    Good solutions will get good reward points.
    Regards,
    Vamsi

    Hi Vamsi,
    Please try like this....
    Loop at input where NAME = 'BSIK-BELNR'. " since you have used 'bsik-belnr' in the using clause in the script.
    Endloop.
    Also in the changing clause since you have used 'v_y' you should use the same in NAME of output...
    OUTPUT-NAME = 'v_y'
    try like this you should be able to get.
    Reward if helpful
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi
    ITCSY is the structure to create the interface for routines called by a sapscript.
    A routine of this kind has to be like this:
    FORM <NAME FORM>  TABLES INTAB    STRUCTURE ITCSY
                                                      OUTTAB STRUCTURE ITCSY.
    DATA: MY_VAR LIKE ... 
    * In INTAB there are the variables inserting by USING:
    READ TABLE INTAB WITH KEY NAME = <VARIABLE NAME>.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    *---> Get the value from INTAB-VALUE
      MOVE INTAB-VALUE TO MY_VAR.
    ENDIF.
    * In OUTTAB there are the variables inserting by CHANGING:
    READ TABLE OUTTAB WITH KEY NAME = <VARIABLE NAME>.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    *---> Set the value to OUTTAB-VALUE
      MOVE MY_VAR TO OUTTAB-VALUE.
      MODIFY OUTTAB INDEX SY-TABIX.
    ENDIF.

  • ITCPO & ITCSY

    What  role does ITCPO & ITCSY plays in SAPSCRIPTS.
    Rgrds.

    Hi,
    The structure ITCSY contains field name and field value.
    The system does not execute the PERFORM command within
    SAPscript replace modules, such as TEXT_SYMBOL_REPLACE or TEXT_INCLUDE_REPLACE.
    The replace modules can only replace symbol values or
    resolve include texts, but not interpret SAPscript control commands.
    Syntax in a form window:
    /: PERFORM <form> IN PROGRAM <prog>
    /: USING &INVAR1&
    /: USING &INVAR2&
    /: CHANGING &OUTVAR1&
    /: CHANGING &OUTVAR2&
    /: ENDPERFORM
    INVAR1 and INVAR2 are variable symbols and may be of any of
    the four SAPscript symbol types.
    OUTVAR1 and OUTVAR2 are local text symbols and must
    therefore be
    character strings.
    The ABAP subroutine called via the command line stated
    above must be defined in the ABAP report prog as follows:
    FORM <form> TABLES IN_TAB STRUCTURE ITCSY
    OUT_TAB STRUCTURE ITCSY.
    ENDFORM.
    The values of the SAPscript symbols passed with /: USING...
    are now
    stored in the internal table IN_TAB . Note that the system
    passes the
    values as character string to the subroutine, since the
    field Feld
    VALUE in structure ITCSY has the domain TDSYMVALUE (CHAR
    80). See the
    example below on how to access the variables.
    The internal table OUT_TAB contains names and values of the
    CHANGING
    parameters in the PERFORM statement. These parameters are
    local text
    symbols, that is, character fields. See the example below
    on how to
    return the variables within the subroutine.
    From within a SAPscript form, a subroutine GET_BARCODE in
    the ABAP
    program QCJPERFO is called. Then the simple barcode
    contained there
    ('First page', 'Next page', 'Last page') is printed as
    local variable
    symbol.
    Definition in the SAPscript form:
    /: PERFORM GET_BARCODE IN PROGRAM QCJPERFO
    /: USING &PAGE&
    /: USING &NEXTPAGE&
    /: CHANGING &BARCODE&
    /: ENDPERFORM
    / &BARCODE&
    Coding of the calling ABAP program:
    REPORT QCJPERFO.
    FORM GET_BARCODE TABLES IN_PAR STUCTURE ITCSY
    OUT_PAR STRUCTURE ITCSY.
    DATA: PAGNUM LIKE SY-TABIX, "page number
    NEXTPAGE LIKE SY-TABIX. "number of next page
    READ TABLE IN_PAR WITH KEY 'PAGE'.
    CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
    PAGNUM = IN_PAR-VALUE.
    READ TABLE IN_PAR WITH KEY 'NEXTPAGE'.
    CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
    NEXTPAGE = IN_PAR-VALUE.
    READ TABLE OUT_PAR WITH KEY 'BARCODE'.
    CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
    IF PAGNUM = 1.
    OUT_PAR-VALUE = '|'. "First page
    ELSE.
    OUT_PAR-VALUE = '||'. "Next page
    ENDIF.
    IF NEXTPAGE = 0.
    OUT_PAR-VALUE+2 = 'L'. "Flag: last page
    ENDIF.
    MODIFY OUT_PAR INDEX SY-TABIX.

