1. How data is stored in cluster table?

Each field of cluster table behaves as tables which contains the no. of entries.

2. What are client dependant objects in abap/sap?

SAP Script layout, text element, and some DDIC objects.

3. On which event we can validate the input fields in module progams?

In PAI (Write field statement on field you want to validate, if you want to validate group
of fields put in chain and End chain statement.)

4. In selection screen I have three fields, plant mat no and material group. If I input
plant how do I get the mat no and material group based on plant dynamically?
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR MATERIAL.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST' to get material and
material group for the plant.

5. How do you get output from IDOC?

Data in IDOc is stored in segments, the output from Idoc is obtained by reading the data
stored in its respective segments.

6. When top of the page event is triggered?

After excuteing first write statement in start-of-selection event.

7. Can we create field without data element and how?

In SE11 one option is available above the fields strip. Data element/ direct type.

8. How do we debug sapscript?

Go to SE71 give lay set name , go to utilities select debugger mode on.

9. Which transaction code can I used to analyze the performance of ABAP

program.
TCode AL21.
10. How can I copy a standard table to make my own z_table.
Go to transaction SE11. Then there is one option to copy table. Press that button. Enter
the name of the standard table and in the Target table enter Z table name and press enter.

Following are some of the answers which I gave upto my knowledge.

1. What is the use of 'outerjoin'

Ans. With the use of outer join you can join the tables even there is no entry in all the
tables used in the view.
In case of inner join there should be an entry in al the tables use in the view.

2. When to use logical database?

Ans. Advantage of Logical databases:
less coding s required to retrieve data compared to normal internel tables.
Tables used LDB are in hierarchial structure.

3. What is the use of 'table index'?

Ans .Index is used for faster access of data base tables.

4. What is the use of 'FOR ALL ENTRIES'?

Ans. To avoid nested select statements we use SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES statement.
If there r more than 10000 records SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES is used.
Performance wise SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES is better to use.

5. Can you set up background processing using CALL TRANSACTION?

Yes,Using No Screen Mode.

6. What are table buffers?

Table buffers reside locally on each application server in the system. The data of
buffered tables can thus be accessed
directly from the buffer of the application server. This avoids the time-consuming
process of accessing the database.

Buffering is useful if table needs to be accessed more no. of times in a program.

1) How do you backup script layout sets?

2) What type of variables normally used in script to o/p data?
3) How do you use tabsets in layouts?

1) Use this Std program RSTXSCRP.

1) First Export to Presentation file(.doc).
2) Whenever you need that Export into SAP.
2) Normally we call them as Program symbols. Those are defined in Driver program.
We can use in Script as for exp. &itab-matnr&
Other variables ---System symbols : ex &page&
---Std symbols :
---Text symbols :We define them in script editor itself.
Ex : /: Define &mysymbol& = 'XX'

3) We can control the tab feed in a paragraph with tab positions. The tab stops us define
in the paragraph format replace the tab spacing we defined in the header data of the form.
However, this depends on the extent to which we have defined tab stops in the paragraph
format. If there are fewer tabs in the paragraph formats than in the header data, the tab
stops of the header data are used for the rest of the line.

SAPscripts Tips by : Venkat O

Q: We get the total number of pages as expected by using 'SAPSCRIPT-

FORMPAGES' in a duplex layout. In our case duplex case is always 'Terms &
Conditions'. We do not want the number of pages as in duplex printing. What is the
best possible solution?

A: On the Terms & Conditions page, Change the Page counter mode to 'HOLD' to keep
the page counter from incrementing when you print the Term & Conditions.

Q: Can I Print a logo on an Invoice?

A: Save a Logo using Paintshop Pro or Corel Draw as Tiff file. Use RSTXLDMC to
convert the logo to standard text in SapScript. When the program is executed, the path
and file name have to be correctly specified.

