ABAP IN ECLIPSE - INSTALL, CONFIGURE, USE, AND ENHANCE YOUR ADT

Details Łukasz Pęgiel Thoughts 11 June 2021 Hits: 6189

If you follow me on social media, you probably already know that I have written
a book about ABAP in Eclipse. The full title is: ABAP in Eclipse - Install,
Configure, Use, and Enhance Your ADT and it is pointed to all ADT users as it
covers the topics from installation up to extension of Eclipse. If you have the
book, let me know your feedback, as this is most important for an author to see
where he did well and where he need to still learn.

ALV GRID IN THE NUTSHELL: FIELD CATALOG - COL_ID - ALV CONTROL: COLUMN ID

Details Łukasz Pęgiel ALV Grid in the nutshell 08 June 2020 Hits: 6941
Tags: CL_GUI_ALV_GRID , ALV GRID IN THE NUTSHELL , FIELDCATALOG , LVC_T_FCAT ,
COL_ID , ALV GRID

Column ID is not really a special field in ALV. It is always filled
automatically by ALV and your manual entries are overwritten and set to the same
value as COL_POS (Column position).

I’ve prepared a demo program (ZDEMO_AIN_CL46) to show you, how the COL_ID is
changing on a base of COL_POS. On the selection screen you can find two
radio-buttons.
 





Figure 120 ZDEMO_AIN_CL46 Selection screen

 

When you select the first option - “COL_ID filled”,  the FCAT will be created
with manual COL_ID.

I was trying to find an usage of this field in ALV, but I failed. Any of known
behaviours of ALV didn’t shown anything on a base of this field.

ALV GRID IN THE NUTSHELL: FIELD CATALOG - HOTSPOT - ALV CONTROL:
SINGLECLICK-SENSITIVE

Details Łukasz Pęgiel ALV Grid in the nutshell 27 April 2020 Hits: 19644
Tags: CL_GUI_ALV_GRID , ALV GRID IN THE NUTSHELL , FIELDCATALOG , LVC_T_FCAT ,
HOTSPOT , ALV GRID

Hotspot fields are very widely used in ALV, such fields have the behaviour and
style of hyperlinks, which means they are triggering the single-click event of
ALV called HOTSPOT_CLICK. It is commonly used to show the details of the clicked
object, or to move to a transaction in which the object can be modified.

As you can imagine, setting column as a HOTSPOT is very easy, you need to pass
only the ABAP_TRUE (‘X’) value to the field catalog, but this will only change
the style of the field (content of the field is underlined) and it will fire the
HOTSPOT_CLICK event.

ALV GRID IN THE NUTSHELL: FIELD CATALOG - SP_GROUP - GROUP KEY

Details Łukasz Pęgiel ALV Grid in the nutshell 18 April 2020 Hits: 9140

Tags: CL_GUI_ALV_GRID , ALV GRID IN THE NUTSHELL , FIELDCATALOG , LVC_T_FCAT ,
SP_GROUP , ALV GRID

Group key is not widely used but it has nice feature. Once you group the field
catalog fields and you pass the group name into parameter IT_SPECIAL_GROUPS of
method SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY, then in selection of fields to display in
layout change window, you’ll be able to choose to see all hidden fields or the
hidden fields from the group you’ve created. If you don’t pass the group name
into IT_SPECIAL_GROUPS, then this setting of field catalog has no impact on
display.

 

For my demo program ZDEMO_AIN_CL43, I’ve created a field catalog with REF_TABLE
filled for all fields, so it is easier to understand the functionality.
Additionally, I’ve hidden all fields that have SP_GROUP filled, so you can check
the behaviour directly after running the program.

