Looking for ABAP interview questions? You have come to THE
RIGHT place. I have planned to
continuously update this blog post. So if you have been
appearing for interviews recently , share your experiences in the
comments below:
Lets make this list count and add some value to everyone.
All the best for your interview preparation . J Here you go!!
Important
Question 1: What is the difference between User Exit and
Function Exit?
User Exit Customer Exit
User exit is implemented in the form
of a Subroutine i.e. PERFORM xxx.
Example: INCLUDE MVF5AFZZ
PERFORM
userexit_save_document_prepare.
A customer exit can be
implemented as:
Function exit
Screen Exit
Menu Exit
Field Exit
Example: CALL
Customer function xxx
INCLUDE xxx.
You modify this
include.
In case of a PERFORM, you have
access to almost all the data. So you
have better control, but more risk of
making the system unstable.
You have access only to
the importing,
exporting, changing
and tables parameter
of the Function Module.
So you have limited
access to data.

http://sap-interview-questions-and-answers.blogspot.com/2012/07/abap-interview-questions.html 2/22
User exit is considered a
modification and not an
enhancement.
A customer exit is
considered an
enhancement.
You need Access Key for User Exit. You do not need access
key.
Changes are lost in case of an
upgrade.
Changes are upgrade
compatible.
User exit is the earliest form of
change option offered by SAP.
Customer exits came
later and they
overcome the
shortcomings of User
Exit.
No such thing is required here. To activate a function
exit, you need to create
a project in SMOD and
activate the project.
What is the difference between RFC and BAPI?
BAPI RFC
Just as Google offers
Image/Chart/Map APIs OR
Facebook offers APIs for
Comment/Like, SAP offers APIs
in the form of BAPIs. BAPI is a
library of function modules
released by SAP to the public so
that they can interface with SAP.
RFC is nothing but a remote
enabled function module. So
if there is a Function Module
in SAP system 1 on server X
, it can be called from a SAP
system 2 residing on server
Y.
There is a Business Object
Associated with a BAPI. So a
BAPI has an Interface, Key Field,
Attributes, Methods, and Events.
No Business Object is
associated with a RFC.
Outside world (JAVA, VB, .Net or
any Non SAP system) can
connect to SAP using a BAPI.
NonSAP world cannot
connect to SAP using RFC.
Error or Success messages are
returned in a RETURN table.
RFC does not have a return
table.
Question 3:What is the difference between SAPSCRIPT and
SMARTFORM?
SAPSCRIPT SMARTFORM
6/8/2014 SAP ABAP Interview Questions Part 1 | SAP Interview Questions and Answers
http://sap-interview-questions-and-answers.blogspot.com/2012/07/abap-interview-questions.html 3/22
SAPSCRIPT is client
dependent.
SMARTFORM is client
independent.
SAPSCRIPT does not generate
any Function module.
SMARTFORM generates a
Function Module when
activated.
Main Window is must. You can create a SMARTFORM
without a Main Window.
SAPSCRIPT can be converted
to SMARTFORMS. Use
Program SF_MIGRATE.
SMARTFORMS cannot be
converted to SCRIPT.
Only one Page format is
possible
Multiple page formats are
possible.
Such thing is not possible in
SCRIPT.
You can create multiple copies
of a SMARTFORM using the
Copies Window.
PROTECT ENDPROTECT
command is used for Page
protection.
The Protect Checkbox can be
ticked for Page Protection.
The way SMARTFORM is developed and the way in which SCRIPT
is developed is entirely different. Not listing down those here.
That would be too much.
Question 4:What is the difference between Call Transaction
Method and the Session method ?
Session Method Call Transaction
Session method id generally
used when the data volume is
huge.
Call transaction method is
when the data volume is low
Session method is slow as
compared to Call transaction.
Call Transaction method is
relatively faster than Session
method.
SAP Database is updated
when you process the
sessions. You need to process
the sessions separately via
SM35.
SAP Database is updated
during the execution of the
batch input program.
Errors are automatically
handled during the processing
of the batch input session.
Errors should be handled in
the batch input program.

