Hi,

I am going through the work that is done by previous developer and have a question. He is trying to update some values on delivery through BDC by call transaction statement. I see before the BDC, he is using the statement "PERFORM bdcnodata USING nodata" .The perform statement contains the below code:(with data declaration in the global, DATA: nodata_character VALUE '/'.)

FORM bdc_nodata USING p_nodata.

nodata_character = p_nodata.

ENDFORM. "BDCNODATA

Can you tell me what the above statement does? I understand about the other BDC code but coud not figure out why is this needed? Please give your input.

Thanks a lot!

You're better off doing a where-used on the nodata_character variable, all the form does is set the global variable nodata_character with the value of the import parameter

Since a single line form is pretty pointless, I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't needed at all

I think its a parameter field in the transaction you r calling.

By default the value for that parameter is '/', where as if user enters any value or the text file hav any value, prog. take it.

Do the where used on 'nodata_character' nd find out how it used in the remaining prog.

If u send us the complete code, that ll be helpful.

Thank-You
