Overwrite default 'X' value in LSMW

iklovski — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 10:05:10 GMT

Hello,

I have an LSMW (batch input) for functional locations. I want in some cases to overwrtire the default 'X' value for IEQUI field. However, when I put 'blank' in my file, the program ignores it and keeps the default 'X'. Could you please asssist on this issue?

Thanks in advance,

Eli

Hi,

Try with '/' in the LSMW..

Hi,

Thanks for the reply... However, it's not that I want to skip this field, but to set it blank. Anyway, putting '/' in the value causes an error.

Please, suggest another solution.

Thanks,

Eli

Nope, same result... In the converiosn file, the values are correct, but the field is not updated with 'blank' for the rows I require, it remains 'X'.

Any ideas?

Hi,

I did not do a recording, but use a batch input program IBIP. I tried to run it in foreground, but it does not come to the screen even.

Hi,

Can u try uisng BDC method instead standard batch input....

also we can do one more thing we can avoid the field in the maintain source fields step.

I guess you might be tried all these options..

Tried it - same result. I guess, I will have to switch off the default, upload the file, and witch it back. Or, alternatively, create a separate process afterwards for change of this field only.