Process could be like the following:

Run RSTXLDMC
Enter file name C:\MAIL\COMPLOGO.TIF
Resolution for Tiff file
Absolute X-position
Absolute Y-position
Absolute positioning
Reserved height
Shift to right
UOM = CM
Text title
Line width for text = 132
Text name ZHEX-MACRO-COMPLOGO
Text ID ST
Text language = E
Postscript scaling
Width & Height according to PS scaling
Number of Tiff gray levels (2,4,9) 2
Then Create a new window 'COMP' with attributes;
Window COMP description Company Logo
Window type CONST
Left margin 7.00 CH window width 10.00 CH
Upper margin LN window height 8.00 LN

Finally in the text element , mention

/: INCLUDE 'ZHEX-MACRO-COMPLOGO' OBJECT TEXT ID ST LANGUAGE 'E'.

Please note that if object name is not indicated as 'ZHEX...', the logo may not be printed!

You will not be able to see the logo in a test print. The same will be printed in actual
printout.

If you are using two logos in the same layout, the names of the logos should be unique.
Say 'ZHEX-MACRO-LOGO1' and 'ZHEX-MACRO-LOGO2'. Else all the information
will be overwritten.

If the logo is not EXACTLY TIFF 6.0, the same will not be printed.

See OSS notes 5995, 18045, 39031 for some inputs.

The following system fields are always set automatically.

The GET TIME statement synchronizes the time on the application server with the time
on the database server and writes it to the field SY-UZEIT. SY-DATUM and the system
fields for the local timezone (SY-TIMLO, SY-DATLO, and SY-ZONLO) are also reset.

SY-DATLO

User’s local date, for example 19981129, 19990628, …

SY-DATUM

Current application server date, for example 19981130, 19990627, …

SY-DAYST

X during summertime, otherwise space.

SY-FDAYW

Factory calendar day of the week: Monday = 1 … Friday = 5.

SY-TIMLO

User’s local time, for example 154353, 225312, …

SY-TZONE

Time difference in seconds between local time and Greenwich Mean Time (UTC), for
example,
360, 10800.

SY-UZEIT

Current application server time. for example 164353, 215312, …

SY-ZONLO

User’s time zone, for example, EST, UTC, …

SY-BATCH

X if the ABAP program is running in the background, otherwise space

Batch Input

SY-BINPT

X while a batch input session is running and when an ABAP program is called using
CALL TRANSACTION USING, otherwise space.

OPTIONS FROM in the CALL TRANSACTION USING statement can set SY-
BINPT to space either for
the entire duration of the program, or at the end of the BDC data.

SY-BINPT is always space during a CATT procedure.

SY-TABIX

Current line of an internal table. SY-TABIX is set by the statements below, but only for
index tables. The field is either not set or is set to 0 for hashed tables.

APPEND sets SY-TABIX to the index of the last line of the table, that is, it contains the
overall number of entries in the table.
COLLECT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the existing or inserted line in the table. If the
table has the type HASHED TABLE, SY-TABIX is set to 0.

LOOP AT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the current line at the beginning of each loop
lass. At the end of the loop, SY-TABIX is reset to the value that it had before entering the
loop. It is set to 0 if the table has the type HASHED TABLE.

READ TABLE sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table line read. If you use a binary
search, and the system does not find a line, SY-TABIX contains the total number of lines,
or one more than the total number of lines. SY-INDEX is undefined if a linear search fails
to return an entry.

SEARCH <itab> FOR sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table line in which the search
string is found.

SY-TFILL

After the statements DESCRIBE TABLE, LOOP AT, and READ TABLE, SY-TFILL
contains the number of lines in the relevant internal table.

SY-TLENG

After the statements DESCRIBE TABLE, LOOP AT, and READ TABLE, SY-TLENG
contains the length of the lines in the relevant internal table.

SY-TOCCU

After the statements DESCRIBE TABLE, LOOP AT, and READ TABLE, SY-TLENG
contains the initial amount of memory allocated to the relevant internal table.
