Hi,

2.<b>DESCRIBE</b> statement is used to find out the attributes of a data object at runtime that were not statically available. For example, you may need to find out the type of a generic interface parameter in a subroutine.

<b>4.Diff between RFC & BAPI:</b>

RFC stands for Remote Function Call. Its a remote enabled function module. It means that a FM written in R/3 with remote enabled feature, can be called in CRM application. Any function module can be an RFC.

While BAPI are those function module, who are of course remote enabled, but besides, they have a specific application area. These function module help in creating a specific application document. For example, a BAPI_create_purchase_order is a BAPI with RFC property which creates a Purchase order. This purchase order becomes an application in R/3.

Any function module can be RFC enabled but it is called a BAPI only when it creates any application specific document in the system.

<b>6.Diff between Leave Screen & Leave To Screen:</b>

The LEAVE SCREEN statement ends the current screen and calls the subsequent screen. The next screen is either the static next screen or a dynamic next screen.

The LEAVE TO SCREEN statement exits the current screen and calls the dynamic next screen, which you specify as part of the statement. The LEAVE TO SCREEN statement is no more than a contraction of the two statements

SET SCREEN <next screen>.

LEAVE SCREEN.

<b>7.Difference Between User Exits & BADI :</b>

Refer this Link,

<b>8.DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SMARTFORMS AND SAPSCRIPTS ARE:</b>

1).Smartforms are client independent and Sapscripts are client dependent.

2).Multiple page formats are possible in smartforms which is not the case in SAPScripts

3).It is possible to have a smartform without a main window .

4).Labels cannot be created in smartforms.

5).Routines can be written in smartforms tool.

6).Smartforms generates a function module when activated.

<b>9.Table Maintenance Generator :</b>

Table Maintanance Generator is used to manually

input values using transaction sm30

follow below steps

1) go to se11 check table maintanance check box under

attributes tab

2) utilities-table maintanance Generator->

create function group and assign it under

function group input box.

also assign authorization group default &NC& .

3)select standard recording routine radio in table

table mainitainence generator to move table

contents to quality and production by assigning

it to request.

4) select maintaience type as single step.

5) maintainence screen as system generated numbers

this dialog box appears when you click on create

button

6) save and activate table

One step, two step in Table Maintenance Generator

Single step: Only overview screen is created i.e. the Table Maintenance Program will have only one screen where you can add, delete or edit records.

Two step: Two screens namely the overview screen and Single screen are created. The user can see the key fields in the first screen and can further go on to edit further details.

<b>11.Difference Between Call Transaction & Session Method:</b>

<b>SESSION METHOD</b>

Data is not updated in database table unless Session is processed.

No sy-subrc is returned.

Error log is created for error records.

Updation in database table is always synchronous

<b>CALL TRANSACTION</b>

Immediate updation in database table.

Sy-subrc is returned.

Errors need to be handled explicitly

Updation in database table can be synchronous Or Asynchronous.

<b>13.Events In ALV:</b>

LOAD-OF-PROGRAM

INITIALIZATION

AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT

<b>Use of AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT :</b>

It is triggered when the selection screen is loaded in memory before being displayed.

hey pavan, it´s about the fifth time i see you posting such "interview questions".

This forum is rather intended to provide help for people stuck in problems.

For the purpose of learning ABAP better book a course at SAP.

You might get the answers here, if some people feel like answering this, BUT you will never learn enough to answer the questions next time yourself.

Hi Pavan

1) <b>what is EXPORT stmt?</b>

A: <i> Stores a data cluster in the data buffer f, where f has the type XSTRING. The objects declared, obj1 ... objn, are stored as a cluster in the data buffer f. They can be fields, structures, complex structures, or tables.

