ABAP Interview Questions

1. How data is stored in cluster table?

Each field of cluster table behaves as tables, which contains the
no. of entries.
2. What are client dependant objects in abap/sap?
SAP Script layout, text element, and some DDIC objects.
3. On which event we can validate the input fields in module
programs?
In PAI (Write field statement on field you want to validate, if you
want to validate group of fields put in chain and End chain
statement.)
4. In selection screen I have three fields, plant mat no and
material group. If I input plant how do I get the mat no and
material group based on plant dynamically?
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR MATERIAL.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST' to get material and
material group for the plant.
5. How do you get output from IDOC?
Data in IDOc is stored in segments, the output from Idoc is
obtained by reading the data stored in its respective segments.
6. When top of the page event is triggered?
After executing first write statement in start-of-selection event.
7. Can we create field without data element and how?
In SE11 one option is available above the fields strip. Data
element/ direct type.
8. How do we debug sapscript?
Go to SE71 give lay set name , go to utilities select debugger mode
on.
9. Which transaction code can I used to analyze the performance of
ABAP program.
TCode AL21.
10. How can I copy a standard table to make my own z_table.
Go to transaction SE11. Then there is one option to copy table.
Press that button. Enter the name of the standard table and in the
Target table enter Z table name and press enter.

1. What is the use of 'outerjoin'

Ans. With the use of outer join you can join the tables even there
is no entry in all the tables used in the view.
In case of inner join there should be an entry in al the tables use
in the view.
2. When to use logical database?
Ans. Advantage of Logical databases:
less coding s required to retrieve data compared to normal internal
tables.
Tables used LDB are in hierarchical structure.
3. What is the use of 'table index'?
Ans .Index is used for faster access of data base tables.
4. What is the use of 'FOR ALL ENTRIES'?
Ans. To avoid nested select statements we use SELECT FOR ALL
ENTRIES statement.
If there r more than 10000 records SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES is used.
Performance wise SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES is better to use.
5. Can you set up background processing using CALL TRANSACTION?
Yes,Using No Screen Mode.
6. What are table buffers?
Table buffers reside locally on each application server in the
system. The data of buffered tables can thus be accessed
directly from the buffer of the application server. This avoids the
time-consuming process of accessing the database.
Buffering is useful if table needs to be accessed more no. of times
in a program.

Deepti
1. There are other ways of entering data into a DB table. ex. B D C

2. Collect statement collect/adds the records basing on a key

field. allows to create summarized data sets.
Append will append/add a record at the end of existing records
8. to release an object - use se10/se9
9. sales doc flow: S. A. - S. O. - Delivery - Billing
12. Delivery - invoice.
15. field symbols are used for dynamic allocation. at runtime u can
assign a concrete field to field-symbol.
Kishore
1. you can go to abap editor (se38) and use insert statement for
insertion update for update and modify for modifications.
2. collect will not allow duplicate entries, while append can allow
duplicates.
3. if any changes are made to objects they are to be transported to
different systems i.e., change and transport.
4. in user exits we go by general method for enhancements while
BADIs we use objects (oops concepts)
methods for enhancement.
14. table controls are enhanced version for step loops where we can
expand rows .main difference between these two
is step loop can be expanded to two lines table controls can’t.
15. field symbols are just like pointers concept which are used in
C language. We use them when we want to refer to
the fields considered, it doesn’t allocate any memory for it.
Venu Rapolu
1. Ans: Using BDC., LSMW,,ALE., BAPI
2. Ans: Collect: it adds the numeric fields to the existing non
numeric key field records., thereby avoiding duplicate
values., and append will simply adds the record
3 . Ans: The CTS contains work bench organizer and transport system
:
The workbench organizer is used to record and control changes to
the ABAP/4 development objects;
The transport system is used to move objects from an SAP dev.system
to production system
6. Ans: Outbound interface is used to send IDocs to the ALE
server.,
Inbound interface is used to Analyse the received Idoc.
7. Ans: We (ABAPers) don't do.
8. Ans: se09 or se10
13. Ans: MATMAS
CREMAS
DEBMAS
GLMAST etc...
14. Ans: to display records in table format., we use in Screens
15. Ans: we assign the field content at run time with ASSIGN stmt.
Satish D
1. goto se16 u can view the table contents
2. collect will collects all the numeric fields of nonnumeric field
values
append will append record at the end of table
3. when we are creating new task like dev. a new prg.. after
completion of dev. that will be transported to testing system or
production system to do that we are assigning an
transport request from our dev.class(system) by using se09
4. badis are dev. by class and inheritance methods where as user
exitsdev by SAP only and empty shells filled wit user logic
5. go to system then status
6. outbound generating an idoc in ale layer with
master_idoc_create_messgetype,
inbound is receiving system with idoc_inbound_process, gives an
return variable whether it is success or not
7. no we have to configure that
8. go to se09 or se01 there write your task no and use release
button it will asks what’s the other system name
and number enter them and relase by pressing jeep button
9. inquiry
quotation
sales order
shipping
delivery
invoice
return goods
12. after creation of delivery note invoice is prepared
13. master_idoc_distribute will generate standard idoc

Deepti
I am enclosing some of answers which I know.

