ABAP programming concept

Former Member — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 12:47:45 GMT

I have created a program with its name not beginning with letter 'z' or 'y' and it ran perfectly without any error. Though it prompted error in other cases as in objects, structures etc.So i want to know what can be the cause of it? Is it a bug in the software.? Please explain. I repeat it is only the case with the program name and not anything else?

Hi Dushyant Pilania,

How is it possible?

Customer namespace should be Z or Y.

It didn't ask any developer's code or anything else?

R.Nagarajan.

Hi,

Generally whennever you are trying to create a program other than start with 'y or z', it will ask for the access key for the registration.

When you logged into the system with user id and password that user might be having the accesskey for that.

Then it should have been the case with the structures and other objects as well .Why only the program namespace?

What software version are you on? Which exact program name did you create?

I just tried to create program PICKLE, and sure enough I was asked for an access key R3TR PROG PICKLE, as expected.

No problem, we were all beginners at one time.

MY... and MZ... are actually in the customer name range, these are supposed to be includes for module pools SAPMY... and SAPMZ...

actually the peculiarity is that it works only when name is My_first_prog and not with any other name not even when i tried my_second_prog as a name. What do u say now??

MY... MZ... LY... LZ and a few other combinations are also in the customer namespace.

Look at a function group: It will have the name SAPLfngroupname. Its includes will be Lfingroupname...

If it's a Z or Y fn group, it will have the name SAPLZfngroupname. Its includes will be LZfngroupname.

Similarly for module pools - SAPMymodulepool has includes Mymodulepool.

You're saying you can create MY_FIRST_PROG, but not MY_SECOND_PROG? I have no explanation for this, other than that the system might have doubts after seeing your first program...

Cheers
