Need help in ABAP

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I'm working in SAP BW. I have created a query which I am using in Analysis process designer which feeds data to a transactional ODS.

In the APD the condition made on the query cannot be reached. I want to create a transformation between a query and a transactional ODS that should fetch me TOP 10 materials (as per their sales value)

In the APD the condition made on the query cannot be reached (like TOP N Materials).

I got a ABAP routine to sort the result (in a step of APD). It was like this:

DATA: ls_source TYPE y_source_fields,

ls_target TYPE y_target_fields.

data: rank(4) type N.

sort ls_source descending by KYF_0002.

clear rank.

loop at ls_source into ls_source.

add 1 to rank.

MOVE-CORRESPONDING ls_source TO ls_target.

ls_target-key(10) = ls_target-BPARTNER.

ls_target-key+10(4) = ls_target-MDCHBWCCO__FRCHSHOP.

ls_target-RANKING = rank.

APPEND ls_target TO et_target.

ENDLOOP.

I have been trying for quite sometime to understand and customize this code as per my requirement but my lack of knowledge in ABAP has impaired me.

I need help in suggesting what all in this code is generic and what is specific to the sender's system which I should replace, and with what.

Please help !

Thanks,

Hi,

The code which you sent looks like Values fetched from Source and passed to target. This code is generic.

1) first you need to move values from ls_source to ls_target.

2) here if you look at ls_target-key(10) = ls_target-BPARTNER.

you can find the first 10 character of ls_target-key is moved to ls_target-BPARTNER and next 4 Character of LS_SOURCE is been passed to ls_target-MDCHBWCCO__FRCHSHOP and other field of ls_target are filled with rank value which gets incremented one by one.

thus the whole code is generic and i don't think you would require any more additions.

Hi Prashanth,

Thanks a lot.

But I'm not versed in ABAP at all.

Can you pl send me some docs which could help me undertsand the code?

Because when I checked this code it is throwing me error

Syntax error: "LS_SOURCE" is not an internal table - the "OCCURS n" specification is missing.

Thanks for your help !

Hi,

Change

DATA: ls_source TYPE y_source_fields,

ls_target TYPE y_target_fields.

to

DATA: ls_source like table of y_source_fields with headerline,

ls_target like table of y_target_fields with header line..

Now it should work.

Thanks,

Hi,

Thanks for your help.

But it is nowl throwing a new error

It says," Syntax error: The system expected a key specification in the form "KEY k1 ... kn", "TABLE LINE", or "DEFAULT KEY". -"

Please suggest !

Hi Sharmishtha Biswas ,

if u want the TOP 10 materials , use

APPEND target_table SORTED BY sales_value .

where ,

target_table : an internal table with OCCURS 10 in the declaration

sales_value : a field in target_table

Thanks Kamlesh,

Do you mean to say that I copy the lines of the code that you've given insted of APPEND ls_target TO et_target. ?

Also, I believe I shall have to replace "sales_value" with the name of the sales key figure .

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks,

Hi Kamlesh,

It still didn't work.

It is throwing the same error:

Syntax error: The system expected a key specification in the form "KEY k1 ... kn", "TABLE LINE", or "DEFAULT KEY". -

Yeah Sharmistha Biswas ,

I am so sorry that I haven't told you to NOT to use the SORT command .

Please do not use that SORT command , delete that entire statement .

Proceed and see , and do tell me what's the status .

Kamlesh,

Now, my code looks like this, but still gives the same error

DATA: ls_source like table of y_source_fields with headerline,

ls_target like table of y_target_fields with header line.

data: rank(4) type N.

loop at ls_source into ls_source.

add 1 to rank.

MOVE-CORRESPONDING ls_source TO ls_target.

ls_target-key(10) = ls_target-BPARTNER.

ls_target-key+10(4) = ls_target-MDCHBWCCO__FRCHSHOP.

ls_target-RANKING = rank.

APPEND target_table SORTED BY sales_value .

where ,

target_table : an internal table with OCCURS 10 in the declaration

sales_value : a field in target_table

ENDLOOP.

Sharmishtha Biswas ,

I have modified your code , see if it works :

DATA: ls_source like table of y_source_fields with header line,

ls_target like table of y_target_fields with header line.

"data : rank TYPE N(4) .

loop at ls_source .

"add 1 to rank.

MOVE-CORRESPONDING ls_source TO ls_target.

ls_target-key(10) = ls_target-BPARTNER.

ls_target-key+10(4) = ls_target-MDCHBWCCO__FRCHSHOP.

"ls_target-RANKING = rank.

APPEND ls_target SORTED BY ____________ .

ENDLOOP.

Copy and paste the above code in the place of your code .

Remove all _s (underscores) after SORTED BY .

Specify the field of "y_target_fields" table , which represent "sales" ,

instead (after SORTED BY)

Kamlesh,

I must thank you a lot !

I believe the code you've sent is absolutely correct but my lack of knowledge of certain things is leaving me with some errors.

I'll try to debug as I very well understand that its not the fault of the code.

I am unable to assign the correct source fields.

Thanks for all your help !

Best regards,

Sharmishtha Biswas
