Introduction:
This article addresses the requirement of a Routine in InfoPackage selection on 0CALDAY. Using this
routine, I need to load only that particular Date Data into InfoCube and other data just ignore.
Live Scenario:
Some times when we are loading data from Source System into BW/BI System, we need some selections in
InfoPackage in BW/BI side, this is useful specially when we are doing Full Loads, and actually we need only
One Day before data, i.e. SY-DATUM – 1 data only.
Here in this example I took Flat File as my Source System and explained all steps how to do it.
Create Flat File DataSource:
Create one Transactional Flat File DataSource and allow 0CALDAY for selection in InfoPackage, see the
below screens.
If you see the above screen, in Fields Tab we can find all fields which are using for extraction and for
0CALDAY, in selection column I selected it as X , this means once you select it, then this Field/InfoObejct will
be available in InfoPackage select. You just press F4 in that Selection it will display the values like below…
Apart from this the remaining part is same as normal Flat File DataSource creation only. You just Save &
Activate the DataSource.

All Tabs of Flat File DataSource:

Transformations and DTP:
See the below screen, it is just normal Transformations and DTP.

Routine in InfoPackage:
This is the place where we are going to write the routine using ABAP code and implementing our logic. i.e.
just consider only System date – 1 records.
Eg: This article I prepared on 24-06-2011, and my flat file is having data from 2010 year to 2011 (till
December), but I need only 23-06-2011 Data.
See the InfoPackage in below screen and also settings for creating a routine.
If you see the above screen, you can find the 0CALDAY in Data Selection tab, this is because of our
selection at the time of DataSource creation, for reference see the initial screens and DataSource creation.
In above screen, you can find Type (Variable Change….) if you press F4 it will show the below options.

Just select 6 (ABAP Routine) option, it will ask name…follow the below steps.
Give name “Routine for Date Selection” and click on Editor Button.

Code Window:
Once you click on Editor Button, you can see the below screen.
Code before Change:
program conversion_routine.
* Type pools used by conversion program
type-pools: rsarc, rsarr, rssm.
tables: rssdlrange.
* Global code used by conversion rules
*$*$ begin of global - insert your declaration only below this line *-*
* TABLES: ...
* DATA: ...
*$*$ end of global - insert your declaration only before this line *-*
* -------------------------------------------------------------------
* InfoObject =
* Fieldname = CALDAY
* data type = DATS
* length = 000008
* convexit =
* -------------------------------------------------------------------
form compute_CALDAY
tables l_t_range structure rssdlrange
using p_infopackage type rslogdpid
p_fieldname type rsfnm
changing p_subrc like sy-subrc.
* Insert source code to current selection field
*$*$ begin of routine - insert your code only below this line *-*
data: l_idx like sy-tabix.

read table l_t_range with key
fieldname = 'CALDAY'.
l_idx = sy-tabix.
*....
modify l_t_range index l_idx.
p_subrc = 0.
*$*$ end of routine - insert your code only before this line *-*
endform. "
Code After Change:
Now we will write few lines of ABAP code to fulfill our requirement. See the below code. Once you write the
code, check the syntax error, if it is Ok then Save the routine.

******Surendra Kumar Reddy Koduru*****Start***
zdate = sy-datum - 1.
l_t_range-low = zdate.
l_t_range-option = 'EQ'.
l_t_range-sign = 'I'.
******Surendra Kumar Reddy Koduru*****End******
modify l_t_range index l_idx.
p_subrc = 0.
*$*$ end of routine - insert your code only before this line *-*
endform. "

Data Loading using above InfoPackage:
For your reference, I’m showing all tabs of the InfoPackage in below screens.

Finally in the below screen you can find the Start Button, so just click it and load the data from Flat File.
Once you click on Start Button, you can see the message “Data was requested” , then go to Monitor and
see the status of the Data Load.

Monitor Screen:
See the below Monitor screen, you can find our selection also under Selection in right side and number of
records transferred.
Here our Flat file is having only few records will fall under 23-06-2011 date, but it is showing 10681 records,
so see the PSA Data, there you can find only related to 23-06-2011 date data.
PSA Data:
Click on PSA Icon like below.

© 2011 SAP AG 17
See in above screen, you can find only 33 records are loaded into PSA, all these records are 23-06-2011
date records.
