Program 0ame$ 6APxx(?03 %where *xx. is the last two digits of your logon id)
The purpose of this exercise is for you to become familiar with control statements in ABAP.
Control break processing is common to all programming languages, including ABAP. 6ou are to
create a program that calculates the total seats occupied for each artist in the 6C@AC"T table.
The 6C@AC"T table contains information about music concerts. This table is not a standard
&AP table %notice that its name starts with a 86;). We created this table for the purpose of your
ABAP exercises. Jeep in mind that the concepts you learn using the 6C@AC"T table can be
applied to any ABAP 9ictionary table.
Before coding this program, you should examine the structure of the 6C@AC"T table. Also,
you should #iew the table contents. 6ou can display a table.s contents using the 9ata Browser
%transaction code 8&"5?;). 6ou can also display a table.s contents from the ABAP 9ictionary by
choosing the 81tilities - Table contents; menu path.
&ee the sample output to determine the contents and layout of the report. The following fields
will be used in the report$ 6C@AC"TGAT+&T, 6C@AC"TG"N"AT9AT", 6C@AC"TG
&"AT&2AT, 6C@AC"TG&"AT&@CC, and 6C@AC"TGB@CAT+@A.
The total seats occupied should be printed at each artist break. CA1T+@A$ ABAP may not
understand the difference between the first record selected and a normal control break. +f this
does not make sense now, it will when you begin testing your program. %hint$ the system field
&6G9BCAT indicates the records selected in a &"B"CT loop and it is incremented with each loop
pass).
Because you are grouping the data in the 6C@AC"T table by artist, you need to be sure that
the table is sorted on this field. Because you cannot assume that it is sorted in this manner, you
can specify the order in which to retrie#e records. Code your 8&"B"CT; statement as follows$
&"B"CT M F@2 6C@AC"T @9" B6 AT+&T.
We will co#er the 8@9" B6; addition %and others) in a later chapter.

The purpose of this exercise is for you to become familiar with using authority checks.
6ou are to create a program that checks the acti#ities allowed %e.g. create, change, display, and
delete) on #endor master records for the user executing the program. The acti#ity should be
entered as a parameter. This parameter should be a length 3 numeric character field.
&ome of the #alid acti#ities on the #endor master records are$
(5 G create
(3 G change
(7 G display
(? G mark for deletion
The appropriate authority ob:ect for this authoriSation check is 8F0BFA50APP;. This authority
ob:ect has two fields$
ACTNT %acti#ity)
APPJH %application)
6ou should suppress the check for the 8APPJH; field. The check for the 8ACTNT; field should be
on the acti#ity parameter.
To code the 8A1TC@+T6GCC"CJ @BW"CT; statement, use the menu path 8"dit - +nsert
statement; %or the *Pattern. pushbutton). 6ou need to enter the name of the authority ob:ect in
the 8AuthorityGCheck; field and the system will automatically code the appropriate 8A1TC@+T6G
CC"CJ @BW"CT; statement. By using this method, you cannot make a mistake typing in the
proper authority ob:ect name and field names.
The report generated by this program is simple. The line written to the report will indicate
whether the authority for the selected acti#ity was passed or failed. &ee the sample output for
the content and layout of the report in both scenarios.
Although the processing logic of this program is not complex, imagine this authority check being
used in a program that is maintaining #endor master records. Without the authority check, any
user executing the program may be able to change or delete records.

The purpose of this exercise is for you to become familiar with using nested 8&"B"CT;

to lower le#el tables).
6ou are to create a program that retrie#es #endor information from the BFA5 and BFB5 tables.
These tables contain #endor master records and are hierarchically related. Both of these tables
are clientGdependent %i.e. 2AA9T is one of the key fields). emember that with @pen &/B, you
do not ha#e to specify the client in the WC"" clause. By default, @pen &/B statements
operate on data for the current client.
BFA5 contains general #endor data %e.g. #endor name and address). The key field to this table,
besides the client, is the #endor number %B+FA).
BFB5 contains a #endor.s company code information. @ne #endor can be assigned to multiple

Program 0ame$ 6APxx5703 %where *xx. is the last two digits of your logon id)
The purpose of this exercise is for you to become familiar with using a logical database to
access information in hierarchicallyGrelated tables %i.e. key fields are passed down to lower le#el
tables).
6ou should copy the pre#ious program %6xx5<05) to create this new program %6xx5<03).
Change the program to use the logical database J9F, instead of the nested 8&"B"CT;
statements.
Before coding this program, you should examine the structure of logical database J9F. 6ou can
use the use the Bogical 9atabase function %menu path 89e#elopment - Programming en#iron. -
Bogical databases; or transaction code 8&"7?;) to #iew to components of a logical database.
6ou can also use the epository +nformation &ystem to #iew the structure of a logical database.
The report generated by this program should be identical to the pre#ious example. emember
that the top of the report should contain a 8N"A9@ +AF@2AT+@A; line and the end of the
report should contain the number of #endors processed %hint$ you cannot use the &6G9BCAT
system field in this case because your program does not contain the 8&"B"CT; statement for the
BFA5 table).
9o not forget to indicate the logical database J9F on the program attributes screen. Because
this program uses a logical database, you will be presented with a selection screen when
executing the program. To limit the total number of #endors displayed on the report, specify the
range of #endors from *N"A9(53. to *N"A95((. on the #endor account of the selection screen.
emember that an e#ent processing block is introduced by an e#ent key word. The e#ent
processing block ends when$ %5) the next e#ent key word is encountered, %3) a subroutine begins
%i.e. a 8F@2; statement is encountered), or %7) the end of the program is encountered. +f your
program includes more than one e#ent processing block, you should always explicitly code the

the selection screen. The 8PAA2"T"&; statement allows you to create a single field on the
