In BDC we have to take care of field mapping whereas field mapping is taken care by sap in
lsmw.
BDC is mostly used for customised data upload while LSMW is used for uploading Master
data.
In BDC we need to write large code but in LSMW small coding is needed.
BADI is business add ins, it is used to customize the standard business flow
BAPI is Business application programming interface. It is nothing but Remote enabled function
module which can be called from outside the SAP System.
User exit is an include program given by SAP in that you can write your code , It needs Access
key from SAP while key is not required in case of customer exit
Select single will fetch only one record while select up to n row. Will fetch n rows from database
You cannot retrieve the output for the report which is displayed using ALV GRID Display.As
spool Request will not be created for the same. While in case of list display Report out put will
be there in spool request.
In classical report user cannot interact with report whereas in drill down report user can interact
with report.
Drill down facility is not provided in classical report while in drill down it is provided.
If they ask you in detail then tell the interviewer that interact with the report means in drill down
report we have one basic list and 20 secondary lists so we can directly go to 5th list or 10th list
as per our requirement similarly we can come back to any list. Drill down means showing data
in basic list first and when we double click on any field we get summarised list. NOTE:- to go to
next list in drill down report use following syntax SY-LSIND = < list number> example: to go to
15th list SY-LSIND = 15 to come to 5th list from 15th list use F3 KEY OR PRESS BACK
BUTTON
Get cursor will provide the location cursor position in the report
While hide is use to pass the data from basic list to secondary list
You cannot call normal function module from outside the current system while RFC function
module can be called from outside the SAP system.
The basic difference is validation is not done in direct input by pre defined function while in
batch input it is coved.
Synchronous mode will wait until the BDC session gets over while asynchronous mode will not
wait for that
At selection screen is used to validate the whole screen elements while at selection field is
used to validate the particular field.
When you display the error message in at selection on field the focus will be on that particular
field while in case of At selection screen the focus will not be on any particular field.
If you use the STOP statement within an event block, the system stops processing the
block Immediately.
If you use the EXIT statement within an event block but not in a loop, the system
stops Processing the block immediately
If you use the CHECK <expr> statement within an event block but not within a loop, and the Condition
<expr> is not fulfilled, the system exits the processing block immediately. <expr> can be any logical
expression or the name of a selection table. If you specify a selection table and the contents of 20.free
and refresh in internal table
You can use FREE to initialize an internal table (along with header line ) and release its
memory space.
REFRESH will only initialize an internal table (along with header line)
The major difference is clear is used with internal table while delete is used with database
table.
COLLECT <line> INTO <itab>. The statement first checks whether the internal table contains
an entry with the same key. If not,it acts like INSERT. If there is already a table entry with the
same key, COLLECT does not inserta new line. Instead, it adds the values from the numeric
fields of the work area <line> to thevalues in the corresponding fields of the existing table entry.
SUM.Can only be used in loops through internal tables. Calculates the sums of the numeric
fields in alllines of the current control level and writes the results to the corresponding fields in
the workarea.
As the name suggest AT FIRST executed for the first time while AT LAST executed in last.
Both the enhancement-point and section are available for you to change standard SAP code.
Difference is in fact that you use Enhancement-point to add ABAP code to standard SAP and
enhancement-section to replace/extend standard SAP code.
Top of page trigger when report encounter the first write, skip or new-line statements.
End of page trigger when page size is over or report display gets over.
Table has physical definition into the underline database while structure does exist physically in
the data base.
Table has data init while view does not contain data in it. Both exist in the data base. when u
run the view it queries the database and gives the respective data.
Inner join joins the table at database level whereas For..All..Entries joins the table at
application level.
In For..All..Entries when the condition gets satisfied data is fetched in one single shot from
database table whereas in inner join data is fetched iteration by iteration
It is always good programming practice to join tables at application level because if we join
tables at database level then there might be performance issue
Transparent Table: Exists with the same structure both in the dictionary and database exactly
with same data and fields. its to store transaction data. Its one to one Relation table
Pool tables: These are logical tables must be assigned to a table pool when they are defined.
Its use to store control data. its many to one relation table
Clustered tables: these also logical tables and must be assigned to table cluster when they are
defined. Its also used to store control data, temporary data or text ex., documentation. Its also
many to one relation table.
Top of page is triggered for the basic list while top of page at line selection triggers at
secondary list.
start_form function module is called if we want to use different forms with similar characteristics
in a single spool request ,it must be closed by END_FORM function module
Open dataset is use to read / write file into application server while close dataset is use to
close that file.
Domain gives technical details like length , decimal etc..while data elements gives description
and business details
Set screen <no> set the next screen value and temporarily override the next screen value in
screen attribute. While call screen <no> jump to the screen specified in <no>.
External session is nothing but the window you have opened in your screen .By Default you
can open 6 external sessions( 6 windows = you can increase it via basiss setting). Internal
session is created when you call any Functional module or any other task in your program.
counts for internal sessions are 9.
An Elementary Search help defines the flow of a standard input help. It is composed of a
selection method that defines where to get the data that will make up the hit list, An interface
consisting of search help parameters that define the exchange of data between the screen and
the selection method and a dialog type that controls how the hit list will be displayed.
A Collective Search help is a combination of several elementary search helps giving the user
a different search paths. The interface parameters of the elementary search help are assigned
to the parameters of the collective search.
38. What is the difference between Clustered Tables and Pooled Tables?
A pooled table is used to combine several logical tables in the ABAP/4 dictionary. Pooled tables
are logical tables that must be assigned to a table pool when they are defined.
Cluster table are logical tables that must be assigned to a table cluster when they are defined.
Cluster table can be used to store control data they can also used to store temporary data or
text such as documentation.
User exit is sap defined includes so to modify it we need key from SAP.while customer exit like
function exit , screen exit we dont need any key.
Screen has its own gui status while subscreen does not have any gui status.Subscreens are
part of main screen.
Standard table can be accessed by key as well as index while You can only access hashed
tables by specifying the key. The system has its own hash algorithm for managing the table.
