ABAP / 4 INTERVIEW QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS

1)         What is SAP R/3?

Ans      SAP R/3 refers to Systems Application and Product for data processing Real-time having a 3 tier architecture i.e. Presentation layer, Application layer and Database layer.

2)         What are the programming standards followed?

3)         What are the contents in technical specifications?

Ans      There are five contents in Technical Settings: Data Class, Size Category, Buffering Permission, Buffering Type and Logging.

4)         What is an instance?

Ans      When you call a function module, an instance of its function group plus its data, is loaded into the memory area of the internal session. An ABAP program can load several instances by calling function modules from different function groups.

5)         How to take care of performance in ABAP Development?

6)         What is Function group? Difference between function group and function module?

Ans      Function Groups act as containers for Function Modules that logically belong together.

            Function Groups                                  

1)      These cannot be defined in a Function Module.

2)      It cannot be called.

3)      They are containers for Function Module.

 

Function Modules

 

1)      These must be defined in a Function Group.

2)      It can be called from any program.

3)      They are not containers for Function Group.           

           

7)         What is the difference between 'Select single * ' and 'Select upto 1 rows'?

Ans      ‘Select single *’ – The result of the selection should be a single entry. If it is not possible to identify a unique entry, the system uses the first line of the selection. For e.g. 

 

            DATA : ITAB TYPE ZREKHA_EMP.

 

            SELECT SINGLE * FROM ZREKHA_EMP INTO ITAB

WHERE EMPNO = ‘00101’ AND DEPTNO = ‘0010’.

 

            WRITE : / ITAB-EMPNO, ITAB-EMPNAME,ITAB-DEPTNO.

 

            Select upto 1 rows -

           

8)         What Function does data dictionary perform?

Ans      Central information repository for application and system data. The ABAP Dictionary contains data definitions (metadata) that allow you to describe all of the data structures in the system (like tables, views, and data types) in one place. This eliminates redundancy.

 9)         Difference between domain and data element? What are aggregate object?

Ans      Domain - Specifies the technical attributes of a data element - its data type, length, possible values, and appearance on the screen. Each data element has an underlying domain. A single domain can be the basis for several data elements. Domains are objects in the ABAP Dictionary.

            Data Element - Describes the business function of a table field. Its technical attributes are based on a domain, and its business function is described by its field labels and documentation.

            Aggregate Object – Views, Match Code and Lock objects are called aggregate objects because they are formed from several related table.

10)       What is view? Different types of view. Explain?

Ans      View - A view is a virtual table containing fields from one or more tables. A virtual table that does not contain any data, but instead provides an application-oriented view of one or more ABAP Dictionary tables.

             Different Types of View:

 1)      Maintenance

2)      Database – It is on more than two tables.

3)      Projection – It is only on one table.

4)      Help

 11)       Can u print decimals in type N? What is difference between float and packed data type?

Ans      No, we cannot print decimals in type N because decimal places are not permitted with N

data type.

             Float Data Type: It cannot be declared in Parameters.

             Packed Number: It can be declared in Parameters. For e.g.

             PARAMETERS : A(4) TYPE P DECIMALS 2,

                                          B(4) TYPE P DECIMALS 2.

             DATA : C(4) TYPE P DECIMALS 2.

           C = A + B.

            WRITE : / ‘THE SUM IS’ , C.

           

12)       What is step-loop? Explain all the steps?

Ans      A step loop is a repeated series of field-blocks in a screen. Each block can contain one or more fields, and can extend over more than one line on the screen.

Step loops as structures in a screen do not have individual names. The screen can contain more than one step-loop, but if so, you must program the LOOP...ENDLOOPs in the flow logic accordingly. The ordering of the LOOP...ENDLOOPs must exactly parallel the order of the step loops in the screen. The ordering tells the system which loop processing to apply to which loop. Step loops in a screen are ordered primarily by screen row, and secondarily by screen column.

Transaction TZ61 (development class SDWA) implements a step loop version of the table you saw in transaction TZ60.

Static and Dynamic Step Loops

Step loops fall into two classes: static and dynamic. Static step loops have a fixed size that cannot be changed at runtime. Dynamic step loops are variable in size. If the user re-sizes the window, the system automatically increases or decreases the number of step loop blocks displayed. In any given screen, you can define any number of static step loops, but only a single dynamic one.

You specify the class for a step loop in the Screen Painter. Each loop in a screen has the attributes Looptype (fixed=static, variable=dynamic) and Loopcount. If a loop is fixed, the Loopcount tells the number of loop-blocks displayed for the loop. This number can never change.

Programming with static and dynamic step loops is essentially the same. You can use both the LOOP and LOOP AT statements for both types.

