Release 3.
3. Client / Server concept can be defined -
a. Only from software point of view
b. Only from a hardware point of view
c. Both of the above*
4. SAP R/3 is not based on multi-layered Client / Server architecture (TRUE / FALSE) False
5. Applications developed using SAP R/3 on one platform can be ported to another SAP R/3
platform without making any changes to the application. (TRUE / FALSE). True
6. Use of open SQL guarantees transparency to the under lying RDBMS. (T/F). True
7. Name the R/3 layer that makes SAP R/3 applications independent of the system interfaces
of operating system, database systems & communication systems.
Middle-ware
8. R/3 Applications are developed using ABAP/4 language.

C. Data Dictionary Objects, Elementary Language Constructs &
Working with Data

1. Name the different types of tables in ABAP/4?
a. Transparent tables b. Pooled tables
c. Cluster tables

2. Give the hierarchy structure of table definition?
Domain, Data elements, Table fields.

3. Name the different dictionary objects?
1. Tables 2. Structures 3. Views
4. Domains 5. Data Elements 6. Matchcodes (Search fields)
7. Type groups 8. Lock Objects

4. Having defined Value table for a domain and associating it with a data element in Table
creation when does the value table is validated.
a. Automatic
b. After activation
c. When foreign key relation is defined *

5. Is structure within structure is permitted.
a. True* b. False

6. When you are creating a Matchcode which table is created by the system?
The name of the table pool contains the prefix M_ and the name of the Matchcode object.
For example the name of the table pool for the matchcode object reddy will be M_reddy.

7. When you create a lock object what is the function created by the system.
When activating this lock object, two function modules with the names
ENQUEUE_<Object_name> and DEQUEUE_<Object_name> are generated. The
ENQUEUE function module is used for setting a lock, the DEQUEUE function module for
lifting an existing lock. These function modules each contain an argument for each lock
field of a table included in the lock object. A value can thus be given for each field of the
lock argument. The records of the table that correspond in the key fields with the values
given are then locked.

9. What are field symbols and what is its significance.
Placeholder for an existing field. A field symbol does not reserve physical space for a field, but
points to a field that is only determined at runtime. In ABAP/4, field symbols are comparable
with deferent pointers in the programming language C (i.e. pointers to which the content
operator * is applied). In ABAP/4, there is nothing that corresponds exactly to pointers, i.e.
variables that contain a memory address and can also be used without the content operator.
You can only use a field symbol with the data object to which the field symbols points.

10. Purpose for using match code
A Matchcode is a tool to help us search for a data record in the system. Matchcodes are an
efficient and user-friendly search aid for cases where the key of the record is unknown.

11. Write the output of SY-SUBRC and mention its significance.
As with the other ABAP/4 statements, the return code value in the system field SY-SUBRC
indicates after each Open SQL operation whether or not the operation was successful.
If an operation is successful, SY_SUBRC = 0.
If an operation is not successful then SY-SUBRC <> 0.

12. What is SY-INDEX and SY-DBCOUNT and explain their difference.
The system field SY-INDEX contains the number of times the loop has been processed.
The system field SY-DBCNT field indicates how many lines were affected by the operation or
how many lines have already been processed.
Note that the system field SY-INDEX contains the number of loop passes for each loop
individually.

13. Give the name of the SAP table, which contains the list of tables.
DD02T

14. What are the two functions used to call lock objects for using locks in programs?
ENQUEUE_<Object_name> and DEQUEUE_<Object_name> are generated.
The ENQUEUE function module is used for setting a lock, the DEQUEUE
function module for lifting an existing lock.

15. What are Matchcode ID's and why is it created.
A Matchcode ID describes a special search path for a search term.
The matchcode ID defines the fields or field combinations used to search for the term.
One or more matchcode IDs can be defined for a matchcode object. The matchcode
IDs are generated from the matchcode object by projection (field selection) and selection
(specification of a selection condition).
Matchcode IDs belonging to a particular matchcode object is distinguished by means of
a one-character ID, which can be a letter or a number. Consequently, a maximum of 36
matchcode IDs can be defined for any one-matchcode object. The numbers 0 to 9 are reserved
for customers to define their own matchcode IDs for SAP matchcodes.

16. Name prominent data types in SAP
ABAP/4 data Types
Data type Initial size valid size Initial value Description
C 1 1 - 65535 SPACE Text, character
(Alphanumeric characters)
D 8 8 '00000000' Date (format: YYYYMMDD)

17. Give the system dependent variable for the following
Loop control - SY-DBCNT
Select - SY-SUBRC
Date - SY-DATUM
Do - SY-INDEX
Time - SY-UZEIT

18. Extract ABC from the string 'TESABCTING' into variable x of type char.

19. Write a command to join the string "ABC" to a variable y, which contains "var"

20. What is the use of Describe command?
1. Returns attributes of a field
2. Return attributes of an internal table
3. Determine distance between two fields
4. Return attributes of list

21. What are Field-Groups, explain with examples.
A field group combines several existing fields together under one name. You use the
INSERT statement to determine which fields belong to a field group at runtime.
Example
FIELD-GROUPS: HEADER, ORDER, PRODUCT.
Note
Neither defining a field group (statically) using FIELD-GROUPS nor filling a field group
(dynamically) with INSERT generates more memory. Rather, there exists for each field
group element a pointer to an (existing) field.

