1. What is ABAP?

Ans: Advanced Business Application in Data Processing

2. How Many Modules supported by ABAP.

Ans: Mostly All (SD, MM, PP, QM, HR.....etc)

3. How many Objects types in ABAP.

Ans: Called AS RICEF Objects type is Reports, Interfaces, Conversation, Forms, Enhancements.

4. How to create client independent tables?

Ans: The table in which the first field is not mandt then it is called as client independent tables and
mandt is the field with mandt as the data element. Automatically client which we login is populated
to mandt.

5. What is the difference between Type and Like?

TYPE, you assign data type directly to the data object while declaring.
LIKE, you assign the data type of another object to the declaring data object. The data type is
referenced indirectly.

6. What is the difference between synchronous and asynchronous update?

In synchronous updated the parent table is updated along with the child tables and then a sy-subrc is
returned. 0 for successful and 4 or 8 for not successful.

While in asynchronous updating after the updation of the parent table we get a sy-subrc return. The
system is not bothered if the child tables are updated or not.

7. What is bdcmsgcoll and how it works with call transaction method?

BDCMSGCOLL is a structure available in the abap dictionary. We use this structure to handle all
errors in call transaction. We need to declare an internal table like bdcmsgcoll. When a database
table is updated we get some messages like successful, or not successful or successful with some
warning message.

All these messages pass through this structure. We can capture them using a function module called
FORMAT_MESSAGE.

8. What is BDC recording?

In BDC recording you record the transaction through which you want to upload data. This tool will
create a program for you and you don't need to create the program manually. You can code both call
transaction and session method using this tool.

9. Which table stores the Programs created?

TRDIR - Generierte Tabelle zu einem View

10. How can we compare two programs? SE30

11. Describe data classes.
Master data: It is the data which is seldom changed.
Transaction data: It is the data which is often changed.
Organization data: It is a customizing data which is entered in the system when the system is
configured and is then rarely changed. System data: It is the data which R/3 system needs for itself.

12. What is foreign key relationship?

A relationship which can be defined between tables and must be explicitly defined at field level.
Foreign keys are used to ensure the consistency of data.

13. The following statements will clear the header-line of an internal table:
Ans: CLEAR ITAB.

14. When the AT-SELECTION-SCREEN event is triggered.

If ENTER key is hit on the selection-screen & F8 key is hit on the selection-screen

15. The statement used to clear all the contents of an internal table is.
REFRESH itab & FREE itab.

16. When in an ABAP program, the INITIALIZATION event is invoked

Before the AT-SELECTION-SCREEN event.

17. In a BDC program, how would you handle errored records? Would you…
c) Generate a batch-input session with errored records

18. The transaction CMOD and SMOD are

a) Used to create enhancements to standard SAP programs.
c) Used to create the user exits, menu exits and screen exits.

19. To output SAPscript layout sets, in the print program

a) You must always start the output with OPEN_FORM and end it with CLOSE_FORM.
c) WRITE_FORM should be used within an OPEN_FORM and CLOSE_FORM.

2
20. A database commit is triggered by
a) ABAP/4 command COMMIT WORK or BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT.

21. What are field symbols?

a) Field symbols are like pointers in C that can point to any data object in ABAP/4
d) All operations you have programmed with the field symbol are carried out with the assigned field.

22. READ TABLE ITAB_TEST WITH KEY VBELN = k_vbeln.

If multiple records in table ITAB satisfy the condition, then
c) The first record is fetched

23. The fastest way to read a value in an internal table is to:

31. When is Top-of-page event executed

b) When the First Write Statement of the program is encountered.

c) Before outputting the first line on a new page.

32. TOP-OF-PAGE
This is called when a new page is started with an ABAP list and is used to display a header for
the list.

33. TOP-OF-PAGE During LINE_SELECTION

If you use the 'DURING LINE-SELECTION' addition this event is also triggered when creating
detailed lists.

34. END-OF-PAGE

This is displayed at the end of each page if there is a line reservation in the addition LINE-COUNT of
the initiating statement for a page footer.
REPORT demo_rep NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING LINE-COUNT 0(1).

35. START-OF-SELECTION

This is the first event after all screen selection processing has been completed. If no other
events are declared then there is no need to manually code this event as all processing
statements will be automatically assigned to an implicit START-OF-SELECTION block. It is a
good ideal to put it in though as it separates the code and makes it easier to read. Generally
you would put all your data selection ABAP code within this event.

