Common Questions and Answers about ABAP/4 and Developments

I had seen some of the standard abap that the table name had *, like *ekpo. What is the meaning? What is

the difference between with * and without * ?

It just lets you use the table a second time. For example:

select single * from ekpo where ebeln = '!"#$' and ebelp = ''.

select single * from *ekpo where ebeln = '%&()' and ebelp = ''.

ou now ha+e two separate records, one in ekpo and one in *ekpo.

-nother way to do this is to simply use the 'into' argument in the 'select' statement to read the second ekpo recordinto some other field. he '*' format can be confusing, I think it may be left o+er from earlier releases, like !.!.

/012 is database table and */012 is internal table.

2nce you select into /012, you can use it the same way as */012.

'2$ "at is step-loop6 ,5plain all t"e steps6Ans A step loop is a repeated series of field'blocks in a screen3 (ac% block can contain one or mo

fields4 and can e"tend o2er more t%an one line on t%e screen3

;tep loops as structures in a screen do not ha+e indi+idual names. he screen can contain more than onestepBloop, but if so, you must program the 5221.../35221s in the flow logic accordingly. he orderingof the 5221.../35221s must exactly parallel the order of the step loops in the screen. he ordering tellthe system which loop processing to apply to which loop. ;tep loops in a screen are ordered primarily byscreen row, and secondarily by screen column.

ransaction H% >de+elopment class ;3D-? implements a step loop +ersion of the table you saw intransaction H%).

;tatic and 3ynamic ;tep 5oops

;tep loops fall into two classes: static and dynamic. ;tatic step loops ha+e a fixed siKe that cannot bechanged at runtime. 3ynamic step loops are +ariable in siKe. If the user reBsiKes the window, the systemautomatically increases or decreases the number of step loop blocks displayed. In any gi+en screen, you cadefine any number of static step loops, but only a single dynamic one.

ou specify the class for a step loop in the ;creen 1ainter. /ach loop in a screen has the attributes 5ooptyp

>fixed=static, +ariable=dynamic? and 5oopcount. If a loop is fixed, the 5oopcount tells the number of loopblocks displayed for the loop. his number can ne+er change.

1rogramming with static and dynamic step loops is essentially the same. ou can use both the 5221 and5221 - statements for both types.

5ooping in a ;tep 5oop

Dhen you use 5221 - internalBtableG with a step loop, the system automatically displays the step loopwith +ertical scroll bars. he scroll bars, and the updated >scrolled? table display, are managed by thesystem.
