BAPI_CONTRACT_CREATE with extensionin

Former Member — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 10:09:51 GMT

Hi all

My problem is the following:

I call the bapi BAPI_CONTRACT_CHANGE with some extensions (zfields) in the table EKKO. One of those Zfields is an amount.

*/  Extension
  ls_extensionin-structure             = 'BAPI_TE_MEOUTHEADER'.
  ls_bapi_te_meoutheader-zcontratcadre = ls_party-internal_id-content.
  ls_bapi_te_meoutheader-zlotnr        = ls_party-receiving_site-internal_id-content.
  ls_bapi_te_meoutheader-number        = ls_pur_contr-id-content.
  ls_bapi_te_meoutheader-zamount       = ls_pur_contr-open_target_amount-content.

*/ TCH - Start
  CALL METHOD cl_abap_container_utilities=>fill_container_c
    EXPORTING
      im_value               = ls_bapi_te_meoutheader
    IMPORTING
      ex_container           = lv_container
    EXCEPTIONS
      illegal_parameter_type = 1
      OTHERS                 = 2.
  ls_extensionin+30 = lv_container.
  APPEND ls_extensionin  TO lt_extensionin.

but when I check in debugger the value of the amount, I get this: ##倀ఀ

The reason why I use this method, is to convert the structure into a string, so I can fill my extension.

Does anyone have an idea how to convert this amount into the valueparts of the extension?

Best regards

I have problems filling the extensionin with in the valuepart an amount. If I convert this into a string of 960 characters, the amount is not converted or wrongly converted so passing this will dump later in the BADI.

Provide update below, even this is a very old post but I can see many people asking for similar questions.

The trick is, shift the lv_container by 30 char, which is the length of the structure. Same trick for reading the extension using cl_abap_container_utilities=>read_container_c

*/  Extension
  ls_extensionin-structure             = 'BAPI_TE_MEOUTHEADER'.
  ls_bapi_te_meoutheader-zcontratcadre = ls_party-internal_id-content.
  ls_bapi_te_meoutheader-zlotnr        = ls_party-receiving_site-internal_id-content.
  ls_bapi_te_meoutheader-number        = ls_pur_contr-id-content.
  ls_bapi_te_meoutheader-zamount       = ls_pur_contr-open_target_amount-content.

*/ TCH - Start
  CALL METHOD cl_abap_container_utilities=>fill_container_c
    EXPORTING
      im_value               = ls_bapi_te_meoutheader
    IMPORTING
      ex_container           = lv_container+30
    EXCEPTIONS
      illegal_parameter_type = 1
      OTHERS                 = 2.
  ls_extensionin+30 = lv_container.
  APPEND ls_extensionin  TO lt_extensionin.

Hi Kristof,

Please can you list how you defined your data types lv_container and ls_extensionin?

I have a similar problem with a different BAPI.

Thanks

Joe

Hi @Kevin,

How do you know that the lv_container is 30 characters in length?

Hi oppenheim.jm ,

The variable lv_container is type of BAPIPAREX.

DATA: lv_container          TYPE  BAPIPAREX.

The first 30 characters is for the field STRUCTURE. So we're filling our data after 30-char.
