Deloitte Interview questions:

After Observing many interviews. Finally, i come up with the following questions
which are mostly asked in all the Big companies including SAP Labs, Accenture, IBM,
Deloitte, TCS, Infosys etc…

1. Can we write the code both call transaction and session method in single
program?

A. Yes it is possible to write call transaction and session in one program.

2. Which BDC you prefer?

A. If we want to transfer large amount of data and when we need to use more than
one transaction code we prefer session method. For small or less amount of data and
for single transaction use call transaction.

3. When u prefer LSMW?

A. When we need to update medium amount of data we use LSMW. LSMW is also
used when the person like functional consultant has less programming language.

5. Difference between. include and .append?

1)The include statement is used to add structure to the custom table and append
statement is used to add structure to the standard table.

2) The same structure can be included in more than one custom table. The same
append structure cannot be appended in more than one standard table

6. Performance techniques

A.

1. The sequence of fields must be same as per database table

2. During writing select query write all fields in sequence as per database table.

3. Never write select statements inside loop….endloop.

4. Use st05 SQL trace, se30 run time analysis, code inspector, slin,etc.

5. Use select single * statement instead of select *

6. Always use primary key

7. Use binary search but before using binary search sort that table.

7. How to debug sapscripts ?

Answer: Two ways to debug sapscript . first way is goto SE 71 and from menu bar
select Utilities->activate debugger .then goto SE38 execute the print program ,it
automatically goes to debugging mode …..the other way is , run the program
RSTXDBUG in se 38 . execute it . a message will show that debugger is activated .now
open the print program in se 38 …u vll notice that the print prgm is automatically
diverted to debugging mode.

8. What is partner selection?

Answer: This concept is mainly used in IDOC where u select the partner profile using
Tcode SM59 .with this Tcode u create RFC(remote function call) to create
communication link to a remote system.

10. What is occurs in internal table?

Answer: occur statement allocates 8kb of memory to the internal table …but
generally we dont use it because of performance issue …if we don’t use occur then
the internal table will act as a structure .

11. What is page window?

Answer: page window is nothing but a container of a page ,which uniquely identifies
a set of data …for example while creating invoice …we create logo window , billing
document header window , customer window , terms and condition window etc …

12. What is the difference between scrolling a table horizontally and vertically..??
Answer: In table control when you scroll a table vertically presentation server needs
to call application server to fetch the next record and display in the table while in
case of horizontal scroll there is no need to call application server.

13. What are Field Groups?

Answer: A group that combines several fields fewer than one name, at runtime, the
INSERT command is used to define which data fields are assigned to which field
group are called Field Groups. It should always be a HEADER field group that defines
how the extracted data will be sorted; the fields grouped under the HEADER field
group sort the data.

14. List the events in ABAP/4 Language?

Answer: The events in ABAP/4 are load of program ,Initialization, Selection Screen,
Start of Selection, End of Selection, Top of page, Line selection, User command, End,
First.

15. Explain about the tables exists in a data dictionary and what are they?

Answer: There are four tables that exists in a data dictionary, they are

16. Buffering concept usage?

Answer: There are three type of buffer

1 single record

2 generic buffer

3 full buffer

Buffering is use for improve performance. it improves performance 10 to 100 times

more

17. Select up to 1 row and select single difference ?

Select single fetches first matching record. If more than one matching records are
there then only the first matching record will be considered other records will not
be taken into account. whereas select up to 1 rows will fetch all the matching
records

18. What are the different buffering methods?

There are two different buffering methods

The system ensures that data transfer between the R/3 System and the database
system is as efficient as possible. To do this, it uses the following techniques:

Table buffering: The program accesses data from the buffer of the application server.

Database request buffering: Individual database entries are not read or passed to the
database until required by an OPEN SQL statement.

19. Different types of locks?

 Read lock (shared lock)

Protects read access to an object. The read lock allows other transactions read
access but not write access to the locked area of the table.

 o Write lock (exclusive lock)

Protects write access to an object. The write lock allows other transactions neither
read nor write access to the locked area of the table.

 o Enhanced write lock (exclusive lock without cumulation)

Works like a write lock except that the enhanced write lock also protects from
further accesses from the same transaction.

20. CHAIN END CHAIN?

Chain and end chain are used for multiple field validation in Module pool
programming .It is written inside the screen flow logic.
21.How to Debug RFC Function module?

SE38 –> Utilities –> Settings –> ABAP Editor –> Debugging

Activate the external debugging and choose the New Debugger option in ABAP
debugger.

Go to the particular place in the code and put break point, pop will appear then
choose the HTTP break point.

If you are triggering the RFC from SAP portal make sure that both the user ID should
be same

If the users are different then provide the XI/Portal User ID in the users field.

22.Why sapscripts are client dependent and smartforms are client independent.

Ans-: Smartforms create its own function module so it doesn’t need to transport the
request through SCC1.As all the Development Object are stored in client
independent tables. Whereas Script doesn’t 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.

23. Difference between user exit and BADIs?

user exit is for single implementation and it is procedural approach while BADIs are
for multiple implementation and object oriented approach.

Multiple implementation means Reusability… because we use OOps Concepts for

BADI.

24. Control break events in ABAP:-

1. AT-FIRST: This is used when we want to execute the statements before records
are processed.
2. AT-LAST: This event is used when we want to execute the statements after all
records are processed.

