RFBIBL00 - Batch Input

Former Member — Wed, 07 Mar 2007 08:00:16 GMT

Hello Everyone,

I am in the process of writing a RFBIBL00 batch input process. Everything seems

fine in the fact that the correct structure is being written to the text file

i.e. BGR00, BBKPF, BBSEG.

However, when I run the batch session via SM35 I keep getting the following

information message:

<b>Session 1: Special character for 'empty field' is /</b>

What exactly does this mean ?? Is there a way of stopping these information

messages appearing???

Thanks

Andy

Hi,

When you are using DIRECT INPUT METHOD of BDC Upload,

you have to pass '/' for the fields where there is no data( for empty fields).

You should not leave as SPACE.So you are getting that error.

I don't understand.

At the start of the code I am moving '/' to every field within BBKPF and BBSEG.

I then move the data to the appropiate fields and write the records. When I look

at the text file all the fields with no data in them contain '/'.

Is there something I am missing ????