  • What happens on iCloud (ex. contacts) when multiple family members use the same Apple ID?

    What happens on iCloud when multiple family members use the same Apple ID?  For example if we all choose to use iCloud for contacts, are they all merged together?  We use the same Apple ID so we can use find my iPhone to keep track of the whole family.

    Of course if you are both connected to the same iCloud account you have the same contacts - what did you expect?. The contacts live on the server and are read from there by the devices; so as you've both managed to sync your contacts up to iCloud they are now inextricably mixed. You can only delete your contacts by deleting individual ones, and doing that will delete them from your phone as well.
    You can only unravel this by
    1. In the iCloud contacts page at http://icloud.com, select all the contacts, click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left and choose 'Export vCard'.
    2. Sign out of System Preferences>iCloud
    3. Create a new Apple ID and open a new iCloud account with it for your own use.
    4. Import the vCard back into the iCloud contacts page.
    5. Go to http://icloud.com and sign in with the original ID. This is now his ID. Work through the contacts individually deleting the ones you don't want him to have. When done sign out and advise him to change his password.
    6. Go to the new iCloud account and delete his contacts individually.
    Of course if you have also been syncing calendars and using the same email address there are problems with doing this.

  • Macbook4,1 10.6.8 and firmware update - what went wrong?

    Macbook 4,1 2008 2.4Ghz (not unibody). I recently reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled 10.6 from the Retail DVD and all seemed to go well. The MB was working fine up to that point. I then set up the MB (network, date and time, etc.) and repaired permissions.
    I then checked Software Update and downloaded and installed the recommended updates to 10.6.8.
    Again, all seemed to go fine. System booted and I repaired Permissions again. I went to the Apple web site, a couple of other web sites, and Software Update found another update to install: Firmware. Though I don't remember what version.
    I clicked OK and it installed.
    Upon reboot, it seemed to install okay.
    But then I left the Macbook and it went into Sleep.
    I didn't come back to it again until the next day.
    When I pressed a key to wake it, I got what I now know is the screen that appears after you wake it from SAFE SLEEP. As per this Apple KB article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1757.
    And this is where the problems started.
    After the MB woke to the Safe Sleep screen, which shows the desktop a little "out of focus", the progress bars started filling in from left to right, BUT before they completed, the screen went BLACK.
    And it has had a problem with black screen ever since. I can boot the MB from internal or external HD or from DVD, and it seems to boot fine. Boot chime, Apple logo, spinning wheel, then at the point where it pauses, blue screen, then goes to desktop, instead the screen goes black.
    It finishes booting, but seems to go into Sleep.
    I can wake it by pressing a key, but the screen either comes on and goes black again after 10 seconds, or I get the Safe Sleep wake screen, and then it goes black after 10 seconds.
    And at boot or when waking the MB, the front LED flashes 5 times. There are no error beeps.
    I've tried changing RAM, but problems remain.
    So what's all this? Any ideas?
    The display doesn't seem dead, as it works to boot and wake. The MB works fine with external monitor.
    It's weird, but I can't think of anything apart from the Firmware update. The problems started right after installing it.
    Unfortunately, this model of Macbook doesn't have a Firmware Restoration image to download and burn to CD. It is the ONLY Mac at this point that doesn't have this!
    I called Apple support and even bought the 49 Euro Pay Per Incident service, which proved to be the same as throwing 49 Euro out the window. The only "technical" support they provided was to Reset the SMC, which you can find out about FOR FREE at the Apple website. And which I'd done anyway. I'd also reinstalled the MacOS. Don't want to beef too much, but sheesh, you've already got a Macbook that might need costly repairs, and they make you pay 49 Euro BEFORE they even ask you about the problem and what you've done to try to solve it. I'm tempted to say "ripoff". I mean, if all they can offer you is the advice to reset the SMC - which Apple offers for free at their website - then that's pretty poor service for 49 Euro, to say the least.
    Apart from the wasted 49 Euro, I'm pretty peeved about the Firmware update (or so it seems) wrecking a perfectly working 2008 Macbook. I don't know how to convince Apple of this, but I'm certainly going to try.

