Hi,

From your example codes, the 'X' indicator is used to indicate/select which field that you want to change or delete.

Ferry,

I will be clear with my question.

What does 'X' indicator do when the BAPI is of any of the UPDATEFLAGS: U = change, D = delete, I = add.

for example if the BAPi update flag is set to "D". Does the 'X' indicator will be delete the matching record from the BAPI record?

Thanks
