SAP ABAP Interview Questions and Answers - 3

31. A field containing currency amounts (data type CURR) must be assigned to a reference
table and a reference field. Explain.
As a reference table, a system containing all the valid currencies is assigned or any other table,
which contains a field with the currency key format. This field is called as reference field. The
assignment of the field containing currency amounts to the reference field is made at runtime.
The value in the reference field determines the currency of the amount.
32. A field containing quantity amounts (data type QUAN) must be assigned to a reference
table and a reference field. Explain?
As a reference table, a system table containing all the valid quantity units is assigned or any other
table, which contains a field with the format or quantity units (data type UNIT). This field is
called as reference field.
The assignment of the field containing quantity amounts to the reference field is made at
runtime. The value in the reference field determines the quantity unit of the amount.
33. What is the significance of Technical settings (specified while creating a table in the
data dictionary)?
By specifying technical settings we can control how database tables are created in the database.
The technical settings allows us to
• Optimize storage space requirements.
• Table access behavior.
• Buffering required.
• Changes to entries logged.
34. What is a Table attribute?
The table's attributes determine who is responsible for maintaining a table and which types of
access are allowed for the table. The most important table attributes are:
• Delivery class.
• Table maintenance allowed.
• Activation type.
35. What is the significance of Delivery Class?
• The delivery class controls the degree to which the SAP or the customer is responsible for table
maintenance.
• Whether SAP provides the table with or without contents.
• Determines the table type.
• Determines how the table behaves when it is first installed, at upgrade, when it is transported,
and when a client copy is performed.
36. What is the max. no. Of structures that can be included in a table or structure.
Nine.
37. What are two methods of modifying SAP standard tables?

38. What is the difference between a Substructure and an Append Structure?

include….

in the append structure.
39. To how many tables can an append structure be assigned.
One.
40. If a table that is to be extended contains a long field, we cannot use append structures
why?

True.
47. What are the 2 other types of Views, which are not allowed in Release 3.0?
• Structure Views.
• Entity Views.
48. What is a Match Code?
Match code is a tool to help us to search for data records in the system. Match Codes are an
