Privacy Information In SAP environment the solution is creating to create number range object and use number range
object in ABAP codes for ABAP developers
Actually, database providers like Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle have more advanced solutions for
such requirements that does not require maintanence and so much steps in number range creation
process.

Let's start our task in this SAP tutorial, number range creation using SNRO SAP Transaction code.

SAP professionals and ABAP developers have seen how to create Number Range Object till this point
in this SAP tutorial.
Now ABAP developers are readyto go further and learn how to use number range objects in ABAP
code.
Key ABAP function for implementing and using a number range in ABAP codes is
NUMBER_GET_NEXT ABAP function.
In order to use a number range for auto increment column numbers safely in SAP,
NUMBER_GET_NEXT ABAP function is used with NUMBER_RANGE_ENQUEUE and
NUMBER_RANGE_DEQUEUE.

ABAP developers can copy and paste the following ABAP report source code and execute the ABAP
program in their development and test environments.
The sample ABAP report reads the next number in an SAP Number Range Object and displays the
auto number value on the screen.
The ABAP NUMBER_RANGE_ENQUEUE function sets a lock on the number range object.
If the lock is successfully set on the SAP number range, using NUMBER_GET_NEXT function call

SAP Tutorial for ABAP Developers - Create Number Range Object using SAP Transa... Page 5 of 7

the next number in the number range interval is read and passed into an ABAP variable.
The last step is calling NUMBER_RANGE_DEQUEUE function and removing the loc on the relate
SAP number range object.

implementation useful.
