Hi,

First do the BDC recording for a transaction.Then create the internal table into se38 based on the transaction. You have to create the flat file based on the recording. Then use the function module (WS_UPLOAD) for uploading the data from flat flie to internal table. In the function module you have to mention the path for the flat file.

Hi,

Please create the flat file first. During creation of this file, you need to consider the format and the type of the file.Then create the ABAP program and declare the internal table accrodingly to accomodate the flat file data. Then use the function module to upload the flat file data into your internal table. Then use Call transaction method or Session method to upload the data.

Hope this helps.

Please reward if useful.

Thanks,

Srinivasa

Hello,

Yes, use GUI_UPLOAD rather than WS as it will be supported for longer.

Batch recording can be problematic, I do them manually (F1 & F9 on fields) as you have total control and understand exactly what's going on.
