Extra space is inserted in custom field in the table using BAPI_PR_CREATE.

former_member569532 — Mon, 26 Oct 2015 08:09:46 GMT

Hi Experts,

I need to update the custom fields in PR screen using BAPI.

After updating there is extra space in front of the data of each field in eban table

ls_ext_in-valuepart1 = ls_m_value+0(67).

ls_ext_in-structure = 'BAPI_TE_MEREQITEM'.

ls_ext_in-valuepart2 = ls_m_value+67(240).

Kindly anyone advise how to avoid this space in front of the custom field.

Thanks & Regards,

Anusha.

I suppose ls_m_value is of TYPE BAPI_TE_MEREQITEM and ls_ext_in of TYPE BAPIPAREX, so try some :


ls_ext_in-structure = 'BAPI_TE_MEREQITEM'.
cl_abap_container_utilities=>fill_container_c(
  EXPORTING
    im_value               = ls_m_value
  IMPORTING
    ex_container           = ls_ext_in+30.

Question: why do you split at position 67, when VALUEPARTn fields length is 240, in pre-unicode old versions you could split by block of 240.

Good day Anu,

Looks like your position is not properly defined on ls_ext_in-valuepart2+67(240)

I believe it should have bee defined like this ls_ext_in-valuepart2+0(64).

Start from position 0 put 67 characters.

The one you defined read start from position 67 put 240 characters.

hope it helps.

Hi Raymond,

Thank your for your reply.

There are other custom fields of length 67 infront of the email field.That is reason I offset the email field from 67.

So you added 240-67 space characters in the structure, on old versions try some:


ls_ext_in-structure = 'BAPI_TE_MEREQITEM'.
ls_ext_in-valuepart1 = ls_m_value+0(240).
ls_ext_in-valuepart2 =  ls_m_value+240(240).

SAP will concatenate the valuepart to rebuild the extension structure (using same class reverse method in Unicode)

I can able to solve the problem by passing the data as below.

ls_ext_in-structure = 'BAPI_TE_MEREQITEM'.

ls_ext_in+30 = ls_m_value.
