Passing Internal table to event parameter

Former Member — Wed, 22 Feb 2006 13:40:10 GMT

Hi,

I have created a new event for a business object type. This event have got a multiline parameter( a internal table). I need to pass the entries of table to the event container when I raise the event using function module 'SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT'.

The table parameter 'input_container' allows me to pass the field values but not sure if I can pass the internal table as well.

Any bright ideas???

Cheers,

Surendar

Hi Surendar,

Try defining a DDIC table definition, instead of just a structure and type your event parameter as the same. When I do this in 6.40, the Multiline flag is already set for me.

There is also a trick to how the container is built and filled. Do a "Where Used" on the FM SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT and see how it is done elsewhere in the code.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Mark

Hi Mark,

Creating a multiline parameter to the event is not a issue as I am able to do it by checking the multiline checkbox flag.

I have already done a where used search for that particular function module and it hadn't helped me. I was looking for help in case if someone has already done anything similar.

Sorry forgot to mention that I am on release 4.6C.

Cheers,

Surendar

Hi Surendar,

SAP_WAPI... function modules use a simple name-value container. Just repeat your table entries:

wa_cont-name = 'EVENTPARAMETERNAME'.
loop at lt_itab into wa_itab.
  wa_cont-value = wa_itab. 
  append wa_cont to lt_cont. 
endloop.

Cheers,

Mike

Hi Mike,

Tried doing this but could not see the internal table entries in the container.

But I have found another way of doing it. I am using function module 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE' rather then using 'SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT'. I am able to pass on table data using macros 'SWC_SET_TABLE'.

The only difference here is the container type is changed and I need to perform a commit after the successful call of function module.

Does anyone have faced any problems using function module 'SWE_EVENT_CREATE'.

Cheers,

Surendar

Interesting, I would have thought it should work, might be something broken in 4.6c.

SWE_EVENT_CREATE is fine in any case, I thought about suggesting that but we're supposed to be using SAP_WAPI's as far as possible because they are supported for customer use.

Regarding commit's there are also SWE_EVENT_CREATE_FOR_UPD_TASK / ...IN_UPD_TASK FM's around if you are doing this in an update task.

Cheers

Just thought I'd post a followup as I had a spare minute to try this out. The following definitely works on a 640 system:

REPORT  ZTEST.
Data: lv_cont type swr_cont,
      lt_cont type standard table of swr_cont.

lv_cont-element = 'ZMULTI'.
lv_cont-value = 'A'. append lv_cont to lt_cont.
lv_cont-value = 'B'. append lv_cont to lt_cont.
lv_cont-value = 'C'. append lv_cont to lt_cont.

CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT'
  EXPORTING
    OBJECT_TYPE             = 'ZMPTEST'
    OBJECT_KEY              = 'Z'
    EVENT                   = 'ZTESTEVT'
 TABLES
   INPUT_CONTAINER         = lt_cont.

As expected, the event had a ZMULTI parameter with three items A,B,C.

So might be broken in 4.6c but probably not worth following up with SAP.

Cheers

Mike
