What is the differences between structure and table in data dictionary in ABAP?
Structure and table both are 2/2 matrices but there are many differences between table and
structure.
1. Table can store the data physically but a structure dose not store.
2. Table can have primary key but a structure dose not have.
3. Table can have the technical attribute but a structure dose not have.
structure doesnt contain technical attributes.
structure doesnt contain primary key.
structure doesnt stores underline database level.
What is the difference between collect and sum?
SUM.
When processing an internal table in a block starting with LOOP and concluded by ENDLOOP ,
SUM calculates the control totals of all fields of type I , F and P (see also ABAP/4 number types
) and places them in the LOOP output area (header line of the internal table or an explicitly
specified work area).
When you use SUM in a LOOP with an explicitly specified output area, this output area must be
compatible with the line type of the internal table.When using LOOP to process a sorted extract
(see SORT ), the control total of f at the end of the group appears in the field SUM(f) if f is
type I , F or P .
COLLECT.
COLLECT is used to create unique or compressed datsets. The key fields are the default key
fields of the internal table itab .
If you use only COLLECT to fill an internal table, COLLECT makes sure that the internal table
does not contain two entries with the same default key fields.
If, besides its default key fields, the internal table contains number fields,the contents of these
number fields are added together if the internal table already contains an entry with the same key
fields.
If the default key of an internal table processed with COLLECT is blank, all the values are added
up in the first table line.
If you specify wa INTO , the entry to be processed is taken from the explicitly specified work
area wa . If not, it comes from the header line of the internal table itab .
After COLLECT , the system field SY-TABIX contains the index of the existing or new
table entry with default key fields which match those of the entry to be processed.
COLLECT can create unique or compressed datasets and should be used precisely for this
purpose. If uniqueness or compression are unimportant, or two values with identical default key
field values could not possibly occur in your particular task, you should use APPEND instead.
However, for a unique or compressed dataset which is also efficient, COLLECT is the statement
to use.
If you process a table with COLLECT , you should also use COLLECT to fill it. Only by doing
this can you guarantee that the internal table will actually be unique or compressed, as described
above and COLLECT will run very efficiently.
If you use COLLECT with an explicitly specified work area, it must be compatible with the line
type of the internal table.
How we format the data before before write statement in report ?
We can format the reports output by using the loop events like:
1.at first
2.at new
3.at last
etc check docu
What is the difference between Table and Template?
table is a dynamic and template is a static
When do we use End-of-selection?
End-of-selection event are mostly used when we are writing HR-ABAP code. In the HR-ABAP
code, data is retrived in the Start-of-selection event and Printing on the list and all will be done
in End-of-selection event.
In events start-of-selection is default event. When we have to use this event explicitly?
Why?
The default event in the ABAP is Start-of-selection.We have to call explicitely this event when
you are writing other than ths event , that is when you write AT SELECTION-SCREEN
EVENTS OR INITIALIZATION EVENT etc,you have to explicitely mention the Start-of-
selection event while you are writing the logic.
Before these events called ,all the code you have written come into this default Start-of-selection
screen event.
What is the differences between ABAP and OOABAP. In which situation we use
OOABAP?
OOABAP is used to develop BSP/PCUI applications and also anthing involved object oriented
like BADIs, SmartForms..etc.where as ABAP is used to develop traditional programs in R/3.
What is table buffer? Which type of tables used this buffer?
buffer is nothing but a memory area. table is buffered means that table information is available
on application server. when you call data from database table it will come from application
server.
transperent and pooled tables are buffered. cluster tables can not buffered.
What is the use of pretty printer ?
Exactly where can we link the functional module to abap coding.
Pretty Printer is used to format the ABAP Code we write in ABAP Editor ,like KEY WORDS in
Capitals and remaining are in small letters which is also depend on system settings.
We can call the function module in the ABAP Code .Press the Pattern button on Appl. tool bar
then u will get box where u write the function module NAME which u want to call in the code by
selecting the radio button CALL FUNCTION. In this way we link function module to ABAP
Code.
What is the difference between SAP memory and ABAP memory?
Answer1:
data sending between main sessions using get parameter and set parameter is sap memory
data sending between internal sessions using import or export parameters is abap memory
Answer2:
sap memory is a global memory whereas abap memory is local memory.
