Hi

I have done HR reports,but i didnt use logical databases.

I used HR tables,results table,technical wage types and displayed output.

Is it mandatory to use Logical databases?what is PNP and PNCP?

where do we use these PNP and PNCP?in se37?or in program?ad what are the advantages if we use logical database?

Thanks in advance.

its not mandatory to USE LDB's

Advantages : Less coding and no need to check for Authorization(?) manually , No need to design the selection

screen .. U can change the sel. screen using the report categories provided or create your own categories.

Disadvantages : Performance problems if data base is huge.

We'll give these in SE38 in the Attributes screen

We use PNP , PCH , PNPCE .. No PNCP LDB ..

PNPCE we get the Central person concept which is not there is 4.6c

Hi,

PNP and PNPCE are used for PA reporting.

They are logical database.If you are going to use them in the program,you need to give them in the program attribute screen.

Logical database(tcode se36) advantages:

selection screen

authorisation

Data retrival

Hi,

LDB's just help with a selection screen, authorization check and data extraction for mentioned infotypes.

PNP & PNPCE holds different table datas to extract.

Check their code in SE36.

For a good example just go throught report RPLICO10.

Hi

Thanks guys

One question

Do we need to use provide * <infotype> if we use ldb's or also we can write

normal selects also??

any example ??

Thanks

[suresh_datti]

with LDB.. the declared infotypes are loaded for each pernr at the GET PERNR event.. you don't need to use the SELECT again.. you can use PROVIDE or LOOP to read the infotype itabs p0001,p0002 etc..

Hi,

If you are using LDB (say PNP),you should use <b>Get pernr</b> statement after start-of-selection.

infotypes p0001.

start-of-selection.

get pernr.

provide * from p0001 between pn-begda and pn-endda.

write : / p0001-pernr, p0001-stell.

endprovide.

end-of-selection.

This will fetch the data according to your selections in logical database selection screen.

If you are using select statement while using ldb,it won't be meaningful.

Main advantage is using ldb will take care of authorisation.But select statement won't take care of authorisation.

Hi,

Check the coding here for provide...endprovide without using LDB.
