where can I do validations??

Former Member — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 08:16:55 GMT

Hi,

I have a LSMW object. In the Field Mapping step, I need to do a validation for checking whether the primary keys already esist or not. If they exist, I shud skip_record or else transfer_record. There are 3 primary keys.

Where can I do this validation??

Can I write code in the "End of Record", which has default code transfer_record??

Thanks & Regards,

Kalaivani P

You can do all your validations in END OF RECORD , write a code like

if validation fails.

skip_record.

else.

tranfer_record.

endif.

I am not sure , i think you can use skip_record to skip the record even in the field mapping part if the conditiopn fails for that fields during hte validation.

Thanks Rajesh!!

Actually when I try to double click on the End of Record ( to add some codes ), it is displaying some "decision" message as follows:

<b>This field has a default reservation

Changes could hamper the run of the

data conversion program

Are you sure that you want to

continue with this action?</b>

I am able to do modifications. But can I modify so that it wont hamper?
