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?

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.

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
