Dear All,

Here i am creating BDC for the MM01 , on MRP 1 view there is field ,called FIXED LOT SIZE field name MARC-BSTFE , so i defined the same while declaring variables as BSTFE LIKE MARC-BSTFE,

but it was not working , After i changed the same to BSTFE(4) now it is working, how can i identify how to declare the same as integer?

Hi,

While developing BDC, it is always safe to declare all the fields as CHAR, bcoz u never know that the data which will be uploaded is declared with what datatype.

to find the no. of characters, u can see the data element of the screen field.

Hope this will help u.

Regards,

Aleem.

Declare always the fields into which the data is coming as Character type, and for the maximun length check the correcponding data element or field in SAP data dictionary
