Q16. Differentiate between Character format & Paragraph format?

Ans: Paragraph format is used for formatting a paragraph, we can add tabs in this.We can use character format in paragraph format. Character format are used for assigning various attributes of font ( size, type, bold }.

Q17. What are the different methods of passing data?

Ans: Calling by reference: During a subroutine call, only the address of the actual parameter is transferred to the formal parameters. The formal parameter has no memory of its own, and we work with the field of the calling program within the subroutine. If we change the formal parameter, the field contents in the calling program also changes.

Calling by value: During a subroutine call, the formal parameters are created as copies of the actual parameters.The formal parameters have memory of their own.Changes to the formal parameters have no effect on the actual parameters.

Call by value and result: Similar to pass by value, but the contents of new memory is copied back into the original memory before returning.

Q18. What is the difference between the function module and external subroutine?

Ans: Table work area are not shared between the function module and calling program. Whereas subroutine use shared same work area. We can leave a function module using Raise statement.Whereas check,exit or stop are used to leave a subroutine . Function module has special interface to define parameters.Whereas subroutine don’t have.

Q19. What are the different print modes used in SAP Script & explain?

Ans: S The page is printed in simplex mode. That is, the printer should print on only one side of the paper. If another mode was previously active, then the printer is switched to simplex mode with the start of the page.

D The page is printed on the first side of a sheet in duplex mode. If another mode was previously active, then the printer is switched to duplex mode with the start of the page and continues in this mode.

T The page is printed on the first side of a sheet in tumble duplex mode. That is, the printer prints on both sides. The page on the second side is always inverted, so that the footer of the second page is printed opposite the header of the first page.

Q20. Which are the components of function group?

Ans:

  • A main program.
  • A top include.
  • A UXX include.
  • A function module include.

Q21. Which are the function modules used in a print program?

Ans:

  • Open_Form.

Ans: To describe the logical structures of the objects that are used in application development ABAP 4 data dictionary is used.  It is also used to show the underlying relational database in tables.

Q24. Explain the difference between pool tables and transparent tables?

Ans: Transparent tables:  It has one to one relation with the table in the database.  Its structure corresponds to single database field.

Pooled tables: It has many to one relation with the table in the database.  Pooled tables are stored at the database level.

Basic List: For simple reports

Statistics:  For Percentage, Average etc.

Ranked List : For analytical reports

Q25. What is cardinality in WebDynpro ABAP?

Ans: Cardinality is a property which specifies how many records that can be stored in a node.

Q26. What is MVC in WebDynpro ABAP?

Ans: In ABAP dictionary, select object type Table,  enter a table name and choose create

A field maintenance screen for the table is displayed. Table type Transparent table, set it as a default

Make the necessary entries in the short description and delivery classified on the Attributes page. Then define the fields of the table.

Proceed as when creating a transparent table. Now save your entries

Now choose EXTRASàChange table category

When a dialogue box appears you have to select the table type ‘Pooled table’ or ‘Cluster table’

After selecting the table, return to the field maintenance screen for the table. Field pool or cluster name is displayed on the Attributes tab page in addition to the standard fields.

Now enter the name of the table cluster or table pool to which you want to assign the cluster table.

Q40. When do we use End-of-selection?

Q41. How can you format the data before write statement in the report?

Ans: By using the loop event the reports output can be formatted

.at first

.at new

.at last

Q42. What is table buffer?  Which type of tables used this buffer?

Ans: Over here, buffer means memory area, table buffer means the table information is available on the application server.  When you call data from database table, it will come from application server.  Transparent tables and pool tables are buffered, while cluster table cannot be buffered.

Q43. What is the difference between ‘Type’ and ‘Like’?

‘Type’:  You assign data type directly to the data object while declaring.

‘Like’:  You assign the data type of another object to the declaring data object.