END-OF-SELECTION

If your report is linked to a logical database this event is called after the logical database has
completely finished its work. Otherwise this event is trigged after the START-OF-SELECTION
event so you would generally use it to processes the data retrieved in that event.

36. AT SELECTION SCREEN OUTPUT

This is called just before the selection screen is displayed and can be used to manipulate the
actual selection screen attributes using the loop at screen functionality. This allows you to do
things like hide fields, grey them out so they are output only or make them intensified etc.
LOOP AT SCREEN.
IF SCREEN-name = 'P_FIELd1'.
SCREEN-INTENSIFIED = '1'.
MODIFY SCREEN.
CONTINUE.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.

4
37. INITIALIZATION

Called after the abap selection screen code has been processed (i.e. parameters, select-options etc)
but before these are displayed to the user. So you can use it to initialize input fields of the selection
screen or change the default values of these before the user gets to enter data into them.

38. LOAD-OF-PROGRAM

First event to be called before any of the other ABAP code is processed.

39. Events in Classical Reports

-Load-of-program
This event is used to load program into memory for execution and this is the first event in
execution sequence.
Initialization
This event is used to initialize variables, screen default values and other default actions.
-At Selection-Screen output
By using this event we can manipulate dynamic selection-screen changes.
-At Selection-Screen on field
At Selection-Screen
-End-of-Selection
-Top-of-Page
-End-of-Page

This event occurs after the runtime environment has passed all input data from the selection screen
to the ABAP program.

2. at selection-screen output :

- Triggered in PBO of selection-screen.

- This allows you to modify the Selection-screen, before it is displayed.

3. at selection-screen block:
- PAI Event

4. at selection-screen on value-request :

51. Append Structure:

6
Append structures are used for enhancements that are not included in the standard.An append
structure is a structure that is assigned to exactly one table or structure.The following enhancements
can be made to a table or structure TAB with an append structure:
· Insert new fields in TAB,
· Define foreign keys for fields of TAB that already exist,
· Attach search helps to fields of TAB that already exist,

52. Include Structure:

We cannot include structure to Standard Table. It can be inserted anywhere in the Table. we can use
include structure in more than one table.

53. Transaction SPDD:

This is for data dictionary corrections. If any standard tables have been modified, then that object
appears in the list and you have to adjust it again after comparing the versions.

54. Transaction SPAU:

This is for repository objects (programs, screens, functions, classes, etc.). These have to be compared
to the previous versions too and any missing modified code is too re-inserted. SPAU comes after the
downtime phase of upgrade and is carried in normal client.

55. Data Class:

This is nothing but physical area of database tables which is assigned to data class for storage
purpose. Following are the types of data classes.
APPL0- Master data (data frequently accessed but rarely updated).
APPL1- Transaction data (data that is changed frequently).
APPL2- Organizational data (customizing data that is entered when system is configured and then
rarely changed).

56. Delivery Class:

The delivery class controls the degree to which the SAP or the customer is responsible for table
maintenance. or Gives the owner of the table.

There are the following development classes: A,S,C,L

* A: Application table (master and transaction data).

* C: Customer table, data is only maintained by the customer.
* L: Table for storing temporary data.
* G: Customer table.

57. Size Category:

Size Category defines expected space, which is required for table in the database. You can choose a
size Category from 0 -4. Each Category is assigned a certain fixed memory size in database. When
table is created initial space is reserved in the database.

58. Technical setting :

7
Technical setting in tables makes controls over the tables. It consist of delivery class which is used
for managing and transport of tables While upgrade. It consists of table types as below.
- A: Application table
- B: Customer table

command.

73. Set Screen:

Call to next screen and return to back screen is not automated in this case.

74. CALL Screen:

With call screen current screen suspended and next screen called after that called screen
called to suspended screen by using “LEAVE SCREEN TO SCREEN 0”.

78. Tabstrip Control:

A tabstrip control is a screen object consisting of two or more pages. Tabstrip controls allow you to
place a series of screens on a single screen.To use a tabstrip control in your ABAP program, you must
create a control for each in the declaration part of your program using the following statement:
CONTROLS <ctrl> TYPE TABSTRIP. Which is always in PBO.

