Batch Input in RF programming

Hi,

I have a couple of questions on RF programming....

1. Batch Input

I was always under the impression that we should NOT use BDC in RF screens but, while searching SDN, I saw Rich Heilmann mention that he does it ([SDN Thread|]). Most regular SDN people will know that Rich knows a thing or two about RF so could anyone confirm if it is OK or not to use BDC in RF?

2. Is it okay to use 'Call Function .... in Update Task' in RF?

Thanks.

Just a quick answer - I don't know if it will help.

We've used a combination of BDCs and call functions. We have not used in update task. We would like to get real time data quickly. I can't see any reason why it would be a problem. Unless you have transactions that depend on that data and it hasn't been updated.
