Batch input for ME11

Former Member — Wed, 07 Dec 2005 07:24:48 GMT

Hi all,

I want to copy an existing plant-specific inforecord from plant A to plant B using call transaction method.

But an error occurs when I fill in the plant A's planned delivery time to that of plant B,

Error:

EINE-APLFZ input value is longer than screen field.

I just retrieve plant A's data into internal table (ITAB-APLFZ) and fill it for batch input, what's wrong / meaning for the above error?

Thanks

Hi Macy,

There is no problem in copying data inside ur internal table but c to that u give the appropriate size of the field that u have declared inside ur program.

EINE-APLFZ may exceeed the size.

Hope this helps u,

Hi,

I don't quite understand. which field size should I consider? How to check ?

the internal table ITAB just has APLFZ like EINE-APLFZ.

Thanks.

Hi. Macy.

EINE-APLFZ is DEC field.

Maybe, I think you defined ITAB-APLFZ field with DEC.

But, screen field is character format.

so, you must converted APLFZ field value to character.

ex:

data : w_aaa(3) type n.

move ITAB-APLFZ to w_aaa.

move w_aaa TO bdcdata-fval.

Good Luck..

Hi Macy!

With batch input you convert normally your fields with 'write' before appending your batch tables. Then you can get a space (for a not needed sign) at the end -> number output format is longer than 3. Try to use a shift left and itab-aplzf(3) or something similar.

Or just run once in display mode, than you should easily discover conversion problems.