    Thanks for the reply.
    Re. the Displays setting, the Macbook display isn't recognized and mirroring isn't an available option.
    I've scoured the net and the idea of replacing the PRAM battery may be something to try. I read a post by a guy with a Macbook logic board screwed up by a Firmware update, which he solved by replacing the PRAM battery, as when you disconnect it you reset the logic board.
    Which capacitor?
    No luck so far with talking to Apple. I will try to get hold of someone a little more tech savvy and/or in a position of authority, as it seems that the Firmware is the culprit. Obviously a million other things could go wrong with a Macbook, but given the timing here it looks like the Firmware. Firmware updates can and occasionally do screw up a computer, as most manufacturers will warn you before you apply the update: PC makers, printer makers, etc. And they probably warn you that it's all your responsibility if anything goes wrong. But re. the Apple Firmware update:
    1) it came thru Software Update
    2) there was no warning
    3) to make things worse, there's no Firmware Restoration image that I can burn to a CD to reflash the logic board: this is the only Apple computer that doesn't have a Firmware Restoration option
    I'll try to get thru to a manager and convince him/her that the firmware may have been the cause.
    Do you think an authorized Apple tech might have access to some way to do a firmware restoration? Something not avaiable to mere mortals? Because if not, the only solution looks like a new logic board.

  • Format C drive, what steps to take for retaining all data of iTunes?

    Hello
    I want to format my C drive of Laptop and shift my itunes to E drive. I'm on windows 7. C drive is having itunes and in that I have synced my 2 iphones and 1 ipad.
    Now I want to format the C drive and want to retain all the data, backup, media etc of my synced data with the itunes.
    What I've done is that I transferred my music location from C to E drive by using apple forum discussion. I changed destination to E drive in ADVANCED TAB in Edit-Preferences. Then orgainzed data. That was successful.
    Now please help me on what to do next so that i can retain my all my data of itunes safe before formatting my C drive.
    Thanks in advance

    This definitely isn't intended as a substitute for tt2's tutorial (which is comprehensive and more detailed - in case of any differences I'd follow what's stated there), but in summary you should be doing the following.  I've assumed that, as per your original post, you've changed your media location to E:\iTunes and consolidated the library.  You now have a "split library" where:
    E:\iTunes contains a folder called iTunes Media which in turn contains several subfolders such as Automatically Added to iTunes, Audiobooks, Music, ...
    C:\Users\your user name\Music\iTunes contains the following folders and files:
    Album Artwork (folder)
    Previous iTunes Library (folder)
    iTunes Library Extras.itdb (file)
    iTunes Library Genius.itdb (file)
    iTunes Library.itl (file)
    iTunes Library.xml (file)
    I'd suggest making sure that you're running the latest version of iTunes before proceeding - by default, this will be the version that you download and install when you rebuild your PC.
    Before you change anything else, exit iTunes.  Now copy all of the folders and files in C:\Users\your user name\Music\iTunes to the same folder on your external drive (E:) that contains your media folder.  You should now have this:
    or something very similar.  Now restart iTunes while holding down the SHIFT key.  You will see this dialog:
    Select "Choose Library ..." and navigate to the folder on your external drive with the content as described above.  Select the iTunes Library.itl file and click OK.  iTunes will load - check that everything you expect to see is there.
    You now have a "portable library", i.e., all your media and the files that iTunes uses to organize them.  You can use this in conjunction with any PC running Windows and iTunes (noting limitations regarding your iTunes account and authorizations).  As tt2 suggested in his response, before you go any further:
    Make a backup of your new portable library to another device.
    De-authorize your iTunes account.
    Back up everything else you need to retain from the C: drive of your PC (this is beyond the scope of this forum - there's plenty of help out there on various Microsoft sites, etc.).  Just remember that once you take the plunge and reformat the C: drive anything that you haven't backed up is gone ...
    Once you've reformatted the drive and reinstalled Windows, install iTunes.  As befpre, hold down the SHIFT key when you start it up and select the iTunes Library.itl file on your external drive. You can then re-authorize iTunes and be back in business ...

