What is the use of flag in CallTransaction?

what is the use of flag in CallTransaction?

Sunil,
Generally a flag is used to know whether a particular thing is validated or not.I mean
if a = b
c_flag = x.
Then depending on whether the flag is set or not you can write what action needs to be taken.

What is the use of initial value in a database table?

Hi can anyone help me in knowing what is the use of initial value which is present besides primary key while creating a table?

Initial Value:
Indicator that NOT NULL is forced for this field
Use
Select this flag if a field to be inserted in the database is to be filled with initial values. The initial value used depends on the data type of the field.
Please note that fields in the database for which the this flag is not set can also be filled with initial values.
When you create a table, all fields of the table can be defined as NOT NULL and filled with an initial value. The same applies when converting the table. Only when new fields are added or inserted, are these filled with initial values. An exception is key fields. These are always filled automatically with initial values.
Restrictions and notes:
The initial value cannot be set for fields of data types LCHR, LRAW, and RAW. If the field length is greater than 32, the initial flag cannot be set for fields of data type NUMC.
If a new field is inserted in the table and the initial flag is set, the complete table is scanned on activation and an UPDATE is made to the new field. This can be very time-consuming.
If the initial flag is set for an included structure, this means that the attributes from the structure are transferred. That is, exactly those fields which are marked as initial in the definition have this attribute in the table as well.
hope it helps,
Saipriya

What is the use of keyword SCAN ABAP-SOURCE

Hello experts,
what is the use of scan abap-source. please explain. what is tokens, statements, levels in that.

Hi
SCAN
This statement is for internal use only.
It cannot be used in application programs.
SCAN ABAP-SOURCE itab1 ...TOKENS INTO itab2
 ...STATEMENTS INTO itab3.
Parts marked with " ..." are interchangeable
Addition 1
... FROM n1
Addition 2
... TO n2
Breaks down the source code table itab1 into tokens not from start to finish, but only from line n1 to line n2.
The additions FROM n1 and TO n2 must, in this order, follow the specification of the source code table itab1.
When using the start specification n1, use the addition WITHOUT TRMAC to ensure that there are no unnecessary database accesses to the table TRMAC.
The end specification n2 is treated as "soft", i.e. a statement that begins on a line <= n2, but ends only on a line > n2, is returned completely.
If the end specification n2 is split in a chain statement, only the split part up to the next comma is returned completely, not the entire chain statement up to the next period.
Negative line specifications are not allowed and result in a runtime error.
A line specification of 0 amounts essentially to no specification.
If n1 number of lines in source code table, the scanner is not called (SY-SUBRC = 2).
If n1 > n2 and n2 > 0, the scanner is not called (SY-SUBRC = 2).

