1: What is the different between sap memory and ABAP Marry

Ans : SAP Memory Using SAP memory. User-specific memory retained for the duration of the
session. Can only be used for simple field values.
ABAP Memory Using ABAP memory. Can be used to transfer data between internal modi. Can
be used to transfer any ABAP/4 variables ( Fields, strings, internal tables, complex objects)
OR
SAP memory is global memory. SET Parameter & GET parameter. Can be shared with
terminal's
external
session...
ABAP memory is a memory area in one external session only and can not be shared betn
external session. You can create 20 internal session in one external session.
2: How can v get the error massage in Call Transaction method
Ans: In call transaction syntax there is one option there you can specify message table. In
which u will get all messages [MESSTAB].
3 : What is the mandatory in for all entry options

7: What is the different between at new and On change
Ans: At new is fired when any change of left most field
On change is fired when the value of field is change.
8 : How to delete the duplicate record from internal table
Ans : With use if delete ageist command we can delete the duplicate record from the internal
table.
9 : Which type of Internal Tables are in the SAP?
Ans : Standard Internal table, Shorted Internal table , Has Internal Table.
Key for internal table
There are two kinds of key for internal tables-the standard key (default key)and a userdefined key
All non-numeric fields that are not themselves internal tables make default key of the
internal table Default key consists of all of its non-numerical columns that are not
references or themselves internal table
The user-defined key can contain any columns of the internal table that are not
references or themselves internal tables Internal tables with a user-defined key tables
11. What is header line?
Ans: Header line is a work area of an internal table.

12. What is search help?

Ans. A search help object describes the path to find out all possible values of object There are
two types of search help available Collective Search Help & Linear Search Help.
13. What is Type pool?
Ans: TYPE POOL is a data dictionary object that contains user defined data types
To define TYPE POOL in data dictionary use statement TYPE-POOL <type pool name> Under this
statement we are defining all user defined data type with type with type TYPES statement. To
use all user defined data types defined in type pool, we can include that type pool with TYPEPOOLS <type pool name> statement.
14. Describe the sub-objects of the layout set
Ans. Header, Character format, Paragraph format, Page, Windows, Page window.
15. What HIDE command will do?
Ans. HIDE statement allows you to store field contents for a particular list line in a special
memory area. For each field the system stores the field name and the value.
16.What are RANGES?
Ans. RANGES defines an internal table similar to a selection criterion defining using the SELECTOPTIONS statement . SIGN,OPTION,LOW,HIGH
17what is difference between RANGES and SELECT-OPTIONS?
Ans. SELECTOPTIONS creates selection field on the selection screen where RANGES does not.
18. What is the first and last event that is processed in a report?
Ans: INITIALIZATION & END- OF SELECTION.
19. What is the standard line-size and line-count of a list?
Ans. Line size contains 255 characters, while line-count contains 60,000 lines
20. Can there be more than one start-of-selection in a report?
Ans. YES. The code created in each start-of selection would be combined together in one single
processing block and would be executed.
21. What is control-break logie?
Ans. When we are sorting an internal table in the same field order, control levels are created for
internal table and preceding field has higher control over processing than remaining fields. And
depending upon control level events, statements between AT/ENDAT events will be executed.
22. Name the events used for control break logic?
Ans. AT FIRST, AT NEW, AT END OF, AT LAST. Out of these, AT FIRST and AT LAST will be
executed only once.
23. List the sequence of events in classical reporting?
Ans. INITIALIZATION, AT SELECTION-SCREEN, START OF SELECTION,TOP-OF-PAGE, ENDOF-PAGE, END OF SELECTION.
24. What is the value range of type I data number?
Ans. Its 231 to 231-1.
25. What type of limitation do type N fields have?
Ans. These digits are not used for calculation. It cannot contain any character other than digits.

