ABAP Programming Projects
Project Management and Documentation
General
All project files should be saved on a regular basis in your project folder on the network.
Normally you should have a project folder for the course with subfolders for each project.
Use the download utility in ABAP workbench to download your work from SAP.
All programs should have a program header similar to the following.
*------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
*Project XX – Airplane Data
*Programmer: Your Name
*Date: 09/15/2003
*Program: Zfmln_L1A_hello_world
*Description: This program generates a list of the data that is in the table SPFLI
*------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
Note that all program names start with a Z. The next 3-4 characters are your initials/dana
account. Next is the Project ID. Last is some name that identifies the program function.
*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
* Document major sections of your program with blocks similar to this
* You can use dash, solid or other types of lines to form the block
*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*
* You can use single comment lines like this and inline comments using “
* to document a statement or groups of statements.
Submitting projects
Submit a copy of the source code and examples of executions. Examples of executions
should demonstrate testing of more than one scenario. Test both friendly and unfriendly
use to the extent that you program for unfriendly scenarios.
Network Drive
Set up a folder for this course on your network drive. The folder name should have the
course number in it. Save your source to this folder as backup.

DB tables using SQL.
Project Requirements:
1) Enter the Airline (carrid) on the selection screen.

3) Process the bookings (sbook) for that carrid by flight number and date (sflight). (2
select loops)
4) Do not display detail sbook rows.
5) Sum and display the total amount of revenue and number of bookings by flight
6) Display using some color.
7) Display headings.
Sample Solution: See solution for L4C.
Project L4C – Lists C using a table.
Project Objectives: This project will give you some perspective of processing multiple
DB Tables using a Join with an internal table.
Project Requirements:
1) Similar to L4B except you use a SQL Join to load an internal table
2) Enter the Airline (carrid) and flight date range on the selection screen.
3) List the bookings for that carrid by flight number (connid) by processing the
internal table.
4) Add and display the total amount of revenue and number of bookings by flight
5) Loop processing on table
6) Use ON change of on keys carrid, connid and fldate
7) Save keys in work area to print the correct keys being processed when there is a
change. This is a little tricky. Don’t print first change (count = zero). Print last
set when the loop is complete. Printing is on a delay.
8) Display lines using some color.
Sample Solution