Addition 3
... KEYWORDS FROM itab4
Does not return all statements, only those specified in the key word table itab4.
If the key word table is empty (i.e. it contains 0 lines), all the statements are selected.
The lines of the key word table are treated as a character field.
To select a Native-SQL-statement or a macro definition, you can specify the pseudo key words EXEC_SQL or DEFINE_MACRO. It makes no difference whether the statements EXEC or DEFINE occur as well. Native SQL statements and macro definitions are returned as one statement (of type E or M even if the expansion of a macro definition results in more than one statement.
If the key word table contains a blank line, blank statements are also selected.
Addition 4
... LEVELS INTO itab5
Stores details about each edited source code unit (source code table itab1 itself, expanded include-programs, expanded macro definitions) in the level table itab5.
Specification of a level table makes sense only with the addition WITH INCLUDES.
The level table itab5 must have the structure SLEVEL.
The fields of the structure SLEVEL - and consequently the columns of the level table itab5 have the following meaning:
TYPE
Type of source code unit with the following possible values:
P (Program)
D (Internal DEFINE macro)
R (Macro from table TRMAC)
NAME
Name of source code unit (name of include program, macro name)
DEPTH
Current nesting depth of source code unit (>= 1)
LEVEL
Index of superior (i.e. including or calling) source code unit in the level table (>= 1, if DEPTH >= 2, otherwise 0)
STMNT
Index of superior (i.e. including or calling) statement in the statement table (>= 1, if DEPTH >= 2, otherwise 0)
FROM
Index of first statement of source code unit in the statement table (>= 1)
TO
Index of last statement of source code unit in the statement table (>= 1)
If the source code unit contains include programs or macro calls, the line range [ FROM, TO] in the statement table also covers the statements in subordinate source code units.
Addition 5
... STRUCTURES INTO itab6
Details of the construction of the source text table are given in the structure table itab6.
The structure table itab6 must have the structure SSTRUC.
The fields in SSTRUC (which are also the columns of structure table itab6) have the following meanings:
TYPE
Type of the structure with possible values:
P (Beginning of the source code)
R (Subroutine)
M (Macro, EXEC SQL)
I (Loop)
A (Case distinction)
C (Condition in a case distinction)
J (Goto command)
D (Structured declaration)
E (Event)
S (Follow-on from simple structured statement)
STMNT_TYPE
The statement type of the beginning of the structure. The values are listed in the type pool SCAN in structure SCAN_STRUC_STMNT_TYPE.
KEY_START
Flags whether the start of the structure is described semantically ('X' if there is a special statement, otherwise ' ').
KEY_END
Flags whether the end of the structure is described semantically ('X' if there is a special statement, otherwise blank).
STMNT_FROM
Index of the first statement of the structure in the statement table itab3.
STMNT_TO
Index of the last statement of the structure in the statement table itab3.
Index of the first substructure of the structure in structure table itab6.
STRUC_TO
Index of the last substructure of the structure in structure table itab6.
BACK
Index of the structure in the structure table itab6 that contains the structure as a substructure (0 if the structure is the root structure of a structure tree).
Addition 6
... OVERFLOW INTO c1
The addition is only allowed and required if the token table itab2 has the structure STOKEN or STOKEX.
If a token is too large to be stored in the token table in the field STR, it is placed in the overflow area c1. The offset of the token in the overflow area then lies in the token table in the field OFF1.
Addition 7
... WITH ANALYSIS
Breaks down each token t = a+b(c) according to the logic of the RSYN key word >ANALY into its three components a, b and c.
Offset and length of components a, b and c are stored in the fields LEN1, OFF2, LEN2, OFF3, and LEN3 in the token table. (The offset of OFF1 is always 0 and therefore not required.)
If you specify the addition WITH ANALYSIS, the token table itab2 must have the structure STOKESX, so that the fields LEN1, OFF2, LEN2, OFF3 and LEN3 are available.
If the token table has the structure STOKEX, you must consider the following:
If the whole token exists in the token table, the offset specifications are relative to the token start. If the token is in the overflow area c1, the offset specifications are relative to the start of the overflow area.
Addition 8
... WITH COMMENTS
