SAP ABAP : Structure, Internal Table, Transparent Table

These confused me a lot. Finally, I wrote something to clear my doubts.

* Transparent Table: SAPLANE
* Internal Table: TY_PLANETYPES
* Structure: Z07_SAPLANE

*Possible ways of typing data object with structure, trans. table and internal table.

TABLES: SAPLANE. "=> Equivalent to DATA: SAPLANE TYPE SAPLANE. [Structure of SAPLANE with the name of SAPLANE]

DATA: t_1 TYPE SAPLANE, "=> Structure of SAPLANE.
t_2 TYPE LINE OF TY_PLANETYPES, "=> Structure of TY_PLANETYPES
t_3 TYPE TY_PLANETYPES, "=> Internal Table of TY_PlANETYPES
t_4 TYPE TABLE OF SAPLANE, "=> Internal Table of SAPLANE
t_5 TYPE TABLE OF TY_PLANETYPES, "=> Single Column Internal Table that listing Internal Table of TY_PLANETYPES.
t_9 LIKE LINE OF t_4, "=> Structure of SAPLANE.
t_10 LIKE LINE OF t_5, "=> Structure of TY_PLANETYPE.
t_12 TYPE TABLE OF SAPLANE WITH HEADER LINE, "=> t_12 is both a Structure and Internal Table. This is obsolete and please avoid using this. SAP OOP prohibited this syntax.
t_13 LIKE LINE OF t_12, "=> ABAP refer t_12 as Internal Table, and form a structure of SAPLANE.
t_14 TYPE Z07_SAPLANE, "=> Structure of Z07_SAPLANE
t_15 TYPE TABLE OF Z07_SAPLANE. "=> Internal Table with Z07_SAPLANE structure.

"t_6 TYPE LINE OF t_1. => SYNTAX ERROR: TYPE a data object with a data object?
"t_7 LIKE LINE OF TY_PLANETYPES. => SYNTAX ERROR: A data object must come after LIKE.
"t_8 LIKE LINE OF t_2. => SYNTAX ERROR: LINE OF a structure?
"t_11 TYPE LINE OF SAPLANE => SYNTAX ERROR: SAPLANE is not internal table. Can't use LINE OF.

Phew! Hopefully these covers everything.

SAP ABAP: Data Type Categories

I have no idea why this topic caused that much of problems to me, this is a basic topic and I shouldn't have much troubles with it. But somehow, I spent a very long time to understand it, may be that's the way to master the basic? Or I did it in stupid way? Who knows? Anyway, by hook or by crook, I have to get it clear in my mind.

ABAP has 3 categories of Data Types:

1. Predefined Data Type / ABAP Standard Type / ABAP Type:
• Complete ABAP standard types (Doesn't need to specify length)
  
1. D - Date, YYYYMMDD, length 8 bytes, fixed.
2. T - Time, HHMMSS, length 6 bytes, fixed.
3. I - Integer, lenght 4 bytes, fixed.
• = 32 bits = 10 digits and 1 +/- sign, MinMax value is +- 2,147,483,647.
4. F - Floating point number (F), 8 bytes.
• For scientific calculation purpose, it provides approximate value with rounding error.
  
• should avoid using this for any business calculation.
5. STRING - dynamic length character string.
6. XSTRING - dynamic length byte sequence (HeXadecimal String).
   
• Incomplete ABAP standard types (Length must be specified for the data objects)
  
1. C - Character string
   
2. N - Numerical Character
• This guy is odd, he is character that detects and accepts only numeric (0-9) value from Left Hand Side. Pattern King!
  
3. X - Byte Sequence (HeXadecimal String)
   
4. P - Packed Number
• This guy won't mess up with any rounding errors, because it's using fixed point arithmetic.
  
• Use it for any business calculation.
  
• But you have to specify the length and decimals for it.
• Valid Length is from 1 to 16.
• Valid Decimals ranged from 0 to 14. (Zero-decimals will convert it behave like Integral [auto round up and down])
  
2. Local Type
• Apparently, you define and declare the Data Type, and use it to type data objects within the program.
  
3. Global Type
• Obviously, you define your Data Type in ABAP Dictionary, and it can be used throughout the entire SAP system.

How you define Data Objects?
DATA: dataObject TYPE data type.

Example 1 with predefined data type:

DATA: lv_dataObjTYPE P LENGTH 5 DECIMALS 2.

Example 2 with local type:
Within your program,

TYPES: abc TYPE P LENGTH 5 DECIMALS 2.

DATA: lv_dataObj TYPE abc.

Example 3 with global type:
Go to ABAP Dictionary: Initial Screen with command SE11 and define your data type, for e.g. def.
In your program,

DATA: lv_dataObj TYPE def.

Bye Bye~ Kok Chye... May you rest in peace...