79. System Fields:

10
System fields are set at the PAI (Process After Input) event for every screen.These can be also used
for interactive list processing, except for SY-DATUM, SY-LOOPC, and SY-STEPL. SY-SLSET Variant
used to fill the selection screen.

80. Changing the title of the standard SAP screen:

To change the title of the standard SAP screen, follow these steps:
1. Execute transaction SE63
2. Follow the menu path -->translation -->shorttext -->transactions
3. Enter the transaction code and press EDIT. (check whether the target language is set to ENGLISH)
4. You will get the existing title on the first line. In the second line, you can edit that title.
5. Now click on SAVE to save the changes
6. Now execute that transaction to check the change in the title
7. You can also translate Menu texts, screen texts and others using this SE63 transaction.

81. HR Infotypes:

Infotypes are units of information in the Human Resource Management System. Examples:

82 . SUBSCREEN IN ABAP:

84. BADI & Why is it?
BADI (Business Add-In) is a new SAP Object Oriented enhancement technique which is used to add
our own business functionality to the existing SAP standard functionality. BADI follows Object
Oriented approach to make them reusable. A BADI can be used any number of times where as
standard enhancement techniques can be used only once. For example if we assign an enhancement
to one custom project, then that enhancement cannot be assigned to any other custom projects. To
overcome this drawback SAP has provided a new enhancement technique called BADI.
Transaction code for BADI Definition: SE18
Transaction code to Implement BADI: SE19
There are two types of BADI's.
1) Multi use BADI:
With this option, any number of active implementations can be assigned to the same definition
BADI. By default this option is checked. If we want the BADI for multiple use If you have multiple-use
BADI definitions, the sequence must not play any role.
The drawback in Multiple use BADI is, it is not possible to know which BADI is active especially in
country specific version.
2) Filter dependent BADI:
Using this option we can define the BADI's according to the filter values to control the add-in
implementation on specific criteria.
Ex: Specific country value.

154. Method1 Steps to find BADI:

1. Go to SE 24 transaction, type CL_EXITHANDLER and then click on display.
2. Double click on GET_INSTANCE method.
3. Put a break-point on class method CL_EXITHANDLER=>GET_CLASS_NAME_BY_INTERFACE.
4. Run any transaction on which we want find the BADI's say VA01.
5. Give the transaction name VA01 and press enter.
6. It will automatically take you to the break-point which we have set the in the SE24 transaction.
Each time if you press F8 a list BADI names will be displayed.

12
7. You can find the BADI name in field EXIT_NAME and if you double click on it, we can get the
corresponding BADI name before hit the corresponding screen. Based on the requirement find the
BADI name and accordingly implement your functionality using the transaction se19.

85. How to Debug Pop-up window

Create a simple text file on ur drive example debugger.txt containing

[FUNCTION]
Command=/H
Title=Debugger
Type=SystemCommand
drag this file and drop on the dialog box.
it will take you to debugger mode.
86. Easy Step To Debug a Smartform

- After executing smartform it generate function module

- there is source code perform global_init
- here we can easily find our tables and variables by setting break point there

87. New Debugger Skip Breakpoints

Whenever you have a breakpoint, once system brings you debugger, you can now use the Skip field
for each breakpoint. Whatever number you enter in the field, system would NOT stop to the
breakpoint for those many iterations.

Once the iteration is reached, system would STOP at the breakpoint.

13
After the condition is met, the breakpoint behaves normally – means flow of execution would be
interpreted whenever the statement is executed.

- This is mainly used for label printing or address printing.

96. Is it possible to create a SAPscript without a main window?

- (this can be used for static forms which always print the same number of pages)
- Yes, but you must call WRITE_FORM function module at least once (even with a non-existing
element or window!)
- If there is more than one page, you may need to force the next page to be printed by calling
CONTROL_FORM function module with command NEW-PAGE (PAGE2 for example).
97. Where are the SAPscript form names?

