Use ADDTEL(For Mobile number and standard number) and ADDFAX ( For Fax number ). See the SE37 documentation for FM.

Hi,

Provide the following exporting parameters.

Pass the below parameters for the BAPI.

USERNAME

ADDRESS ADDRESS-PERS_NO

ADDRESS-ADDR_NO

ADDRESS-TEL1_NUMBR

ADDRESS-FAX_NUMBER

ADDRESSX ADDRESSX-PERS_NO = 'X'

ADDRESSX-ADDR_NO = 'X'

ADDRESSX-TEL1_NUMBR = 'X'

ADDRESSX-FAX_NUMBER = 'X'.

Then Call the BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT

Thanks & Regards

Incase you User name is invalid ( BNAME ) bapi_user_change will throw an error message automatically in the RETURN table which has got structure BAPIRET2, You do not need to call a separate BAPI to validate the user name. Still you want to do it it is up to you.

To answer your second question, yes you pass the User Name to FM importing parameter USERNAME field and pass the telephone number and fax numbers in those internal table. If you are using JCO to call the RFC you have methods available to populate the internal table. To know how the BAPI works, check for the documentation and run the BAPI in SE37 in SAP system.

Hi,

Use below sample code .

   DATA : T_USERNAME LIKE BAPIBNAME-BAPIBNAME ,
               BAPIMSG    LIKE BAPIRET2 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,
               T_ADDTEL LIKE BAPIADTEL    OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
.

T_USERNAME-BAPIBNAME = 'XXXXXXXXX' .   " User Name in User Master Record

LOOP AT T_ADDTEL .
T_ADDTEL-TELEPHONE = 'xxxxxxx' . " pass ur TELEPHONE numner
APPEND: T_ADDTEL .
CLEAR : T_ADDTEL .
ENDLOOP.

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_USER_CHANGE'
EXPORTING
    USERNAME                = T_USERNAME
TABLES
*   PARAMETER               =
    RETURN                  = BAPIMSG
   ADDTEL                  =   T_ADDTEL
          .

READ TABLE BAPIMSG WITH KEY TYPE = 'E'.

IF SY-SUBRC EQ '0'.
CONCATENATE BAPIMSG-MESSAGE BAPIMSG-ID BAPIMSG-NUMBER INTO E_ERROR SEPARATED BY SPACE.

ELSE .

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'
* EXPORTING
*   WAIT          =
* IMPORTING
*   RETURN        =
      .
ENDIF.

In case of problem, read Note 1513595 - BAPI: Handling of telephone data is inconsistent.

(Also use search tool before posting to find discussion like change Phone and Mobile number using BAPI_USER_CHANGE, BAPI_USER_CHANGE mobile and telephone or BAPI_USER_CHANGE for mobile number changes. and read the Rules of Engagement.)

Hello,

I am having an issue with BAPI_USER_CHANGE. The client has the users centralized system in 250 and the program i am creating has to change any system password. So, for example, when i try to change system 700 password if i execute the FM it will throw me an error because the password change has to be done in 250, and if I do the password change in 250 it will change the password for 250, not for 700.

Do you know any other BAPI i can use or if i can set the parameters correctly in a different way to use

BAPI_USER_CHANGE. Currently if i execute bia RFC from 700 to 250 it changes 250 password and not 700.

Thanks for any inputs, regards,

Gustavo
