Hi All,

I need to have validation on the BAPI input parameter against the SAP table.

Example:

BAPI Input Parameter:

Name ( is combination of field first name + Last Name in SAP table)

SAP table

Last name

First name

Can I know how I validate this input parameter with the SAP table fields

First name, last name. Please advise with the sample code. Thanks.

Hi,

I am not sure how much i am correct but have you tried with any select statement.

Data: l_firstname type <table name>-<field name of first name>.

select single <first name> from <table name> into l_firstname where <first name> = <Table name>-<field name>

and <last name field name> = <table name>-<last name field name>.

In the above i have shown you to validate first name and last name until both matches you can proceed further.

Cheers!!

Write a select statement as Venkat said...and put a condition saying...if sy-subrc is not equal to zero, then you want an error message to be displayed.

select * "select statement
if sy-subrc <> 0.
write: / "Invalid Name.
endif.

Hi,

First of all, thanks.

How do i split out the data from BAPI input parameter first , then proceed with validation check against the data in table field first name and last name?

Example BAPI input value:

StudentName: Jenny Lee

(Student Name is combination of First name & last name)

SAP table

First name : Jenny

Last name : Lee

Ever heard about keyword "SPLIT"??

Use:

first and last are two variables.

SPLIT studentname at ' ' into first last.

Then Select * from xxx into itab where firstname(field) = first.

Vishwa.
