Create ZBAPI structure for structure (parameter and table) and another structure for single parameter definition.</P><P></P><P>Check [Actions in the ABAP Dictionary |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_NW70EHP1core/helpdata/en/43/b46c3953c111d395fa00a0c94260a5/frameset.htm] in [BAPI Programming Guide (CA-BFA)|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_NW70EHP1core/helpdata/en/e0/9eb2370f9cbe68e10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm] </P><P></P><P>Look at SAP standard BAPI to get a better idea.</P><PRE><CODE>*" IMPORTING *" VALUE(PARAMETER1) LIKE ZBAPISTRUCTURE1-FIELD1 *" VALUE(STRUCTURE1) LIKE ZBAPISTRUCTURE2</CODE></PRE><P>Raymond</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 06 Jan 2011 14:46:28 GMT https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/bapi-error/m-p/7557414#M1564034 RaymondGiuseppi 2011-01-06T14:46:28Z
