empty includes in certain structures

Former Member — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 06:53:06 GMT

Hi,

I have a question concerning some structures which appear to have one include, embracing a set of empty includes. EG.

- There is structure like bkna1 or bknb1

- each one contains an include SI_AND_CI_BKNA1 or SI_AND_CI_BKNB1

- each of these includes contains a set of empty include such as CI_BKNA1, which are not in the namespace for customer development

What are these empty includes for? The problem is that we want to generate input files for batrch inputs, which have to match the structure vof bkna1 or bknb1. Due to the empty includes the files are not accepted and we do not know how to design these input files so they will go through. Even more difficult is the fact that the includes SI_AND_CI_BKNA in the structe contain allways different sets empty includes obviously depending on the version of SAP. Do we have to provide a different format for each SAP Version now?

Thanks in advance for your help and feedback

Torsten,

you must decleare internal table like:

data:itab type table of BKNA1 with header line.

and pass the file data in that internal table's all field and ignore all include.

Thanks for your feedback. Well the problem is taht we provide a text-file which we create outside of SAP and a Report like RFBIBL00 takes the textfile and starts a batch input. So I do not have a chance to ionfluence the handling of the text-file.

Any idea what we could do to provide a single text file format which does not cause errors because of the empty includes???

Thanks a lot for your help
