Difference between TYPE and LIKE in SAP ABAP :

TYPE : It will allocate memory during execution (object type).

TYPE will improve performance.
It is used when userdefined object link with SAP system data type.
TYPE refers to the user defined data types
TYPE,assign datatype directly to the data object while declaring.
LIKE : Tt will allocate memory immediatly.
It is when data object link with the other data object.
LIKE refers to existing data type of data object
LIKE,you assign the datatype of another object to the declaring data object.
The datatype is referenced indirectly.

Data Types in abap:

1.Data types are pure descriptions.
2.There is no memory associated with data types.
3.Data types describe the technical properties of data objects
Data objects
1.Data objects are the physical units a program uses at runtime.
2.Each data object has a specific data type assigned to it.
3.Each data object occupies some space in memory.

What is a difference between - RETURN, EXIT, CHECK,

STOP & REJECT - To leave the processing blocks ?
STOP: This terminates the block and executes end-of selection.
EXIT: It terminates the loop processing and process the next
statements.
CHECK: It evaluates the subsequent logical expression if it
is true the processing continue with the next statement.
CONTINUE terminates the current loop pass, returns the
Processing to the beginning of the loop and starts the next
loop pass,
REJECT: it terminates the current event, even from loops or
subroutines.

3.

What is the purpose of structure?

Ans: Structure is used for reusability purpose.

4.

How can you create a table?

Ans: To create a table go to SE11 (data dictionary) give table name press create
button give short description and delivery class (A- application table) enter the
field name, check the key and give the field type double click on field type it will
ask for whether you want to create data element click yes- then create the data
element-give the short description for data element-select any one either domain or
built in type (if you select built in type no need to create the domain and if u want to
create the domain select the domain button) select the field label button tab give
the short, medium, long, heading labels if u select the domain radio button then
give the domain name and double click on that name-it will ask for whether you
want to create domain-click on yes give the short description for the domain- give
the data type, no. Of characters, decimal places, out put length, conversion routine,
and check if you want sign and lowercase checkboxes, -select the value range tab
button- give the fixed values and short text for single values (or) lower limit and
upper limit for intervals give the value table name, if anyrepeat the same for the
number of fields- then choose the technical setting button on the application tool
bar give the data class (APPL0 Master data, APPL1 Transactional data, APPL2
Organizational data, USER (or) USER1-customer data), size( ranging from 0-4),
select the any of these buffering radio button buffering not allowed, buffering
allowed but switched off, buffering switched on, and select any of buffering type
(single record buffering, generic area buffered, fully buffered)then check for
syntax and activate.

5.

What is Data element and Domain?

Ans: Data element gives the semantic attributes of the field. F1 help is coming
because of data element. Domain gives the technical attributes of the field. F4 help
is coming because of Domain.

6.

What is the search help? How can you create? How can you attach search help to a
field?
Ans: To create search help go to SE11 (data dictionary) select the search help
radio button and give the search help name and press create button it will ask
whether you want to create elementary search help (or) collective search help,
select the radio button- give the short description for the search help give the help
view name in the selection method give the search help exit name in the search
help exit text field then enter the search help parameter names- save and activate
the search help.
F4 help is coming because of the search help attached to that field. To attach the
search help to a field, you should give that search help name in the screen field
attributes. (or) you can attach the search help through match code object also.

7.

What is Lock object? How can you create a lock object?

Ans: Lock object is used for locking and unlocking. You cannot create a lock object,
as lock object name should start with E. Two function modules are there for locking
and unlocking, they are ENQUE_* for locking and DEQUE_* for unlocking.

8.

In Table creation what do you mean by Technical settings?

Ans: In Technical settings, you have to give the Data class name Size category,
buffering (buffering not allowed, buffering allowed but switched off, buffering
switched on radio buttons), and buffering type (single record buffering, generic area
buffered, full buffered check boxes).

9.

How can we view the contents of the table?

Ans: you can view the contents of the table through SE16.

10.How can you add a field to a SAP table? (Already existing SAP table)
Ans: You need to take the Access key to modify the SAP table.

11. What is Internal table? How many types of internal tables?

Ans: Internal table is used to temporarily store the data and do all the
manipulations. Internal table is created when you run the program and delete after
execution. The life of internal table is still the program is running.
There are 5 types of internal tables. They are
1.