15
 - Table STXH, with field values tdobject = 'FORM' and tdid = 'TXT' and tdname = form name

Processing Framework.
99. What are the different types of windows in SAPscripts?
- Windows are defined in the Layout sets which define the position and the text to displayed.
- The different types of windows are:
● MAIN - Main Window
The main window is a continuous window which can extend over several pages. If the text in
the main window fills up a page, a new page is created.Only one main window can be
defined in the SAPscript whereas up to 100 instances of main window can be created in a
page.
● VAR - Variable Window
This window can have the variable contents displayed on them. The contents of the window
cannot exceed the window size. The content can be formatted for each page.
● CONST - Constant Window
The constant window can have a fixed content and is formatted only once

To disable these texts enclose empty commands between the commands.Eg.:

/: TOP
/: ENDTO

16
102. How can I trigger new page in SAPscripts?

103. How to Use the New-Window Command?

You can use the NEW-WINDOW command to call the other main window explicitly in the form, even
if the current main window is not full. We can create up to 99 Main Windows. This Main windows
are generally used to create labels or to write Addresses.Need to write this in the Main window.

/: NEW-WINDOW

104. What is the use of the POSITION and SIZE command in SAPscripts?
The POSITION command is used to x, y coordinate position which is used by the BOX command. The
offset from the current window positions are specified which could be either positive or negative.

122. Using SE80 we can copy a function group in SAP.

123. NACE in SAP ABAP:

The T Code NACE is used to link the Standard SAP forms (SCRIPT FORM or SMARTFORM) or the
customized form or the new form to its respective print programs. Also the output types, Form entry
are linked with their forms and print programs.if you create the output type using NACE then it will
be automatically visible in table NAST and TNAPR.

145. A classic BAdI :
A classic BADI can be called only once and the call positions are registered centrally.
With the classical BAdIs, the filter values are stored in a structure and passed with the call of
the BAdI methods. With classic BAdIs, a BAdI object is created by calling a factory method,
and referenced via a reference variable of the type of the BAdI interface.

146. Explain ABAP program Types:

- Executable program in SE38
- Include program not able to execute in any of the tcode only included as sub program
- MODULE pool only execute through tcode create by you .
- Function group cannot be executed only function modules are executed @ se37
- subroutine pool again with in the program called can not be executed
- interface pool can not be executed
147. - class pool can be executed in tcode se24
- type pool can not be executed in any tcode

23
148. SAP Memory ABAP Memory
- Global - Local
- using get , set data on screen - import & export
- Available through out session - Only limited session

149. Menu Exit :

Menu exits add items to the pull down menus in standard SAP applications. You can use these menu
items to call up your screens or to trigger entire add-on applications.
SAP creates menu exits by defining special menu items in the Menu painter. These special entries
have function codes that begin with ‘+’ (a plus sign).

Transaction used for achieving this functionality is SMOD & CMOD.

150. Difference between user exits & customer exits:

User exit:- A user exit is a three character code that instructs the system to access a program during
system processing.
SXX: S is for standard exits that are delivered by SAP. XX represents the 2-digit exit number.
UXX: U is for user exits that are defined by the user. XX represents the 2-digit exit number.
user exits are available only for SD module.user exits make use of forms(subroutines. user exits have
the option to access global data.User exits are flexible and inconsistent.Created in SAP
namespace.You require access key to make changes.customer exits are not reusable

Customer exit:- The R/3 enhancement concept allows you to add your own functionality to SAP’s
standard business applications without having to modify the original applications. SAP creates
customer exits for specific programs, screens, and menus within standard R/3 applications. These
exits do not contain any functionality. Instead, the customer exits act as hooks. You can hang your
own add-on functionality onto these hooks.customer exits are available for all the modules such as
MM,SD,FI , etc.customer Exits make use of Function modules . customer exits we can only access the
import/export/changing/tables parameters of the Function modules . customer exits are restrictive
and consistent. Created in customer namespace.You dont require access key to make
changes.customer exits are reusable.

24
151. Customer exits can be further classified as:
Menu Exits:
Menu exits add items to the pulldown menus in standard SAP applications. You can use these menu
items to call up your own screens or to trigger entire add-on applications.
SAP creates menu exits by defining special menu items in the Menu Painter. These special entries
have function codes that begin with "+" (a plus sign). You specify the menu item’s text when
activating the item in an add-on project.
Screen Exits :
Screen exits add fields to screens in R/3 applications. SAP creates screen exits by placing special
subscreen areas on a standard R/3 screen and calling a customer subscreen from the standard
screen’s flow logic.
Function Module Exits :
Function module exits add functions to R/3 applications. Function module exits play a role in both
menu and screen exits. When you add a new menu item to a standard pull down menu, you use a
function module exit to define the actions that should take place once your menu is activated.
Function module exits also control the data flow between standard programs and screen exit fields.
SAP application developers create function module exits by writing calls to customer functions into
the source code of standard R/3 programs.
These calls have the following syntax:
CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION ‘001’.

