LSMW user-defined routine error

Former Member — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 11:50:58 GMT

Hi,

I have a problem with the routines in the LSMW. This is want I am doing:

1. created a project & subproject.

2. copied 4-5 objects from another project

3. copied all the user routines.

4. ran the objects fine.

After a few days I have copied a new object from the old project and used one of the routines. It gives out the message "HANDLE is not defined under DATA". As I know, this is an lsmw global variable so it should work. This variable can be found in one of the routines. I deleted all the routines and copied them again and it work.

Today I needed a new object, copied it, and it gives again this error; recopied the subroutines...still, error persist.

Please help,

Thank you very much in advanced

LE: Is there any way to adapt your conversion program, after you made modifications to the field mapping?

In Extras->User Menu you can choose to display the Display/Generate Import/Conversion Program options.

If you're struggling to work out the error, it's often a nice trick to display the conversion program and perfom a syntax check on it

Hello Chris,

I have already done that and I still get this error, but only for this object. I have never declared this data "handle", but here is how 2 conversion programs look like (same project/subproject):

The program that works:

...

Counters

data:

g_cnt_UPLOAD type i.

Counter ct_xxxxxxxxxx: number of transferred records

data:

ct_IBIPEQUI type i,

cs_IBIPEQUI type i.

Global data definitions and data declarations
__GLOBAL_DATA__

DATA: objnr LIKE equi-objnr.

DATA: handle TYPE balloghndl.

INCLUDE zpmxi_appl_log.

DATA: BEGIN OF wa_tplnr OCCURS 0 ,

tplnr(50),

END OF wa_tplnr.

parameters:

p_filept no-display,

p_trfcpt no-display,

p_packge(5) type n no-display.

Select-option for wildcard value in file names

......

And the program that doesn't work:

.....

Counter ct_xxxxxxxxxx: number of transferred records

data:

ct_BIKSSK type i,

cs_BIKSSK type i,

ct_BIAUSP type i,

cs_BIAUSP type i.

parameters:

p_filept no-display,

p_trfcpt no-display,

p_packge(5) type n no-display.

Select-option for wildcard value in file names

......

How do you explain this?

The answer is that this variables are indeed custom, and not global. They have to be assigned in step 5 (Mantain field mapping and conversion rules).

In order to see them, go to EXTRAS->Layout and mark "Global Data Definition"