For example, we have four programs in abap memory and assigned some varibles to a particular
program in abap memory then those varibles cant be used by anyother program in abap memory
i.e., the variables are only for that program and also local to that memory,whereas sap memory
can access all the abap memory or else it can perform any kind of modifications.
Answer3:
SAP memory is available to the user during the entire terminal session.
ABAP memory is available to the user during life time of external session.
What is the difference between Type and Like?
Answer1:
TYPE, you assign datatype directly to the data object while declaring.
LIKE,you assign the datatype of another object to the declaring data object. The datatype is
referenced indirectly.
Answer2:
Type is a keyword used to refer to a data type whereas Like is a keyword used to copy the
existing properties of already existing data object.
Answer3:
type refers the existing data type
like refers the existing data object
What is Tcode SE16. For what is it used. Explain briefly?
Answer1:
SE16 is a T-code for object browser.
Generally used to search the fields of SAP Tables . and respective data.
Answer2:
se16 is a data browse and it is used to view the contents of the table and we cannot change or
append new fields to the existing structure of the table as we cannot view the structure level
display using the se16
What are different ABAP/4 editors? What are the differences?
The 2 editors are se38 and se80 both have the abap editor in place. In se38 you can go create
programs and view online reports and basically do all thedevelopmet of objects in this editor. In
se80 ( object navigator) there are additional features such as creating packages,module pool ,
function group ,classes, programs ( where you can create ur programs) and BSP applications .
What is difference between dialog program and a report?
Report is a excecutable program
Dialog is a module pool program.It has to be executed via a transaction only.
Dialog programming is used for customization ofscreens
How do you connect to the remote server if you are working from the office for the client in
remote place.
WAS web application server or ITS are generally used for this purpose. If you are sitting at your
office with a server which is in the system and the other server is at the clients place you can
generate IDOC, intermidiate documents which carry the data you want to transfer or the
documents you want to transfer, these IDOC are interpretted by the system at the recieving end
with the message class with which it is bound with. If you want to logon a system which is very
distant..then remote login can be used this depends on the internet speed.
Explain about roll area , Dispatcher, ABAP-Processor.
Answer1:
Roll area is nothing but memory allocated by work process. It holds the information needed by
R/3 about programs execution such as value of the variables.
Dispatcher :All the requests that come from presentation server will be directed first to
dispatcher. Further dispatcher sends this requests to work process on FIFO(First In and First Out)
basis.
Answer2:
Dispatcher recieves the request from client and assigns the request to one of the work process.
Roll area: Each workprocess works in a particular memory that memory is known as Role Area,
which consists of User context and session data.
ABAP- Processor :is an interpretor which can execute logic
Which one is not an exit comand ? (Exit, cencle, stop, back)
STOP.
Effect :The statement STOP is only to be used in executable programs
EXIT.
Effect :If the EXIT statement is executed outside of a loop, it will immediately terminate the
current processing block.
BACK.
Effect : This statement positions the list cursor on the first position of the first line in a logical
unit.
So Cancle is not an exit command
What is Field symbol ?
Answer1:
You can use field symbols to make the program more dynamic. In this example the name of a
table control is substituted by a field symbol. Thus you cal call the form with any internal table,
using the name of the table control as a parameter.
Example
form insert_row
using p_tc_name.
field-symbols <tc> type cxtab_control. Table control
assign (p_tc_name) to <tc>.
* insert 100 lines in table control
<tc>-lines = 100.
Answer2:
fieldsymbol has the same concept as pointer in c,
fieldsymbol dont point to a data type like char, num instead of that it points to the memory
block. the syntax for fieldsymbol is
FIELD-SYMBOL <N>.
EG. FOR FIELD SYMBOL.
DATA: DAT LIKE SY-DATUM,
TIM LIKE SY-UZEIT,
CHAR(3) TYPE C VALUE ADF.
FIELD-SYMBOL : <FS>.
MOVE DAT TO <FS>.
WRITE:/ <FS>.
MOVE TIM TO <FS>.
WRITE:/ <FS>.
MOVE CHAR TO <FS>.
WRITE:/ <FS>.