Field Exits:
Field exits allow you to create your own programming logic for any data element in the Dictionary.
You can use this logic to carry out checks, conversions, or business-related processing for any screen
field. Example: The data element BBBNR identifies a company’s international location number. You
might want to set up your R/3 System so that all international location numbers are larger than 100.

152. Deep structures contain at least one deep component at any nesting level.
153. Nested structures contain at least one sub-structure. Whether a nested structure is flat or
character-like depends on all the components in it.
154. We can use projection views and database views in program declarations.
155. Table maintenance generator is used to create entries add, modify, delete record from
database table. SM30 creation. SE11 menu Option , SE37 - delete tmg.

25
156. Single step & two step we used this concepts in module pool programming.

Single step: Only overview screen is created i.e. the Table Maintenance Program will have
only one screen where you can add, delete or edit records.

Two step: Two screens namely the overview screen and Single screen are created. The user
can see the key fields in the first screen and can further go on to edit further details.

157. Steps to create TABLE MAINTENANCE GENERATOR:

- Go to se11 check table maintenance check box under attributes tab
- Utilities-TMG->create function group and assign it under function group
- Also assign authorization group default &NC& .
- select maintenance type as single step.
- Maintenance screen as system generated numbers this dialog box appears
- When you click on create button
- Save and activate table

158. Performance Techniques in SAP ABAP:

'FOR ALL ENTRIES' statement which allows you to build an internal table and then restrict
the database select to only get entries contained in it.Things to remember before using for
all entries:
- Always select all the key fields, even you are not using the fields further in program.
- Sort the table by fields in where clause.
- Check table is not blank before using for all entries. i.e If not it_tab1[] is initial.
- Delete the adjacent duplicates from the driver table.
- Otherwise, for the same entry system will check redundantly.
159. EXIT command behaviour in ABAP code?
- EXIT command will come out of the program if used inside an IF condition.
- If used in LOOP....ENDLOOP, EXIT will come out of the loop.
- If used in a FORM or PERFORM it will come out of the subroutine.
- Never use an EXIT command inside a USER EXIT because it pulls you out of the program.

160. Change package: from Menu > EDIT > Object Directory entry > Here we can change existing

attached to standard table can be seen by system > Utilities > transaction Variants

177. Classical Report Events :

Initialization , At selection screen (IS PAI Events) , Start of selections, End of Selections.
178. SY-STEPL:
Refers to index of screen tables , that is currently processed. it has important during loop -
endloop. outside the loop it has no valid value.
179. TBTCO (Job headers) and TBTCO (Job steps)
180. Structure of a smartforms Form:

A form consists of pages, output areas, addresses, graphics (such as company logo, Scanned
Signature Of HR Manager), and data or text contents. Within an output area, you can use static or
dynamic tables to display data or texts in lines, columns, or cells. To further structure and format
text and data, use paragraphs with the paragraph and character formats. In SAP we call output areas
as Windows.

181. MAIN Window is used to Print the Dynamic Length Items, Sales Order Items.
182. Secondary Window :
In a secondary window you display text and data in predefined output area. There is no flow text
display with page breakup. If you position a secondary window with same name on several pages ,
the system displays the contents of this window on each page.

183. Final Window :

You may want to display or query values on the first page that are determined only during
processing. For example, you may want to name the grand total in the letter text of an invoice.
However, this amount is determined only after listing all individual items. Or you may want to query

32
on the first page within a condition the total number of pages, which the system calculates only after
processing all pages.
184. What is OOS Note : Online service note. SAP tries to solve problem by providing OSS notes.

187. Format color col_normal intensified off : control foreground color

188. SU21 - Maintain Authorization objects.

189. INSERT - inserts a new record. INSERT expects that a record with the required key does NOT
exist in the table. Therefore, if a record with the same key already exists, a runtime error occurs.

190. UPDATE - update an existing record. UPDATE expects that a record with required key exists
in the table. If a record with the required key does not exist, it issue an error (sy-subrc is 4).

