It is very easy to apply a progress indicator on your abap programs. This will enable the

user to determine how much long will he wait until the program finish its processing.

This is done by simply calling the function module SAPGUI_PROGRESS_INDICATOR.

CODE #1
 
CALL FUNCTION 'SAPGUI_PROGRESS_INDICATOR'
  EXPORTING
    VALUE(PERCENTAGE) DEFAULT 0
    VALUE(TEXT) DEFAULT SPACE

PERCENTAGE is where you indicate the percentage of processing time and the TEXT is

where you indicate the text to be displayed on the status bar. This parameters can be

set with static values. But if you want, you could also add a few line of codes to make your

progress indicator dynamic and based on the actual number of records being process. This tip

is applicable when you are querying and processing a record from a database.

First you have to declare three decimal variables, see example below.

CODE #2
 
DATA:   v_percent    TYPE p DECIMALS 4,	"holds the actual percentage of process time
        v_increment  TYPE p DECIMALS 4, "holds the increment value per single loop
        v_mod        TYPE p DECIMALS 4. "used as indicator

Now refer to the lines below for the rest of the codes.

CODE #2
 
****Your select statement goes here******
 
* this will determine the increment value based on the result of the select statement
  v_increment = 100 / sy-dbcnt.
 
  LOOP AT it INTO wa.
*calculate the progress percentage on every single loop
    v_percent = v_percent + v_increment.
 
*this codes indicates that I want to update my progress indicator every 5% increase
*in percentage. you can change this anytime you want.
    v_mod = v_percent MOD 5.
    IF  v_mod  < 1.
      CALL FUNCTION 'SAPGUI_PROGRESS_INDICATOR'
        EXPORTING
          percentage = v_percent
          text       = 'Processing, please wait.'.
    ENDIF.

SAP: Setting Up Logon Rules

Go to transaction code RSPFPAR_LOGIN. It will give you a complete list of parameters for Logon Rules. Just refer to the Comment field for the parameter definition.

These parameters can be maintain through Profile Maintenance (RZ10). When SAP startup process reads a profile parameter, it checks first on the Instance Profile. If the parameter cannot be found on the instance profile then it will look on the Default profile. If neither profile contains the parameter, the default value is taken out of the startup program coding. With that, I suggest you to create or maintain parameters in Default Profile. Just ensure that a particular parameter appears only in the default and not in the instance profile.

For the profile to take effect, you have to restart your application server.