Looping in a Step Loop

When you use LOOP AT <internal-table> with a step loop, the system automatically displays the step loop with vertical scroll bars. The scroll bars, and the updated (scrolled) table display, are managed by the system.

Use the following additional parameters if desired:

  • FROM <line1> and TO <line2>
  • CURSOR <scroll-var>

21)       What do you know about a client?

Ans     

 

 

 

 

22)       What are the system fields? Explain?

Ans      The ABAP system fields are active in all ABAP programs. They are filled by the runtime environment, and you can query their values in a program to find out particular states of the system. Although they are variables, you should not assign your own values to them, since this may overwrite information that is important for the normal running of the program. However, there are some isolated cases in which you may need to overwrite a system variable. For example, by assigning a new value to the field SY-LSIND, you can control navigation within details lists.

 

23)       What is SAP Script? What is the purpose of SAP Script? Difference between

SAP Script and Report?

Ans      SAP Script – It is the integrated text management system of the SAP R/3 System. Two types – PC Editor & Line Editor.

 

Reports -  It is the way to display data fetched from database table onto screen or directly output it to a printer. Two types – Classical and Interactive.

 

24)       What is the use of occurs in internal table? Can u change occurs value in program?

Ans      Use of Occurs - If you use the OCCURS parameter, the value of the INITIAL SIZE of the table is returned to the variable <n>

 

                        Data :  Begin of ITAB occurs 0,

 

                        End of ITAB.

 

Occurs or Initial Size – to specify the initial amount of memory that should be assigned to the table.

 

            Yes, we can change the occurs value in program but output remains the same.

 

25)       Difference between SY-TABIX and SY-INDEX? Where it is used?

Can u check SY-SUBRC after perform?

Ans      SY-TABIX - Current line of an internal table. SY-TABIX is set by the statements below, but only for index tables. The field is either not set or is set to 0 for hashed tables.

  • APPEND sets SY-TABIX to the index of the last line of the table, that is, it contains the overall number of entries in the table.
  • COLLECT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the existing or inserted line in the table. If the table has the type HASHED TABLE, SY-TABIX is set to 0.
  • LOOP AT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the current line at the beginning of each loop lass. At the end of the loop, SY-TABIX is reset to the value that it had before entering the loop. It is set to 0 if the table has the type HASHED TABLE.
  • READ TABLE sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table line read. If you use a binary search, and the system does not find a line, SY-TABIX contains the total number of lines, or one more than the total number of lines. SY-INDEX is undefined if a linear search fails to return an entry.
  • SEARCH <itab> FOR sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table line in which the search string is found.

SY_INDEX - In a DO or WHILE loop, SY-INDEX contains the number of loop passes including the current pass.

 

 

 

26)       Difference between UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD?

Ans      UPLOAD - File transfer with dialog from presentation server file to internal table. Data which is available in a file on the presentation server is transferred in an internal table. ASCII & Binary files can be transferred.

 

WS_UPLOAD - To read data from the presentation server into an internal table without a user dialog, use the function module WS_UPLOAD. The most important parameters are listed below.

29)       What are the events used for Logical Database?

Ans      Two Events –

 

1)         GET - This is the most important event for executable programs that use a logical database. It occurs when the logical database has read a line from the node <table> and made it available to the program in the work area declared using the statement NODES <table>. The depth to which the logical database is read is determined by the GET statements

 

2)        PUT - The PUT statement directs the program flow according to the structure of  

            the logical database.

 

30)       What is the difference between Get and Get Late?

58)       What is LUW?

Ans      Logical Unit of Work

 

 

 

 

59)       Different types of LUWs. What r they?

Ans      Two types of LUW are:

 

1)      DB LUW - A database LUW is the mechanism used by the database to ensure that its data is always consistent. A database LUW is an inseparable sequence of database operations that ends with a database commit. The database LUW is either fully executed by the database system or not at all. Once a database LUW has been successfully executed, the database will be in a consistent state. If an error occurs within a database LUW, all of the database changes since the beginning of the database LUW are reversed. This leaves the database in the state it had before the transaction started.

2)      SAP LUW - A logical unit consisting of dialog steps, whose changes are written to the database in a single database LUW is called an SAP LUW. Unlike a database LUW, an SAP LUW can span several dialog steps, and be executed using a series of different work processes.

Like REFRESH, FREE works on the table body, not on the table work area. After a FREE statement, you can address the internal table again. It still occupies the amount of memory required for its header (currently 256 bytes). When you refill the table, the system has to allocate new memory space to the lines.

           

Refresh - This always applies to the body of the table. As with the CLEAR statement, the memory used by the table before you initialized it remains allocated. To release the memory space, use the statement