26. What is Packed Number?

Ans. With packed fields, two digits are stored in one byte. The half byte of the last byte
contains the sign.
27. When do you use STATICS statement?
Ans. We can define local variable using LOCAL, DATA or STATIC statements. It will be local to a
subroutine.
Variables defined by LOCAL, are accessible from outside the subroutine, variables
defined using DATA or STATIC are not. So, if the subroutine calls another subroutine,
variable defined using LOCAL are visible from called subroutine. Variables defined using
STATIC or DATA are not
For variable defined using LOCAL or DATA memory is allocated each time the subroutine
is called. Memory is free when the subroutine ends. So the values within it are lost For
STATIC memory is retained.
28. When do you use CONSTANTS statement?
Ans. The CONSTATNS statement defines global and local constants. You can not change the
value of a constant once it has been defined.
29. What does COLLECT commands do?
Ans. COLLECT statement will search for key entry in the internal table, if it find that key it will
add numeric fields of header line/work area to that internal table record/row else append new
record/row.
30. What does APPEND commands do?
Ans. It is used to add new record/row at the end of internal table.
31. What does REFRESH commands do?
Ans. It is used to delete all the records/row of internal table.
32. What is the difference between MOVE and MOVE-CORRESPONDING?
Ans. With the help of MOVE You can assign a single component at a time , while component-bycomponent assignment can be done through MOVE-CORRESPONCING.
33. What is interactive reporting? What are the different ways to implement it?
Interactive reporting helps you to create easy-to-read lists. You can display an overview list
first that contains general information and provide the user with the possibility os choosing
detailed information that you display on further lists.
Interactive reporting can be implemented using following events:
Event keyword
AT LINE-SELECTION
AT USER-COMMAND
AT PF (n)

Event
Event triggered by the user double clicking a line or
selecting it using F2
Event triggered by the user selecting any option
provided in the GUI Status
Event triggered by the user pressing function key

What is module pool?

Module pool is a type M program that is used for dialog programming
Module pool contains modules that contain application logic of a transaction and they are
called by separately programmed screen flow logic
It is not possible to run Module pool program directly on its own. We should assign a
transaction code to dialog program and then we can execute the program using that tcode only.

36 What is Inner join and Outer join?

Ans. I inner join; only those rows are selected from primary and secondary tables where rows
from primary table have at least one corresponding row in the secondary table. Whereas in left
outer join, it is not necessary for a record in the primary table to have a corresponding record
in the secondary table, It is still displayed.
37. Explain Type of Tables
Transparent tables: Has one-to-one relation with database table Database table name is
same as ABAP data dictionary table name. Same number of fields with same names.
Pooled tables: Has many to one relation with the database table. Different number of fields
can be there with different names. It is used to store large number of tables with small size.
Cluster tables: Many to one relation with the database table. Different number of fields can be
there with different names. It is used to store small number of tables with the large size.

38. What is ALE Technology?

Ans. ALE is SAPS technology that provides integration between SAP to SAP and SAP to NonSAP system. ALE allows efficient and reliable communication between distributed processes
across physically separate SAP system. It is based on application-to-application integration
using messaging architecture; a message defines data that is exchanged between two
processes.
39. What kinds of scenario we are using ALE?
Ans. (1) Geographical Location: Where the companies that implemented SAP in several parts
of the world. (2) Consolidation: A company could have several business units that share sane
common resources. E.g. a company with several sales operations could share a common
warehouse and shipping system.(3) System Capacity: System capacity such as database size,
memory requirements, no of concurrent users and network bandwidth may force you to split a
system, Like you have implemented MM module on one system and SD module on other
system required transferring masters data like material master. (4) Upgrading a module
separately: With SAP delivering new modules and enhanced functionality in every release,
some business units may require the latest release of the SAP system while others continue to
work with an older release.
(5) Data Security: In the sensitive projects, you may be required to separate the classified
information from the unclassified.