Returns comments also, with each individual comment representing a token. The system additionally stores entries for each full block of comments in the table itab3, differentiating between comments that occur within statements and those that occur at program level. In itab3, an entry for a comment within a statement always comes before the statement containing the comment.
Example
Look at the following program fragment. The preceding numbers are the indexes of the tokens.
1 * An example *
2 * with scattered comments
6 MOVE
3 * Inserted comment 1
7 X
4 * Inserted comment 2
8 TO
9 Y
5 * Inserted comment 3
SCAN then enters the following values for the components TYPE, FROM and TO (in this order from left to right) into itab3.
'P' 1 2
'S' 3 5
'K' 6 9
If the addition ... WITH COMMENTS is used, the table itab2 must have the line type STOKES or STOKESX.
Addition 9
... WITH INCLUDES
Also breaks down subordinate source code units (included programs, called macros) into tokens.
You should normally combine the addition WITH INCLUDES with the addition LEVELS INTO itab5.
If (at least) one included program does not exist, SY-SUBRC is set to 1 and the relevant INCLUDE statement is flagged in the statement table itab3 by the statement type J (instead of I), but the breakdown process continues. The level table itab5 contains no entry for include-programs that do not exist.
If you combine WITH INCLUDES with WITHOUT TRMAC , TRMAC-Macros are not expanded because the system does not recognize them as subordinate source code units.
When macro calls are expanded, no position specifications are available. The corresponding fields in the token table itab2 and the statement table itab3 are then set to 0.
Addition 10
... WITH TYPE-POOLS
This addition has the same effect as the WITH INCLUDES addition, except that with the former include programs belonging to type groups are broken down into tokens.
Addition 11
.. WITH LIST TOKENIZATION
Tokens of the form (a1, a2, a3) are not returned as tokens but broken down into the elementary components.
Addition 12
... WITHOUT TRMAC
If a statement begins neither with an ABAP/4 key word nor with a DEFINE macro, the system does not check whether this is a TRMAC macro, but assumes an unknown statement. (Unknown statements are flagged in the statement table itab3 with a U in the field TYPE.)
To avoid unnecessary database accesses to the table TRMAC, you should use the addition WITHOUT TRMAC whenever you assume that the source code to be scanned contains unknown statements. Unknown statements are particularly likely to occur if you use the addition FROM n1, because the scanner does not start at the beginning of the source code, but from a specified point.
If you use WITHOUT TRMAC with WITH INCLUDES, TRMAC macros are not expanded because the system does not recognize them as subordinate source code units.
Addition 13
... PROGRAM FROM c2
Addition 14
... INCLUDE INTO c3
Addition 15
... MESSAGE INTO c4
Addition 16
... WORD INTO c5
Addition 17
... LINE INTO n3
Addition 18
... OFFSET INTO n4
The above additions have the same meaning as those for the
SYNTAX-CHECK: statement: c2 is an input field for a program name to be assigned to the source code, while the fields c3, c4, c5, n3 and n4 are output fields in case an error occurs.
To be able to analyze errors without modifying programs, use the additions INCLUDE, MESSAGE, WORD, LINE and OFFSET. These provide information about the errors which have occurred.
Variant 2
SCAN AND CHECK ABAP-SOURCE itab1 ...RESULT INTO itab2.
Parts marked with " ..." are interchangeable
Extras:
1. ... PROGRAM FROM c1 2. ... INCLUDE INTO c2
3. ... MESSAGE INTO c3
4. ... WORD INTO c4
5. ... LINE INTO n1
6. ... OFFSET INTO n2
The syntax of the program in table itab1 is checked. During the check, all of the information from the program, such as statement structures, statements, tokens, data objects, types and do on are placed into the result field. This field must have the type SYSCH_RESULT, which is defined in type group SYSCH. You must therefore declare type group SYSCH in your ABAP-program using a TYPE-POOLS statement.
&ABAP_ADDITION _1&
... PROGRAM FROM c1
&ABAP_ADDITION _2&
... INCLUDE INTO c1
&ABAP_ADDITION _3&
... MESSAGE INTO c3
&ABAP_ADDITION _4&
... WORD INTO c4
&ABAP_ADDITION _5&
... LINE INTO n1
&ABAP_ADDITION _6&
... OFFSET INTO n2
The above additions have the same effect as the corresponding additions in the statement SYNTAX-CHECK: c1 is an input field for a program name to be assigned to the source code, the fields c2, c3, c4, n1 and n2 are output fields, used when errors occur.
To enable you to analyze errors without having to modify the program, you should specify the INCLUDE, MESSAGE, WORD, LINE and OFFSET additions for the information about the error that occurred.