The output will be
Todays date
current time
What is lock object ?
LockObjects used to synchornize access of several users using same data.
Why BAPI need then BDC ?
BAPIS provide the standard interface to other applications apart from SAP and within differnt
vesions of SAP too. Also it is OOD bases so dosent depends on screen flow. BDC gets failed if
we make changes for screen changes through IMG customization
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using views in ABAP programming ?
advantages: view is used to retrieve the data very fastly from the database tables
*memory wastage is reduced
*faster than joins to retrieve the data from database tables
disadvantages:
view is not a container,it will not hold the data
*view memory is not permanent memory
How data is stored in cluster table?
A cluster table conatins data from mulitple DDIC tables.
It stores data as a name value pair ( varkey, vardata)
Have you used performance tuning? What major steps will you use for these?
First of all tunning can be done
In three ways: disk i/o ,sql tunning , memory tunning,
Before tunning u have to get the status of your database using
Oracle utility called statpack , tkprof, then you should go for tunning
How to create client independent tables?
client independent tables:
the table in which the first field is not mandt is the client independent tables
*mandt is the field with mandt as the data element
*automatically client which we login is populated to mandt
What type of user exits have you written?
there are four types
1.function exit
2.menu ixit
3.screen exit.
4.field exit.
these are the user exits
How can you debug a script form?
SE71 -> give the form name -> utilities -> activate debugger
How do we debug sapscript?
First we need to put Break point in Print program where ever you want to stop the execution.
After in SE71 give your form name and go to Utilities>Active De-bugger.
Then go to your transcation like VF03(for Invoice or Credit memo) etc to see the print preview
or print the form execute it.
When you execute it the the form Debugging will get activated and you can see your Form
execution step by step.
What are the different types of data dictionary objects?

* Table Types
Answer2
the dictionary objects are:
domain
dataelements
tables
views
structures
typegroups
search helps
lock objects etc which are data base related objects in sap
What is the step by step process to create a table in data dictionary?
Answer1
steps to create database tables
1.go to se11
2.give name the database table
3.give short description for the table
4.Give delivery class name as A and data browser / table view maint as Display/maintenence
allowed
5.select fields tab
6.give field name data type(user defined element type/built-in-type),short text
7.select technical settings tab ,give data class as appl0 and size category as 0
8.save it
9.go utillities menu click table contents select create and enter the field values then select display
in table contents and u can view the table values with field lables
Answer2
bottom to top approach:
_________________________
step 1:
creating a domain:
*se11,select the object type as domain ,name it ,create,description,enter the datatype and
length(size),save ,activate
step2:
creating a dataelement;
se11,select the object type as :date element,name it ,create,desc,assign it with a domain what we
created now,save,activate it.
step3:
creating a table;
se11,select the object type as table,name it, create,
enter the field name and assign it with the data element instead of assigning a datatype to it,
like this create req fields:
on behalf of this:
table maintainence:
assign the type of the table ie.,A C G L S
NEXT
maintaince:
allowed,not allowed ,allowed with restricions
______________________________________________
fields of a table:(as descripted above)

A1
AND
BUFFERED OR NON-BUFFERED
Can a transparent table exist in data dictionary but not in the data base physically?
Answer1
NO. TRANSPARENT TABLE DO EXIST WITH THE SAME STRUCTURE BOTH IN THE
DICTIONARY AS WELL AS IN THE DATABASE,EXACTLY WITH THE SAME DATA
AND FIELDS.
No,
at the point you will activate your table a same transparent table is going to be create in database
Answer2
Yes, a transparent table(definition) can exist in the data dictionary and not in the database. In this
case, it is not activated
What are the domains and data elements?
domains:
___________
domains are the dictionary objects that are assigned with constants and data types
data elements:
______________
data elements are dictionary objects that are assigned with the domains.
uses:
* data elements are used to create relation between tables.
* data elements are used to transfer the data from one R/3 to another R/3.
* to create search helps.
What is a collect statement? How is it different from append?