22. How do you format a decimal number?
Format the following.

2345.76776 8 digit with 2decimal.
566799.2 10 digit with 1 decimal.

23. Give the syntax to extract dd, mm, and yyyy into d, m, and y variables.

Short answers

1. What is modularization? Name the modularization techniques in SAP?
Modularization is techniques where we make the programs look easier to read and improve
their structure. They are easier to maintain and to update. We can avoid redundancy by using
modularization techniques.
Modularization techniques:
1. Use of Macros and include programs
2. Subroutines
3. Function Modules.

2. Write a program to find factorial of a number using subroutine.
Program Reddy.
Data: Num type I value 5,
Fac type I value 0.

Perform Fact using Num changing Fac.
Write:/ 'Factorial of', Num, 'is', Fac.

Form Fact using value (F_Num) Changing F_Fact.
F_Fact = 1.
While F_Num GE 1.
F_Fact = F_Fact * F_Num.
F_Num = F_Num 1.
EndWhile.
Endform.
The output appears as:
Factorial of 5 is 120.

3. Write a program to find the net salary of the employee using macro.
(Table emp) (Commission category a = 10% b = 20% c = 25%)
Table emp.
Fields- empno emp_name salary category
1001 Mr. X 15,000 a
1002 Mr. Y 20,000 b
1003 Mr. Z 7,500 c

4. What is the difference between Function and Subroutines?
Subroutines are program modules, which can be called from ABAP/4 programs. You define
subroutines so that you only have to write frequently used parts of a program or algorithms
once. You can explicitly pass data to and from subroutines.
There are two types of subroutines.

Internal subroutines: The source code of internal subroutines is in the same ABAP/4
program as the calling procedure (internal call).
External subroutines: The source code of external subroutines is in an ABAP/4 program
other than the calling procedure (external call).

Although you use internal subroutines mainly to modularize and structure individual programs, a
subroutine which is called internally in one ABAP/4 program can be called externally from
another ABAP/4 program. On the other hand, it is also possible to create ABAP/4 programs,
which contain only subroutines. These programs cannot run on their own, but are used by other
ABAP/4 programs as tools of external subroutines.

Then developing larger applications, you should use function modules instead of external
subroutines. In contrast to subroutines, function modules offer a defined interface, they are
stored in a central library, and they obey a save release procedure.
To program a Function Module you must include your statements between Function and
Endfunction.
To program a subroutine you must include your statements between Form and Endform.
The Main difference between a function module and a subroutine:
Clearly defined interface for passing data to and from the function modules.
Declaring data as a common part is not possible in function module. The calling program
and the called function module have a separate work area for ABAP/4 dictionary tables.
The interface facilitates and standardizes the passing of input and output parameters.
For example:
Can assign default values to the input parameters of the function module. One can decide
whether to pass data by value or reference the interface also supports the exception
handling to handle possible errors.

5. Write a perform statement to call a subroutine named 'SUB' in program Program'.
Perform SUB(Program).

6. Explain
a. Passing by Value
b. Passing by Reference
c. Passing by Value Reference in Subroutines. Give Examples.
During a subroutine call, the formal parameter acts as a copy of actual parameters. The formal
parameters have memory of their own. Changes to the formal parameters have no effect on
actual parameters.
During a subroutine call, only the address of the actual parameter is passed on to the formal
parameters. The formal parameters have no memory of their own. You work with the field of the
calling program with in the subroutine. If you change the formal parameter, the field contents in
the calling program also change.
During a subroutine call, the formal parameters are created as copies of actual parameters. The
formal parameters have memory of their own. Changes to the formal parameter are copied to
the actual parameter at the end of the subroutine.

7. Give the naming convention for functions.
Y_ OR Z_.

8. What is the significance of changing parameters in functions?
Values that act as import and export parameters simultaneously. The original value of a
changing parameter is transferred from the calling program to the function module. The function
module can change the initial value and send it back to the calling program.

9. When do you use perform, functions explain.
Function modules are general-purpose library routines that are available system wide. They can
have any number of uses like manipulating strings, making special calculations, making calls to
programs on remote systems, or issuing a standard sequence of screens.

