IA05-Long text problem

Former Member — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 03:48:48 GMT

Hi ,

I have to do a data upload for IA05 transaction.

I have done the recording for BDC.

But i am facing problem in Long text upload (SAVE_TEXT), because the TEXT NAME logic requires Group number. This group number is created when the transaction is executed.

Do by any means i can get the group number at runtime because will executing the transaction i can see the group number which is created.

Else does anybody have some other way to do this. Please suggest.

Thanks & Regards

Kapil

Hi,

If you are using BDC, i would suggest that once the CALL TRANSACTION has been done successfully and it returns the 'group number' in message table BDCMSGCOLL. You can then use the FM SAVE_TEXT in your program to save the text for created 'Group number'.

Let me know if you have any question.

Regards,

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I have seen that. It returns a message in which it says that Group number X was created. But i have to hardcode in the program to read the group number.

Do we have any better solution for this?

Thanks

Hi,

And you are not hardcoding anything. If BDC is successful and you get the 'Group numer" just create a text using SAVE_TEXT FM.

Let me know if you have something else on your mind.