1. We can use t.Code SE16 to enter values into table only if table
maintenance is allowed for that table.
2. Append will add new entries into the table where as collect add
into the numeric type fields if other character fields
matches to your selection criteria.
3. CTS used for creation of ABAP development transport requests.
The transaction code for this is SE10.
4. User Exits r used for adding additional functionality to the
existing SAP standard transactions. Using User Exits we can add
additional functionality standard SAP functionality without making
any changes to the original code.BADI is a standardized interface
for ABAP sources that enables partners and customers to enhance
SAP-delivered programs in their namespace.
5 .We can identify User exits by using transactions CMOD and SMOD.
6. After entering transaction code SE10 select the transport
request which u want to transport and click on transport icon(Truck
symbol) to release it.
10. Purchase Requisition->RFQ->Vendor Evaluation->Purchase
Order(ME21).
14. Table control is the only facility provide thru dialog
programming when we come across the use of updating
standared,deletion,insertion and all database operations.
15. Field symbols r pointers to the existing data types(like 'C')
which does not allocate any memory space. These are used faster
access of data.

Answers to some ABAP Interview Questions:

Questions which I have faced in an interview:
1) What is runtime analysis? Have you used this?
2) What is meant by performance analysis? Have done anything to
improve the performance?
3) How to transfer the objects? Have to transferred any objects?
4) How did you test the developed objects?
5) What is the difference between SAP Memory and ABAP Memory?
6) In order to upload Purchase order details, how you handle
multiple values for a single field?
E.g.: Item field may contain no. of values for a record
7) What is the procedure you followed to upload the data?
8) How did you handle errors in Call Transaction?
9) Among the Call Transaction and Session Method, which is faster?
10) What are the difference between Interactive and Drill Down
Reports?
11) How to pass the variables to forms?
12) How to create a link between modified form and modified print
program?
13) What is the table, which contain the details of all the name of
the programs and forms?
14) How did you test the form u developed? How did you taken print?

15) What are Standard Texts?

16) What is the difference between Clustered Tables and Pooled
Tables?
17) What is pf-status?
18) Among "Move" and "Move Corresponding", which is efficient one?
19) What are the output type and Tcodes?
20) Where we use Chain and Endchain?
21) Do you use select statement in loop endloop, how will be the
performance? To improve the performance?
22) In select-options, how to get the default values as current
month first date and last date by default?
E.g.: 1/12/2004 and 31/12/2004

Go thru these answers:

1) What is runtime analysis? Have you used this?

It's checks program execution time in microseconds. When you go to
se30.if you give desired program name in performance file. It will
take you to below screen. You can get how much past is your
program.

2) What is meant by performance analysis? Have done

3) How to transfer the objects? Have you transferred any objects?
4) How did you test the developed objects?
I was testing a developed object. There are two types of testing
- Negative testing
- Positive testing
In negative testing we will give negative data in input and we
check any errors occurs.
In positive testing we will give positive data in input for
checking errors.

8) How did you handle errors in Call Transaction?

We can create a internal table like 'bdcmsgcoll'. All the messages
will go to internal table. We can get errors in this internal
table.
Below messages are go to internal table. when you run the call
transaction.
- Message type
- Message id
- Message Number
- Variable1
- Variable2
- Variable3

9) Among the Call Transaction and Session Method, which is faster?

Call transaction is faster then session method. But usually we use
session method in real time...because we can transfer large amount
of data from internal table to database and if any errors in a
session. Process will not complete until session get correct.

10) What are the difference between Interactive and Drill Down
Reports?
ABAP/4 provides some interactive events on lists such as AT LINE-
SELECTION (double click) or AT USER-COMMAND (pressing a button).
You can use these events to move through layers of information
about individual items in a list.
Drill down report is nothing but interactive report...drilldown
means above paragraph only.
11) How to pass the variables to forms?
12) What is the table, which contain the details of all the name of
the programs and forms?
Table contains vertical and horizontal lines. We can store the data
in table as blocks. We can scroll depends upon your wish. And these
all are stored in database (data dictionary).
Which contain the details of all the name of the programs and
forms? (I don't know).
13) How did you test the form u developed? How did you taken print?

