2 things

former_member189629 — Thu, 28 Sep 2006 12:07:23 GMT

Hi Wizards,

I have 2 things to clarify:

1) can an internal table have 2 include structures (for header and item) and can the fields be directly accessed for population

ex: begin of it1 occurs xx,

include structure 1,

include structure 2,

end of it1.

now can the fields be directly populated by saying:

it1-field1 = xxx

it1-field2 = yyy

it1-field3 = zzz

2) can 2 bdcs be performed from 1 program? now these are not normal bdcs from a flat file or so. these must fill transaction data from an internal table within the program. if yes, how?

helpful answers will be gratefully rewarded

yes u can do like that

chk this code

REPORT YCHATEST.

TABLES : MARA , MAKT.

DATA :BEGIN  OF IT1 OCCURS 0.
        INCLUDE STRUCTURE MARA.
        INCLUDE STRUCTURE MAKT AS NAME1 RENAMING WITH SUFFIX NAME2.
DATA:END OF IT1.


loop at it1.
    write : it1-matnr , IT1-NAME1-MAKTX.
endloop.

Hi karthik,

1. can an internal table have 2 include structures (for header and item) and can the fields be directly accessed for population

Yes, u are absolutely right.

can 2 bdcs be performed from 1 program? now these are not normal bdcs from a flat file or so. these must fill transaction data from an internal table within the program. if yes, how?

If we are using CALL TRANSACTION concept,

then we need to call it twice,

for 2 different tcodes. thats all..

(whatever we do one transction/tcode,

the same has to be done for the other)

amit m.

If the data has to be taken from internal tables then yes 2 bdcs can be performed in one program.

yes you can have 2 include structures.

Yes u can have to structure inside the internal table. But check there is no common fields in both the structure.

Yes u can directly populate like this

it1-field1 = 'xxx'.

it1-field2 = 'yyy'.

it1-field3 = 'zzz'.

Or another option, u can declare a workarea of type itab. then

wa_it1-field1 = 'xxx'.

wa_it1-field2 = 'yyy'.

wa_it1-field3 = 'zzz'.

append wa_it1 to it1. clear wa_it1.

Two BDC can be performed from a single program.

For getting the data from FLAT file use the FM GUI_UPLOAD.

Then loop at that internal table and do the BDC.

Prakash.

1) the 2 structures ay have same fields as they are header and ite and they may have some common fields that relate them

2) 2 BDCs from 1 pgm: I am not uploading from a flat file but from an internal table...

when there are some common fields better idea is to create a structure in your report which will be union of the two structures and then use that for ur internal table.

when you are using data from internal table then it is possible to use two BDCs in single program.

Hi,

1) you can define two includes inside

internal table and access

DATA: BEGIN OF BDC_TAB OCCURS 10.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE BDCDATA.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE BDCMSGCOLL.

DATA: END OF BDC_TAB.

populate fields using

bdc_tab-program = 'test'.

append bdc_tab.

2) yes you can perform 2BDC from same program

but you have to refresh bdcdata for each record

popultae bdc data for mm03

call transaction mm02 using bdcdata messages into

messtab mode 'A'.

refresh bdcdata

populate bdcdata for va01

refresh bdcdata

call transaction va01 using bdcdata messages into

messtab mode 'A'.

Hi again,

1. the 2 structures ay have same fields as they are header and ite and they may have some common fields that relate them

In this case,

it will give syntax error,

bcos the field names in internal table will get duplicated.

2. in such cases, we can do like this.

DATA : BEGIN OF ITAB,

EKKO AS EKKO,

EKPO AS EKPO,

END OF ITAB.

Then we can access using

ITAB-EKKO-EBELN

ITAB-EKPO-EBELN

u r rite amit. it is showing an error. the scenario is: i need to populate a structure and pass it to a class method. that structure(1) contains 2 structures(a&b) for hrader & item. the method accepts only the main structure(1) and not a&b. can u suggest something...