40. What is Idoe?

Ans. Idoe are containers that hold data exchanged between the two systems.
41. What is outbound process?
Ans. The outbound ALE process in SAP sends data to one or more SAP systems. This process
involves four steps. (1) Identify the need for sending an Idoe. E.g. when a material master is
created, it consults the ALE layer starts the process to send material master data to the
interested party.(2) Generate the master Idoe: The document or master data to be sent is read
from the database and formatted in to an Idoe format is called a master Idoe.(3) Generate
communication Idoe: Separate Idoe are generated might demand a different version or a
subset of master Idoe, are called communication Idoe. The recipients are determined from
customer distribution model. (4) Deliver the communication Idoe: Delivers Idoe to the
appropriate recipients using an asynchronous communication method, allowing the sending
system to continue its processing without having to wait for the destination system to receive
or process the Idoe.
42. What is Inbound process?
Ans. The inbound process receives an Idoe & creates a document in the system. This process
involves 3. Steps (1) Store the Idoe in the database: Idoe is stored in the database. Then Idoe
goes through a basic integrity check & syntax check. (2) Invoke the posting module: The
control information in the Idoe & configuration tables are read to determine the posting
program. The Idoe is then transferred to its posting program. The Idoe is then transferred to its
posting program. (3) Create the document: The posting program read the Idoe data and then
creates a document in the system. The results are logged in the Idoe.
43. If outbound process is successful what is the status code of Idoe?
Ans. 3-Data passed to port okay. &
12-Idoe has been successfully transferred. Program Name: RBDMOIND
44. If inbound process is successful what is the status code of Idoe?
Ans.53-Application document posted

45. What is the standard function module to distribute Idoe on ALE layer?
Ans. MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE
46. What are the basic elements of the idoe?
Ans. Idoc is made up of 3 type of records (1) CONTROL RECORD (one) (2) DATA RECORD (M)
(3) STATUS RECORD(M)
47. Are we using workflow anywhere in ALE-Idoe technology?
Ans. Yes, in error handling.
48. For SAP to Non-SAP anything special required?
Ans. Yes, Converter or Translator

49. What are the major uses of ALE-Idoe?

Ans. (1) Master Data Distribution (2) Application data
Not used for COTROL Data
50. Methods of data posting in R/3 for ALE-Idoe?
Ans. (1) Direct Insert (2) CALL TRANSACTION
51. What is a IDOC Type?
Ans. IDOC Type represents s the definition of the IDOC, which defines the structure and the
format of the data that is being transferred. IDOC can be seen as an instance of and IDOC
Type.
52. How backward compatibility is supported in ALE-Idoc?
Ans. Segments are version controlled. A new version of a segment always contains fields from
previous version. And additional fields that are added in newer version. So segment can
communicate with back level system by blanking out new fields. The version specified in
segment release, in Idoc type field of the partner profile is read to determine version of the
segment.
Like segments, Idoc types are also version controlled. A new version of Idoc always contains
segment of previous version. And additional segments added in the new version So, Idoc can
communicate with back level system by deleting segments that do not exist in the version
specified. The Idoc type field of partner profile can determine version.
53. Data in IDOC will be stored in which format?
Ans. Data in IDOC will be stored in character format
54. What is BAPI?
Ans. External Applications can access SAP business Objects using standard interfaces (Methods
of SAP Objects) BAPIS are implemented through RFC enabled function modules.

54. How do you handle errors in your BDC Program?

Ans.
(1) Data Validation &error reporting
As a first step of data processing data should be validated depending upon transaction
requirement. On failure of validation error should be recorded in a log with meaningful
error messages.
(2) Data transfer success or failure & error reporting
On failure of data transfer, error should be recorded in a log with meaningful error
message.
(3)Error documentation
For each error occurred, documentation should be maintained with cause and cure of
error.
55. CALL TRANSACTION

58. What is TABLE CONTROL and STEP LOOP?
Ans. TABLE CONTROL and STEP LOOP are type of screen tables to display and use table data.
(A step loop id a repeated series of field blocks in a screen. Each block can contain one or more
fields, and can extend over more than one line on the screen.)
59. How can you define TANBLE CONTROL in ABAP program?
Ans. CONTROLS: <table control>TYPE TABLEVIEW USING SCREEN <screen no>
60. How can you process through TABLE CONTROL OR STEP LOOP?
Ans.
You must code a LOOP statement in both the PBO and PAI events for each table in your screen.
This is because the LOOP statement causes the screen fields to be copies back and forth between
the ABAP program and the screen field. For this reason, at least an empty LOOPENDLOOP must be
there.
Ex.Lopp At<internal table>
This statement loops through an internal table and the screen table row in parallel.