Standard table.

2.

Sorted table.

3.

Hashed table.

4.

Indexed table.

5.

Any table.

1. Standard table defines the table as a standard table. Key access to a standard
table uses a linear search. This means that the time required for a search is in linear
relation to the number of table entries. You should use index operations to access
standard tables.
2. Sorted table defines the table as one that is always saved correctly sorted. Key
access to a sorted table uses a binary key. You can also access tables by index
operations.
3. Hash table defines the table as one that is managed with an internal hash
procedure. You can imagine a hashed table as a set, whose elements you can
address using unique key. Unlike standard and sorted tables, you cannot access
hash tables using index. You can only access a hashed table using the generic key
operations or other generic operations (sort, loop and so on).
4.Standard and Sorted tables belongs to the generic class index tables. An index
table is one that you can access using an index.

12. What is difference between sorted table and hashed internal table?
Ans: In Sorted table the values are stored in a sorted order, where as in hashed
table the values are stored according to key value pair.

13. What is the command used to sort internal table?

Ans: Sort <internal table name>.
Sort <internal table name> by <field name1 > .. <Field name n >.
Sort <internal table name>
14. What is the syntax of the internal table with header line and without header
line?
Ans: Internal table with Header line:
Data: begin of <internal table name> occurs 0,
<Field names>.
End of <internal table name>.

Internal table without header line:

Data: <internal table name> like <internal table name or table name>.

15. What is difference between classical and interactive reports?

Ans: In classical report no user interaction is allowed. Classical report out put is
limited to basic list itself. In interactive report user can interact with the output in
the basic list for further more details. In Interactive report the output can be one
basic list and 20 secondary lists.

16. What are the system variables you used in interactive reporting?
Ans: sy-lsind system variable stores the list index (0- for basic list).
Sy-linno system variable stores the current line number where the cursor is
placed.
Sy-lincnt - system variable stores the total number of lines in the list.
Sy-lisel system variable stores the content of the line from where the event is
triggered

23. Have you ever created LDB? How can you create LDB?
Ans: You can create LDB in SE36.In SE36 give the LDB name, select the structure
radio button and press create button- then it will ask for the short description for the
ldb - give the short description and press create button then save- then it will ask
for the name of the root node- give the name of the root node, short description and
select the database table radio button and press on create button - then select that
node and press the insert node button then give the node name and data base
table name press create button. then come back and select the selections radio
button- it will ask that should the selection of the logical database be generated

from the structure-press yes then it will ask that do you want to define new search
help- if you want to define press yes otherwise press no then it will ask for nodes
for free selection and field selection, select the nodes and press the transfer buttonthen it will show the include program uncomment the select-options and replace
the question mark with the select-option name, then save active then come out
and select the database program radio button it will ask for should the program of
the logical database be generated from the structure and selection- press yes, it will
take you to the report program, then double click on the system routines includethen it will show includes double click on each include and uncomment the select
statement, save activate..-you can test the LDB.

24. What is the difference between GET and GET LATE?

Ans: The code that follows GET node LATE is processed after all subordinate nodes
have been read and processed.
You can only use Get node statement once in a program.

PBO process before output,
PAI process after input,
POV process on value request,
POH process on help request.
The event PBO is triggered when before the screen is displayed for the first time.
The event PAI is triggered when you enter the data in the screen and press push
button.

The event POV is triggered when you press F4 on any input field of the screen.

used to retrieve the data from the database tables. The advantage of LDB is allows
dynamic selection.

89. How you use the LDB in the report program?

Ans: You have to give the LDB name in the report attributes and in the program
after report statement you need to give as node and LDB name. And you have to
use the GET <node> or GET<node> LATE statement to fetch the data.

4. Field exit.
Menu exit Adding the menu buttons and corresponding functionality to the
standard SAP programs are called menu exit.

Key word exit Adding the user specific documentation to the standard SAP field is
called key word exit.

Function module exit Adding the functionality to the standard SAP function
modules is called Function module exit.

Field exit Adding the fields to the standard SAP screens is called the Field exit.

You use the transaction SMOD SAP enhancements to find out the enhancements
available in any module.

Ans: Recoding is the option provided by the SAP to transfer the data from the
application server to the SAP R/3 system.