E. Internal Table
Fill in the blanks
1. Internal Tables exists only at _____________ of the program.
Ans. Runtime
2. Header line is __________ of an Internal Table.
Ans. Work area.
3. A WORKAREA is used as ________ for one entry of database table.
Ans. Temporary storage
4. The _________ statement includes the header line of an internal table in the Table as a new
entry and adds it to an existing entry of the same type.
Ans. With header line.
5. The _______ statement adds the content of the header line to the end of the Internal Table.
Ans. Append
6. The statement _________ <field1> to <field2> transports values field by field between the
ABAP/4 data structures f1 and f2.
Ans. Move-corresponding
7. The _______ statement provides information about an internal table.
Ans. Describe
8. During processing of an internal table the system field ______ contains the index of that line.
SY-TABIX

Short answers:

1. Difference Between Cursor and Internal Table?

2. What is the significance of occurs option in Internal Tables?
We create a data object as an internal table with an occurs statement.

3. What is the use of header line or work area?
Is used as a default record to hold the current line of a table.
4. What are the different ways of filling an Internal Table?
To fill an internal table line by line, you can either use append, collect or insert
statements.
5. When the Select command is executed which system variable will be effected.
SY-SUBRC
6. Along with Internal Table system will creates which system variable.
SY-TABIX
7. List the operations you can perform on an Internal Table.
You can use internal tables to perform table calculations on subsets of database tables.
For example, you can read a certain part of a database table into an internal table (see
Reading Data into an Internal Table). From the internal table, you can then calculate
totals or generate a ranked list.
8. What are the different ways of Identifying Internal table Records?
In order to access a certain line of a table, you must specify a field or combination of
fields that can be used to identify the line. In the relational data model, which is used to
store long-life data in the R/3 System, the minimum combination required for this
purpose is known as the key. The fields which, defines the key are called key fields. In

the relational data model, each table has at least one key. This concept of special
unique key fields is not used for internal tables.
Nevertheless, ABAP/4 provides the following feature which, enable you to access certain
lines in internal tables:
Internal Table Index
Internal Table Key
9. Write the difference between Append and Collect commands.
To use an internal table just for storing data, you are recommended to use APPEND for
performance reasons to calculate totals of numeric fields or to ensure that no duplicate
entries occur in an internal table, use the COLLECT statement which processes lines
depending on the standard key.
10. Along with the Sort Command if you have not specified any field, Which field will be
considered for Sorting.
The internal table is sorted by its standard key or, in other words, by all non-numerical
fields.
11. Write the syntax of the command used to process the Internal Table.
Loop at <itab> [into <wa>] [from <n1>] [to <n2>] [where <condition>]
12. Explain the different Control Breaks.
AT NEW, AT FIRST, AT END OF, AT LAST. We must conclude at statements with
Endat.
14. Write the syntax of Read command using the index with an example.
To read the contents of an internal table for further processing, you can use either the
loop or the read statement.
Read table <itab> [into <wa>] Index <idx>.
15. What is the significance of transporting option?
With the transporting option the system transports only the components <f1> to <fn>
from the work area into the internal table <itab>.
16. What is the use of Modify Command?
If we want to update the internal table with the contents of the header line, we use the
modify statement in ABAP/4module.
Note: There is a dynpro-language modifies statement and ABAP/4 modify statement. Do
not use the dynpro-language modify statement.
17. What is the use of Initial Line option in Insert command?
Instead of <wa> INTO, you can use the INITIAL LINE INTO option which adds a line
initialized with the correct value for its type to the value.
18. Write the syntax to delete adjacent duplicate records from an internal table itab.
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATE ENTERIES FROM <itab> [COMPARING <comp>].
19. Write about Describe command.
Describe statement provides information about internal table. The LINES parameter
allows you to find out the number of existing table entries. The OCCURS parameter
contains the OCCURS value as specified in the table definition.
20. Write the SORT statement for COUNTRY in ASCENDING and NAME1 in DESCENDING
order.
SORT <itab> COUNTRY ASCENDING NAME1 DESCENDING.
21. Mention and explain with syntax, commands used for INITIALISING an INTERNAL TABLE?
REFRESH, CLEAR, FREE.
REFRESH <itab>.
This statement resets the internal table to the state before it was filled. Storage space is
not released. Header line remains unchanged.
CLEAR <itab>.
It will clear the header line value and the other value remains the same.
FREE <itab>.

This statement is used to reset an internal table and to release its memory directly. The
header line remains unchanged.
22. What are the differences between clear, refresh and free in internal tables.
Refer the above answer.

23. Difference between move and move-corresponding.
If we want to copy the entire content of the internal table or if we want to copy a
particular field then we use MOVE statement.
If we want to copy the field values field by field of one internal table to the other then we
use MOVE-CORRESPONDING.

