    Creating a Program:

    TCode: se38
    After clicking the save button a popup screen will appear, from that select the „Local object‟
    option to assign the program to the temporary development class. Once this is achieved, the
    coding screen is reached.

    Declaring Variables
    There are some rules to be followed when dealing with variables:
    They must begin with a letter.
    Can be a maximum size of 30 characters,
    Cannot include + , : or ( ) in the name,
    Cannot use a reserved word.
    Constants
    A constant is a variable whose associated value cannot be altered by the program during its
    execution, hence the name
    Arithmetic – Addition

    Arithmetic – Subtraction

    Arithmetic – Division

    Arithmetic – Multiplication
    Additionally to these methods, the statements ADD, SUBTRACT, DIVIDE and MULTIPLY can
    be used. The syntax for these is slightly different. Beneath the first calculation (where integer01
    and packed_decimal01 where added), write a new line of code “ADD 8 to result.” (Ignore the
    comment line in the image):

    While this is a legitimate method for calculations, it must be added that this is very rarely used,
    as the initial method is much simpler.

    Character Strings
    two elementary data types used for character strings. These are data type C, and data type N.

    Data type C variables are used for holding alphanumeric characters, with a minimum of 1
    character and a maximum of 65,535 characters. By default, these are aligned to the left.

    The other common generic character string data type is N. data type NUMC, with a length
    of 8.

    This data type, then, is ideal when the field is only to be used for numbers with no intention of
    carrying out cal-culations.

    ABAP Program Events In SAP
    INITIALIZATION
    Called after the abap selection screen code has been processed (i.e. parameters, select-options etc) but before
    these are displayed to the user. So you can use it to initialize input fields of the selection screen or change the
    default values of these before the user gets to enter data into them.

    AT SELECTION SCREEN OUTPUT


    This is called just before the selection screen is displayed and can be used to manipulate the actual selection
    screen attributes using teh loop at screen functionality. This allows you to do things like hide fields, grey them
    out so they are output only or make them intensified etc.

    LOOP AT SCREEN.
    IF SCREEN-name = 'P_FIELd1'.
    SCREEN-INTENSIFIED = '1'.
    MODIFY SCREEN.
    CONTINUE.
    ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.

    AT SELECTION-SCREEN.
    This event is triggered when the user presses enter on the report selection screen and is mainly used to add
    processing related to screen validation. Within the AT SELECTION SCREEN event you have not left the
    selection screen, which allows you to manipulate the values contained within sel screen parameters or stop the
    program and return the user to the selection screen by displaying an error message.

    AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON
    This allows you to add processing to a selection screen field for when it is chnaged, user presses F1 or F4 etc
    using the following parameters

    <parameter1>
    AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON Block <block1>
    AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON HELP-REQUEST for <parameter1> (i.e. When press F1)
    AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST for <parameter1> (i.e. When press F4)
    AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON RADIOBUTTON for <parameter1> (i.e. When press F4)

    AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON P_FIELD1.
    AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON help-request for P_FIELD1.

    START-OF-SELECTION
    This event is called when . If the user executes the program either by pressing the execute button or F8 this is
    the first event triggered after all screen selection processing has been completed (AT Selection...). So pressing
    execute triggers both AT SELECTION and then START-OF-SELECTION

    If no other events are declared then there is no need to manually code this event as all processing statements
    will be automatically assigned to an implicit START-OF-SELECTION block. It is a good ideal to put it in though
    as it separates the code and makes it easier to read. Generally you would put all you data selection ABAP code
    within this event.

    END-OF-SELECTION
    If your report is linked to a logical database this event is called after the logical database has completely
    finished its work. Otherwise this event is trigged after the START-OF-SELECTION event so you would
    generally use it to processes the data retrieved in that event.
