In this article I will discuss the various aspects of ABAP programming. I will try and come out with

subequent articles to add to the content in this section. If you have any thoughts or comments please put them in the

comments section below.

Data Dictionary

A data dictionary is a centralized storage location for

information about the data that is stored in a database. This information is often called metadata (data about data).

What are SAP Smart Forms?

SAP Smart Forms is a new functionality that was introduced

in SAP Basis Release 4.6C as the tool for creating and maintaining forms.

SAP help describes them

as:

SAP Smart Forms provide a graphical user interface that helps you create and maintain the layout and

the form logic of a form: the SAP Form Builder. You need neither have any programming knowledge nor use a Script language to

adapt standard forms. Basic ABAP programming skills are required only in special cases (for example, to call a function

module you created or for complex and extensive conditions).

System gets

stuck
It happens mostly when archive area is overloaded. Run the program brarchive with deletion option to

release disk space.

Short dump
Not always the problem is technical. Try to create all SAPoffice users

through transaction SO32 (create all SAPoffice users) and review your application data.

Field exits are completely

ignored
Make sure your SAP profile parameter contains the option abap/fieldexit = yes.

General command field

formats

[table=tables-colorful-list Command | Description
/n | Goto the subsequent record while process a

batch session
/bend | Cancel a batch input foreground process
/nend | Close all R/3 sessions and logoff

/nyyyy | Call the transaction yyyy in the current session
/o | Generate a session list
/oxxxx | Call

the transaction xxxx in an additional session

I have recently been working on this small assignment that is not

something I like to do. Not only does the work stink but its something that an undergrad could do!! I would like to move

forward in life .. not backwards! So if I opt out of it - is that lack of team spirit or my passion to achieve my

ambitions?

These are some of the tips for a regular traveller that most of us SAP folks are! I will keep on

adding to these - it is not an exhaustive list.. its a live document.

Of course, these are from the perspective of

a GUY - some ladies might want to give their perspective also of similar tips for travelling women.

Ok, let me talk about this project where this project manager goes

to the team members and keeps a tab on every task they do during the day. The project plan is there.. but the team members

really do not follow it.

I am travelling consultant so I will include my experiences of my

travels also in this blog!

This morning when I came to the gate - they announced that except for the First Class, rest

will go by seat numbers.
