Hii Experts,

I am using abap trail version so i can't access the material master or vendor master table.so can anyone give me an example of a bdc program which doesn't include material or vendor master.

i don't have any idea about bdc so i want the example in details.can anybody help me with this??

regards

abhinab.

Ab,

BDC is a script to process data. When you create BDC process (thru SM35==> Recording) you basically walk thru the process of performing what ever transaction want.

After you do this, you save the recording. You are then able to create a program based on that recording and "plug in" code from this generated program that will specifially perform the parts you want with the values you want.

This is an example of a BDC generated program.

*       which describes the field.
*       If you don't have a data element use the
*       comment without a data element name
*   3.) The second line shows the fieldname of the

*       a fieldname and optional the character '_' and
*       three numbers and the field length in brackets
*   4.) Each field must be type C.

Hi,

I can't as such explain complete BDC but I can give you an idea where, when and how it's used.

BDC is used to upload data. Other concepts in ABAP along with BDC that are used to upload data are LSMW, BAPI etc.

When talking about BDC we have 2 approaches.

1. Call transaction

2. Session method.

For the differences between these you have to search this forum to have a very clear idea. Each method has it's own advantages and error handling as well.

For what ever the transaction say vendor master, material or customer......you have to goto that transaction and do recording.

Recording is done using SHDB or SM35 tcodes.

You have to populate the BDCDATA in your program with screen no, screen name, field name, field value, program name.

They are DYNPRO, DYNBEGIN, FNAM, FVAL, PROGRAM.

I an not sure what else to write.......

If you have more questions please get back.

hope it helps.

thanks.

the transaction migo doesn't exists for me..

Re: BDC HELP

Former Member — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 16:09:26 GMT

Abhinab,

You can create your own .. my code was meerly an example of the results.

To create your own

SM35

Push the Recording button

Push the New Recording button

give some name (AbhTEST)

give the Trancode you want to record

move thru the transaction and complete all the data you need

SAVE or whatever the transaction you used uses to finsih

You will be shown a BDC Script.

Hit the SAVE button at the top

then the GREEN Arrow button

You will be given a list of recordings that have been made.

Select your recording and hit the PROGRAM Button.

Give a name for the program (it should be started with a Y for local code not to be transported)

hit the Transfer from Recording radion button

and then the Green Check

Fill in the Required fields here and push the Source Code button

then the Local Object button

You are then presented with the source code. This code will compile and run as is.

However, this code is very raw and will need to be modified to be placed into your code that you would this action from.
