Hi GSK,

In addition to Amit's points I am giving some more points regarding u r question

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.

Hi,

Subroutines are program specific. They are declared and used inside a single Program.

There are some stmts which gets repeated in the program. In that case we group these statements inside a form & endform and call it using perform stmt. It can be used only within the program.

Pls go through this link ..

Dear GSK,

A subroutine is an internal modularization unit within a program, to which you can pass data using an interface. We use subroutines to encapsulate parts of your program, either to make the program easier to understand, or because a particular section of coding is used at several points in the program.The name of a Subroutine must be unique within the program (two programs can have different Subroutine with the same name). A Subroutine is intended to be called internal (from within the program, however you can call them external).

You can declare local data in a subroutine.After any local data declarations, you program the statements that are executed as part of the subroutine.Lifetime and visibility is limited to the moment the subroutine is called.

Types of Subroutines -

· Internal Subroutines: The source code of the internal subroutines will be in the same ABAP/4 program as the calling procedure (internal call).

· External Subroutines:External Subroutines are subroutines that are called from another program.

External Subroutines can be grouped into Subroutine Pools.
