BAPI Query

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

I am in a typical situation in my interface where in the First scenario I create record using BAPI but for the second time the interface runs for updating the records.

so my interface will contain # symbol where data do not need to change for the existing record.

<b>So, my question is if I pass blank structure in BAPI where data do not need to change, Will the BAPI update my existing data with Blanks or Not?</b>

If someone had come across a similar situation, his experience in this would really helpful for me. kindly reply...Will give u reward point definitely if the solution is correct.

thanks,

pradeep

A lot of time when you have BAPI to make update, you will find two times the structures or the tables names. A first time for the value a second time, the same with an X at the end, with only 1 char value (not for the key).

Example:

IT_TOTO & IT_TOTOX

in IT_TOTOX, you will set an X in the field you would like to update.

So IT_TOTOX-FIELD1 = X and IT_TOTO-FIELD1 = "" will set a blank in the table.

hi,

I know that generally we have another structure where in we pass changed values.

But for the BAPI which i am using does not have this structure so I need to check in my program itself.

So I reiterate my question, If I pass blank structure in the BAPI will it update with BLANK values for the existing values.