ALV GRID IN THE NUTSHELL: FIELD CATALOG - DOMNAME - DOMAIN NAME

Details Łukasz Pęgiel ALV Grid in the nutshell 18 April 2020 Hits: 5489

Tags: CL_GUI_ALV_GRID , ALV GRID IN THE NUTSHELL , FIELDCATALOG , LVC_T_FCAT ,
DOMNAME , ALV GRID

You may suspect that setting up a domain name in the field catalog will make
some effect on the display, for example in data type, length, lowercase sign,
 but it seems that it has no effect in ALV grid. Maybe just for information and
for Report-Report interface, where this field is use as one of the matching
criteria for selection-screen parameters.

As you can see on the next image, although I gave the DOMNAME value FLAG, it
didn’t changed anything in the field catalog.

ALV GRID IN THE NUTSHELL: FIELD CATALOG - REPREP - ALV CONTROL: VALUE IS
SELECTION CRITERION FOR REP./REP.INTF.

Details Łukasz Pęgiel ALV Grid in the nutshell 13 April 2020 Hits: 6292

Tags: CL_GUI_ALV_GRID , ALV GRID IN THE NUTSHELL , FIELDCATALOG , LVC_T_FCAT ,
REPREP , ALV GRID

Before writing this part, I was never using Report-Report Interface, so probably
it is not common scenario to do so, or it is not used with the systems I had
possibility to use. But anyway I’ve made a deep dive into topic, to understand
how we can use this interface and for which purpose.  

Seems that, using this interface, you can call from ALV grid an BW Query, SAP
Query, ABAP Report Program or Transaction. Probably depending on the installed
version of your system, or addons, the list of the interfaces may be longer.

Anyway I’ve focused here on a simple example of calling another ABAP report
using RRI. At the beginning I was wondering if configuration in table TRSTI and
setting the parameter REPREP to ABAP_TRUE will be enough to call the interface.
So I’ve started with filling TRSTI, where I’ve set sender and receiver, both as
RT (ABAP Report Program).

ALV GRID IN THE NUTSHELL: FIELD CATALOG - REPTEXT – HEADING

Details Łukasz Pęgiel ALV Grid in the nutshell 13 April 2020 Hits: 8009

Tags: CL_GUI_ALV_GRID , ALV GRID IN THE NUTSHELL , FIELDCATALOG , LVC_T_FCAT ,
REPTEXT , ALV GRID

This field allows us to set (or change) the header text of the column. It can
consist up to 55 characters in lowercase mode. When you use data dictionary
reference ( REF_FIELD, REF_TABLE ) it is populated automatically from the data
element of the referenced field.

ALV GRID IN THE NUTSHELL: FIELD CATALOG - LOWERCASE - LOWERCASE LETTERS
ALLOWED/NOT ALLOWED

Details Łukasz Pęgiel ALV Grid in the nutshell 13 April 2020 Hits: 6170

Tags: CL_GUI_ALV_GRID , ALV GRID IN THE NUTSHELL , FIELDCATALOG , LVC_T_FCAT ,
LOWERCASE , ALV GRID

The changes of this parameter are only visible in edit mode and makes sense only
for character or string fields. If it is set to ABAP_TRUE (‘X’), then the ALV
grid stores in internal table the value in lowercase, if the value of the
parameter is empty, then it will always convert the entered value to uppercase.

ALV GRID IN THE NUTSHELL: FIELD CATALOG - INTLEN - INTERNAL LENGTH IN BYTES

Details Łukasz Pęgiel ALV Grid in the nutshell 13 April 2020 Hits: 3747

Tags: CL_GUI_ALV_GRID , ALV GRID IN THE NUTSHELL , FIELDCATALOG , LVC_T_FCAT ,
INTLEN , ALV GRID

As the description says, the meaning of that field is to set the internal length
of the field in Bytes. During my whole career as ABAP Developer, I had never
filled that field manually. Usually you’ll not bother yourself about it. But if
you do, then take into consideration following information:

 * Length is in Bytes, so remember that it doesn’t mean, that one character
   takes one Byte
 * In display mode, you’ll not notice probably any change
 * When you’ll setup this incorrectly, you may have problems when you allow grid
   to be editable, for example:
   When I’ve set the INTLEN to ‘2’ for column FLTIME, then although I’ve entered
   the value of ‘12’ into the column, system didn’t allowed me to save it.