24. Explain INTERNAL TABLE and its uses?
Internal tables exist only at runtime of a program. It can be viewed as snap shot of the
Database table, and consists of header line (work area) and contains some rows and
columns of that table at runtime.
Uses:
a. For table calculation of subsets of database tables.
b. For example read a certain part or more of database tables into an internal table.
c. For calculating totals for ranked list.
d. To reorganize table contents or database tables according to the needs of the program.
e. You can read data from one or more database tables into an internal table for creating
lists. At runtime of your program, you can then access this data directly, without having
to start the time consuming database scan for each program call.

25. To reference a single field from an internal table, specify the name of the internal table
followed by the field name.
READ TABLE <itab> [INTO <wa>] WITH KEY <key>.
READ TABLE <itab> [INTO <wa>] WITH KEY <key> BINARY SEARCH.
If we use the BINARY SEARCH option, our internal table must be sorted in the order
specified in the key.
If the system finds more than one line that matches the specified key, it reads the line
with lowest index. Binary search is faster than the linear search. Therefore, we should try
to keep internal table sorted and use the BINARY SEARCH option wherever possible.

26. Find out the errors in the Following Program and identify the names of Work area, header
line, base table name and Internal table name.

4. List the control break events available in ABAP/4 in loop control.

Syntax
AT <line>.
<Statement block>
ENDAT.
The line condition <line>, at which the statement block within AT - ENDAT is processed, can be:

<line> Meaning
FIRST First line of the internal table
LAST Last line of the internal table
NEW <f> Beginning of a group of lines with the same contents in the field <f> and in the
fields left of <f>
END Of <f> End of a group of lines with the same contents in the field <f> and in the fields left
of <f>

5. Explain the flow in flow logic and mention all the events.
PBO modules: modules that are called before displaying the screen
PAI modules: modules that are called in response to the user input

6. What are all the events controlling flow of ABAP/4 programs.
The following events occur at runtime of a typical report program which, uses logical
databases:

Event keyword Event
INITIALIZATION Point before the selection screen is displayed
AT SELECTION-SCREEN Point after processing user input on the selection screen while the
selection screen is still active
START-OF-SELECTION Point after processing the selection screen
GET <table> Point at which the logical database offers a line of the database
table <table>.
GET <table> LATE Point after processing all tables, which are hierarchically
subordinate to the database table <table> in the structure of the
logical database.
END-OF-SELECTION Point after processing all lines offered by the logical database.

The following events occur during the processing of the output list of a report program:

Event keyword Event
TOP-OF-PAGE Point during list processing when a new page is started
END-OF-PAGE Point during list processing when a page is ended
You can use these keywords to improve the layout of the output
list. For a description, see Creating Lists.

At PAI, the program must loop again, to transfer screen table fields back to the program. During
this looping, the program can use SY_LOOPC to find out how many rows were transferred.
SY_LOOPC is a system variable telling the total number of rows currently showing in the
display.
*&---------------------------------------------------------------*
*& Module SET_LINE_COUNT INPUT
*&---------------------------------------------------------------*
MODULE SET_LINE_COUNT INPUT.
LINE-COUNT = SY-LOOPC.
ENDMODULE

Transaction TZ60 lets the user press function keys (F21-F24) to scroll the display. The system
handles scrolling with the scroll bars automatically, but not scrolling with function keys. So PAI
for screen 200 must implement function-key scrolling explicitly:
MODULE USER_COMMAND_0200 INPUT.
CASE OK_CODE.
* WHEN 'CANC'...
* WHEN 'EXIT'...
* WHEN 'BACK'...
* WHEN 'NEW'...
WHEN 'P--'.
CLEAR OK_CODE.

PERFORM PAGING USING 'P-'.
WHEN 'P+'.
CLEAR OK_CODE.
PERFORM PAGING USING 'P+'.
WHEN 'P++'.
CLEAR OK_CODE.
PERFORM PAGING USING 'P++'.
ENDCASE.
ENDMODULE.

The PAGING routine causes the system to scroll the display by re-setting the table control field
TOP_LINE to a new value. The TOP_LINE field tells the LOOP statement where to start looping
at PBO.
*&---------------------------------------------------------------*
*& Form PAGING

8. Write a program including flow logic for process on Value Request for spfli-carrid.

9. What are the difference types of messages available and their usage?
A (Abend):
The system displays a message of this message type in a dialog window. After the user
confirms the message using ENTER, the system terminates the entire transaction (for
example SE38).
E (Error) or W (Warning):
The system displays a message of this message type in the status line. After the user
chooses ENTER, the system acts as follows:
- While creating the basic list, the system terminates the report.
- While creating a secondary list, the system terminates the corresponding processing
block and keeps displaying the previous list level.
I (Information):
The system displays a message of this message type in a dialog window. After the user
chooses ENTER, the system resumes processing at the current program position.
S (Success):
The system displays a message of this message type on the output screen in the status
line of the currently created list.