</i>

2)<b>describe stmt and advantages</b>

A: <i>The pattern function allows you to insert various source code templates in your program it reduces the typing effort and ensures that the syntax of the statement is always correct. </i>

<b><u>Advantages</u></b>

<i>To insert a statement pattern in the ABAP Editor:

1. Ensure that you are in change mode and position the cursor at the place where you want to insert the statement.

2. Choose Pattern.The Insert Statement Pattern dialog box appears.

3. Choose the required pattern and, if necessary, the statement.

4. Choose Continue.

5. Fill out the pattern with the required information.

6. Choose Continue to confirm your entries.

The system inserts the statement at the cursor position in the program code.

</i>

3) <b>In one f-module how to make sy-subrc = 0.</b>

<u><b>This question is not so clear for me.

if u want an example how to declare then u can go thru this</b></u>

data:
    begin of t_values occurs 2,
      value like kna1-begru,
    end of t_values,
 
    t_return like ddshretval occurs 0 with header line.
 
  t_values = 'PAR*'.
  append t_values.
 
  t_values = 'UGG'.
  append t_values.
 
  call function 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
       exporting
            retfield        = 'BEGRU'
            value_org       = 'S'
       tables
            value_tab       = t_values
            return_tab      = t_return
       exceptions
            parameter_error = 1
            no_values_found = 2
            others          = 3.
 
  if sy-subrc = 0.
    read table t_return index 1.
 
    o_begru-low = t_return-fieldval.
 
    if o_begru-low = 'PAR*'.
      o_begru-option = 'CP'.
    else.
      o_begru-option = 'EQ'.
    endif.
 
    o_begru-sign = 'I'.
 
    append o_begru to s_begru.
  else.
    o_begru = i_begru.
  endif.
                  

4) <b>Diff bet RFC's and bapi's</b>

A:<i>BAPI are RFC enabled function modules. the difference between RFc and BAPI are business objects. You create business objects and those are then registered in your BOR (Business Object Repository) which can be accessed outside the SAP system by using some other applications (Non-SAP) such as VB or JAVA. in this case u only specify the business object and its method from external system in BAPI there is no direct system call. while RFC are direct system call Some BAPIs provide basic functions and can be used for most SAP business object types. These BAPIs should be implemented the same for all business object types. Standardized BAPIs are easier to use and prevent users having to deal with a number of different BAPIs. Whenever possible, a standardized BAPI must be used in preference to an individual BAPI. </i>

5) <b>what are run time tools?</b>

A: <i>Choose Menu --> Test -->Runtime Analysis or transaction SE30 to start the runtime analysis. In the initial screen, you see the four main functions of this tool, which can be activated by pushing the corresponding button.

Measurement in dialog status

Measurement of external session

Selection of measurement restrictions

Evaluation of measurement results

</i>

6) <b>diff bet leave screen and leave to screen.</b>

A:<i>If we want to branch to the next screen without finishing the current one, use LEAVE SCREEN.

With CALL SCREEN, the current (calling) chain is suspended, and a next screen (or screen chain) is called in. The called screen can then return to the suspended chain with the statement LEAVE SCREEN TO SCREEN 0</i>

7<b>) diff bet user-exits and BADI's</b>

A:<i>Difference between BADI and USER-EXIT.

i) BADI's can be used any number of times, where as USER-EXITS can be used only one time.

Ex:- if your assigning a USER-EXIT to a project in (CMOD), then you can not assign the same to other project.

ii) BADI's are oops based.</i>

😎 <b>diff bet smartforms and scripts</b>

A:<i>Scripts are client-dependent but SF are client Independent

less programing in smart form

multiple page format is possible in smart form

we can maintain background graphics in smartform

multiple page format not allowed in scripts allowed in sf.

labelling is possible in scripts not possible in sf.

</i>

9) <b>Table maintanance generator?</b>

11) diff bet call trans and session methods

A: <i>Session method.

1) synchronous processing.

2) can tranfer large amount of data.

3) processing is slower.

4) error log is created

5) data is not updated until session is processed.

Call transaction.

1) asynchronous processing

2) can transfer small amount of data

3) processing is faster.

4) errors need to be handled explicitly

5) data is updated automatically</i>