APPEND :
IT IS USED TO GET THE RECORD FROM THE INTERNAL TABLE HEADER TO THE
BODY AREA
IT ALLOWS DUPLICATION
COLLECT:
IT IS USED TO A GET A RECORD FROM HEADER TO THE BODY AREA BUT IT WILL
NOT ALLOW ANY DUPLICATION EXCEPT IF THERE IS ANY NUMERIC FIELS IT
ADDS THAT FIELDS DATA BUT NOT AS A NEW RECORD
On ABAP: Did you set up a workflow? Are you familiar with all steps for setting up a
workflow?
Yes.
Execute the Txn SWDD(Creating a new Workflow).
In the header of the Workflow, define the Business Object and Event you refer to for triggering
the Wf.
Create the Steps required for your workflow(Activity).
Inside the Activity, Create the task and assign the Business Object and the related method for
that business object.
Activate the Workflow.
In the select statement what is group by?
Group by clause is used to fetch the data from the table by the specified field
ex.select count (*) from emptable group by deptno where deptno = 1.
It is used to find the number of employees present in the specified department no.
How can I copy a standard table to make my own z_table?
WE CAN CREATE A STRUCTURE LIKE THE SAME STRUCTURE AS DATABASE
TABLE AND WE CAN USE
SELECT* FROM DATABASE TABLE INTO TABLE ITAB
OR
INSERT INTO ITAB VALUES DATABASE TABLE

What is a report?
Report is a program used to fetch data from the database tables and display it on the screen. It
has 2 screens selection screen(optional) and list or output screen.
When the TOP-OF-PAGE event does get triggered?
TOP-OF-PAGE event will be triggered when the first ULINE, WRITE or SKIP statement occurs
in a program.
What is the difference between SKIP and RESERVE?
SKIP provides empty space between lines, while RESERVE executes a page break on the
current page if the number of lines between current line and the page footer is less than the
number specified in RESERVE statement.
What is the difference between SKIP and NEW-LINE?
SKIP generates a blank line, while the NEW-LINE causes the control to move to next line.
What is hotspot?
Hotspot is an area on the list where the mouse pointer turns into an upright hand symbol. A
single click on the hotspot does the same thing as a double-click.
What does HIDE statement do?
The HIDE statement hides the contents of the line along with the line numbers in a system
defined HIDE area. This is used in interactive reporting.
What are the events in classical reports?
INITIALIZATION
AT SELECTION-SCREEN
START-OF-SELECTION
END-OF-SELECTION
TOP-OF-PAGE
END-OF-PAGE
How many detail lists can be created in interactive reporting?
20
What is the name of the system variable that holds the contents of the selected line in
interactive reporting?
SY-LISEL
Can we set page headers to details lists?
Yes. Use TOP-OF-PAGE DURING LINE-SELECTION event.
What is an ABAP dictionary?
ABAP dictionary is a central data management system. Its main function is to support the
creation and management of data definitions.
What are the basic objects of the data dictionary?
Tables
Domains
Data elements
Structures
Foreign keys
What is the difference between Data elements and Domains?
Data Element Domain
Data Element gives semantic attributes like field
labels and online documentation
Domain gives the technical attributes like data
type and field length
Can you delete a domain which is being used by data elements?
No
Can you define a field without a data element?
Yes. Use the path Utilities > Direct Entry Type
What are the difference between Tables and Structures?
Table Structure
Table has an underlying database table No underlying database table
Table has a primary key No primary key
Table has technical attributes No technical attributes
What is a Data Class?
The Data class determines in which table space the table is stored when it is created in the
database.
What is a Size Category?
The Size category describes the probable space requirement of the table in the database.
What is a view?
A view is a logical view on one or more tables. i.e. the data from a view is not actually
physically stored in the database instead the data will be derived from one or more tables during
runtime.
What are the different types of views and their definition?
Database View
Help View
Projection View
Maintenance View
1. Can we write the code both call transaction and session method in single
program?
Ans. Yes it is possible to write call transaction and session in one program.
2. Which BDC you prefer?
Ans. If we want to transfer large amount of data and when we need to use more than one
transaction code we prefer session method. For small or less amount of data and for
single transaction use call transaction.
(This is more genric answer but you can add more on to this if you have worked
on BDC)
3. When u prefer LSMW?
Ans. When we need to update medium amount of data we use LSMW. LSMW is also
used when the person like functional consultant has less programming language.
5. Difference between .include and .append?
Ans.