What is the use of change pointer technique in IDOC

hi
could anybody suggest me
what is the use of change pointer technique and how to use it
thank you
kalyan.

Change pointers are used for changes to the master data objects are flagged for distribution by SMD Tool.i.e.shared Master Data.
You need change pointers to distribute changes with the ALE SMD tool. If you do not use this tool, you do not need to write change pointers.
You can deactivate change pointers and activate them again with the transaction BD61
The SMD tool is connected to the change document interface. If the master data changes are to be distributed, the application writes a change document. The contents of this are passed to the SMD tool. The tool writes change pointers, reads the application data and creates the master IDoc.
The master IDoc is then passed to the ALE layer, which sends it to all interested systems.
The change pointer tables (BDCP und BDCPS) should be as small as possible. Use as few change pointers as possible and delete change pointers which you no longer need.
You can increase the rate of processing by using the Analyze Change Pointer and Reorganize Change Pointer functions.

WHAT IS THE USE OF COPY/MATCH OPTION IN BUISNESS CONTENT

WHAT IS THE USE OF COPY/MATCH OPTION IN BUISNESS CONTENT GIVE DETAILS

Hi,
Match (X) or Copy
If the SAP delivery version and the active version can be matched, a checkbox is displayed in this column.
With the most important object types, the active version and the SAP delivery version can be matched.
From a technical point of view, the SAP delivery version (D version) is matched with the M version. As in most cases the M version is identical to the active version (A version) in a customer system, this is referred to as a match between the D and A versions for reasons of simplification.
When a match is performed, particular properties of the object are compared in the A version and the D version. First it has to be decided whether these properties can be matched automatically or whether this has to be done manually. A match can be performed automatically for properties if you can be sure that the object is to be used in the same way as before it was transferred from Business Content. When performing matches manually you have to decide whether the characteristics of a property from the active version are to be retained, or whether the characteristics are to be transferred from the delivery version.
Example of an automatic match
Additional customer-specific attributes have been added to an InfoObject in the A version. In the D version, two additional attributes have been delivered by SAP that do not contain the customer-specific attributes. In order to be able to use the additional attributes, the delivery version has to be installed from Business Content again. At the same time, the customer-specific attributes are to be retained. In this case, you have to set the indicator (X) in the checkbox. After installing the Business Content, the additional attributes are available and the customer-specific enhancements have been retained automatically. However, if you have not checked the match field, the customer-specific enhancements in the A version are lost.
Example of a manual match
An InfoObject has a different text in the A version than in the D version. In this case the two versions have to be matched manually. When Business Content is installed, a details screen appears which asks you to specify whether the text should be transferred from the active version or from the D version.
The Match indicator is set as default in order to prevent the customer version being unintentionally overwritten. If the Content of the SAP delivery version is to be matched to the active version, you have to set the Install indicator separately.
The active version is overwritten with the delivery version if
¡        the match indicator is not set and
¡        the install indicator is set.
In other words, the delivery version is copied to the active version.
If the Install indicator is not set, the object is not copied or matched. In this case, the Match indicator has no effect.
In the context menu, two options are available:
                            a.      Merge All Below
The object in the selected hierarchy level and all objects in the lower levels of the hierarchy are selected as to Match.
                            b.      Copy All Below
The Match indicators are removed for the object in the selected hierarchy level and all objects in the lower levels of the hierarchy. If the Install indicator is also set, these objects are copied from the delivery version to the active version.
The most important properties which are taken into account when versions are matched are now listed.
When referring to InfoObjects it is important to differentiate between:
§         Characteristics
§         Time characteristics
§         Key figures and
§         Units
Valid for All InfoObjects Named Above:

·        Texts are language-dependent (flag)
·        Short, medium and long texts exist (each with flag)
·        Default currency
·        GIS attribute
·        Hierarchies exist (flag)
Valid for Key Figures
Properties Matched Automatically:
Properties Matched Manually:
·        Type of key figure
·        Fixed unit
·        Fixed currency
·        Aggregation
·        Exception aggregation
Valid for Units
Properties Matched Automatically:
Properties Matched Manually:
·        See the table above (Valid for Characteristics), if these properties are also relevant for the units.
When referring to InfoProviders it is important to differentiate between:
¡        MultiProviders
¡        InfoCubes
¡        ODS Objects and
¡        InfoObjects
InfoObjects are discussed above (see the first table Valid for All Objects Named Above).
Valid for All InfoProviders Named Above:
Properties Matched Automatically:
Properties Matched Manually:
·        New InfoObjects
If InfoObjects in the delivery version do not yet exist in the active version, they are transferred.
·        Manual matching is not necessary.
Valid for MultiProviders
Properties Matched Automatically:
Properties Matched Manually:
·        New InfoProviders
If InfoProviders in the delivery version do not yet exist in the active version, they are transferred.
·        Manual matching is not necessary.
Valid for InfoCubes
Properties Matched Automatically:
Properties Matched Manually:
·        New dimensions
If dimensions in the delivery version do not yet exist in the active version, they are transferred.
·        Manual matching is not necessary.
With the InfoObject catalog object type, InfoObjects that are assigned to a catalog in the delivery version are transferred to the active version automatically. Manual matching is not necessary.
With the transfer rule object type, those objects that exist in the delivery version but are not yet contained in the active version (for example, additional attributes) are added automatically when the match is performed. Manual matching is not necessary.
With the process chain object type, those objects that exist in the delivery version but are not yet contained in the active version (for example, additional objects in the process chain) are added automatically when the match is performed. Manual matching is not necessary.
·        Active Version Available
In this column, the following display options are available:
¡        : The object is available in an active version. You decide whether you want to retain this version or reinstall the latest version of the object.
¡        Date symbol: The object is already available in an active version. However, the active version belongs to an older Content release. SAP recommends that you install the latest version.
¡        Gray symbol: An activated version of the object is available in the system. However, the object status is inactive. If an object version is activated, this indicates that all metadata for the object can be created successfully. The inactive object status indicates that the processed object is inconsistent and cannot currently be used for processing data. Transfer the object again from the SAP delivery version (D version). If this is not enough to change the object status from inactive to active the object has to be postprocessed. You find notes on postprocessing in the activation log.
Postprocessing: An inactive object status may also occur for an InfoObject if changes are made to the structure at field level. Postprocessing the object involves converting the relevant tables in accordance with the activation log.
¡        No indicator: The object is not available in an active version.
7. Make Settings in the Selection List and Install.
Make the required settings in the Install selection list:
Installation Type
Installation Type
Information
Simulate installation
The system runs a test to see whether any errors are likely to occur during the installation. However, not all errors that may occur can be identified during simulation: Some error messages can only be generated when a real A version (and not just a simulation) is available in the system. You should, therefore, only use the simulation function as a rough guide to help you identify and remove basic errors.
Install
The selected objects are installed immediately.
Install in background
The selected objects are installed in the background.
Install and transport
The selected objects are installed immediately and then written to a transport request.
SAP recommends you use the Install in background option because installing a large number of objects can take a long time. Modifying objects that are already active can take an especially long time to complete. Make sure that when you install objects in the background that the versions are not matched. It is always the delivery versions that are installed. These are not matched with any available customer versions.