DOWNLOADING EXCHANGE RATES FROM NBP (NATIONAL BANK OF POLAND)

Tags: BAPI_EXCHANGERATE_CREATE , CL_HTTP_CLIENT , CALL TRANSFORMATION

Following the example of downloading exchange rates from Central Bank Of Turkey
using transformations, please find bellow the same way for National Bank of
Poland.

Again, lets create an RFC destination (lets call it here Z_DESTINATION_TO_NBP)
tha will point to https://www.nbp.pl/kursy/xml/lasta.xml, where the last
exchange rates are posted.

DOWNLOADING EXCHANGE RATES FROM CENTRAL BANK OF TURKEY

Details Łukasz Pęgiel How to... 06 April 2020 Hits: 7035
Tags: BAPI_EXCHANGERATE_CREATE , CL_HTTP_CLIENT , CALL TRANSFORMATION

One of the standard requests that comes with every SAP implementation is
automatic download of exchange rates to your system. Today I will show you on an
example of Central Bank Of Turkey, how to transform XML from bank site into
internal table, which can be then used inside your code to populate values of 
BAPI_EXCHANGERATE_CREATE FM.

There are few ways to download the XML to your ABAP code, I prefer to create an
RFC destination (lets call it here Z_DESTINATION_TO_TCMB), as on many servers
you need to provide credentials for PROXY and it is safer to keep it saved
inside RFC destination, than in your ABAP code in plain text.

So lets assume you have an RFC destination that points
to https://tcmb.gov.tr/kurlar/today.xml. It will look like this:

ABAP EXTENSIONS - AUTOMATIC LOGON

Details Łukasz Pęgiel How to... 04 January 2020 Hits: 13518
Tags: ECLIPSE , ADT , PLUGIN , ABAP EXTENSIONS , AUTOMATIC LOGON

Yesterday I've announced that I'm working on automatic logon to SAP systems on
Eclipse. Today the changes in the plugin ABAP Extensions for Eclipse are
published and you can use the first version of the automatic logon on your
installations.

 

ABAP Extensions plugin you can find in Eclipse Marketplace or by doing direct
installation from this link http://abapblog.com/eclipse/plugin/ABAPFavorites/ or
by using the install button which you can find on the right side of this page.

 

After installation of update will be able to set the preference if you want to
do automatic logon at start of Eclipse and if you want to logon automatically
only to the systems, for which you have stored the password already. These are
also default settings for the plugin. The logon happens in the background job.
So if you have several systems in your workspace, it will take a while to logon
to all the systems. The progress you can follow in the Progress View.

ALV GRID IN THE NUTSHELL: FIELD CATALOG - INTTYPE - ABAP DATA TYPE (C,D,N,...)

Details Łukasz Pęgiel ALV Grid in the nutshell 18 December 2019 Hits: 8686

Tags: CL_GUI_ALV_GRID , ALV GRID IN THE NUTSHELL , FIELDCATALOG , LVC_T_FCAT ,
INTTYPE , ALV GRID

As you can imagine, INTTYPE is just a presentation of DATATYPE in internal SAP
format in most of cases. I wrote most of cases because it can also say if the
field in internal table is a reference to other type, or for example a table.

Just like DATATYPE, you don’t need to fill this field manually, when you’ll
leave it empty, ALV grid will automatically setup a proper type according to
referenced internal table field. But if you’ll have unstoppable need of filling
it, then the behaviour of the column will be exactly the same like you would use
DATATYPE field, means JUST, OUTPUTLEN, INTTYPE, INTLEN and DD_OUTLEN fields will
be also field and the difference on the screen will be not that huge.
