Hi ,

i am trying to execute BAPI example from

http://www.sapdevelopment.co.uk/java/jco/bapi_jco.pdf

In page 30 (first half window), when i click continue button its showing some error, like

Error:
BAPI &1: The name of the function module &2 does not begin with BAPI
BAPI ZVENDFUN: The ref. structure LFA1 of parameter LIFNR does not begin with BAPI
BAPI ZVENDFUN: The ref. structure VEND of parameter ITAB does not begin with BAPI
BAPI &1: BAPI function module &2 has no return parameter

Warning Messages:
BAPI &1: The input help for field &2-&3 is not defined

and when i click Continue button on Error dialog box and its giving Info like

Method contains errors -  we advise you not to create

and when i click continue on this window also its showing page 31 and when i click Continue on page 31..

its giving error..

BAPI : Method does not define a RETURN parameter

how to solve this?

Thanks

The problem here is that the document is not telling you that the BAPI name and the parameters should always begin with BAPI_ or ZBAPI_ this is the rule when creating custom BAPIs.

You need to specify the RETURN parameter in the signature under the TABLES section, typed as BAPIRET2.

But same error..

Do i need to write Return parameter in Tables tab or Export Tab?

if in Tables Tab, is it as Optional?

in export tab i gave

BAPI_RETURN LIKE BAPIRET2

check this .

<b>BAPI name    : BAPI_CUSTOMER_AR.
Import paras : 
KUNNR    LIKE YBAPICUSTAR-KUNNR
BUDAT    LIKE YBAPICUSTAR-REF_DOC_DATE
BUDAT_TO LIKE YBAPICUSTAR-REFSY-DATUM.
Tables       :
CUSTOMER_AR	LIKE	YBAPICUSTAR
RETURN	        LIKE	BAPIRETURN.</b>

here YBAPI is structure.