Include structure allows to add one or more structure into structure or table.Also placed
positioning anywhere. Upto 6 include structure can be used in a table.
Append structure can be placed only at the end of a structure or table which also stops
further insertion of fields.Only one append structure can be used
6. Preformance techniques
Ans.
1. The sequence of fields must be same as per database table
2. During writing select query write all fields in sequence as per database table.
3. Never write select statements inside loop.endloop.
4. Use st05 SQL trace, se30 run time analysis, code inspector, slin,etc.
5. Use select single * statement instead of select *
6. Always use primary key
7. Use binary search but before using binary search sort that table.
7. How to debug sapscripts ?
Ans.
Two ways to debug sapscript . first way is goto SE 71 and from menu bar select Utilities-
>activate debugger .then goto SE38 execute the print program ,it automatically goes to
debugging mode ..the other way is , run the program RSTXDBUG in se 38 . execute it
. a message will show that debugger is activated .now open the print program in se 38
u vll notice that the print prgm is automatically diverted to debugging mode.
8. What is partner selection?
Ans. This concept is mainly used in IDOC where u select the partner profile using Tcode
We20 .with Tcode SM59 you create RFC(remote function call) to create communication
link to a remote system.
10. What is occurs in internal table?
Ans. Occurs addition to the Declaration will give initial size to that table.occur statement
allocates 8kb of memory to the internal table.
11. What is page window?
Ans : page window is nothing but a container of a page ,which uniquely identifies a set of
data for example while creating invoice we create logo window , billing document
header window , customer window , terms and condition window etc
12. What is the difference between scrolling a table horizontally and vertically..??
Ans: In table control when you scroll a table vertically presentation server needs to call
application server to fetch the next record and display in the table while in case of
horizontal scroll there is no need to call application server.
13. What are Field Groups?
Ans: A group that combines several fields fewer than one name, at runtime, the INSERT
command is used to define which data fields are assigned to which field group are called
Field Groups. It should always be a HEADER field group that defines how the extracted
data will be sorted; the fields grouped under the HEADER field group sort the data.
14. List the events in ABAP/4 Language?
Ans: The events in ABAP/4 are load of program ,Initialization, Selection Screen, Start of
Selection, End of Selection, Top of page, Line selection, User command, End, First.
15.How the values will be passed to RFC Function module PassbyValue or
Passbyreference?
Ans: always Pass by Value.
RFC is Remote Function call so it cant access the values with Pass by reference.
16. Buffering concept usage?
Ans: There are three type of buffer
1 single record
2 generic buffer
3 full buffer
Buffering is use for improve performance. it improves performance 10 to 100 times
more
17. Select up to 1 row and select single difference ?
Ans: Select single fetches first matching record. If more than one matching records are
there then only the first matching record will be considered other records will not be
taken into account. Where as select up to 1 rows will fetch all the matching records from
the database.(Again it will assign only One Record to the internal table/Work area)
18. What are the different buffering methods?
There are two different buffering methods
The system ensures that data transfer between the R/3 System and the database system is
as efficient as possible. To do this, it uses the following techniques:
Table buffering: The program accesses data from the buffer of the application server.
Database request buffering: Individual database entries are not read or passed to the
database until required by an OPEN SQL statement.
19. Different types of locks?
v Read lock (shared lock)
Protects read access to an object. The read lock allows other transactions read access but
not write access to the locked area of the table.
v o Write lock (exclusive lock)
Protects write access to an object. The write lock allows other transactions neither read
nor write access to the locked area of the table.
v o Enhanced write lock (exclusive lock without cumulation)
Works like a write lock except that the enhanced write lock also protects from further
accesses from the same transaction.
20. CHAIN END CHAIN?
Ans: Chain and end chain are used for multiple field validation in Module pool
programming .It is written inside the screen flow logic.
21.How to Debug RFC Function module?
Ans:
SE38 > Utilities > Settings > ABAP Editor > Debugging
Activate the external debugging and choose the New Debugger option in ABAP
debugger.
Go to the particular place in the code and put break point, pop will appear then choose the
HTTP break point.
If you are triggering the RFC from SAP portal make sure that both the user ID should be
same
If the users are different then provide the XI/Portal User ID in the users field.
