Standard Include containing often used constants?

[Former Member]

Well, hi there,

does anyone know of a (or several) standard include(s) containing usually for developping needed constants like:

Flags: true = 'X' or c_x = 'X'

Select Options: incl = 'I', excl = 'E', between = 'BT' , equal = 'EQ', etc.

Date: End = '99991231', Begin = '19000101' etc.

etc.

Someone must have thought this idea before!

Your hint will be appreciated!

Hi

Usually this varies from Implementation to implementation depending upon the ABAP Standards which has been documented.

So I dont think that you have a standard include program for Constants

Do check this one out , these are for ALV programs

Hi Dominic,

i agree, definition always depends on the programming goal i want to achieve. But you know, some things (e.g. c_x type char1 value 'X') do cross my way far to often.

There are type-pools i know, which provide structures for ALV, like type pool SLIS. The sense behind is the same.

Still i haven't found Your TOP_INCLUDE_PHIL. I searched in Release 4.7.

Thanx for your reply and have a nice day/night out there whereever you are!

Hello Gunther

A type-pool with very useful constants is <b>ABAP</b>.

Hi Uwe,

thanx for your reply. That's rather something i was looking for. Also the package SABP is quite interesting to see.