You were such a good friend. I wouldn't forget how you smiled and laughed with us in those days. Kok Chye, may you rest in peace...

Good Bye 2008!

Year 2009 started for few days already. I have yet to say good bye to year 2008. For formality purpose, Year 2008, tata~

For the past 25 years, I couldn't remember I did any review of the year or not. Anyway, after attending the Fundamental Project Management for IT, I have a strong will to write down what I had done and achieved for all year long.

1. Family : Mum's health condition remains status quo. How I wish she can get better and better, happier and happier. Dad managed to visit his siblings during my cousin's wedding. Sisters? I have to cut it short, in a nutshell, I believe they are happy this year, kakaka~
2. Love : I started a relationship. Thanks god, thanks to my current job, thanks to my 18 generation of ancestors, friends, and of course to my babe too. Thanks for accepting my love and loving me in return as well.
3. Friends : Quite sad, I am weak in maintaining a strong good term with some of my friends. CK, Jeff, Hoopy, Honey, Mama, Siew Ko, sorry ya~ I will improve it this year.
4. Career : This year's bonus not as good as last year, due to management strategic investment for regional expansion by paying out 4.6 times book price. How I wish I am the recipient. My direct selling business is not running smoothly, anyway, I know it's not my priority at this moment. The fashion house business is remain stagnant, oh! I even forgot the check the selling status with my friend, urghhhh!
5. Investment : Forget it~ You know what is Global Financial Crisis?
6. Property : Bought a car! Some might think it's a liability but I still consider it as my fix asset, although it depreciate every year. Anyway, her name is Little White, IC number is WRM9788, haven't full 1 year. Although it drains 33% of my grossl income, but I have no regrets at all. because I enjoy the freedoms and flexibility to wander around in this city with Little White.
7. Study : I have to put this aside first, bread and butter is much more important at this moment.
   
8. Sports : It is all about determination and consistency, but I just couldn't manage it. I will set a plan for Year 2009.
9. Travel : Business Trip to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam [for a project]. Personal trip to Kelantan [my home town], Lang Tengah [to kao my babe, :P], Miri [Heng Dai Ah Ku's wedding], Batu Pahat [meet Pong Chi and babe's parents], Melacca[with babe on adhoc basis] and Singapore [just right after Christmas, to meet White Rose members].
   

What else? I guess that's all at this moment. Tata~

再会老虎帮！

2009年1月2号，新一年的第一天在虎头帮报到，递了辞职信了。原本以为会松了一口气，可是，心情还是一样的糟。心中还是有满满的不舍和愧疚，姐姐们说我还嫩，出来社会工作没多久，面对这些聚散离合的场面不舒服是理所当然的。原以为这样的说辞足以解释我现在的心情与想法，但是，我想我应该是把太多的感情放在这间银行了吧？还记得玉红Aunty（一个加入老虎帮六个月就退党的Aunty）曾经告诉我，"You can love your job, but you should never love your company"，不过，我就是犯了这个大忌。也难怪的，家中老大自我年幼是帮中人物，从小到大，我所用的帽子、书包、手表等，没一样不是老虎帮的产品，可说是看着老虎帮长大的，甚至说是老虎帮的代言人也不过分。毕业后，很侥幸的通过Ajit,Norsi,还有Hiro的考验，加入老虎帮，我真的人为是冥冥中自有安排的。如此深厚的感情、际遇与缘分，你能说罢就罢吗？

只是最近心中的不满不停的累积，对于工作的热忱早已被怨海扑灭，任务在我眼中渐渐变成非常枯燥乏味烦人，使命已变成屎命，责任已变成责人。这样下去，对我的人生会有意义吗？会有成就感吗？我的事业领空还可能会大放异彩吗？可能是公司不需要我这种人才，可能是我不该加入这家公司。趁怨天怨地自怜自艾还没完全把我吞噬之前，分离让大家冷静一下，可能是就好的安排吧？

回头想想，甜蜜回忆还是有的。若不是因为这份多元角色的工作性质，我会有机会尝试各种工作角色吗？若不是一些海外任务，我会有机会到印尼，Labuan，越南吗？若不是这家公司，我会有机会认识宝贝吗？若不是这次的际遇，我会有机会接触银行与金融业吗？

在这种好坏参半的情况之下，我只能说，没有谁对，也没有谁错，只是彼此都不适合对方吧？

现在，我人在云顶（被宝贝挟持上来的）怀着一份感慨的心情，由衷地说声，对不起，阿吉爸(OMG!绝对不是阿鸡巴ha!)、老板（鱼与熊掌不能兼得，是时候选择要抽烟还是要香水了！）、整天到处睡觉流口水，超爱炫耀自己是最年轻，聪明到像神仙的笨鸡民，还有爱舞狮的禽兽烧饼，大家一起奋斗了那么久，虽知道不该说走就走，但，我该是时候追逐我自毕业以来天天流口水的梦了！