Question 5: What is the difference between BDC and BAPI?
BAPI BDC
BAPI is faster than BDC. BDC is relatively slower than
BAPI.
BAPI directly updates
database.
BDC goes through all the
screens as a normal user
would do and hence it is
slower.
No such processing options
are available in BAPI.
Background and Foreground
processing options are
available for BDC.
BAPI would generally used
for small data uploads.
BDCs would be preferred for
large volumes of data upload
since background processing
option is available.
For processing errors, the
Return Parameters for BAPI
should be used.This
parameter returns exception
messages or success
messages to the calling
program.
Errors can be processed in
SM35 for session method and
in the batch input program for
Call Transaction method.
Question 6: What is the difference between macro and
subroutine?
Macro Subroutine
Macro can be called only in
the program it is defined.
Subroutine can be called from
other programs also.
Macro can have maximum 9
parameters.
Can have any number of
parameters.
Macro can be called only
after its definition.
This is not true for Subroutine.
A macro is defined inside:
DEFINE
.
END-OF-DEFINITION.
Subroutine is defined inside:
FORM ..
..
ENDFORM.
Macro is used when same
thing is to be done in a
program a number of times.
Subroutine is used for
modularization.

Question 7: What is the difference between SAP memory and
ABAP memory?
SAP Memory ABAP Memory
When you are using the
SET/GET Parameter ID
command, you are using the
SAP Memory.
When you are using the
EXPORT IMPORT Statements,
you are using the ABAP
Memory.
SAP Memory is User Specific.
What does this mean?The
data stored in SAP memory
can be accesses via any
session from a terminal.
ABAP Memory is User and
Transaction Specific.What
does this mean? The data
stored in ABAP memory can
be accessed only in one
session. If you are creating
another session, you cannot
use ABAP memory.
Important
Question 8: What is the difference between AT SELECTION-
SCREEN and AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT?
AT SELECTION-SCREEN is the PAI of the selection screen
whereas
AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT is the PBO of the selection
screen.
Question 9: What is the difference between SY-INDEX and SY-
TABIX?
Remember it this way TABIX = Table.
So when you are looping over an internal table, you use SY-
TABIX.
When you use DO ENDDO / WHILE for looping, there is no
table involved.
So you use SY-INDEX.
For READ statement, SY-INDEX is used.
Question 10: What is the difference between VIEW and a
TABLE?A table physically stores data.
A view does not store any data on its own. It can contain data
from multiple tables and it just accesses/reads data from those
tables.

http://sap-interview-questions-and-answers.blogspot.com/2012/07/abap-interview-questions.html 6/22
Question 11: What is the difference between Customizing and
Workbench request?A workbench request is client independent
whereas a Customizing request is client dependent.
Changes to development objects such as Reports, Function
Modules, Data Dictionary objects etc. fall under Workbench
requests.
Changes in SPRO / IMG that define system behavior fall under
customizing requests.
An example would be defining number ranges in SPRO.
In short, generally a developer would end up creating a
Workbench request and a Functional Consultant would create a
Customizing request.

VPCruOTgcl4/T_dGBAuZMGI/AAAAAAAAHK4/z3ZIjCouR-U/s1600/1.png]
Question 12: What is the difference between PASS BY VALUE
and PASS BY REFERENCE?These concepts are generally used
for Function modules or Subroutines etc. and their meaning can
be taken literally.
Say we are passing a variable lv_var:
CALL FUNCTION 'DEMO_FM'
EXPORTING
VAR = lv_var.
When we PASS lv_var by VALUE , the actual value of lv_var is
copied into VAR.
When we PASS lv_var by REFERENCE , the reference or the
memory address of lv_var is passed to the Function module. So
VAR and lv_var will refer to the same memory address and have
the same value.
Question 13: What is the difference between Master data
6/8/2014 SAP ABAP Interview Questions Part 1 | SAP Interview Questions and Answers
http://sap-interview-questions-and-answers.blogspot.com/2012/07/abap-interview-questions.html 7/22
and Transaction data?Master data is data that doesnt change
often and is always needed in the same way by business.
Ex: One time activities like creating Company Codes, Materials,
Vendors, Customers etc.
Transaction data keeps on changing and deals with day to day
activities carried out in business.
Transactions done by or with Customers, Vendors, and Materials
etc. generate Transaction Data. So data related to Sales, Purchases,
Deliveries, Invoices etc. represent transaction data
Some important transactions here for Master Data:
Material: MM01 MM02 MM03
Vendor: XK01 , XK02 , XK03
Customer: Xd01 , XD02 , XD03
Some Important transactions for Transaction data:
Purchase Order: ME21n , ME22n , ME23n
Sales Order: VA01 , VA02 , VA03
Goods Receipt: MIGO
Invoices: MIRO
Important
Question 14: What will you use SELECT SINGLE or SELECT
UPTO 1 ROWS ?
What will you use SELECT SINGLE or SELECT UPTO 1 ROWS ?
There is great confusion over this in the SAP arena.
If you Google, you will see lots of results that will say SELECT
SINGLE is faster and efficient than SELECT UPTO 1 ROWS.
But that is 100% incorrect.
SELECT UPTO 1 ROWS is faster than SELECT SINGLE.
If for a WHERE condition, only one record is present in DB, then
both are more or less same.
However, If for a WHERE condition multiple records are present
in DB, SELECT UPTO 1 ROWS will perform better than SELECT
SINGLE.

