1. Question How to transfer legacy data into base tables by scheduling a time frame using bdc.
Answer
You can use Session method for this and define parameter KEEP ,HOLD,DATE for transfer.
Answer
You can use field symbols to make the program more dynamic. In this exanmple the name of a table control is substituted
by a field symbol. Thus you cal call the form with any internal table, using the name of the tablæe control as a parameter.
Example
form insert_row
using p_tc_name.
field-symbols
assign (p_tc_name) to
* insert 100 lines in table control
3. Question How can we tranport the z-table along with data to Produciton system.
Answer

Answer
we can pass data b/w sessions or b/w progs by using
Sap memory.SET PARAMETER OR GET PARAMETER are the statements that r used to read or write the data from memory.

13. Question How do you connect to the remote server if you are working from the office for the client in remote place.
Answer
WAS web application server or ITS are generally used for this purpose. If you are sitting at your office with a server which is in the system and the other server is at the clients place you can generate IDOC, intermidiate documents which carry the data you want to transfer or the documents you want to transfer, these IDOC are interpretted by the system at the recieving end with the message class with which it is bound with. If you want to logon a system which is very distant..then remote login can be used this depends on the internet speed.

21. Question # what is output : if i click on no: 3.
do 5 times.
hide sy-index.
write / sy-index.
enddo.
at selection-screen.
write / sy-index.
endat.
Answer
The output is 1 2 3 4 and 5.The hidestatement take data from work area to special area in memory,we can call this memory as a hide memory.For e.g when we click on 3,it can't generate any thing because if we hide 3 then we must define the code for hide under the EVENT AT LINE-SELECTION.Secondly we can't write anything in the EVENT AT SELECTION-SCREEN.
22. Question # What is the final entry in BDC Table ?
Answer
The final entry in bdc table is the value in the internal table .since bdcdata is the system-inbuilt bdc table the last field in the table is fvalthe value for fval is nothing but the value in the internal table.so, the final entry is the value of the internal table.
23. Question In evevts start-of-selection is default event. When we have to use this event explicitly? Why?
Answer
The default event in the ABAP is Start-of-selection.We have to call explicitely this event when you are writing other than ths event , that is when you write AT SELECTION-SCREEN EVENTS OR INITIALIZATION EVENT etc,you have to explicitely mention the Start-of-selection event while you are writing the logic.
Before these events called ,all the code you have written come into this default Start-of-selection screen event.

26. Question What are the different types of data dictionary objects?

27. Question What is the difference between collect and sum?
Answer
SUM.
When processing an internal table in a block starting with LOOP and concluded by ENDLOOP , SUM calculates the control totals of all fields of type I , F and P (see also ABAP/4 number types ) and places them in the LOOP output area (header line of the internal table or an explicitly specified work area).
When you use SUM in a LOOP with an explicitly specified output area, this output area must be compatible with the line type of the internal table.When using LOOP to process a sorted extract (see SORT ), the control total
of f at the end of the group appears in the field SUM(f) - - if f is type I , F or P .
COLLECT.
COLLECT is used to create unique or compressed datsets. The key fields are the default key fields of the internal table itab .
If you use only COLLECT to fill an internal table, COLLECT makes sure that the internal table does not contain two entries with the same default key fields.
If, besides its default key fields, the internal table contains number fields,the contents of these number fields are added together if the internal table already contains an entry with the same key fields.
If the default key of an internal table processed with COLLECT is blank, all the values are added up in the first table line.
If you specify wa INTO , the entry to be processed is taken from the explicitly specified work area wa . If not, it comes from the header line of the internal table itab .
After COLLECT , the system field SY-TABIX contains the index of the - existing or new - table entry with default key fields which match those of the entry to be processed.
COLLECT can create unique or compressed datasets and should be used precisely for this purpose. If uniqueness or compression are unimportant, or two values with identical default key field values could not possibly occur in your particular task, you should use APPEND instead. However, for a unique or compressed dataset which is also efficient, COLLECT is the statement to use.
If you process a table with COLLECT , you should also use COLLECT to fill it. Only by doing this can you guarantee that the internal table will actually be unique or compressed, as described above and COLLECT will run very efficiently.
If you use COLLECT with an explicitly specified work area, it must be compatible with the line type of the internal table.

29. Question # Which one is not an exit comand ? (Exit, cencle, stop, back)
Answer
STOP.
Effect :The statement STOP is only to be used in executable programs
EXIT.
Effect :If the EXIT statement is executed outside of a loop, it will immediately terminate the current processing block.
BACK.
Effect : This statement positions the list cursor on the first position of the first line in a logical unit.
So "Cancle" is not an exit command

37. Question What does an extract statement do in the ABAP program?
Answer
Once you have declared the possible record types as field groups and defined their structure, you can fill the extract dataset using the following statements: EXTRACT. When the first EXTRACT statement occurs in a program, the system creates the extract dataset and adds the first extract record to it. In each subsequent EXTRACT statement, the new extract record is added to the dataset EXTRACT HEADER. When you extract the data, the record is filled with the current values of the corresponding fields. As soon as the system has processed the first EXTRACT statement for a field group , the structure of the corresponding extract record in the extract dataset is fixed.
You can no longer insert new fields into the field groups and HEADER. If you try to modify one of the field groups afterwards and use it in another EXTRACT statement, a runtime error occurs. By processing EXTRACT statements several times using different field groups, you fill the extract dataset with records of different length and structure. Since you can modify field groups dynamically up to their first usage in an EXTRACT statement, extract datasets provide the advantage that you need not determine the structure at the beginning of the program.
