BDC_CURSOR

[Former Member]

BDC_CURSOR (cursor position)is recoreded by SHDB.

But it is not mandatory to append the BDC_CURSOR into the internal table IT_BDCDATA, because it is nothing but the cursor position.

bUt so many times i hv seen in real time coding That it is appended in IT_BDCDATA.

why so?

if some error in codeing may be a typo that will effect field data.. so its a good practice to have the cursor also into the bdcdata

ex: vbak-vbeln and vbak-vbelv

Hi,

Yes BDC_CURSOR is not mandatory to append in the BDCDATA structure . But generally everyone tries to add all the steps which were recorded in the SHDB.

BDC_CURSOR tells about the cursor position on the screen..i think which is not necessary while updating data through BDC. Even if you ignore that doesn't effect your functionality.