What is the use of hot key...

what is the use of hotkey in elementary search helps...how to use this in elementary search helps...can anybody send any navigations on these ..

Creating Elementary Search Helps
Procedure
In the initial screen of the ABAP Dictionary, select object class Search help, enter the name of the search help and choose Create.
A dialog box appears in which you must select the type of search help.
Select Elementary search help and choose .
The maintenance screen for elementary search helps appears.
Enter an explanatory text in the field Short text.
You can for example find the search help at a later time using this short text.
In the Definition tab page enter the selection method of the search help.
You can enter the name of a table or a view (database view, projection view or help view) here. If you enter a table that has a text table, the name of the text table is automatically entered in the corresponding field.
Using the input help (F4 help), select fields of the selection method as parameter in the Search help parameter area. Select the fields that should be used in the dialog box for value selection or in the hit list.
If the selection method is a table that has a text table, both the fields of the table and the fields of the text table are offered in the input help.
The data element of the parameter is automatically copied from the selection method. The data element defines the output attributes and the F1 help of the parameter in the hit list and in the dialog box for value selection.
You can assign the parameter another data element. To do so, select the Mod flag. The Data element field is now ready for input. Then select a data element with the input help (F4 help). Only data elements whose data type, length and number of decimal places is the same as those of the previous data element can be assigned.
This removes the link between the data element of the search help parameter and the data element of the selection method field having the same name. If you cancel the Mod flag, the data element of the assigned table field is used again.
Define the attributes of the search help parameters.
Select the IMP flag if it is an import parameter. Select the EXP flag if it is an export parameter.
You can define the dialog for the input help with the fields LPos, SPos and SDis. Enter the parameter position in the hit list in LPos. If you enter nothing or the value 0 here, the parameter is not displayed in the hit list.
Enter the parameter position in the dialog box for value selection in SPos. If you enter nothing or the value 0 here, the parameter is not displayed in the dialog box for value selection.
Set the SDis flag if the parameter should be a pure display field in the dialog box for value selection. The user is thus informed that the contents of the parameter restrict the value, but he cannot change this restriction. This makes sense for example when the parameter is an import parameter or if it has a default value.
You can assign the parameter a default value in the Default value field.
Select the dialog type of the search help.
The dialog type defines how the hit list is displayed in the input help.
Save your entries.
A dialog box appears in which you have to assign the search help a development class.
Choose .
Do not forget to link the search help to a screen field. The search help attachment is not part of the search help definition; it is part of the object definition to which the search help is attached.
Result
The search help is activated. You can find information about the activation flow in the activation log, which you can display with Utilities ® Activation log. If errors occurred during activation, the activation log is automatically displayed.
Other Options
Assign a hot key: If the search help is to be accessed with a hot key, you must enter a one-place ID in the Hot key field. All the elementary search helps contained in a collective search help should have different short cuts.
Assign a search help exit: In exceptions, you might have to change the standard flow defined by the search help with a search help exit. In this case enter the name of the search help exit in the corresponding field.
Test the search help: You can test the flow of an input help defined by the elementary search help with . A dialog box appears in which you can simulate the behavior of the search help under different conditions. You can obtain information about the options provided in this window with .
See also:
Example for Search Helps
Each customer of a carrier (see Flight Model) or of a travel agency has a customer number. You want to find a search option for this customer number.
The user must be offered two different search paths.
The user should be able to search for the customer number using the customer data, such as the name and address.
The user should be able to search for the customer number using existing customer bookings.
You can provide the required search option by creating a collective search help SCUSTOM. Two elementary search helps SCUSTOM_NAME (for searching with the customer data) and SCUSTOM_BOOK (for searching with the existing bookings) are created for the actual search paths. These elementary search helps are included in the collective search help.
Elementary Search Help SCUSTOM_NAME
This elementary search help should enable you to search for the customer number using the name and address (street, city, country). All this data is contained in table SCUSTOM. Table SCUSTOM must therefore be selected as the selection method of the elementary search help.
You now have to decide which fields of the selection method are needed for the input help process. These are the fields that should appear either in the dialog box for restricting values or in the hit list.
In the dialog box for restricting values, the user should be able to restrict values with the customers name and address, i.e. the fields for the street, city and country. These fields as well as the customers number (the information to be found must always be in the hit list) should appear in the hit list. The fields ID, NAME, STREET, CITY and COUNTRY of table SCUSTOM must be included in the search help as parameters.
The parameter ID is declared to be an import parameter. A pattern entered in the corresponding field of a screen template can therefore be used directly for the value selection. Restrictions for the other parameters of the search help must be entered in the dialog box for value selection.
All the parameters of the search help are declared to be export parameters. As a result, all the parameters of the hit list can be returned to the screen template if the corresponding fields are available there.
Elementary Search Help SCUSTOM_BOOK
This elementary search help should enable you to search for the customer number using existing customer bookings. The flight data for the booking (flight number, date of flight, city of departure, city of arrival) and the name of the customer should be used for the search here. This data is distributed on the tables SBOOK (bookings), SCUSTOM (name) and SPFLI (cities of departure and arrival). The following graphic shows the relationship between the relevant tables, that is the existing foreign key relationships.
In this case a database view SCUS_BOOK must be created on these three tables (see Example for Views) as selection method. The tables in the view (join) are linked as defined by the existing foreign key relationships (see Foreign Key Relationship and Join Condition).
In the dialog box for restricting values, the user should be able to restrict the search for booking data with the carrier ID, customer name, city of departure and city of arrival The flight date and of course the customer number should also be displayed in the hit list. Fields CARRID, FLDATE, CUSTOMID, NAME, CITYFROM and CITYTO of view SCUS_BOOK must be included in the elementary search help as parameters of the search help.
The parameter CUSTOMID is declared to be an import parameter. All the parameters of the search help are export parameters.
