Do you wish to send an anonymous message to a user, that is currently log on in your system?

You can use function module TH_POPUP. Just enter the system client, the target user and your message, and execute it, for example, in SE37 t-code.

Your target user will receive a pop-up window in his computer, with your message.

Just try it

Have you ever need to get the next/previous working day, of a calendar date, of a factory calendar?

We suggest function module DATE_CONVERT_TO_FACTORYDATE.

You can indicate with ‘+’ or ‘-’ on importing parameter CORRECT_OPTION if you want the next working day, or the previous one. The other importing parameters are the calendar date you want to use, and the factory calendar.

The result will be in exporting parameter DATE.

Sometimes,  we need to validate some inputs from users that are inserted by external sources (like files).

For this purpose, we found very useful function modules like CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL and CONVERT_TIME_INPUT to validate external dates formats and external times formats (ex: dates like ’24.06.1978′ or times like ’11:00:00′)

This functions are also very useful to convert the external information to internal information.

If you need more conversions of this kind, take a look at utility class CL_ABAP_DATFM.

Check if is helpful for you too, or if you have any other suggestions feel free to share with us!

In pricing there are requirements, and inside this requirements there are 2 forms, KOBED and KOBEV.

What’s the difference between them?

KOBED – This is called at header and item level

KOBEV – Used for header level

Use KOBEV if you only need header changes. If you use KOBED and only need header data your performance may not be the best!

Have you ever need that your program don’t show the execute button, or background execution option, or even the variant selection option?

You can do it but declaring this info:

This is a problem that happens a lot of times, how to know what a job is doing by debug?

1. Transaction SM37;
2. Select the Job;
3. In the OK-CODE field write JDBG;

If you have any other solution for this problem feel free to comment and help other readers

If you need to edit one table directly without using one SM30 view do these steps:

Go to SE16N;
Insert table name, press enter;
In transaction box on top write “&SAP_EDIT” and press enter;
Press F8 and insert line and delete line button will be available.

Please be very carefull when doing this, it may damage the entire system and create inconsistencies in the database causing, only use if you know what you are doing.
