1) How many types of tables exist and What are they in data dictionary ?

Ans : Transparent Tables - Pooled Tables Cluster Tables

2) What is the step by step process to create a table in data dictionary?

Ans : Create Domain Create Data elements Create fields Create Tables 3) Different types of data classes in SAP ? 1) Master Data 2) Transaction Data 3) Organizational / Configuration Data. 4) System Data. : It is the data which R/3 system needs for itself. 4) Can you create a table with fields not referring to data elements? ANS: YES. eg:- ITAB LIKE SPFLI. Here we are referening to a data object (SPFLI) not data element. SAP memory The SAP memory, otherwise known as the global memory, is available to a user during the entire duration of a terminal session. Its contents are retained across transaction boundaries as well as external and internal sessions. The SET PARAMETER and GET PARAMETER statements allow you to write to, or read from, the SAP memory. ABAP/4 memory The contents of the ABAP/4 memory are retained only during the lifetime of an external session (see also Organization of Modularization Units). You can retain or pass data across internal sessions. The EXPORT TO MEMORY and IMPORT FROM MEMORY statements allow you to write data to, or read data from, the ABAP memory. 6. How data is stored in cluster table? Each field of cluster table behaves as tables which contains the no. of entries. 7. What are client dependant objects in abap/sap? SAP Script layout, text element, and some DDIC objects. 8. On which even we can validate the input fields in module progams? 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.) 9. 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. 10. 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. 11. When top of the page event is triggered? After executing first write statement in start-of-selection event. 12. Can we create field without data element and how? In SE11 one option is available above the fields strip. Data element/ direct type. 13. How do we debug sapscript? Go to SE71 give lay set name , go to utilities select debugger mode on. 14. Which transaction code can I used to analyze the performance of ABAP program. TCode AL21. 15. 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. Following are some of the answers which I gave up to my knowledge. 1. What is the use of 'outer join' 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. 16. 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. 17. What is the use of 'table index'? Ans .Index is used for faster access of data base tables. 18. 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.

19. Can you set up background processing using CALL TRANSACTION? Yes, Using No Screen Mode. 20. 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.
