EHS Programming guide

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am new to the EHS Programming world and trying to find good documentation on EHS programming differences than normal ABAP.

Also trying to understand more on API - how to identify / use API for reading data from system.

Any help/links would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hello,

EHS programming world is nothing different than R/3 programming; ABAP being the language for codes.

Just to give you a feel of the technicalities, the functional methods and data objects of EHS IH (Industrial hygiene and safety) belong to the function groups CBIH_* (e.g. CBIH_WA* for work area data).

E. g. Typical APIs are :

- CBIH_WA30_WA_CREATE (_UPDATE etc.) (= "Create"-API for work area data) or

- CBIH_ER30_ER_CREATE (_UPDATE etc.) (= "Create"-API for exposure profile and risk assessment data)

(Notice there are 1450 CBIH* function modules)

The ABAP reports for the evaluation of EHS data are usally named REHS_* (such as "REHS_HAZARD_SUBSTANCE_REGISTER"). These reports are particulary allowed to be taken as templates for own, customer specific evaluation programs, that could be incorporated within the "IH information system" (transaction CBIH63) or capsuled as single new SAP transactions.

For the creation and enhancement of special functional methods for WWI symbols ("WWI expansion methods") see the corresponding IMG documentation.