10. In the screen if you want to give your own documentation for a database field what are all
the steps involved.

11. For a non-database field explain the above.

12. Difference between On chain, On chain input and On chain request.
To make the module calls in a CHAIN conditional, there are two options:
ON CHAIN-INPUT
Similar to ON INPUT. The ABAP/4 module is called if any one of the fields in the chain
contains a value other than its initial value (blanks or nulls).
ON CHAIN-REQUEST
This condition functions just like ON REQUEST, but the ABAP/4 module is called if any
one of the fields in the chain changes value.

13. What is the use of At exit-command?
Sometimes you want the system to carry out certain processing logic before it performs
automatic field checks. For example, if the user wants to exit from the screen, there is no
reason to make him or her enter data in the required-input fields.
The flow logic keywords AT EXIT-COMMAND are a special addition to the MODULE
statement in the flow logic. AT EXIT-COMMAND lets you call a module before the
system executes the automatic field checks:

16. PGM SAPDBXCE SCREEN - 9001.
PGM - SAPDBZER SCREEN - 9000.

How to call the screen 9000 of program SAPDBZER from screen 9001 of program SAPDBXCE.

17. For a process on value request program can a List in Dialog box Menu be attached? No

18. How many levels are available both in horizontal and vertical of a menu?
You can maintain up to six menus in a menu bar. The system automatically supplies
two additional menus: System and Help
These menus hold the last two positions on every SAP menu bar.

19. Explain the usage of functions Dynp_Value_Read & Dynp_Value_Update?
First fetch the current field values for the screen via DYNP_VALUES_READ (if you need
them).
F4 values help is displayed according to field values already on the screen. After a
selection has been made via F4 and the value for the selected field has been returned,
values for other fields that are dependent on this field can also be passed to the screen.
The function module includes the functionality of DYNP_VALUES_READ and
DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE.

20. How to change the attributes of a screen element in runtime to disable? Give syntax.
L0OP AT SCREEN.
CHECK SCREEN-GROUP1 = 'MOD'.
SCREEN-INPUT = '0'.
SCREEN-INIVISIBLE = '0'.
MODIFY SCREEN.
ENDLOOP.

21. In flow logic how do you restrict the values that can be entered for a screen field?
SCREEN-OUTPUT = '0'. (PBO Module)

22. What are the components of Dynpro or Screen?
If you choose... You can...
Fullscreen editor maintain a screen's layout
Dict/program fields copy Dictionary or program fields into your screen layout
Field list maintain a screen's Dictionary or program fields
Screen attributes maintain a screen's attributes
Flow logic edits a screen's flow logic

23. What is the program type of ABAP/4 Editor Program used in Screen programming?
Module Pool (M)

In the Screen Painter, if you display the field list for a screen, the OK_CODE field is
always the last field in the list. This field is initially nameless, and has field type OK. You
can give this field any name, but it is traditionally called the OK_CODE. Whatever you
name it, you must also include a definition for it as a global field in your module pool:

The program declaration for an OK_CODE is four characters long.
It should be always Upper case and within quotes.

25. Why the 'Process on Value-request' is used? What user action triggers the 'POV' event?
To get all the possible values for a particular field by pressing F4.

26. What is the sequence of control flow between Dynpro and ABAP/4?
1. In the PBO event, the statement MODULE STATUS_0100 passes control to the
corresponding ABAP/4 module.
In the ABAP/4 module pool, the screen to be displayed receives a menu interface.

2. After processing the module STATUS_0100, control returns to the flow logic.
For the PBO event, no further processing is required. The system display the screen
and receives entries from the user. The entries are:
- the values for the fields Company and Flight number.
- the four-character function code that tells which pushbutton the user activated.

3. The user input triggers the PAI event. The first PAI statement passes control to
the ABAP/4 module USER_COMMAND_0100.
Module USER_COMMAND_0100 processes the requests of the user. In our
example, only one request is possible: displaying the flight data for the specified
flight. The ABAP/4 statement SELECT retrieves the data from the database and
displays it.

4. After processing MODULE USER_COMMAND_0100, control returns to PAI.
This terminates the dialog.

27. What are the types of screen elements available?
The screen elements available to you are:
1. Texts
2. Entries
3. Radio buttons
4. Checkboxes
5. Pushbuttons
6. Boxes
7. Subscreens
8. Tables
9. Status icons

28. Why a 'Transaction code' is required for a screen?
To call all the screens or to run the complete flow logic.

29. What are the two methods used to move between the different screens?
LEAVE TO SCREEN 0. or SET SCREEN 0.
LEAVE SCREEN.

To program field checks in ABAP/4, you use the FIELD and CHAIN flow logic language
statements. The following form of the FIELD statement lets you call ABAP/4 modules
that make field checks:
FIELD <field> MODULE <module>.
The FIELD statement may contain more than one MODULE call:

FIELD <field>: MODULE <module1>,
MODULE <module2>.