  • Adobe Bridge in Photoshop - How to install Bridge and camera raw? And what is it all about?

    Hi everyone! I am actually in love with this adobe photoshop. I used PSCS2 before, but later on upgraded to CS4. But I feel tired in upgrading to CS5.
    One time, I found a tutorial in youtube about camera raw, and would really want to use it. But I was wondering how to install the camera raw. I believe camera raw is a plugin? so I downloaded the plugin here, installed it in my PS. I downloaded a file Camera Raw.8bi and paste it on my C drive - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS4\Plug-ins\File Formats.
    I now am very confused, how will I open it? I do not have adobe bridge!  After I installed the camera raw, I opened my PS. I clicked the file>then browse in bridge. I had an error, it's "error 2 photoshop11 undefined". Which is what I thought, I might have done something wrong with installing it.
    My question is, do you still need adobe bridge installed in order to use camera raw?
    If yes, how does it work? How am I suppose to open camera raw?
    If no, how am I going to open camera raw without bridge?
    And also, where will I download adobe bridge? I cannot find one here for CS4, only adobe bridge for CS5. I am wondering, is it okay to install adobe bridge CS5 and use it with my PS CS4?
    I badly need help!

    WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is a set of extensions to HTTP/1.1.
    The main difference from FTP as far as I can see is that it allows you to edit documents on a remote web server.
    WebDAV was used by the Apple server - MobileMe but is not generally supported by hosting services.
    Using WebDAV you can mount a directory locally. This was how iDisk worked on your Mac and you could drag files onto it to upload them to the remote directory.
    With WebDAV, a number of users can share a directory which is why its used in local networks but presents security problems when using a remote server.
    If you are into file sharing rather than publishing, Dropbox or its new rival SugarSync are more appropriate.

  • Black window bugs and lockups and crashes and WHAT'S WRONG?

    First, I thought the problem was that my employer still uses Windows XP, with layers of custom security on top. But it happens at home, on my vanilla XP netbook.
    So then I thought the problem was XP, which is, after all, obsolete. But now it is happening on my brand-new week-old laptop running 64 bit Windows 7 professional.
    These are the problems:
    (1) When recovering from sleep mode, or when I plug in a second screen, or even just from having the screen closed briefly, Firefox fails to redraw its window contents. I just get a black, empty window until I resize it or force a refresh. NO OTHER PROGRAM I USE HAS THIS PROBLEM.
    (2) Sometime Firefox fails to redraw no matter what I do. I just had a totally black window, and when I clicked on the close box, a msgbox popped up, totally black inside, with a title like, "Are you sure you want to close?" I couldn't even see the "yes" and "No" buttons, and clicking where they usually are didn't work. I finally got it to close by hitting the enter key.
    (3) Sometimes these problems are accompanied by a little vestigial micro-window, which has no contents, no close button, and no resize control. It's this nothing window with no title, but the title bar is long enough for maybe 20 characters. The most recent time this happened to me, the nothing window had a blinking text cursor inside, but typing had no effect. The only way to get rid of the micro-window is to close every single instance of Firefox, and then wait about 20 seconds. Then it disappears on its own. Sometimes it appears on its own without the black screen problem.
    (4) All my favicons disappeared when I updated Firefox on my XP work computer, and they refuse to come back, even when I revisit the websites.
    The computers involved are:
    Dell E4200 running Win XP Pro
    Acer One netbook running Win XP Home
    Vostro 3350 running Win 7 Pro
    All 3 computers are running Norton Security Suite (The E4200 is running an Enterprise custom load, the other two are running Comcast's free version)
    And all 3 computers have been connected to a Displaylink USB video adapter (for a 3rd screen) at some point or another, meaning that the driver is loaded on all the computers, but the above problems occur without any external monitor at all connected.
    Everything else is pretty vanilla.
    I'm getting these issues every other day or so, and it is really starting to annoy me and make me worried that Firefox is unstable, with makes me worried that any unsaved work or even my hard drive data might be at risk.

    Try to disable hardware acceleration.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