22.Why sapscripts are client dependent and smartforms are client independent.?
Ans-: Smartforms create its own function module so it doesnt need to transport the
request through SCC1.As all the Development Object are stored in client independent
tables. Whereas Script doesnt generate any function module while executing so we need
to transport the request number through SCC1.Sap script is stroed in side the client
depended table as a TEXT.so sapscripts are client dependent and smartforms are client
independent.
23. Difference between user exit and BADIs?
Ans: User exit is for single implementation and it is procedural approach while BADIs
are for multiple implementation and object oriented approach.
Multiple implementation means Reusability because we use OOps Concepts for BADI.
24. Control break events in ABAP:-
1. AT-FIRST: This is used when we want to execute the statements before records are
processed.
2. AT-LAST: This event is used when we want to execute the statements after all records
are processed.
3. AT-NEW: This event is used when we want to execute the statement before group of
records are processed.
4. AT-END: This event is used when we want to execute the statements after processing
of group of records.
25.I am uploading 100 records out of which say 59th record has error so what will
happen if i am using synchronous or asynchronous method of BDC? Can we update
the database using local update mode how?
26. Suppose i am writing following code then what will be output?
LOAD-OF-PROGRAM.
WRITE:/HELLO.
Ans: HELLO
(Explain the importance of LOAD-OF-PROGRAM Event.If you dont know Tell the
interviewer as this event is used in such cases when you want to clear sum buffers or
something Before calling that Program)
27. What is TMG?
Ans. TMG stands for Table Maintenance generator. It is a tool available in abap by which
we can add or delete multiple records at a time and it is executed or triggered by the
transaction code SM30.
28. Difference between select option and ranges ?
Ans. The main difference between select option and ranges is that ranges implicitly or
automatically creates internal table with fields like OPTION,LOW,HIGH,SIGN,etc .
Where as in case of select option we have to explicitly create internal table.
When u declares a select options it will implicitly declare an internal table (ranges) for
you.
While using RANGES syntax u can declare internal table explicitly.
The only need of declaring ranges is when you r not taking input from the user but you
want make limit based selection at that time it will be use full e.g. SELECT ** from **
where MATNR in val_range.
here u can use select-option or ranges : val_range.

29. is it possible to bring select option in module pool screens?
Ans.Create a SELECT-OPTIONS in module pool screen using two methods as shown.
Method 1:-
a) Create a subscreen area in your screen layout where you want to create the select
options.
b) In the top include of your module pool program declare a selection screen as a
subscreen e.g.
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF SCREEN 100 AS SUBSCREEN.
select-options s_matnr for mara-matnr.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF SCREEN.
c) In the PBO and PAI of the main screen where the select options needs to be created do
a call subscreen of the above screen (100).
CALL SUBCREEN sub_area INCLUDING <program> <screen>
This CALL SUBSCREEN statement is necessary for transport of values between screen
and program.
Note: All validations of the selection screen fields e.g. the s_matnr field created above
should be done in selection screen events like AT SELECTION-SCREEN etc and not in
PAI. These selection screen validations etc should be done in the top include only.
Method 2:-
a) Create 2 separate fields in your screen layout one for the low value and one for the
high value. Insert an icon beside the high value which will call the multiple selections
popup screen on user command. Use function module
COMPLEX_SELECTIONS_DIALOG to achieve this.
continued
struc_tab_and_field-fieldname = con_cust. KUNNR
struc_tab_and_field-tablename = con_kna1. KNA1.
CALL FUNCTION COMPLEX_SELECTIONS_DIALOG EXPORTING*
TITLE =
text = g_titl1 Customers
tab_and_field = struc_tab_and_field
TABLES RANGE = rng_kunnr
EXCEPTIONS
NO_RANGE_TAB = 1
CANCELLED = 2
INTERNAL_ERROR = 3
INVALID_FIELDNAME = 4
OTHERS = 5.
IF NOT rng_kunnr[] IS INITIAL.
* Read the very first entry of the range table and pass it to
* dynpro screen field
*READ TABLE rng_kunnr INDEX 1.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
g_cust = rng_kunnr-low.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
You can use the return table rng_kunnr to populate your own internal range table with the
