While,thiswillnotbeexaminedingreatdetailhere(thetopicishugein

SAP.
Fundamentals
Sofar,readingdatafromdatabasetableshasbeenlookedat,now
modifyinganddeletingthisdatawillbeexamined.Therearesome
importantconceptstokeepinmindhere,forexample,thearchitecture
ofthesystem.Ifonehasathreetierarchitecture(withapresentation
layer,anapplicationserverandanunderlyingdatabase),youmustbear
inmindthattheremaybeaverylargenumberofusersaccessingthedata
atanyonetime.
Itisimportanttoensurethatprogramscreateddonotcauseany
problemsintherestofthesystemandthatthemostrecentversionof
thedataheldonthedatabaseisaccessedwhenaprogramruns.If
recordsareconstantlybeingupdated,programsmustbeabletoreadand
workwithdatawhichiscurrentinthesystem.Fortunately,mostofthis
workisdoneautomaticallybytheSAPsystem,andonedoesnthaveto
worrytoomuchabouttheunderlyingtechnologiesrelatedtohowdatais
lockedandsoon.
OneofthekeytoolswhichcanbeusedisOpenSQL.Thisactsasan
interfacebetweentheprogramscreatedandthedatabase.ByusingOpen
SQL,onecanreadandmodifydata,andalsobufferdataonthe
applicationserver,whichreducesthenumberofdatabaseaccessesthe
systemhastoperform.Itisthedatabaseinterfacewhichisalso
responsibleforsynchronisingthebufferswiththedatabasetablesat
predeterminedintervals.
Whenoneiscreatingprogramsitisimportanttokeepinmindthatif
dataisbuffered,andthisbuffereddataissubsequentlyread,itmaynot
alwaysbeuptodate.So,whentablesarecreated,theymustbecreatedin

suchawaythatthesystemistoldthatbufferingcanorcannotbeused,or
thatitcanonlybeusedincertainsituations.Whentheexampletables
werecreatedearlier,thesystemwastoldnottousebuffering.Usingthis
settingmeansthateverytimedataisreadfromatable,itwillalwaysuse
themostuptodaterecords.
Bufferingcanbeusefulfortableswhichholdmasterdataand
configurationsettings,becausethiskindofdatadoesnotgetupdated
regularly.Whenoneisworkingwithtransactionaldatahowever,one
wantsthisdatatobeasuptodateaspossible.Iftransactionaldatais
beingusedinacontextwheretablesareusingbuffering,itisimportant
toensurethatprogramsrelatedtothiscantakethisintoaccount,and
makesurethatthebufferisupdatedwithnewdatawhenthisisneeded.
WhenoneusesOpenSQLstatementsinaprogram,tablescanonlybe
accessedthroughtheABAPdictionary.Thisactsasaninterface,onedoes
notaccessthetablesdirectlythroughprograms.Thisisnotaproblem
however,aswhenoneusesOpenSQLstatements,itworksjustthesame
asifonewasaccessingthedatabasedirectly.OpenSQLmanagesits
interfacewiththedatabasebyitself,withouttheneedfortheusertodo
anythinghere.Statementscanbecodedjustasthoughtheyhaddirect
accesstothetables,thoughwiththeunderlyingknowledgethatbyusing
OpenSQL,thedataisinfactbeingaccessedthroughtheABAPdictionary
withabuiltinlevelofsafetytoensuretheABAPcodedoesnothavea
directeffectontheSAPdatabasesystemitself.
DatabaseLockObjects
Now,lockingconceptswillbeconsidered.Thisreferstolockingdatain
databasetablesandtherearetwobasictypesoflockingwhichmustbe
keptinmind.Firstofall,databaselocks.Theselockdatainaphysical
database.Whenarecordisupdated,alockissetonthis,thenwhenitis
updatedthelockisreleased.Itistheretoensurethat,onceset,thedata
canonlybeaccessedandupdatedbythoseauthorisedtodoso.When
released,itcanbeaccessedmorewidely.
Theselocks,though,arenotsufficientinanSAPsystem,andare
generallyonlyusedwhenarecordisbeingmodifiedinasinglestep
dialogueprocess.Thisprocessreferstoanytimethatthedataina
databasecanbeupdatedinasinglestep,onasinglescreen.Inthiscase,
thedatacanbelocked,updatedandreleasedveryquickly.
AsyouworkmorewithSAP,theinsufficiencyofdatabaselockswill
becomeclearer,becausetransactionsinanSAPsystemoftenoccurover

