Retrieval of data using LDBs (PNP/PAP/APP/PCH) without LDBs.

Logical database

A logical database is a special ABAP/4 program which combines the contents of certain database
tables. Using logical databases facilitates the process of reading database tables.

HR Logical Database is PNP

Main Functions of the logical database PNP:

  • Standard Selection screen
  • Data Retrieval
  • Authorization check  

To use logical database PNP in your program, specify in your program attributes.

Standard Selection Screen

  • Date selection

    Date selection delimits the time period for which data is evaluated. GET PERNR retrieves all
    records of the relevant infotypes from the database.  When you enter a date selection
    period, the PROVIDE loop retrieves the infotype records whose validity period overlaps with
    at least one day of this period.

  • Person selection

    Person selection is the 'true' selection of choosing a group of employees for whom the
    report is to run.

  • Sorting Data
  • The standard sort sequence lists personnel numbers in ascending order.
  • SORT function allows you to sort the report data otherwise. All the sorting fields are
    from infotype 0001.

  • Report Class
  • You can suppress input fields, which are not used on the selection screen by
    assigning a report class to your program.
  •  If SAP standard delivered report classes do not satisfy your requirements, you can
    create your own report class through the IMG.

Data Retrieval from LDB

1. Create data structures for infotypes.

INFOTYPES: 0001, "ORG ASSIGNMENT
               0002, "PERSONAL DATA
               0008. "BASIC PAY

2. Fill data structures with the infotype records.

Start-of-selection.
GET PERNR.
End-0f-selection.
 

Read Master Data

  • Infotype structures (after GET PERNR) are internal tables loaded with data.

  • The infotype records (selected within the period) are processed sequentially by the
    PROVIDE - ENDPROVIDE loop.
             GET PERNR.
                PROVIDE * FROM Pnnnn BETWEEN PN/BEGDA AND PN/ENDDA
                       If Pnnnn-XXXX = ' '. write:/ Pnnnn-XXXX. Endif.
                ENDPROVIDE.

  • Period-Related Data

    All infotype records are time stamped.

    IT0006 (Address infotype)
    01/01/1990   12/31/9999 present
             Which record to be read depends on the date selection period specified on the
             selection screen. PN/BEGDA PN/ENDDA.

  • Current Data
    IT0006 Address  - 01/01/1990 12/31/9999   present

RP-PROVIDE-FROM-LAST retrieves the record, which is valid in the data selection period.

For example, pn/begda = '19990931'    pn/endda = '99991231'
IT0006 subtype 1 is resident address
RP-PROVIDE-FROM-LAST P0006 1 PN/BEGDA PN/ENDDA.