191. MODIFY - acts like a combination of INSERT and UPDATE. If a record with the specified key
does not exist, it adds it to the table. If a record with the specified key does exist, it modifies it.
So MODIFY actually acts like "Insert or change record".

192. Binary statement always used with sorted tables and cant used with hashed tables.
193. SE09: request owner can be changed using this.

207. Screen Painter Architecture:

34
Screen Part Description

Screen Attributes Screen attributes describe a screen object in the SAP

system. They describe the program to which the
screen belongs and the type of screen.

Screen Layout The screen layout describes both the screen elements
and their layout. The most common screen elements
are I/O fields, text fields, checkboxes, radio buttons,
pushbuttons and controls. Fields are defined in the
ABAP Dictionary or in your program.

Flow Logic The flow logic controls the flow of your program

208. STX4 : SAPScripts table

215. Duplex printing in SAP : SPAD > take o/p devices > double click > print > duplex- triplex…
216. How can you format the data before write statement in the report?
217. By using the loop event the reports output can be formatted:

a) .at first

b) .at new

c) .at last

218. The difference between the table and template is that, table is a dynamic and template is a
static.
219. What is table buffer? Which type of tables used this buffer?

35
 Over here, buffer means memory area, table buffer means the table information is available

on the application server. When you call data from database table, it will come from

application server. Transparent tables and pool tables are buffered, while cluster table

cannot be buffered.

220. What is the use of ‘pretty printer’?

To format the ABAP code ‘pretty printer’ is used.

221. What is the difference between ‘Type’ and ‘Like’?

‘Type’: You assign data type directly to the data object while declaring.

‘Like’: You assign the data type of another object to the declaring data object.

‘Type’ refers the existing data type while ‘Like’ refers to the existing data object

222. How data is stored in cluster table?

A cluster table contains data from multiple DDIC tables. It stores data as name value pair.

223. In the ‘select’ statement what is ‘group by’?

To fetch the data from the table by the specified field Group by Clause is used

234. Replace all occurrences of ‘*’ in : we find any particular field

235. At Selection screen output:

This event is triggered at the screen event PAI of a selection screen.

IF R1 = ‘X’.
PERFORM MODIFY.
endif.

FORM MODIFY.
loop at screen.
IF SCREEN-NAME = ‘X’.
SCREEN-ACTIVE = 0.
MODIFY SCREEN.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
ENDFORM.

236. LEAVE LIST-PROCESSING:

36
 This statments Leaves the current program and continues processing after CALL
TRANSACTION , CALL DIALOG or SUBMIT prog AND RETURN .

237. Difference Between Select-Options & Ranges:

The main diff. between them is, while we use SELECT-OPTIONS system implicitly creates the
select options internal table which contains the fields of SIGN,OPTION,LOW & HIGH. But in
case of RANGES, this internal table should be defined explicitly.
238. When the SELECT-OPTIONS statement is executed, an internal table containing four
components, SIGN, OPTION, LOW, and HIGH is created. These components correspond to the
field of a database table or an internal field in the corresponding program

239. BDC Ok_CODES:

- /n : Terminate and marked as incorrect

- /bdel : Delete current batch input session
- /bbeg : Restart transaction
- /bend : terminate Batch input session
- /bda : Change display mode to processed
- /bde : Change display mode to read display

240. BDC Session log file print : RSBDCLOG

241. Generally CTU_PARAMS Is used to avoid unnecessary screens,even though they will not
appear in the recording. To handle screen resolutions in bdc.

242. BDCrecx1 is an include which contains selection-screen which we get when we execute the
BDC program using Recording.It contains Performs BDC_DYNPRO and BDC_FIELD which are
used to pass screen numbers and screen fields.It contains Session logic and call transaction
logic.just double click on BDCRECX1 and check it once.

243. Difference between call transaction ands session method (CLASSICAL BATCH INPUT):

call transaction Session method (CLASSICAL BATCH INPUT):

Immediate updation in the database tabl Data is not updated in the database table until the
session is processed.

sy-subrc is returned. No sy-subrc is returned.

37
Error need to be handled explicitly. Error log is created for error records.

updation can be synchronous as well as Updation is always synchronous

asynchronous

244. Table Maintenance steps:

- Try to edit this report with someone else’s log in.
- Similarly, we can lock the function module with the help of edit lock.