multiplesteps.If,forexample,anemployeerecordisaddedtothe
system,onemayhavetofillinmanyscreensofdata.Theuserinthiscase
willonlywanttherecordtobeaddedtothesystemattheendofthelast
screen,onceallofthedatainallofthescreenshasbeeninput.Ifjustthe
firstscreensdatawassavedintothedatabase,thentheseconds,andso
on,onebyone,iftheuserweretoquithalfwaythroughtheprocess,an
invalidandunfinishedrecordwouldbeinthedatabase.
Thisdemonstratesthehazardofusingdatabaselockswithmultistep
dialogueprocesses.Fortheseinstances,SAPhasintroducedanewkind
oflock,independentofthedatabasesystem.Thesearecalledlock
objects,andallowdatarecordstobelockedinmultipledatabasetables
forthewholedurationoftheSAPtransaction,providedthattheseare
linkedintheABAPdictionarybyforeignkeyrelationships.
SAPlockobjectsformthebasisofthelockconcept,andarefully
independentofdatabaselocks.Alockobjectallowsonetolockarecord
formultipletablesfortheentiredurationofanSAPtransaction.Forthis
towork,thetablesmustbelinkedtogetherusingforeignkeys.TheABAP
dictionaryisusedtocreatelockobjects,whichcontainthetablesandkey
fieldswhichmakeupasharedlock.
Whenthelockobjectiscreated,thesystemautomaticallycreatestwo
functionmodules,whichwillbediscussedlater.Thesefunctionmodules
aresimplymodularisedABAPprogramsthatcanbecalledfromother
programs.Thefirstofthesehastheactionofsettingalock,andthe
secondreleasesthislock.Itistheprogrammersresponsibilitytoensure
thatthesefunctionmodulesarecalledatthecorrectplaceinthe
program.Whenalockisset,alockrecordiscreatedinthecentrallock
tablefortheentireSAPsystem.Allprogramsmustadheretousingthe
SAPlockconcepttoensurethattheyset,deleteandquerythelocktable
thatstoresthelockrecordsfortherelevantentries.
Lockobjectswillnotbediscussedmuchfurther,howeversubsequent
programscreated,tablesaccessedandsoonherewillbedoneonthe
assumptionthattheyarenottobeusedoutsideofonesownsystem.
UsingOpenSQLStatements
Now,someoftheOpenSQLstatementswhichcanbeusedinprograms
willbelookedat.Asmentionedbefore,OpenSQLstatementsallowone
toindirectlyaccessandmodifydataheldintheunderlyingdatabase
tables.TheSELECTstatement,whichhasbeenusedseveraltimes
previously,isverysimilartothestandardSQLSELECTstatementused
4/18
23/09/2016
bymanyotherprogramminglanguages.WithOpenSQL,thesekindsof
statementscanbeusedinABAPprogramsregardlessofwhatthe
underlyingdatabaseis.Thesystemcouldberunning,forexample,an
Oracledatabase,aMicrosoftSQLdatabase,oranyother,andbyusing
OpenSQLinprogramsinconjunctionwiththeABAPdictionarytocreate
andmodifydatabasetables,onecanbecertainthattheABAPcodewill
nothaveanyissuesaccessingthedataheldbythespecifictypeof
databasetheSAPsystemuses.
Whenthefirstdatabasetablewascreatedpreviously,thefieldMANDT
wasused,representingtheclientnumberandformingpartofthe
databasetablekey,highlightedbelow:
Onemaythinkthat,giventheimportanceofthisfield,itwouldhaveto
beusedinABAPprogramswhenusingOpenSQLstatements,however,it
doesnot.Almostalltableswillincludethishiddenfieldwithinthem,
andtheSAPsystemisbuiltinsuchawaythatafilterisautomatically
appliedtothisfield,basedontheclientIDbeingused.Ifoneisloggedin,
forexample,toclient100,thesystemwillautomaticallyfilterallrecords
inthedatabaseonthisclientkeyandonlyreturnthoseforclient100.
WhenOpenSQLisusedintheprogramsonecreates,thesystem
managesthisfielditself,meaningitneverhastobeincludedinany
selectionsorupdatestatementsusedinprograms.Also,thiscarriesthe
benefitofsecurityintheknowledgethatanyOpenSQLstatement
executedinaprogramwillonlyaffecttherecordsheldinthecurrent
client.
UsingOpenSQLStatements5Statements
Thereare5basicOpenSQLstatementswhichwillbeusedregularlyin
programsfromhereforward.TheseareSELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,
MODIFYandDELETE.
TheSELECTstatementhas,ofcourse,alreadybeenused.This
statementallowsonetoselectrecordsfromdatabasetableswhich
willthenbeusedinaprogram.
INSERTallowsnewrecordstobeinsertedintoadatabasetable.

UPDATEallowsrecordswhichalreadyexistinthetabletobe
modified.
MODIFYperformsasimilartasktoupdate,withslightdifferences
whichwewilldiscussshortly.
DELETE,ofcourse,allowsrecordstobedeletedfromatable.
WheneveranyofthesestatementsareusedinanABAPprogram,itis
importanttocheckwhethertheactionexecutedhasbeensuccessful.If
onetriestoinsertarecordintoadatabasetable,anditisnotinserted

alreadybeenused:SYSUBRC.Whenastatementisexecuted
successfully,theSYSUBRCfieldwillcontainavalueof0,sothiscanbe
checkedforand,ifitappears,onecancontinuewiththeprogram.Ifitis
notsuccessful,however,thisfieldwillcontainadifferentvalue,and
dependingonthestatement,thisvaluecanhavedifferentmeanings.Itis
thereforeimportanttoknowwhatthedifferentreturncodesareforthe
differentABAPstatements,soastorecogniseproblemsandtakethe

InsertStatement
TheSELECTstatementhasalreadybeenused,sohereitwillbeskipped
fornowtofocusontheINSERTstatement.Inthisexamplethen,anew
recordwillbeinsertedintotheZEMPLOYEEStable.Firstly,type
INSERT,followedbythetablename,andthenaperiod:
Doingthis,onemustalwaystypethetablename,avariablesname

TheMODIFYstatementcouldbesaidtobelikeacombinationofthe