Question 15: What is the difference between .Include Structure
and .Append structure?
I have seen ridiculous answers for this at many places on the
Web.
The true answer is this:
Lets say you want to use the Structure X in your table Y.
With .Include X, you can include this structure in multiple tables.
6/8/2014 SAP ABAP Interview Questions Part 1 | SAP Interview Questions and Answers
http://sap-interview-questions-and-answers.blogspot.com/2012/07/abap-interview-questions.html 8/22
With .Append X, you specify that structure X has been used in
table Y and that this cannot be used in any other table now. So
you restrict structure X only to Table Y.
Important
Question 16: Can you describe the events in ABAP?
LOAD-OF-PROGRAM:
INITIALIZATION: If you want to initialize some values before
selection screen is called
AT SELECTION SCREEN OUTPUT: PBO for Selection Screen
AT SELECTION SCREEN: PAI for Selection Screen
START-OF-SELECTION
END-OF-SELECTION
TOP-OF-PAGE
END-OF-PAGE
AT USER-COMMAND: When user click on say buttons in
application toolbar. SY-UCOMM
AT LINE SELECTION: Double click by user on basic list. SY-LISEL
AT PF##: When User Presses any of the Function Keys
TOP-OF-PAGE DURING LINE SELECTION
Question 17:
What events do you know in Module Pool Programming?
PBO: you know this . If not you should know this . That's basic.
PAI: You know this. If not you should know this . That's basic.
POV: Process on Value request i.e. when you press F4.
POH: Process on help request i.e. when you press F1.
Question 18: Can you show multiple ALVs on a Single Screen?
Yes, there are multiple ways of doing this:
If you are using OOALV, you can create multiple
custom containers
(cl_gui_custom_container) & put an ALV control
(cl_gui_alv_grid) in each of those.
You can even use a Splitter container control and
place multiple ALVs in each of
the split container.
If you are using Normal ALV, You can use the
following FMS:
1. REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_INIT
2. REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_APPEND
3. REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_DISPLAY
Question 19: A system has two clients 100 and 500 on the same
6/8/2014 SAP ABAP Interview Questions Part 1 | SAP Interview Questions and Answers
http://sap-interview-questions-and-answers.blogspot.com/2012/07/abap-interview-questions.html 9/22
application server. If you make changes to a SAPSCRIPT on client
100, will the changes be available in client 500?
No. SAPSCRIPT is client dependent. You will have to transport
changes from client 100 to client 500. However, for
SMARTFORMS, Changes will be made both for client 100 and
client 500.
Question 20: There are 1000s of IDOCs in your system and say
you no longer need some of them? How will you get rid of those
IDOCs?
One way is to archive the IDOCs using transaction SARA.
But what the interviewer was expecting was How do you change
IDoc Status?
There are different ways of doing this:
A) Use FM IDOC_STATUS_WRITE_TO_DATABASE
B) USE FMs:
EDI_DOCUMENT_OPEN_FOR_PROCESS and
EDI_DOCUMENT_CLOSE_PROCESS
Question 21: What is the difference between CHAIN
ENDCHAIN and FIELD commands in Module Pool?
If you want to validate a single field in Module Pool, you use the
FIELD Command.
On error, this single filed is kept open for input.
If you however want to validate multiple fields, you can use the
CHAIN ENDCHAIN command. You specify multiple fields
between CHAIN and ENDCHAIN.
On error, all fields between CHAIN ENDCHAIN are kept open
for input.
Question 22: What are the types of Function Modules? What
is an UPDATE function module?There are three types of
Function Modules: Normal , RFC , UPDATE.
The aim of the Update function module is either to COMMIT all
changes to database at once or to ROLLBACK all the changes. By
definition, an update function module is used to bundle all the
updates in your system in one LUW (logical unit of work).
This FM is called whenever COMMIT WORK statement is
6/8/2014 SAP ABAP Interview Questions Part 1 | SAP Interview Questions and Answers

