Calling ABAP from SAPScript

Former Member — Wed, 06 Jul 2005 11:40:01 GMT

Hi ,

I am facing some problem in calling a subroutine from Standard Text element (Txn SO10).

I have done the following in a text element.

/: DEFINE &GD_PREV_NAME& = ''

/: PERFORM GET_PREV_NAME IN PROGRAM ZTEST

/: USING &P0001-PERNR&

/: USING &P0002-BEGDA&

/: CHANGING &GD_PREV_NAME&

/: ENDPERFORM

In the ABAP ZTEST,

FORM get_prev_name TABLES tabin STRUCTURE itcsy

tabout STRUCTURE itcsy.

DATA : ld_pernr LIKE pa0001-pernr.

READ TABLE tabin WITH KEY name = 'P0001-PERNR'.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

ld_pernr = tabin-value.

ENDIF.

........................

ENDFORM.

I found in debugging that the both tables TABIN & TABOUT are empty in the FORM get_prev_name !!!!

Can anyone hint on why the values are not passed to ABAP ??

Many thanks in advance.

Regards,

Sandip.

Hi ,

Just change tour code in the ABAP program like this.

FORM get_prev_name TABLES tabin STRUCTURE itcsy

tabout STRUCTURE itcsy.

DATA : ld_pernr LIKE pa0001-pernr.

READ TABLE tabin index 1.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

ld_pernr = tabin-value.

ENDIF.

ENDFORM.

Cheers,

Sam.

Hi Sandip,

How did you check that tables are empty ?

Sam,

I would like to inform that the table TABIN has got no values at all.TABIN[] is EMPTY.

So it does not matter whether you read it by INDEX 1 or by WITH KEY......

Please suggest.

Thanks,Sandip.

Hi Sandip,

I guess the problem here might be that the values aren't getting flown.

First try this (hardcoding and testing),

/: DEFINE &GD_PREV_NAME& = ''

/: PERFORM GET_PREV_NAME IN PROGRAM ZTEST

/: USING '1000'

/: USING '20050101'

/: CHANGING &GD_PREV_NAME&

/: ENDPERFORM

if it works fine, then figure out whether the variables P0001-PERNR AND P0002-BEGDA are not null when passed. If not then try this

/: DEFINE &GD_PREV_NAME& = ''

/: PERFORM GET_PREV_NAME IN PROGRAM ZTEST

/: USING &P0000-PERNR&

/: USING &P0002-BEGDA&

/: CHANGING &GD_PREV_NAME&

/: ENDPERFORM

ELSE TRY PA0000-PERNR AND PA0002-BEGDA

Cheers,

Sam.

Hi ,

In debigging I see tables are empty.

But the same text element is printing the P0001-PERNR and P0002-BEGDA correctly !

So I am just confused as why it is not passed to the ABAP Subroutine I am calling.

Help buddies with your views.I am ready for any hit-n-trial.

Thank you very much.

Sandip.
