Hi Quoc Luc Nguyen,

Pls provide more info:

Is the IDoc in your ECC (or R/3) system or r u trying to bring it from outside/another system to your system?

If it's in your system, r u trying to process it through the standard way or do u want to read its content?

Hi Quoc Luc Nguyen,

I still did not understand if the IDoc is now in your ECC - can find your idoc in WE05?

If not and it's in another system or on your file system then u should configure an ALE scenario (search for ALE scenario, u'll find tons of detailed info) or use tools such as lsmw.

If u found it, the idoc data is stored in 2 tables: edidc - for control data (number, status, partners/ports etc) and edid4 (as of ver. 4.0 and higher) for the actual data (its content). The best way to get the data is to use FM EDI_SEGMENTS_GET_ALL (u have 2 use EDI_DOCUMENT_OPEN_FOR_READ b4 and EDI_DOCUMENT_CLOSE_READ after) by the idoc number. The data is returned in the table IDOC_CONTAINERS which is also by the same logic as in db table EDID4: the data is concatenated in field SDATA, by the structure that is written in field SEGNAM (in your data declaration create a structure of the type of what's written in SEGNAM and then move SDATA to it).

Good luck

Pls reward points if helps