31. What is the statement used to do a multiple field check and its syntax?
You can also specify more than one field in a FIELD statement. This is especially useful
when you want to chain field-checks together with the CHAIN statement. For example,
both forms of the FIELD statement below are allowed:

CHAIN.
FIELD <field1>.
FIELD <field2>.
FIELD: <field3>, <field4>, ... <fieldn>.
MODULE <module1>.
MODULE <module2>.
ENDCHAIN.

32. What is the priority of Field checks over the PAI event?
The time of transfer is important because you should not use a field in an ABAP/4
module before it has been transferred from the screen. If you do, the ABAP/4 field will
contain the value it had before the user entered screen input. This value can be either
the value left over from the last screen, or even an invalid value.

33. What user action triggers the 'POH' event?
F1
34. Why the 'Process on Help-request' is used? How it is coded in the 'Flow Logic'?
Using the PROCESS ON HELP-REQUEST event.

If the PROCESS ON HELP-REQUEST event does not exist in the process logic of a
screen, the documentation of the field in the ABAP/4 Dictionary is taken as a basis. If the
POH event does exist, then it is executed whenever F1 is pressed for a specified field.
For example, a data element additional text for a particular field could be implemented
as follows:
PROCESS ON HELP-REQUEST.
FIELD XY WITH 'Number'.
Data element additional texts can also be incorporated into the F1 help through the use
of a variable:
FIELD XY WITH <var>.
The data element additional text contained in the <var> variable is displayed for the XY
field.
In the case that the data element additional text is not known until the F1 key is pressed,
then the additional text to be displayed can be fetched in a module and then written to a
variable:
FIELD XY MODULE XYZ WITH <variable>.

Sometimes you want the system to carry out certain processing logic before it performs
automatic field checks. For example, if the user wants to exit from the screen, there is no
reason to make him or her enters data in the required-input fields.
The flow logic keywords AT EXIT-COMMAND are a special addition to the MODULE
statement in the flow logic. AT EXIT-COMMAND lets you call a module before the
system executes the automatic field checks:
**** Screen flow logic: ****
MODULE EXIT AT EXIT-COMMAND.

MODULE EXIT INPUT.
CASE OK_CODE.
WHEN 'CANC'.
CLEAR OK_CODE.
SET SCREEN 0. LEAVE SCREEN.
ENDCASE.
ENDMODULE.

36. What is the function of 'SUPPRESS DIALOG' Command?
SUPPRESS
Basic form
SUPPRESS DIALOG.
Effect
Suppresses output of the current screen.
However, flow controls continues normally and dialog resumes on the next screen.
Note
SUPPRESS DIALOG should only be used in a PBO (PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT)
module.

37. What is the significance and what are the requirements in creating a 'Subscreen'?
A Subscreen is an independent screen that is displayed in an area of another ("main") screen.
You might want to use a Subscreen to vary certain fields in a main screen. For instance, you
can define an area in a main screen where supplementary fields appear, depending on the input
the user makes in a previous screen.
To use a Subscreen, you must call it in the flow logic (both PBO and PAI) of the main screen.
The CALL SUBSCREEN statement tells the system to execute the PBO and PAI events for the
Subscreen as part of the PBO or PAI events of the main screen. You program the ABAP/4
modules for a Subscreen exactly as you would program modules for a main screen.
The flow logic of your main program should look as follows:
PROCESS BEFORE OUPTPUT.
...
CALL SUBSCREEN <area> INCLUDING '<program>' '<screen>'.
...
...
CALL SUBSCREEN <area>.
...
Area is the name of the subscreen area you defined in your main screen. This name can have
up to ten characters. Program is the name of the program to which the subscreen belongs and
screen is the subscreen's number.

Table controls and step loops are objects for screen table display that you add to a screen in the
Screen Painter. From a programming standpoint, table controls and step loops are almost
exactly the same. Table controls are simply enhanced step loops that display data with the Look
and Feel of a table widget in a desktop application. With table controls, the user can:
Scroll through the table vertically and horizontally
Re-size the width of a column
Scroll within a field (when field contents are wider than the field)
Select table rows or columns
Re-order the sequence of columns
Save the current display settings for future use
Table controls also offer special formatting features (some automatic, some optional) that make
tables easier to look at and use. These are for example:
Automatic table resizing (vertical and horizontal) when the user resizes the window
Separator lines between rows and between columns (vertical and horizontal)
Column header fields for all columns

*One feature of step loops is that their table rows can span more than one line on the screen.
By contrast, the rows in a table control are always single lines, but can be very long. (Table
control rows are scrollable.)
In general, many of the features provided by the table control are handled locally by your
system's SAPGUI front end. You don't have to program any of these features (except vertical
scrolling) in your ABAP/4 transaction.

