What day were you born?

Simple JavaScript function that calculates your birthday day of week:

function getBirthday(myDay)
{
var daysOfWeek = ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"]; //array with the days of week
alert("I was born in a: " + daysOfWeek[myDay.getDay()]); //getDay returns the days of week (0-6 day of week. 0 == sunday)
}

var myDay = new Date(1969,10,25);
getBirthday(myDay);

Result:

ArnoldC

ArnoldC is an imperative programming language where the basic keywords are replaced with quotes from different Schwarzenegger movies.

• Every ArnoldC program must have a main method as following:

IT'S SHOWTIME
[statements]
YOU HAVE BEEN TERMINATED

• The syntax to print a string, is:

TALK TO THE HAND "happy families are all alike"

• Keyword for RETURN:

I'LL BE BACK

• An Hello World, looks like this:

IT'S SHOWTIME
TALK TO THE HAND "hello world"
YOU HAVE BEEN TERMINATED

Smartforms: Printing Several Forms in One Print Request

If you need to print several forms with the same print job request, first you need to retrieve the name of the function module generated from the Smart Form, by using the SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME.

Then, call the function fm_name setting the components of the CONTROL_PARAMETERS structure using the following rule:

1st call:
NO_OPEN = SPACE.
NO_CLOSE = ‘X’.
nth call:
NO_OPEN = ‘X’.
NO_CLOSE = ‘X’.
last call:
NO_OPEN = ‘X’.
NO_CLOSE = SPACE .

• Example:

data: control_parameters type ssfctrlop .

*You must set the following parameters before the 1st call:
control_parameters-no_open = space .
control_parameters-no_close = 'X'.

call function 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME' (...)
call function fm_name (...)

*Supposing this is the last call, you must set parameters like this:
control_parameters-no_open = 'X' .
control_parameters-no_close = space .

call function 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME' (...)
call function fm_name (...)

If you follow this procedure, all smartforms will be associated to the same spool request.
You can check it on SP01 transaction.

How to create and call a subroutine from a sapscript…

Imagine that you need to get more information to be used in a sapscript form and it’s not possible to change the print program.

There is a way to do it by using subroutines of another program.

To do it, you need to modify your sapscript window and add some code as command line:

/:	 	PERFORM test_subroutine IN PROGRAM Z_SAP_SCRIPT_PERFORMS
/:	 	USING &EKKO-EBELN&
/:	 	CHANGING &TEST1&
/:	 	CHANGING &TEST2&
/:	 	ENDPERFORM

And create a program with the same name you’ve indicated before (e.g.: Z_SAP_SCRIPT_PERFORMS) to include your subroutines logic. For instance:

* the IN and OUT parameters go inside in_tab structure itcsy and out_tab structure itcsy:
form test_subroutine tables in_tab structure itcsy
                            out_tab structure itcsy.
                         
* Normal data declaration
  data: l_in1 type string,
        l_out1 type string.
        l_out2 type string.

* Reading parameters from sapscript form:
  read table in_tab index 1.
  move in_tab-value to l_in1 .

* SELECT SOME DATA into l_out1 e l_out2

* Exporting/Returning the selected data to the sapscript form (TEST1 and TEST2 variables, respectively):
  read table out_tab index 1.
  out_tab-value = l_out1.

  modify out_tab index 1.

  read table out_tab index 2.
  out_tab-value = l_out2.

  modify out_tab index 2.

endform.

That’s it!

Booleans in ABAP

Unlike other languages (for e.g. Java) in ABAP programming there isn’t a boolean type.

…But you can simulate it by using the ABAP Language Type-Pool.

DATA is_ok TYPE abap_bool. 
... 
is_ok = abap_true. 
... 
IF is_ok = abap_true. 
   ... 
ENDIF.

This is the same as:

DATA is_ok TYPE c LENGTH 1. 
... 
is_ok = 'X'. 
... 
IF is_ok IS NOT INITIAL. 
   ... 
ENDIF.

Go to the ABAP Dictionary  transaction (SE11) and search for “abap” Type-Pool.
There you can confirm that the abap_bool type is defined as:

• types: abap_bool type c length 1.

You can confirm the abap_true constant, as well:

• constants: abap_true type abap_bool value ‘X’ (…)