94. What case makes you write a BDC program? Which is not possible with the
Recording?
Ans: Recording programs read data only from application server not from
presentation server. If you want to upload the data from the application server then
you can do it by recording. But if you want to upload the data from the presentation
server then you need to write the BDC program manually.
The reason is that the recording program uses the open_data_set, read_data_set,
and close_data_set. Where the statements read data only from the application
server not from presentation server. To read the data from presentation server you
need to use the function modules upload (or) ws_upload.

Ans: In ritch text format text elements store.

99. Which looping statement is fast?

Ans:

100.What is difference between case endcase and if endif? Which is faster?

Ans: Case executes the block of statements depending upon the variable given in
case statement.
If checks the condition, and if the condition satisfied then executes the block of
statements between if and else, if the condition not satisfied then it will executes
the corresponding else, otherwise doesnt executes any code.

101.What are the parameters you will give in session and call transaction?

Basic PP Flow for Abapers to Know

There is no flow in PP but there is some sequence in PP to know by Abapers to develope PP
Objects.
Master 1. Create Resource using CRC1 ie like Mixing Tank.
It is stored in CRHD table. The resource is stored in ARBPL(Work center) field.
Note - An Euipment can also be a resource. Then an Equipment is assigned to Resource
in IE03.
2. Create Activity type master in KL01 like Contract Lobour. It is created for a Controlling
Area.
It is stored in CSLA table.
3. For a resource maintain the activities in CRC2 ie for resource Mixing tank maintain
Contract Labour. Maintain the Activity wrt to Controlling Area
and Cost Center.
It is stored in CRCO.
4. Maintain the activity costs in KP26.
It is stored in COST table. Can be selected by OBJNR field. OBJNR =
KL10000001000044CASUAL(KL + Controlling Area - 1000 +
Cost Center - 0001000044 + Activity Type - CASUAL)
5. Create a BOM for a Final Product in CS01.
It is stored in STKO, STPO tables. The relation between STKO and STPO is in STAS.
6. Create a Master Receipe for Final Product using C201. It contains both BOM and
Operations. BOM can also be directly created here(C201).
Operations means Resource and Steps.
For an operation Characteristics can be defined.
Master Recipe Operation are stored in PLKO, PLPO tables with type '2'. 2 - Master
Receipe. The relation between PLKO and PLPO is in PLAS.
Master Recipe's Operation's Inspection Plan are stored in PLMK table with type '2'. 2 Master Receipe.
Master Recipe and its BOM version no are stored in MKAL.
Allocation of BOM items to oprations - PLMZ
Note: BOM if created in CS01, is attached in Master Receipe(C201). Other wise is created
with Master Receipe(C201).

7. Run the Cost Estimate in CK11N, ie it calculates cost based on Master Receipe's Raw
Material Costs and Operation's Resource's Activity Type's
Cost.
Transaction 1. Create Process Order in COR1.
It is stored in AFKO, AFPO.
2. Release the Process Order in COR2. After releasing, Reservation Number will be created
based on BOM and Routing number of operations in the
order will be created based on Master Recepe's Operations. An Inspection Lot is created
with Master Receipe's Operations Inspection Plan.
Goods Issues for the order will be done aganist reservation no.
Reservation details will be stored in RESB table.
Routing No will be stored in AFVC table.
3. Issue Goods to Order by MIGO. (Mvt Types - 261, 262)
Material document are stored in AUFM, MKPF, MSEG. A corresponding FI document is
created with movement types 99 - Stock Outward Movement and 81 - Costs. Accounting
Document details are availabe in BKPF, BSEG. Costs item is available in BSIS and Stock
Outward movement
item is available in BSIM.
4. Confirm the Order by CORK or COR6N(Operation wise). Order Confirmation will be done
Phase wise. To display Process Order Confirmation CORT.
5. Receive Goods for Order by MIGO. (Mvt Types - 101, 102)
Material document are stored in AUFM, MKPF, MSEG. A corresponding FI document is
created with movement types 89 - Stock Inward Movement and 91 - Costs. Accounting
Document details are availabe in BKPF, BSEG. Costs item is available in BSIS and Stock
Inward movement
item is available in BSIM.
6. QC Clearence.
Tables MAPL - Linking Final Product to Master receipe
MAST - Linking Matrial to BOM
S027 - Final Product Costs wrt to Material and Activity
