Why sapscripts are client dependent and smart forms are client independent.?
Smart forms create its own function module so it doesnt need to transport the
request through SCC1.As all the Development Object are stored in client
independent tables. Whereas Script doesnt generate any function module while
executing so we need to transport the request number through SCC1.Sap script is
stroed in side the client depended table as a TEXT. So sapscripts are client
dependent and smartforms are client independent.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHECK TABLE AND VALUE TABLE?

Data
Dictionary

CHECK TABLE:
A foreign key links two tables T1 and T2 by assigning fields of table T1 to the
primary key fields of table T2.
Table T2 is then known as the check table of the foreign key.
VALUE TABLE:
Sometimes when you define a domain, you already know that all fields that use the
domain will need to be checked against a particular table. You can store this
information in the domain definition by specifying a value table.
If you try to define a foreign key for a field that points to this domain, the value table
of the domain is proposed as the check table for the foreign key.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CLUSTER TABLES AND POOLED TABLES?

Data
Dictionary

Cluster tables:
Table type in the ABAP Dictionary.
The data of several cluster tables is stored together in a single table cluster in the
database. A cluster table is thus known only in the ABAP Dictionary, not in the
database.
Pooled tables:
Table type in the ABAP Dictionary.
The data of several pooled tables are stored together as a table pool in the
database. Therefore, a pooled table is known in the ABAP Dictionary, but not in the
database.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ABAP MEMORY AND SAP MEMORY?

Core ABAP

ABAP MEMORY:
Area of memory assigned to a particular transaction and any modules called from
there.
ABAP memory does not depend on the ABAP program that generates it during a
transaction. This means that any object stored there can be read by any ABAP
program during the same transaction.
In contrast to ABAP memory, which exists only for the life of one transaction, there is
also global SAP memory, which extends beyond transaction limits.
SAP MEMORY:
Global, user-related memory that extends beyond transaction limits.
Access to the SAP memory is via SPA/GPA parameters.
WHAT IS AN INTERNAL TABLE? EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENT TYPES?
INTERNAL TABLE:
Data structure that exists only at program run time.
Internal tables are one of two structured data types in ABAP. They can contain any
number of identically structured rows, with or without a header line.
The header line is similar to a structure and serves as the work area of the internal
table. The data type of individual rows can be either elementary or structured.
Internal tables provide a means of taking data from a fixed structure and storing it in
working memory in ABAP.
The data is stored line by line in memory, and each line has the same structure. In
ABAP, internal tables fulfill the function of arrays. Since they are dynamic data
objects, they save the programmer the task of dynamic memory management in his
or her programs.
You should use internal tables whenever you want to process a data set with a fixed
structure within a program. A particularly important use for internal tables is for
storing and formatting data from a database table within a program. They are also a
good way of including very complicated data structures in an ABAP program.
Like all elements in the ABAP type concept, internal tables can exist both as data
types and as data objects.

Core ABAP

A data type is the abstract description of an internal table, either in a program or

centrally in the ABAP Dictionary, that you use to create a concrete data object. The
data type is also an attribute of an existing data object.
TYPES OF INTERNAL TABLES:
HASHED TABLE:
This is the most appropriate type for any table where the main operation is key
access. You cannot access a hashed table using its index.
The response time for key access remains constant, regardless of the number of
table entries. Like database tables, hashed tables always have a unique key. Hashed
tables are useful if you want to construct and use an internal table which resembles
a database table or for processing large amounts of data.
Hashed tables have no linear index.
You can only access a hashed table using its key. The response time is independent
of the number of table entries, and is constant, since the system access the table
entries using a hash algorithm. The key of a hashed table must be unique. When you
define the table, you must specify the key as UNIQUE.
INDEX TABLE:
The operations listed below are only permitted for index tables (sorted and standard
tables). Some of them are restricted to standard tables.
Since it is quicker to access a table by index than by key, you should always use
specific index operations when you know that a particular internal table is an index
table.
In particular, the quickest way to fill a table line by line is to append lines to a
standard table, since a standard table cannot have a unique key and therefore
appends the lines without having to check the existing lines in the table.
If you can either accommodate duplicate entries in a table, or exclude them in a
different way, it can be quicker to fill a standard table and then sort it or assign it to
a sorted table if the data does not have to be inserted into the table in the correct
sort sequence.
Furthermore, the performance of operations that change the internal linear index
has been improved in Release 4.5A. Previously, index manipulation costs for
inserting and deleting liens in standard tables and sorted tables increased in linear
relation to the number of lines.
From Release 4.5A, the index manipulation costs only increase logarithmically with
the number of lines, since the table indexes are now maintained as a tree structure.
This makes insertion and deletion operations efficient, even in very large standard
and sorted tables.
SORTED TABLES
This is the most appropriate type if you need a table which is sorted as you fill it. You
fill sorted tables using the INSERT statement.
Entries are inserted according to the sort sequence defined through the table key.
Any illegal entries are recognized as soon as you try to add them to the table.
The response time for key access is logarithmically proportional to the number of
table entries, since the system always uses a binary search. Sorted tables are
particularly useful for partially sequential processing in a LOOP if you specify the
beginning of the table key in the WHERE condition.
What is the difference between AT SELECTION-SCREEN and AT SELECTION-SCREEN
OUTPUT?
AT SELECTION-SCREEN is the PAI of the selection screen whereas AT SELECTIONSCREEN OUTPUT is the PBO of the selection screen.

