Moderate way of Debugging for Technical Consultants – “Art of Removing Errors”

What is Debugging??? 

◉ Identify Error.

◉ Identify the Error Location.

◉ Analyze Error.

◉ Prove the Analysis.

◉ Cover the Lateral Damage.

Transportation Management : Get Freight settlement documents using selection options

In this blog post, we will learn how to get the freight settlement documents using query.

Freight settlement documents are created to perform freight settlement with your suppliers or carriers. In document flow, Freight settlement documents are created after Freight Order/Booking.

Suppose our requirement is to read all the Freight settlement documents which are in status Accruals posted and those are posted in a particular date range.

Common performance issues with the inline declarations

The Inline declaration provides an effortless way to create data objects and better readability to code readers. Since SAP NetWeaver ABAP 7.4 introduced this new feature, it has been the preferred way over explicit data declaration.

We will always have to consider the data volume for the internal tables to avoid possible performance issues. It is more critical when we use the inline declaration because it creates only standard-type tables. Performance issues happen if the internal table created by the inline declaration contains many rows and we access it inside a loop.

ABAP Restful Application Programming : Real Time validation on field input in transactional Fiori Application

Introduction:

Main aim of any application is to keep the transactional document error free. That says how important is error handling and validations in the application process.

In this blogpost, I will explain how we can implement real time validations on field input in a transactional fiori application with ABAP RAP framework. Instead of executing the validations at the save in the end.

Problem statement :

In the traditional approach ( link ), the validations can only be executed at SAVE in the end. The disadvantage in this approach is that inconsistent values have already been entered and the document becomes inconsistent. if it is a draft enabled application, then these inconsistent values have already been stored in draft tables and transactional buffers. This is additional work for the user to clear all those errors at the end. As a user, he/she always expects to display the error on field input.

Reverse Loop finally possible with STEP addition for ABAP Internal Tables

Are you tired of taking the secondary road to your destination? You might feel like this if you’re writing DO or WHILE statements with a READ ... INDEX to loop backwards across the lines of an internal table in ABAP. And if your internal table is a hashed table… you’re almost good to go to turn around. The good thing in brief: You’ve been heard! With SAP BTP ABAP Environment 2202 the new addition STEP is introduced. STEP combines the loop order with the step size – you’re getting two in one. If you want to take the main road to your destination, follow this blog to get most out of the new addition.

Basics

While the main use case for STEP might be the LOOP statement, there’re more statements, expressions, and operators to use the addition with. But first, we’ll look at the usage of STEP itself: The loop order and step size are defined by STEP n where n has a positive or negative sign for the loop order and where n is a numeric expression position of operand type i for the step size. For example, if you wanted to loop across every second table line in a backward order, you’d simply write STEP -2. Other statements, expressions, and operators to use STEP with are: FOR ... IN, DELETE, INSERT, APPEND, NEW, and VALUE. We’ll go through them step by step. (Want a quick overview? Scroll down.)

How to Download Data from Internal Table to an Excel File

This blog post is explaining all about how to download data from internal table to an excel file.

Requirement: On selection screen user will give the input as country name and file name in which user want to download the data to an excel file based on the given country name.

Step 1: Design Selection Screen. On selection screen declare country and file name as parameter.

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK b1 WITH FRAME.

  PARAMETERS:p_land TYPE kna1-land1,

             p_file TYPE rlgrap-filename.

SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK b1.

Maintaining Long text in the EWM Product Master

In some cases, we require to maintain the texts related to the products maintained in the warehouse. These texts can be any such as the how the product maintained, customer feedback, quality/inspection notes, vendor feedback etc.

Using this simple but powerful functionality, the long text can be maintained in EWM product master by enhancing the screen.

This article provides a high-level overview of the custom solution to maintain the long text in the product master.

This functionality can be achieved using ‘EEWB’ functionality not with ‘Custom Fields and Logic App‘.

CDS Projection Views in ABAP CDS: What’s Your Flavor

Since kernel release 7.83, CDS projection views are available in different flavors, specified using the syntax statement PROVIDER CONTRACT. Each flavor has a different feature set and different syntax checks. This blog post describes the available types of CDS projection views and where to find further details.

SAP to SFTP simple Setup with a Windows Host

The aim of this blog is to give an easy way to setup an SFTP connection between a SAP system and an SFTP server.

Main problematic

As Said, SAP does not cover SFTP using SAPFTP. According to note 795131, the best solution is to use a third party software to do it and then call the third party software from SAP (using SM49/69 host command). Still, if the SAP system is running on a Unix Based system, everything is fine, because the syntax offered by Unix allow you to run SFTP command in Oneliner (using | eventually), but if the SAP system is running on a Windows NT based system, problems arise.

Getting Started With ABAP: PART 2

This is the second blog post in this series. Here is the previous blog post Get Started with ABAP Programming From Scratch

In the first blog post, we learn how to create package and how to write your first program.

In this blog post you will learn how to print multiple text on same line and multiple line as well as how to give comments.

In previous blog post we have seen how to create package and program from transaction SE80. So, once you open SE80 (Transaction Code for ABAP Editor) you have already created the package so need to create it every time. Just right click on existing package name and create new program.