3. AT-NEW: This event is used when we want to execute the statement before group
of records are processed.

4. AT-END: This event is used when we want to execute the statements after
processing of group of records.

25.I am uploading 100 records out of which say 59th record has error so what will
happen if i am using synchronous or asynchronous method of BDC? Can we update
the database using local update mode how?

Answer: It’s your Homework 🙂 !

26. Suppose i am writing following code then what will be output?

LOAD-OF-PROGRAM.

WRITE:/”HELLO”

Answer: It’s your Homework 🙂 !

27. What is TMG?

Ans. TMG stands for Table Maintenance generator. It is a tool available in abap by
which we can add or delete multiple records at a time and it is executed or triggered
by the transaction code SM30.

28. Difference between select option and ranges ?

Ans. The main difference between select option and ranges is that ranges implicitly
or automatically creates internal table with fields like OPTION,LOW,HIGH,SIGN,etc .
Where as in case of select option we have to explicitly create internal table.

When u declares a select options it will implicitly declare an internal table (ranges)
for you.
While using RANGES syntax u can declare internal table explicitly.

The only need of declaring ranges is when you r not taking input from the user but
you want make limit based selection at that time it will be use full e.g. SELECT **
from ** where MATNR in val_range.

here u can use select-option or ranges: val_range.

29. is it possible to bring select option in module pool screens?

Ans. Create a SELECT-OPTIONS in module pool screen using two methods as shown.

Method 1:—-

a) Create a subscreen area in your screen layout where you want to create the select
options.

b) In the top include of your module pool program declare a selection screen as a
subscreen e.g.

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF SCREEN 100 AS SUBSCREEN. select-options s_matnr

for mara-matnr. SELECTION-SCREEN END OF SCREEN.

c) In the PBO and PAI of the main screen where the select options needs to be
created do a call subscreen of the above screen (100).

CALL SUBCREEN sub_area INCLUDING <program> <screen>

This CALL SUBSCREEN statement is necessary for transport of values between

screen and program.

Note: All validations of the selection screen fields e.g. the s_matnr field created above
should be done in selection screen events like AT SELECTION-SCREEN etc and not in
PAI. These selection screen validations etc should be done in the top include only.

Method 2:———-
a) Create 2 separate fields in your screen layout – one for the low value and one for
the high value. Insert an icon beside the high value which will call the multiple
selections popup screen on user command. Use function module
COMPLEX_SELECTIONS_DIALOG to achieve this.

continued ……

struc_tab_and_field-fieldname = con_cust. ” ‘KUNNR’

struc_tab_and_field-tablename = con_kna1. ” ‘KNA1’.CALL

FUNCTION ‘COMPLEX_SELECTIONS_DIALOG’ EXPORTING*

TITLE = ‘ ‘

text = g_titl1 ” ‘Customers’

tab_and_field = struc_tab_and_field

TABLES RANGE = rng_kunnr

EXCEPTIONS

NO_RANGE_TAB = 1

CANCELLED = 2

INTERNAL_ERROR = 3

INVALID_FIELDNAME = 4

OTHERS = 5.

IF NOT rng_kunnr[] IS INITIAL.

* Read the very first entry of the range table and pass it to

* dynpro screen field

*READ TABLE rng_kunnr INDEX 1.

 IF sy-subrc = 0.

g_cust = rng_kunnr-low.

ENDIF.

ENDIF.

You can use the return table rng_kunnr to populate your own internal range table
with the values entered by the user. Basically here you are just simulating the work
of a select-options parameter by module pool screen elements.

30.how we can retrive data using secondary index.explain with simple example

First create secondary indexes on required fields of a particular database table.

We can create one primary index and 15 secondary indexes.Once the respective
secondary indexes are created write select queries and within select queries specify
secondary indexes field name with where clause.

31.How can we handle table control in BDC?

Ans.We can handle table control using line index

Line index indicates which line of Table control is to be use for BDC transaction

Ex –

perform bdc_field using ‘RC29K-AUSKZ(01)’

Indicates 1st line of table control is going to be used for transaction which is Line
index of Table Control

32. If i want to execute a BDC program only in background not in foreground is there
any option for this?

Ans.The sm37 transaction can be used for running a program in the background.
Also in the session method while processing the session you can specify the
processing type as background or foreground.
33.How Can We upload a text file having Delimiters in to Legacy System

Ans.For up loading text file we use the pre-defined FM gui_upload. in that FM we

have the parameter has_field_seperator for that we assign the default delimiter ‘x’.

HAS_FIELD_SEPERATOR ‘X’

‘X’ can provide the Whatever delimiter we used in flat file for separation.

34. What is the land scape in sap.

Ans. In every organisation sap landscape involves three servers viz, Development
server, Quality server and Production server. Whatever new development we do as
per clients requirement is done in development server. Later to test the developed
object we move it to quality server for testing and finally once everything goes clear
then the object is moved to production server ,production server data is ready for
final business use.

35. Workbench request are client dependent or client independent

Ans. Workbench request are client independent

36. tell me about workbench request and customization requests.

Ans.Workbench (ABAP Dev) request is client independent when you import it into
one system it reflect it in all client in same system, but customized request has to
import in all client, actually it is client dependent.