39. What are all the min. requirements to be met to process a Table Control?
***SCREEN FLOW LOGIC***
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT:
LOOP AT INTTAB CURSOR TABCNTL-CURRENT_LINE.
ENDLOOP.
LOOP AT INTTAB.
MODULE MODIFY_INTTAB.
ENDLOOP.

***ABAP/4 MODULE***
MODULE MODIFY_INTTAB.
MODIFY INTTAB INDEX COUNT.
ENDMODULE.

In ABAP prg, Controls: tabctl type tableview using screen nnn.

40. What is the purpose of 'Line-selection variable' in a table control?
Indicator: displays line-selection column. This is a column of ordinary check boxes that can be
examined in the ABAP/4 program. The system sets a box to X when the user clicks on it.

41. What is the system variable used to identify the index of currently processed row in a
table control?
SY-STEPL
42. What are the two ways of branching to List-Processing from Dialog Program?

3. Explain parameters, select-options & selection criteria.
Field defined with the ABAP/4 statement PARAMETERS.
You can use parameters to pass values entered on the selection screen by the user to
the report just called.
ABAP/4 data type used to pass values to a report.
The values are used in the report to check the contents of other data fields. The result of
this check affects the program flow. Selection options are defined using the SELECT-
OPTIONS statement.

4. Whether we should put Endselect for Select single * from SPFLI.
No
5. What is use of Text-elements in reports?
Text that appears on the selection screen or the output screen of an ABAP/4 report.
Text elements are used to store texts that are displayed on the selection screens or
output screens of ABAP/4 reports, but are not hard-coded in programs.
The different types of text elements include
Report or program titles
List headings
Column headings
Selection texts
Text symbols
7. Explain the use of SUBMIT command with example.
SUBMIT Rep.

Symbols:
You can output certain characters as symbols using the addition ... AS SYMBOL . You
should only address these characters with their system-defined names. The include
<SYMBOL> (or the more comprehensive include <LIST> ) contains the relevant
identifiers as constants, e.g. SYM_PHONE , SYM_CIRCLE .
Example
INCLUDE <SYMBOL>.
WRITE: / SYM_RIGHT_HAND AS SYMBOL, " output as symbol
'Tip, Note',
SYM_LEFT_HAND AS SYMBOL. " output as symbol
Icons:
You can output certain characters as icons using the addition ...AS ICON . You should
only address these characters with their system-defined names. The include <ICON> (or
the more comprehensive include <LIST> ) contains the relevant identifiers as constants,
e.g. ICON_OKAY (see List of icons ).
Example
INCLUDE <ICON>.
WRITE: / ICON_OKAY AS ICON, "output as icon

Note
You can use the event " GET dbtab. " only once in the report.
Example
The program uses the logical database F1S which has a structure where the table
BOOKING appears below the table FLIGHT.

TABLES: SFLIGHT, SBOOK.
GET SFLIGHT.
WRITE: SFLIGHT-CARRID,
SFLIGHT-CONNID,
SLFIGHT-FLDATE,
SFLIGHT-PLANETYPE.
PUT dbtab.
This statement is only to be used in the access program of the logical database where
the table dbtab occurs. " PUT dbtab. " triggers the event " GET dbtab. " in the relevant
report. Then, it calls the PUT subroutines of the immediately following tables in the
structure, provided that GET events exist for subsequent tables in the report.

11. How to attach a logical database to a report and select records explain with e.g.

12. How do you enable the dynamic selection option on a logical database?
Dynamic Selections
Dynamic selections allow the user to define further selections for database accesses in
addition to the selection criteria already defined in the logical database selection include.
For performance reasons, selection criteria should be used with the CHECK statement
during a GET event in the report only for selections which are not table-specific (see
Leaving GET Events Conditionally ). Otherwise, the selection is not performed until after
the database access.
On the other hand, dynamic selections are already effective during the database access
in the logical database. To support dynamic selections for a database table <dbtab>, you
must specify the following statement in the selection include of the logical database:
SELECTION-SCREEN DYNAMIC SELECTIONS FOR TABLE <dbtab>.
In this case, the Dynamic selections pushbutton is displayed on the selection screen if
the table <dbtab> is used in the report (see also keyword documentation for
SELECTION-SCREEN). Pressing this button enables the user to enter dynamic
selections for the fields defined by the logical database (see also Selection Screens and
Logical Databases). The logical database program then can use these in dynamic
WHERE conditions when selecting data for the event keyword GET <dbtab> (see
Working with Dynamic Selections).

In the ABAP/4 Development Workbench, the user can define the field list for the dynamic
selections in the form of a logical database selection view. These views are identified by
their origin ('SAP' or 'CUS' for 'CUStomer'), the logical database name, and a name
which, for the functionality with selection screens described here, must always be
'STANDARD'. The system uses selection views with origin 'SAP' only if none with origin
'CUS' have been created. This way, users can define the best logical database selection
views for their requirements.