YE/T_7c3jHlt9I/AAAAAAAAHLE/qz5mImUw03o/s1600/1.png]
encountered in the calling program and the way you call it is
CALL FUNCTION XXX IN UPDATE TASK.
Have a look at FM EDI_DOCUMENT_CLOSE_PROCESS_UPD and do
a where used.
This FM is used as Update FM in case you make changes to IDoc
contents/status via your program.
Question 23: How is the table sorted when you do not specify
field name and Ascending or Descending? On what criteria will
the table be sorted? Do internal table have keys?
Yes, internal table have keys.
The default key is made up of the non-numeric fields of the table
line in the order in which they occur.
Question 24: Explain what is a foreign key relationship?
Explain this with the help of an example.
Lets discuss about tables EKKO (PO header) and EKPO (PO line
item).
Can you have an entry in table EKPO without having an entry in
table EKKO?
In other words can you have PO line items without the PO
header?
How does this happen? The answer is foreign key relationship.
So foreign keys come into picture when you define
relationship between two tables.

_eCI/UAFB1pb6RDI/AAAAAAAAHLU/ib5vTWgScp0/s1600/2.png]
Foreign keys are defined at field level.
Check the foreign key relation for field EBELN of table EKPO.
The check table is EKKO. This just means that whenever an entry
is made in EKPO, it is checked whether the entered value for
EBELN already exists in EKKO. If not, entry cannot be made to
EKPO table.

Question 25 : What is the difference between a value table
and a check table?Check table is maintained when you define
foreign key relationships.
For Check table, read question above.
.
Value table is defined and maintained at a domain level.
At a domain level, you can mention allowed values in the form of:
1) Single values
2) Ranges
3) Value tableFor example, have a look at domain SHKZG. Only
allowed values are S and H for Debit/Credit indicator. Whenever
and wherever you use this domain, the system will force you to
use only these two values: S and H.
Another example is domain MATNR. For this domain the value
table is MARA.
So whenever and wherever, you use this domain the system will
force you to use values for MATNR in table MARA.

Question 26: How do you find BAPI?Approach1:
You can go to Transaction BAPI and then search for your desired
object.
Say you want to find a BAPI for creating users in the system, in
such case you can search for the User and find the relevant
BAPIs.
Approach2:
Another way is to find a Business Object. Say you want to find a
BAPI for creating Material in SAP and you know the BO for
Material is BUS1001006. You can go to Transaction SWO1 and
enter the BO BUS1001006 in the BOR. Then have a look at the
methods for this BO.

Question: What is the difference between inner joins
and outer joins?
Inner joins will give you the common data in two table.
Outer Joins are two types left outer join and right join.
Left Outer join means the complete data from left side
table and the common data from right side table.
In the same way Right outer join means complete data
from right side table and common data from left side
table..

Question: What is the difference between INSTANCE
methods and STATIC methods?
we can access the static methods using both class
name and object. When ever we access it these
methods will share the same memory.. But in the case
Instance Methods, we can access these using object
only. when ever we create an object a new memory
location will be allocated.

Question: Synchronous and asynchronous methods in BDC ?
Synchronous update is , the control will not come to the program
from transaction un till and un less if the data is uploaded to all the
database tables when use 'CALL TRANSACTION'. Now
Technically, The update task will wait for Update work process to
finish the updating before it processing the next record..
Asynchronous method is that, The control will come back to the
program from transaction before updating to DB tables, Now
technically, The update task does not wait for the update work
process to finish the update.
Update Mode 'A' is faster than 'S' and at the same it is not
suggested to use mode 'A' for large data sets..

Very Nice explaination !!!!
It looks interesting in preparing for the interview than studying each
topic, as ABAP is a huge ocean and time consuming subject to
grasp entirely....
At last you have done a great job ...Thank you sir...

Thanks Amby.. Good collection and really helpful.
Question 14: What will you use SELECT SINGLE or SELECT
UPTO 1 ROWS ?
My take on this is:
If you have full primary keys available in your WHERE clause,
SELECT SINGLE should be used (since, you are sure only 1 row
would be fetched).
If you have partial keys in your WHERE clause and you want just
one row to do some validation stuff, then use UPTO 1 ROWS (there
would be multiple rows for this SELECT but system would fetch
one and come out).
With Regards,

Instead of BDC recording use BAPI methods to upload data in the
database.
