What is the use of "#ec *  in a abap program

Hi,
i want to know that is the use of "#ec *  in an abap program.
i heard that it is used to supress the warning messages which we get when we do extended syntax check.
fist of all i want to know is it true r false and if its true then i want to know more about it.
regards,
maqsood

Hi
Yes it's true.
If you put "#ec * at the end of a abap code row, you can suppress the warnining messages of extended program check.
Every kind of warning has own sign, you find out them while running extended check.
It's a way to clear the useless messages.
For example, you have created an include where you have defined several routines you have to use in several programs, but every program don't use all routines of that include, or you dynamically call those routines, so if you run the extend check for a certain program you can get a warning like that:
FORM PLUTO not called directly
Now you can't delete the routine from the include, because it can be used by other program, but you can hide that message by "#ec CALLED:
FORM <MY_FORM>. "#EC CALLED
ENDFORM.

  • What is the use of GUI status in Dialog programming

    what is the use of GUI status in Dialog programming,, how can it be used there,, as screen are alredy defined..

    Hi,
    The use of GUI Status is that when we have to change some thing in Menu Bar, Toolbar and Function Keys. Say For Example we have to create any Custom Button in the application toolbar etc.
    It can be used in Dialog Programming via defining the Status in the PBO module of the screen.
    eq. created a screen 9000
              on clicking it->
                                   PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
                                             MODULE status_9000.
    On double clicking on this "Module status_9000" - you can write "SET PF-STATUS 'STATUS_9000'".
    Now u can create GUI staus with name "'STATUS_9000'".
    Let me know in case you have any further doubts.
    Thanks

  • What is the use P type variable in ABAP?

    ex:
    data <variable name > type p decimals 2.
    here what is the use of declaring it to p type.
    what is the difference between p type and float type.

    Hi,
    using packed variable we can decide the length of number and  number of decimals we want in o/p which is not possible with other types
    Packed numbers - type P
    Type P data allows digits after the decimal point. The number of decimal places is generic, and is determined in the program. The value range of type P data depends on its size and the number of digits after the decimal point. The valid size can be any value from 1 to 16 bytes. Two decimal digits are packed into one byte, while the last byte contains one digit and the sign. Up to 14 digits are allowed after the decimal point. The initial value is zero. When working with type P data, it is a good idea to set the program attribute Fixed point arithmetic.Otherwise, type P numbers are treated as integers.
    You can use type P data for such values as distances, weights, amounts of money, and so on.
    Floating point numbers - type F
    The value range of type F numbers is 1x10*-307 to 1x10*308 for positive and negative numbers, including 0 (zero). The accuracy range is approximately 15 decimals, depending on the floating point arithmetic of the hardware platform. Since type F data is internally converted to a binary system, rounding errors can occur. Although the ABAP processor tries to minimize these effects, you should not use type F data if high accuracy is required. Instead, use type P data.
    You use type F fields when you need to cope with very large value ranges and rounding errors are not critical.
    Using I and F fields for calculations is quicker than using P fields. Arithmetic operations using I and F fields are very similar to the actual machine code operations, while P fields require more support from the software. Nevertheless, you have to use type P data to meet accuracy or value range requirements.

  • What is the use of Custom Controller in ABAP WebDynpro?

    Hi,
    Can you explain me about Custom Controller and its uses and some example on it?
    I have gone through SAP help but not understand clearly. Wish to see some good explanation here?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Meera.

    In addition to above,
    1. Custom controller can acts as "Config Controller"
    2. it is bit different than component controller in the manner that Hook methods will be different here ( only two ) and
    these methods will not participate in the phase model unless there is a method call of custom controller as opposed to component controller which always participate in the phase model.
    someone please correct me for the last statment if i am wrong.

  • What is the use of this form?

    Hi all,
    What is the use of this form in include RV61B901?
    How does this code send any information to the program calling it? Is Sy-subrc global so that main program will know the reuslts?
    Code:
    FORM KOBED_901.
      DATA : l_anzpk LIKE likp-anzpk.
      SELECT SINGLE anzpk FROM likp
                          INTO l_anzpk
                          WHERE vbeln = komkbv2-vbeln.
      IF l_anzpk NE 0.
        sy-subrc = 4.
        exit.
      ENDIF.
      sy-subrc = 0.
    ENDFORM.
    Thanks,

    Hello,
    This form sets the value of sy-subrc(which is global) based
    on the value of l_anzpk.

  • What is the use of additon in up to 1 rows in SELECT statement

    Hi All,
             What is the use of up to 1 rows in select statement.
    for example
    SELECT kostl
          FROM pa0001
          INTO y_lv_kostl UP TO 1 ROWS
          WHERE pernr EQ pernr
          AND endda GE sy-datum.
        ENDSELECT.
    I'm unable to get in wat situations we hav to add up to 1 rows
    please help me out...
    Thanks,
    santosh.

    Hi,
    Use "select up to 1 rows" only if you are sure that all the records returned will have the same value for the field(s) you are interested in. If not, you will be reading only the first record which matches the criteria, but may be the second or the third record has the value you are looking for.
    The System test result showed that the variant Single * takes less time than Up to 1 rows as there is an additional level for COUNT STOP KEY for SELECT ENDSELECT UP TO 1 ROWS.
    The 'SELECT .... UP TO 1 ROWS' statement is subtly different. The database selects all of the relevant records that are defined by the WHERE clause, applies any aggregate, ordering or grouping functions to them and then returns the first record of the result set.