14) What are Standard Texts?

16) What is the difference between Clustered Tables and Pooled
Tables?
A pooled table is used to combine several logical tables in the
ABAP/4 dictionary. Pooled tables are logical tables that must be
assigned to a table pool when they are defined.
Cluster table are logical tables that must be assigned to a table
cluster when they are defined.
Cluster table can be used to store control data they can also used
to store temporary data or text such as documentation.
17) What is pf-status?
Pf status is used in interactive report for enhancing the
functionality. If we go to se41, we can get menus, items and
different function keys, which we are using for secondary list in
interactive report.
18) Among "Move" and "Move Corresponding", which is efficient one?
I guess, 'move corresponding' is very efficient then 'move'
statement. Because usually we use this statement for internal table
fields only...so if we give move corresponding. Those fields only
moving to other place (what ever you want).
19) What are the output type and Tcodes?
20) Where we use Chain and End chain?
21) Do you use select statement in loop end loop, how will be the
performance? To improve the performance?
22) In select-options, how to get the default values as current
month first date and last date by default?
Eg: 1/12/2004 and 31/12/2004

SAP ABAP interview questions

Thanks to the reader who sent in this question set:
1. What is an ABAP data dictionary?- ABAP 4 data dictionary
describes the logical structures of the objects used in application
development and shows how they are mapped to the underlying
relational database in tables/views.
2. What are domains and data element?- Domains: Domain is the
central object for describing the technical characteristics of an
attribute of an business objects. It describes the value range of
the field. Data Element: It is used to describe the semantic
definition of the table fields like description the field. Data
element describes how a field can be displayed to end-user.
3. What is foreign key relationship?- A relationship which can be
defined between tables and must be explicitly defined at field
level. Foreign keys are used to ensure the consistency of data.
Data entered should be checked against existing data to ensure that
there are now contradiction. While defining foreign key
relationship cardinality has to be specified. Cardinality mentions
how many dependent records or how referenced records are possible.
4. Describe data classes.- Master data: It is the data which is
seldom changed. Transaction data: It is the data which is often
changed. Organization data: It is a customizing data which is
entered in the system when the system is configured and is then
rarely changed. System data: It is the data which R/3 system needs
for itself.
5. What are indexes?- Indexes are described as a copy of a database
table reduced to specific fields. This data exists in sorted form.
This sorting form ease fast access to the field of the tables. In
order that other fields are also read, a pointer to the associated
record of the actual table are included in the index. The indexes
are activated along with the table and are created automatically
with it in the database.
6. Difference between transparent tables and pooled tables.-
Transparent tables: Transparent tables in the dictionary has a one-
to-one relation with the table in database. Its structure
corresponds to single database field. Table in the database has the
same name as in the dictionary. Transparent table holds application
data. Pooled tables. Pooled tables in the dictionary has a many-to-
one relation with the table in database. Table in the database has
the different name as in the dictionary. Pooled table are stored in
table pool at the database level.
7. What is an ABAP/4 Query?- ABAP/4 Query is a powerful tool to
generate simple reports without any coding. ABAP/4 Query can
generate the following 3 simple reports: Basic List: It is the
simple reports. Statistics: Reports with statistical functions like
Average, Percentages. Ranked Lists: For analytical reports. - For
creating a ABAP/4 Query, programmer has to create user group and a
functional group. Functional group can be created using with or
without logical database table. Finally, assign user group to
functional group. Finally, create a query on the functional group
generated.
8. What is BDC programming?- Transferring of large/external/legacy
data into SAP system using Batch Input programming. Batch input is
a automatic procedure referred to as BDC(Batch Data
Communications).The central component of the transfer is a queue
file which receives the data vie a batch input programs and groups
associated data into “sessions”.
9. What are the functional modules used in sequence in BDC?- These
are the 3 functional modules which are used in a sequence to
perform a data transfer successfully using BDC programming:
BDC_OPEN_GROUP - Parameters like Name of the client, sessions and
user name are specified in this functional modules. BDC_INSERT - It
is used to insert the data for one transaction into a session.
BDC_CLOSE_GROUP - This is used to close the batch input session.
10. What are internal tables?- Internal tables are a standard data
type object which exists only during the runtime of the program.
They are used to perform table calculations on subsets of database
tables and for re-organizing the contents of database tables
according to users need.
11. What is ITS? What are the merits of ITS?- ITS is a Internet
Transaction Server. ITS forms an interface between HTTP server and
R/3 system, which converts screen provided data by the R/3 system
into HTML documents and vice-versa. Merits of ITS: A complete web
transaction can be developed and tested in R/3 system. All
transaction components, including those used by the ITS outside the
