JEST table contains object status that is either system status or a user status. Field STAT corresponds to the Object Status. Field INACT identifies whether the status is currently active or inactive and field CHGNR is the change number that identifies the change documents for an object and is incremented serially.

TJ02 table contains the list of system status and description. All statuses in this table are internal. This means they are consistent across objects and clients. A single object can have multiple active system statuses and user statuses & inactive ones.

TJ30 table contains the list of user status and TJ30T contains their description.

You could use function module STATUS_READ read active object status and STATUS_OBJECT_READ to retrieve the status profile of an object number.

SAP: Dynamic Sapgui Progress Indicator

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.

I could show you here the complete list of icons with its corresponding code but I rather show you a couple line of codes that will provide you the list of icons. So please refer to the code #1.

CODE #1

TABLES: icon.
DATA: icontext(4) TYPE c.
SELECT * FROM icon.
  WRITE: / icon-id+1(2).
  CONCATENATE '@' icon-id+1(2) '@' INTO icontext.
  WRITE: 10 icontext AS ICON, icon-name.
ENDSELECT.

Create a blank program on transaction SE38 and add the code above. Just activate it and execute. You now have your own list of icons for your reference whenever you need it.