The system transfers also the values of report internal selection criteria to the logical
database, if they are defined for the colums of a database table that is designated for
dynamic selections (siehe Self-defined Selection Criteria and Logical Databases)

13. Specify the 3 main Components of a Logical Database.
A logical database consists of at least the following three components:
Structure
The structure is the basic component of a logical database. It determines the structure of
the other components and the behavior of the logical database at runtime.
Structure of Logical Databases
In general, the structure of logical databases reflects the foreign key
dependencies of hierarchical tables in the SAP System (see also Accessing Data
Using Logical Databases).
Logical databases have a hierarchical structure, which can be defined as follows:

There is just one node at the highest level. This is known as the root node.
Each node can have one or several branches.
Each node is derived from one other node.

Nodes must be defined structures in the ABAP/4 Dictionary. Normally, these are
the structures of database tables, which the logical database reads and passes
to ABAP/4 reports for further evaluation. However, it is also possible, and
sometimes useful, to use ABAP/4 Dictionary structures without an underlying
database.

Selections
This component determines the user interface of each report. Its layout is usually
determined by the structure. You can adjust and extend the selections to suit your
requirements.
Logical Database Selections

In a logical database, you can define input fields on the selection screen with the
SELECT-OPTIONS and PARAMETERS statements. This is achieved with the
help of a special include program known as the selection include. In each
ABAP/4 report, you can extend these logical database selections by defining
report-specific selections. All report-specific selections are displayed after the
database-specific selections.

Database program
The database program is a collection of subroutines, which select the data and pass it to
the report. The layout of the database program is determined by both the structure and
the selections. You can adjust and extend the database program to suit your
requirements.
Database Program of a Logical Database

14. What is the Function of the selection screen?

15. Mention the different event Keywords used in Reports with Logical Database.

16. Explain the significance of GET LATE with an example.
To start a processing block at the moment after the system has processed all database
tables of a logical database those are hierarchically inferior to a specific database table.

17. Give the advantages of having a report with a Logical Database.
When using logical databases, most reports benefit from the following features:
An easy-to-use standard user interface

hierarchical data view determined by the application logic.

INTERACTIVE REPORTING

Briefly answer the following questions:

1. Explain Interactive Reporting?
Interactive reporting allows the user to participate actively in retrieving and presenting
data during the session. Instead of one extensive and detailed list, with interactive
reporting you create a condensed basic list from which the user can call detailed
information by positioning the cursor and entering commands. Interactive reporting thus
reduces information retrieval to the data actually required.

Detailed information is presented in secondary lists. A secondary list may either overlay
the basic list completely or appear in an additional dialog window on the same screen.
The secondary list can itself be interactive again.
Apart from creating secondary lists, interactive reporting also allows you to call
transactions or other reports from lists. These programs then use values displayed in
the list as input values. The user can, for example, call a transaction from within a list to
change the database table whose data is displayed in the list.

2. Explain briefly about the Events Used in Interactive Reports?
Events for Interactive Lists
The following events are specific for the context of interactive lists:
AT LINE-SELECTION
AT PF<nn>
AT USER-COMMAND

3. How do you store contents of the selected line?
You use the HIDE technique while creating a list level to store line-specific information
for later use.
HIDE <f>.
This statement stores the contents of variable <f> in relation to the current output line
(system field SY-LINNO) internally in the so-called HIDE area. The variable <f> must
not necessarily appear on the current line.

4. How do you find the Level of the list created during the current Event
SY-LSIND Index of the list created during the current event (basic list = 0)*

5. How to avoid Unnecessary Branching to secondary list after selecting an invalid line.
To explicitly specify the list level into which you want to place output, set the SY-LSIND
field. The system accepts only index values which correspond to existing list levels. It
then deletes all existing list levels whose index is greater or equal to the index you
specify. For example, if you set SY-LSIND to 0, the system deletes all secondary lists
and overwrites the basic list with the current secondary list.
AT LINE-SELECTION.

6. Mention the system fields for secondary lists?
System Fields for Secondary Lists
With each interactive event, the system automatically sets the following system fields:

System field Information
SY-LSIND Index of the list created during the current event (basic list = 0)*
SY-LISTI Index of the list level from which the event was triggered
SY-LILLI Absolute number of the line from which the event was triggered
SY-LISEL Contents of the line from which the event was triggered
SY-CUROW Position of the line in the window from which the event was triggered
(counting starts with 1)
SY-CUCOL Position of the column in the window from which the event was triggered
(counting starts with 2)
SY-CPAGE Page number of the first displayed page of the list from which the event
was triggered
SY-STARO Number of the first line of the first page displayed of the list from which
the event was triggered (counting starts with 1). Possibly, a page header
occupies this line.
SY-STACO Number of the first column displayed in the list from which the event was
triggered (counting starts with 1)
SY-UCOMM Function code that triggered the event
SY-PFKEY Status of the displayed list
