HOw to Call Subroutine in Sap Script?..

Answer / k.nagalakshmi

The example defines a subroutine FORM CALLED_FROM_SAPSCRIPT
in the ABAP ZDEMO_SAPSCRIPT_PERFORM . This subroutine is
called from the SapScript form when the respective element

/E PERFORM_ABAP
is executed. The syntax of the call is like

/: PERFORM CALLED_FROM_SAPSCRIPT IN PROGRAM zsapscriptexits
/: USING &invar1&
/: USING &invar2&
...
/: CHANGING &outvar1&
/: CHANGING &outvar2&
...
/: ENDPERFORM

The subroutine must be defined in the ABAP/4 report as
follows:

FORM form TABLES IN_TAB STRUCTURE ITCSY
OUT_TAB STRUCTURE ITCSY.
...
ENDFORM.

Answer / k.nagalakshmi

Calling ABAP Subroutines: PERFORM

You can use the PERFORM command to call an ABAP subroutine
(form) from
any program, subject to the normal ABAP runtime
authorization
checking. You can use such calls to subroutines for
carrying out
calculations, for obtaining data from the database that is
needed at
display or print time, for formatting data, and so on.

PERFORM commands, like all control commands, are executed
when a
document is formatted for display or printing.
Communication between a
subroutine that you call and the document is by way of
symbols whose
values are set in the subroutine.

The system does not execute the PERFORM command within
SAPscript
replace modules, such as TEXT_SYMBOL_REPLACE or
TEXT_INCLUDE_REPLACE.
The replace modules can only replace symbol values or
resolve include
texts, but not interpret SAPscript control commands.

Syntax in a form window:

/: PERFORM <form> IN PROGRAM <prog>
/: USING &INVAR1&
/: USING &INVAR2&
......
/: CHANGING &OUTVAR1&
/: CHANGING &OUTVAR2&
......
/: ENDPERFORM

INVAR1 and INVAR2 are variable symbols and may be of any of
the four
SAPscript symbol types.

OUTVAR1 and OUTVAR2 are local text symbols and must
therefore be
character strings.

The ABAP subroutine called via the command line stated
above must be
defined in the ABAP report prog as follows:

FORM <form> TABLES IN_TAB STRUCTURE ITCSY
OUT_TAB STRUCTURE ITCSY.
...
ENDFORM.

The values of the SAPscript symbols passed with /: USING...
are now
stored in the internal table IN_TAB . Note that the system
passes the
values as character string to the subroutine, since the
field Feld
VALUE in structure ITCSY has the domain TDSYMVALUE (CHAR
80). See the
example below on how to access the variables.

The internal table OUT_TAB contains names and values of the
CHANGING
parameters in the PERFORM statement. These parameters are
local text
symbols, that is, character fields. See the example below
on how to
return the variables within the subroutine.

From within a SAPscript form, a subroutine GET_BARCODE in
the ABAP
program QCJPERFO is called. Then the simple barcode
contained there
('First page', 'Next page', 'Last page') is printed as
local variable
symbol.

Definition in the SAPscript form:

/: PERFORM GET_BARCODE IN PROGRAM QCJPERFO
/: USING &PAGE&
/: USING &NEXTPAGE&
/: CHANGING &BARCODE&
/: ENDPERFORM
/
/ &BARCODE&

Coding of the calling ABAP program:

REPORT QCJPERFO.

FORM GET_BARCODE TABLES IN_PAR STUCTURE ITCSY
OUT_PAR STRUCTURE ITCSY.

DATA: PAGNUM LIKE SY-TABIX, "page number

NEXTPAGE LIKE SY-TABIX. "number of next page

READ TABLE IN_PAR WITH KEY 'PAGE'.
CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
PAGNUM = IN_PAR-VALUE.

READ TABLE IN_PAR WITH KEY 'NEXTPAGE'.
CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
NEXTPAGE = IN_PAR-VALUE.

READ TABLE OUT_PAR WITH KEY 'BARCODE'.
CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
IF PAGNUM = 1.
OUT_PAR-VALUE = '|'. "First page

ELSE.
OUT_PAR-VALUE = '||'. "Next page

ENDIF.

IF NEXTPAGE = 0.
OUT_PAR-VALUE+2 = 'L'. "Flag: last page
ENDIF.

MODIFY OUT_PAR INDEX SY-TABIX.

ENDFORM.