还有其他战友，吝啬缩骨爱整人的旺叔、整天以为自己很Fit却又顶着很厚的胸部和肚腩，全身被密密麻麻的毛发裹着的Gay Gay （KK）、已为人妻的晓慧（不方便过分形容她，因为她很小气的leh~kekeke）、长得很像林忆莲，却以为自己是Rain的中国翻版货，Lame~ (Peter仔)、喜欢打字不喜欢说话的阿Ong、爱说道理的VJ, 一直努力提拔我的古老前辈。还有各位aunty, 超爱Piak人的“神笑你”，超爱被人整的猪咪咪，讲话超直接的TSL，豆腐花老板娘Ah Pat，好多故事的CKM，和阿莲有暧昧关系的chew chew。再会了！

XiaoHongRen 蕭閎仁

需要歌词？
上个星期买了张CD，不要骂我！我知道现在经济萧条，但这并不是仓促决定的！下载了四首试听版，反复听了万遍（乱唬的!），喜欢得不得了（50%是真的，本人还是比较喜欢周杰伦，崇拜程度只介于喜欢，决不会升华到爱，因为我不是同性恋！），睡觉发梦都会唱出来（也是瞎编的！），所以才买的！

RM44.90leh~~~早知道买翻版就好啦(开玩笑的啦！)心疼吗？告诉你，BEH HIAO（不会）!因为，十首歌都很好听，如果不好听，都是很特别的歌！（这样说心情会比较好，T_T开玩笑的啦！真的都很好听leh!）


以下是在下给的星星:

1. ★★★★☆ 看袂落去
2. ★★★★★ 王寶釧苦守寒窯十八年
3. ★★★★★ 只要你在
4. ★★★☆☆ 未完成的愛
5. ★★★★★ 愛是什麼鬼
6. ★★★★★ 學會
7. ★★★★★ 原來你就在我身邊
8. ★★★☆☆ 連貝多芬都想告訴你
9. ★★★★★ 成名在望
10. ★★★☆☆ 你是我的樹頭
    

看到吗?最差都有三星leh~证明说整张专辑都听得入耳的。以下就是我的评语：

1. 福建歌。基本上，本人对福建歌都有所偏见，但这首歌实在是太特别啦!没法子，一定要给三颗星。有什么特别？第一句你就知道很特别了，"Tia Kong, Lu, Si Ka Nai Sai kai Sai..."(瞎编的啦~)哈哈~
   
2. 这是第一首吸引我的曲子，一首歌里可以听到三种不同的曲风，把京剧混合在曲子里，又忽而快忽而慢，一下抒情，一下来点Rock，好听到~~~
3. Walauyeh!这首歌，Lam si 任何人男的女的不男不女的，老的少的在肚子里的在棺材里的，肯定会为之所动！尤其是 Chorus 部分，“So I believe 爱就在这一刻 [si beh lam!!!唱法有点像蔡旻佑]，So I believe 就算全毁灭, 你的笑容 我永远记下来 [又来一次si beh lam!!!高转音超像我的！哈哈~像王力宏啦！]，这份爱 也是我最后一份爱[OK,可以溺毙于萧闳仁的歌声里了，安息~]”
4. 蛮好听的，只是，嗯~我没能对这首歌产生什么共鸣，感觉就好像抄袭王力宏旧时的唱法，没甚特别，不过他唱低音比王力宏更有磁性，带有少许沧桑感，值得嘉许。
5. 很可爱的一首歌，听了包你开心，哈哈哈~
6. 这首也是超好听的，“我学会了，我了解了，有些人失去都在珍惜...”[死多一次...阿弥陀佛...]
7. 这首也是超好听的，尤其是这一句“我看着你看着我原来你在我身边~”[唱“边”这字后，还要忙飚高转音，带你上天堂，阿门...]
8. 这首嘛~蛮特别的啦，只是稍嫌吵了一点，有点烦...
9. 也是满可爱的，听了也是会很开心，会更奋斗！大家一起努力！！！
10. 福建歌，我不必多说吧？不过，真的是好听，如果是华语版就爽啦！
    

终结嘛，我觉得萧闳仁的声音有它的特点，带有点沧桑，又不会太腻，唱起轻快的歌，感觉带有失落的人努力的心声，虽然飚高音部分有点像王力宏，不过我觉得王力宏旧时的唱法都是值得学习的，(说起力宏就不由得想起他刚出道是ABC的唱法，beh tahan,现在更糟，步王菲后尘，乱唱一番，什么“我怎么了”，应该是神经了吧？还是唱“不要害怕，唯一，Kiss Goodbye”等比较好听！)所以，我还是很期待他的下一张专辑的！而且也非常支持大家买他的CD.

以下是我找到的一些MTV，大家一起分享吧！
