1.what is the use of "call fm update task" ? please give me a example senario in which we use it?

2. what is the use of "starting new task"? please give me a example senario in which we use it?

3. In BAPI why does we pass 'X' indicator? How does the 'X' indicator effect database table when BAPI is of any of the modes U = change

D = delete, I = add

Hi,

From your example codes, the 'X' indicator is used to indicate/select which field that you want to change or delete.

Ferry,

I will be clear with my question.

What does 'X' indicator do when the BAPI is of any of the UPDATEFLAGS: U = change, D = delete, I = add.

for example if the BAPi update flag is set to "D". Does the 'X' indicator will be delete the matching record from the BAPI record?

Thanks
