17 Apr: New Features in ABAP 7.4 – Database Access

As time has gone by, more and more commands and constructs have been added to the ABAP language.

While many changes came as a result of the introduction of SAP NetWeaver 7.02, that is nothing compared to the deluge of change that came with version 7.4.

15 Dec: Using The SALV OO Class – Adding Functions to the ALV ToolBar

Lack of standard, baseline list processing functions means that developers devise their own methods for common list handling activities such as headings, sorting, filtering, rendering subtotals, and the like. By adding the standard Functions of the ALV Tool Bar you are using the SALV OO Classes to standardize your reports, and saving development time for delivering results!

15 Nov: Using The SALV OO Class for Quick and easy Table displays

Lack of standard, baseline list processing functions means that developers devise their own methods for common list handling activities such as headings, sorting, filtering, rendering subtotals, and the like. The result is that end users who work with more than one application may have to deal with different ways to access these simple list functions based on the developer who coded the solution. Using the SALV OO Class can help standardize your reports, screens, and shave development time for delivering results!

13 Sep: Layer-Aware Debugging (SLAD) in SAP Demystified

How many of us have had this happen during debugging? You need to analyze a bug, or you want to find out how an application works. And you don’t know where exactly to set a breakpoint. So you start the ABAP Debugger and start stepping through the code. And you keep on stepping through the code, endlessly, without reaching any of the application logic in which you are interested! Well there is a solution and its Software Layer-Aware Debugging (SLAD), sometimes referred to as Profile Controlled Debugging.

But what if the objects calling reference is not in the system that has the RFC? You could log on to every SAP system and do a Where-Used, or we can learn from Henry and use his tool. Part 2 of this series does a deep dive into the ALV design and programming, and delivers the user the entire code base.