Core ABAP

What is the difference between SY-INDEX and SY-TABIX?

So when you are looping over an internal table, you use SY-TABIX.
When you use DO ENDDO / WHILE for looping, there is no table involved. So you
use SY-INDEX.
For READ statement, SY-INDEX is used.

Core ABAP

What is the difference between VIEW and a TABLE in SAP?

A table physically stores data.

Data
Dictionary

A view does not store any data on its own. It can contain data from multiple tables
and it just accesses/reads data from those tables.
What is the difference between PASS BY VALUE and PASS BY REFERENCE?
These concepts are generally used for Function modules or Subroutines etc. and
their meaning can be taken literally.
Say we are passing a variable lv_var:

Core ABAP

CALL FUNCTION 'DEMO_FM'

EXPORTING
VAR = lv_var.
When we PASS lv_var by VALUE , the actual value of lv_var is copied into VAR.
When we PASS lv_var by REFERENCE , the reference or the memory address of
lv_var is passed to the Function module. So VAR and lv_var will refer to the same
memory address and have the same value.
What is the difference between Master data and Transaction data in SAP?
Master data is data that doesnt change often and is always needed in the same way
by business.
Ex: One time activities like creating Company Codes, Materials, Vendors, Customers
etc. Transaction data keeps on changing and deals with day to day activities carried
out in business.
Transactions done by or with Customers, Vendors, and Materials etc. generate
Transaction Data. So data related to Sales, Purchases, Deliveries, Invoices etc.
represent transaction data.
Some important transactions here for Master Data: Material: MM01 MM02 MM03.
Vendor: XK01 , XK02 , XK03
Customer: Xd01 , XD02 , XD03.
Some Important transactions for Transaction data: Purchase Order: ME21n ,
ME22n , ME23n.
Sales Order: VA01 , VA02 , VA03.
Goods Receipt: MIGO.
Invoices: MIRO.

Data
Dictionary

What will you use SELECT SINGLE or SELECT UPTO 1 ROWS?

It is very important for us to understand the difference between SELECT SINGLE and
SELECT UP TO 1 ROWS... We use select single when we need to get one record form
data base table with where condition, we should pass key field in where condition.
Example:
SELECT SINGLE * FROM MARA
INTO WA_MARA WHERE MATNR = '00001'. "here matnr is key field
We use SELECT UP TO 1 ROWS to get a single record from data base table where
there is no key field at our side.
Example:
SELECT * FROM MARA INTO WA_MARA
UP TO 1 ROWS
WHERE MTART = 'FERT'. "here mtart is not a key field
In simple SELECT SINGLE is used to get exact record from data base where as
SELECT UP TO 1 ROWS is use to get approximate record from data base.

After running a BDC program in background, next day morning when you see the
results, few records are not updated(error records). What will you do then?
We will look into incorrect session, analyze the error scree, reprocess the session
after correcting the data.

Real Time

You are given functional specs for a BDC program and you need to decide whether
to write a method call transaction or a session. How u will decide?
Based on the amount of data( number of records to update), I will decide what
method to use.
Ex: If data is less the 5000, I will use call transaction.
If data is more than 5000 records I prefer session method.

What is Modularization and its benefits?

If the program contains the same or similar blocks of statements or it is required to
process the same function several times, we can avoid redundancy by using
modularization techniques. By modularizing the ABAP/4 programs we make them
easy to read and improve their structure. Modularized programs are also easier to
maintain and to update.

module belongs to a function group.
What are logical databases? What are the advantages/disadvantages of logical
databases?
A Logical Database is a hierarchical structure of tables. Use the GET statement to
process Logical Databases.
- LDB consists of logically related tables grouped together used for reading and
processing data.
- Advantages = 1. No need of programming for retrieval , meaning for data
selection.
- 2. Easy to use standard user interface, have check completeness of user input.
Disadvantages = 1. Fast in case of lesser no. of tables But if the table is in the
lowest level of hierarchy, all upper level tables should be read so performance is
slower.