R/3 system at runtime, can be stored in the R/3 system. The
advantage of automatic language processing in the R/3 system can be
utilized to language-dependent HTML documents at runtime.
12. What is DynPro?- DynPro is a Dynamic Programming which is a
combination of screen and the associated flow logic Screen is also
called as DynPro.
13. What are screen painter and menu painter?- Screen painter:
Screen painter is a tool to design and maintain screen and its
elements. It allows user to create GUI screens for the
transactions. Attributes, layout, filed attributes and flow logic
are the elements of Screen painter. Menu painter: Menu painter is a
tool to design the interface components. Status, menu bars, menu
lists, F-key settings, functions and titles are the components of
Menu painters. Screen painter and menu painter both are the
graphical interface of an ABAP/4 applications.
14. What are the components of SAP scripts?- SAP scripts is a word
processing tool of SAP which has the following components: Standard
text. It is like a standard normal documents. Layout sets. - Layout
set consists of the following components: Windows and pages,
Paragraph formats, Character formats. Creating forms in the R/3
system. Every layout set consists of Header, paragraph, and
character string. ABAP/4 program.
15. What is ALV programming in ABAP? When is this grid used in
ABAP?- ALV is Application List viewer. Sap provides a set of ALV
(ABAP LIST VIEWER) function modules which can be put into use to
embellish the output of a report. This set of ALV functions is used
to enhance the readability and functionality of any report output.
Cases arise in sap when the output of a report contains columns
extending more than 255 characters in length. In such cases, this
set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange
the different columns from a report output and also save different
variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for
dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output.
The report output can contain up to 90 columns in the display with
the wide array of display options.
16. What are the events in ABAP/4 language?- Initialization, At
selection-screen, Start-of-selection, end-of-selection, top-of-
page, end-of-page, At line-selection, At user-command, At PF, Get,
At New, At LAST, AT END, AT FIRST.
17. What is CTS and what do you know about it?- The Change and
Transport System (CTS) is a tool that helps you to organize
development projects in the ABAP Workbench and in Customizing, and
then transport the changes between the SAP Systems and clients in
your system landscape. This documentation provides you with an
overview of how to manage changes with the CTS and essential
information on setting up your system and client landscape and
deciding on a transport strategy. Read and follow this
documentation when planning your development project.
18. What are logical databases? What are the advantages/ dis-
advantages of logical databases?- To read data from a database
tables we use logical database. A logical database provides read-
only access to a group of related tables to an ABAP/4 program.
Advantages: i)check functions which check that user input is
complete, correct, and plausible. ii)Meaningful data selection.
iii)central authorization checks for database accesses. iv)good
read access performance while retaining the hierarchical data view
determined by the application logic. dis advantages: i)If you don’t
specify a logical database in the program attributes, the GET
events never occur. ii)There is no ENDGET command, so the code
block associated with an event ends with the next event statement
(such as another GET or an END-OF-SELECTION).
19. What is a batch input session?- BATCH INPUT SESSION is an
intermediate step between internal table and database table. Data
along with the action is stored in session i.e. data for screen
fields, to which screen it is passed, program name behind it, and
how next screen is processed.
20. How to upload data using CATT ?- These are the steps to be
followed to Upload data through CATT: Creation of the CATT test
case & recording the sample data input. Download of the source file
template. Modification of the source file. Upload of the data from
the source file.
21. What is Smart Forms?- Smart Forms allows you to create forms
using a graphical design tool with robust functionality, color, and
more. Additionally, all new forms developed at SAP will be created
with the new Smart Form solution.
22. How can I make a differentiation between dependent and
independent data?- Client dependent or independent transfer
requirements include client specific or cross client objects in the
change requests. Workbench objects like SAPscripts are client
specific, some entries in customizing are client independent. If
you display the object list for one change request, and then for
each object the object attributes, you will find the flag client
specific. If one object in the task list has this flag on, then
that transport will be client dependent.
23. What is the difference between macro and subroutine? - Macros
can only be used in the program the are defined in and only after
the definition are expanded at compilation / generation.
Subroutines (FORM) can be called from both the program the are
defined in and other programs . A MACRO is more or less an
abbreviation for some lines of code that are used more than once or
twice. A FORM is a local subroutine (which can be called external).
A FUNCTION is (more or less) a subroutine that is called external.
Since debugging a MACRO is not really possible, prevent the use of
them (I’ve never used them, but seen them in action). If the
subroutine is used only local (called internal) use a FORM. If the
subroutine is called external (used by more than one program) use a
FUNCTION.