Collective Search Help SCUSTOM
The two elementary search helps are now included in the collective search help. You must now allocate the parameters of the elementary search helps to the parameters of the collective search help.
The parameter ID of the collective search help is marked as an import parameter. All the parameters are export parameters. The values can thus be copied from the hit list to the screen template.
Attaching the Search Help
In order to be able to use the search help SCUSTOM in screen templates, the attachment of the search help (see Attaching Search Helps with Screen Fields) must be defined.
Attaching to the Check Table SCUSTOM
The search help should be available for all the fields that are checked against table SCUSTOM. The search help therefore must be attached to table SCUSTOM. The search help parameters must therefore be assigned to the key fields of table SCUSTOM.
The parameter ID of search help SCUSTOM is here assigned to the field ID of table SCUSTOM in this field assignment. No assignment is possible for all other parameters of the search help (NAME, CITY and COUNTRY) since table SCUSTOM does not contain this information as key fields.
Attaching to a Field of Table SCUSTOM
In order that the search help is available when the field SCUSTOM-ID is directly copied to the input template, you have to attach the search help to this field.
With this type of attachment, all the parameters of the search help can be assigned to the corresponding fields of the table.
Structure of an Elementary Search Help
An elementary search help defines the standard flow of an input help. You can define the following components of this flow in the search help:
where does the data displayed in the hit list come from (selection method)
what information should be displayed in the dialog box for value selection and in the hit list (search help parameters)
what field contents can be taken into account for hit list selections and which values in the hit list can be returned to the screen fields (search help parameters)
what dialog steps should be executed in the input help (dialog behavior)
Selection Method
The possible input values displayed for a field in the hit list are determined at runtime by database selection.
If all the data required in the hit list comes from one single table, you only have to select this table (or a projection view on this table) as selection method. If there is a text table for the table, its fields are also available in the input help. A table entry is linked with the corresponding text by the existing foreign key.
If the data needed in the hit list comes from more than one table, you must link these tables with a view (database view or help view). This view must be defined as the selection method.
If the underlying tables are client-specific, the client field must be contained in the view. Otherwise selection for the input help would be for all clients.
Search Help Parameters
A search help has an interface consisting of parameters. These parameters define the fields of the selection method that should be used in the input help.
A parameter of the search help must correspond to each field in the dialog box for value selection and to each field of the hit list. The parameters are copied from the corresponding selection method, that is they always have the same name as the corresponding field of the selection method.
If the search is restricted with a parameter of the search help, this is used in the data selection for formulating a WHERE condition for the field of the selection method with the same name. Vice versa, the parameters of the search help are assigned the contents of the fields of the selection method having the same name.
The search help should not contain any parameters for the clients. In the input help, selection is automatically in the logon client of the user.
A data element must be assigned to each search help parameter, that is a type is always defined for the search help parameters.
A search help can contain further parameters that do not correspond to any field of the selection method. This is normally only necessary if the standard flow of the input help described by the search help still has to be modified by with a search help exit.
Import and Export Parameters
When an input help is called, the entries that the user already made in the input template are taken into consideration. For example, if a user calls the input help for the flight number and already specified the carrier, of course only the numbers of flights of this carrier should be offered.
On the other hand, if the user selects one row of the hit list, more than one field of the input template might have to be filled with data from the selected row of the hit list. For example, if the flight number is obtained from the hit list, the city of departure and the destination should also be returned in the screen template.
The interface of a search help defines the context data that can be used in the input help and the data that can be returned in the input template.
A parameter of a search help can be classified as:
Import parameters: Parameters with which context information from the processed input template (screen) may be copied to the help process.
Export parameters: Parameters with which values from the hit list may be returned to the input template.
A parameter can simultaneously be an input and an export parameter. A search help can also contain parameters that are neither import nor export parameters. Such parameters could be required for the internal input help process, for example.
When you attach a search help, you must define where the import parameters of the search help get their values from and the fields in which the contents of the export parameters are returned. See also Value Transport for Input Helps.
Description of the Online Behavior
The online behavior defines the steps executed in the input help process and the structure of the hit list and dialog box for value selection.
The dialog type defines whether or not the dialog box for value selection should be displayed. If you want to skip the dialog box for value selection, the hit list is displayed directly after calling the input help.
When you define an elementary search help, you can define how the dialog box for value selection and the hit list should look. For example, you can define the position of a parameter in the dialog box for value selection here. The column position in which the values of a parameter are displayed in the hit list can also be defined here
Please reward points..

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,
Charles.

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....

Sathya

What is the use of Data packet dim with Virtual cube with services

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??
Message was edited by: Pradeep choudhari

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,
Fernando Evangelista

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.

hi all
i have written the following code in my development system to change the records of my database.
SELECT * FROM zyikostl INTO TABLE itab.
LOOP AT itab INTO wtab.
    tabix = sy-tabix.
    DO.
      READ TABLE itab INTO ktab WITH KEY kostl_alt = wtab-kostl_neu.
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
        wtab-kostl_neu = ktab-kostl_neu.
        MODIFY itab FROM wtab INDEX tabix.
        CONTINUE.
      ELSE.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
    ENDDO.
ENDLOOP.
MODIFY zyikostl FROM TABLE itab.
In the development system i have only few records its working fine,but when it is been moved to test system there are 2500 records in the database so the report is taking much time(more than 5 hours )

WHAT IS THE USE OF 'ALTER DATABASE CLOSE' ?
I need explanation. Why should i shutdown?
Dont give me this answer.
ORA-16196: database has been previously opened and closed
Cause: The instance has already opened and closed the database, which is allowed only once in its lifetime.
Action: Shut down the instance.

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.
