Dennis Barrett's ABAP Tools and Goodies
Here are some ABAP-related things that I have written
- The updates and corrections that readers have sent or that I have found
are available in the list of
corrections to the book.
Download this 12 July 1998 version.
- I wrote an article about the techniques you can use to identify the
transparent tables where fields that you see on a screen are stored
so you can include the data in a report. It was published in the
Sep-Oct 2000 issue of SAP Professional Journal.
Here's a local copy of the same material with some minor changes and an
additional technique.
SAP Table and Field search techniques
- The Spring 2000 issues of the PM/CS e-Newsletter contained my article
Customer Service ABAP Tables for Programmers,
published in two successive parts.
The e-Newsletter was sent to all SAP Consultants working in Plant
Maintenance and Customer Service.
- The book contains a shell program that you can use to start writing. It
has all the code blocks identified and much of the housekeeping
already done for you. Download a file of
the shell program here.
- I also wrote the opening chapter of a proposed ABAP/4
programming manual. I called that chapter the
Quickstart.
The book wasn't completed, but I think this is a great introduction
to ABAP programming. This chapter is also shown in
SAP FANS
(choose R3 on their left menu, then ABAP/4).
- And I co-wrote the
York-Mills Notation which provides a means for recording and
publishing navigation paths for interactive SAP.
- Here's a great little program that will
find the menu paths that lead to a transaction code,
or to a menu item description. Thanks to Mark Molsberry for adding
transaction codes to the output.
- This little report shows all the
screen attributes that you can create with the FORMAT command:
colors, intensification, inverse, hotspot and input.
- Create this VIEW to browse the database
for function modules.