502. Consistency check for SAP Script forms and styles:

- Go to the transaction code SE38 and enter the program name “RSTXCHKO”.
- Execute the program. Below screen will appear.
- Enter the object as FORM for SAP script form and STYLE for SAPscript style.
- Enter the object, select the check boxes as per require. and execute it, as below.
- In this way, we can perform the consistency check for the SAP scripts and styles.

503. ABAP Test Cockpit - ABAP Quality Tool:

ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC) is an SAP new tool for ABAP programs quality checking. ATC is
available from EhP2 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 with support package stack 12. The ABAP Test
Cockpit is directly integrated into the ABAP workbench as well as in the ABAP Development
Tools for Eclipse and allows checking code from just within the development environment
the ABAP developer is used to.

SE38 > Menu > program > check > ABAP Test cockpit.

 Go to transaction ATC -> ATC Administration -> Setup -> Configure ATC.

504. Function Modules used in read & save text : read_text & Save_text

509. Printing smartform without printer dialog

We need to set 'X' to NO_DIALOG into SSFCTRLOP(Smart Forms: Control structure) structure. We
have to export this structure through Smart Form function module.

ssfctrlop-no_dialog = 'X'. "It supresses the Printer dialog.

ssfcompop-tddest = p_printr. "Printer from selection-screen

"Get Function module name for given smartform

CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
EXPORTING
formname = 'ZTEST_SMARTFORM'
IMPORTING
fm_name = fm_name.
"Call Smartform function module.
CALL FUNCTION fm_name
EXPORTING
control_parameters = ssfctrlop
output_options = ssfcompop
TABLES
it_nfal = it_nfal.

510. Smartform call within LOOP and ENDLOOP

LOOP AT it_nfal.
AT FIRST.
"Get Function module name for given smartform
CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
EXPORTING
formname = 'ZTEST_SMARTFORM'
IMPORTING
fm_name = fm_name.
ENDAT.
IF sy-tabix = no_of_records.
flag = 'Y'.

42
 ENDIF.
APPEND it_nfal TO it_nfal_final.

525. What is RFC?

A Remote Function Call(RFC) is a call to a function module running in a system different from the
caller's. The remote function can also be called from within the same system (as a remote call).The
RFC interface provides the ability to call remote functions.

RFC consists of two interfaces :

1. A calling interface for ABAP Programs
2. A calling interface for Non-SAP programs.
Types of RFC:
1. Synchronous RFC - The calling program continues the execution only after the called
function is complete.
2. Asynchronous RFC - The calling program continues the execution without waiting for
return from the called function.
3. Transactional RFC - The called function module is executed exactly once in the RFC target
system. Each function call is seen as a transaction in the target system. Transactional
RFCs use the suffix IN BACKGROUND TASK .

536. Merging multiple transport requests into one:

Execute transaction code SE10, select the radio button “Workbench Requests” and click on display.

Following list is displayed with the Workbench requests (modifiable):

43
For example you need to merge above two transport requests into one request.
First click on New and create a workbench request.

Now select the Transport request in which you want to merge another request. Click on merge
button and give the transport request no. Click on Green tick.

44
Now expand the request, you will get the entry of merged transport request.

With same steps you can add more transport requests in your request.
Above steps holds good if you need to add/merge one or two transport requests. Sometimes there
might be a requirement to merge more requests in one. In such cases, proceed as mentioned
below:
First create a new transport request and click on merge as specified in above steps. Now select
‘Object lists from multiple requests’ and press on green tick.

45
Following screen is displayed:

Now enter all the transports requests numbers which need to be merged and execute.

46
Click on“Merge”
A popup screen to confirm the action is displayed. Click on “Execute online”.

Now expand the transport request. You will find all the merged transport requests.

1.1.1.1
1.1.1.2 How can I provide a background shading to the table?
In the Table Painter, you can specify the color and shading for the table lines.

Calling the function module to send mail:

SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1

47
To get subtotals on each page in smartforms
If the requirement is to get subtotal on each page, we can use calculation tab of smartforms which is
present on table line as shown in the figure below.

Put the name of the field of the table whose subtotal you want in the column Field Name.
Put a variable in the column Target Field Name. This variable will have the value of subtotal which
you got to print.

Set the time according to your requirement.