  • What is the use of Alternative Calculation Type =2 and 4

    Dear Friends
    In pricing procedure in gross value, Net value for Item and Net value has Alternative calucation type is 2.
    What is the use of it?
    Without using it these value line are also fetching net value then what is the work of it. Please give me detail information with its effects in pricing condition tab page in sales document.
    Thanking You
    Arun

    Arun biswal,
    Correct Biswal. We have at varoius stages within Pricing procedure the "net value" which is calculated. Not only the alternative calculation type "2" is used if you notice carefully they are stored as subtotals at various levels.
    For Ex Gross Value  --> Subtotal =1 --> Calc type = 2
    similarly for Net value for Item --> Subtotal =2 --> Calc type = 2
    Net value 2 --> Subtotal =3 --> Calc type = 2
    See, these are used to calculate the net value at various levels in pricing. The calculation Type has got a set of routines that will facilitate us in pricing. SAP has provided certain clauclated formulas or routines to facilitate us during calculation within pricing . Here the "2" is used for calculation without tax and store it as subtotal and display it or use it for further calculations.
    We can use this "netvalue" amount for further calculations. It is used for clarity purpose when you issue a statement to customer. (like Confirmation order) at various levels like discount amt involved, Freight involved, Rebate amount invloved.....
    Even without this Calc type or using sub total u can proceed....
    Finally we have  TOTAL  --> Subtotal =A --> Calc type = 4
    In the above line we have Calc type as 4, which means when you use TAX this calc type is used .
    Routines are used to facilitate your process....

    Hi Friends,
    Could anybody tell me what is the use of Packet dimension in Virtual cube with services , It cannot contain data persistently ,Just fetch at runtime,Then there is no Physical load happening,Then why it should be automatically created for this??

    Hi Maik,
    Unit dimension will not be created automatically until and unless you have keyfigure referning units..
    But my question is : Why should we have data pack dimension , which is useless in this case of Virtual cube with services.It should not be created automatically!! What do you say??

  • What is the use of Withholding tax identification number field?

    Hello SAP Experts,
    I posted this question earlier but had to close because of no replies from anybody. Posting it again to see if I am lucky to get some answer this time.
    Can someone tell what is the use of field Withholding Tax Identification Number? Does it help with the reporting? Where does it get populated on the report if given at vendor or master record or within the withholding tax customization for company code? What is the difference between creating it in the customization for withholding tax information for company code and vendor/customer master record?
    As per SAP:  Withholding tax identification number
    This is a number issued by the tax authorities per withholding tax type.
    This number must be specified in Customizing either:
    (a) As part of the withholding tax information defined for the company code, or
    (b) As part of the withholding tax information defined in the customer or vendor master record.

    Hi Pete,
    The only thing that I could check is the content used in US:
    See content of this field for US:
    LFA1-STCD1      Social security number
    LFA1-STCD2      Employer identification number
    LFBW-WT_WTSTCD  Withholding tax identification number for WT Type
    In order to populate it, please kindly check the following:
    The reason why you cannot fill in the field WT_WTSTCD in transaction
    Fk02 however you can do it in XK02 (Change vendor centrally) can be due
    to wrong customizing of the field status group.
    Kindly check the following:
    SPRO->
    Finantial accounting -> Accounts receivable and accounts payable ->
    Define screen layout per activity (vendors) -> Change Vendor(Accounting)
    Company code data -> W/holding tax data, w/h tax 2 ->
    FIELD Withholding tax code,w/h tax 2 will be probably just available to
    display. Please, change it to optional entry.
    I hope I could be of assistance.
    Kind Regards,

  • What is the use of HTTPS 8181 port

    Hi,
    I am wondering what is the use of the port 8181 on the EE5 application server.
    the second question. Why the application server open so many port on the same local machine. I agree that for security raison it is a good idea. But does application serveur use tcp connection to communicate between the server thread ?
    So it is possible to add a thread in the serveur application to process some internal work. And of course it is possible to include this new thread in the communication process of the server ?
    Can we have the map of all the tcp trhead use by the server application.
    Regards
    Herve Terrolle.

    Your app has to run as root to listen on ports up to 1024,
    also, some other app (apache?) may already be listening on port 443.
    AFAICT port 8181 is just arbitrarily chosen, it might as well have been port 4430, or any other free port above 1024.

    If you read the documentation you will see that there is no ALTER DATABASE CLOSE command.
    This is an undocumented Oracle command, which we are not supposed to use. Consequently we are not allowed to complain about the way that it works. Instead we're supposed to use SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE.

    End Routine
    An end routine is a routine with a table in the target structure format as input and output parameters. You can use an end routine to postprocess data after transformation on a package-by-package basis. For example, you can delete records that are not to be updated, or perform data checks.
    If the target of the transformation is a DataStore object, key figures are updated by default with the aggregation behavior Overwrite (MOVE). You have to use a dummy rule to override this.
    hope this helps.
