Load Documentation to Data elements

Former Member — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 10:03:04 GMT

Hi,

I'm looking for a smart standard solution (BAPI?) to load documentation in DDIC to data elements.

The data which should be loaded is provided by an excel-file .

How knows a standard report or a BAPI/function module ?

Thx in advance

Peter

I think a BDC can be done on transaction SE61 with appropriate input......Unfortunately, I can't check the feasibility as I don't have authorization for the transaction as of now........

Got a FM for this.......Chcek the code below...


DATA: i_lines  TYPE TABLE OF tline,
      wa_lines TYPE tline.

* Create Documentation
wa_lines-tdformat = '*'.
wa_lines-tdline   = 'TEST'.

DO 50 TIMES.
  APPEND wa_lines TO i_lines.
ENDDO.

* Create Document
CALL FUNCTION 'DOCU_UPD'
  EXPORTING
    id       = 'DE'            "For Data Element
    langu    = sy-langu
    object   = 'YA038539TEST5' "Data Element Name
  TABLES
    line     = i_lines
  EXCEPTIONS
    ret_code = 1
    OTHERS   = 2.

IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
  WRITE 'Documentation Update Successful'.
ENDIF.

Follow the steps to do it

"1. Save excel file to a text file.
