Mastering SAP ABAP: A Step-by-Step Guide to Database and Projection Views

 Hello everyone, we are back again and we will start with the practical implementation of database view and projection view.

Creation of Database View :-

  • Step 1:- Go to se11 and select view radio button and give a name { ZAR_DATABASE_VIU } and click on create button.

  • Step 2 :- Select the database view radio button and press enter.



  • Step 3 :- provide the short description.

Requirement :- We have to create a database view which include our created Order header and order item table and it consists of following fields :-

    


  • Step 4:- In tables column pass the name order header table and click on relationship button { It will show the table which has relationship with order header table }.



  • Step 5:- Select the radio button and click on copy, now the screen will look like this.



  • Step 6:- Click on view fields where select table fields button, then the screen will look like this.



  • Step 7:- Select the first table and select any number of fields that you want in your database view and click on copy.



  • Step 8:-now click on table fields and select the second table and choose the remaining fields from item table.





  • Step 9:- save and activate the view.





  • Step 10:- Now for displaying the contents of this view, click on contents button and click on execute.





Creation of Projection View :-

Note :- We can only pass only one table in projection view, this view is only created to filter out certain amount of fields from the table.

  • Step 1:- go to se11 , select the view radio button and give a name and press enter → select the projection view radio button and press enter.
  • Step 2:- Write the table name in the basis table.

Requirements :- Show Order number, order date, delivery number, delivery date from order header table.

    


  • Step 3:- Pass the ZAR_HEADER in the basis table and click on table fields and select the above fields and click on copy button.



  • Step 4:- Save and activate the projection view.

        


  • You can click on contents tab or { CTRL + SHIFT + F10 } and click on execute to display the data present in the projection view.



Q. In which scenario the database view becomes the projection view ?

Ans :- If we are creating database view for single table, then in that case database view will become the projection view.

Thanx for being a part of this journey.

Next :- We will be creating maintenance view and help view.

Understanding Different Types of SAP Function Modules: Normal, RFC, and Update

  1. Normal/Regular Function Module :- It can be called inside the system. Here Pass by value + Pass by reference both is fine. 2. RFC Function Modules :- You can call from same system or from another possible. In RFC function module you can only have pass by value. In the same system if you are going to add the DESTINATION NONE’ while calling the RFC then it’ll be called in separate session. 3. UPDATE Function Modules :- This is generally used to update the database record. Update Function Module can be called from the same system. ( Background RFC / trfc / grfc ) This is used to achieve generally the SAP LUW. Some time we use from performance perspective also. When COMMIT WORK gets executed then Update starts getting executed. Important Questions on Update Function Modules :- When Update function Module gets Triggered ? ON COMMIT WORK IF a update function module gets failed, under which transaction we can see that ? OR What is the T-Code for moni

 Welcome back everyone, We were discussing about the interactive classical reports, so let’s continue it. Interactive Classical Reports- GET CURSOR :- In Interactive Classical Reports, GET CURSOR statement is used to create secondary list according to cursor position. The parameter FIELD provides the name of an output field. The parameter VALUE provide the output value. Syntax : GET CURSOR FIELD <lv_field> VALUE <lv_value>. In the above syntax - the field name and field value will be returned in to variables lv_field and lv_value respectively. Requirement :- If you remember, In our last two blog, We have been displaying the order header table in a basic list and order item table in the secondary list. We have used SY-LISEL and HIDE statements to achieve the requirement. Now, we have to use the get CURSOR to achieve the same to same requirement.

Mastering ABAP: A Step-by-Step Guide to Function Modules and Groups for Modularized Programming

Image
  Function Modules :- It is a modularization technique. The transaction code to create a function module is SE37. To create a function module, we need to create a function group. Function Group :- Function group is a container for the function modules. The transaction code to create a function group is SE80. A function group can store up to 99 function modules. Requirement :- let’s create a function module for sum of two numbers. 1. Creation of function group :- Step 1 :- Go to SE80 transaction code → Object Navigator. Step 2 :- From the drop down select function group. Step 3 :- Give a name of function group. Step 4 :- press enter. Step 5 :- Click on yes a popup screen will appear. Step 6 :- Give short description → press enter → Assign package and transaction request and press enter. Step 7 :- Right click on function group and click on activate to activate the function group. Step 8 :- You will see two includes, will be added after ac
