BDC_OPEN_GROUP....group invalid

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a BDC code which calls transaction FB01/F-28.

When the program is executed, I get pop-ups for BDC_OKCODE where i have to manually press enter. There is one option on Selection screen to disable this popups (for creating background jobs).

When this popup is enabled, I am able to post documents calling mentioned transaction i.e. BDC is executed successfully. But whenever the option for disabling the popups is selected....I get an err

BDC_OPEN_GROUP....group invalid

Can someone explain the reason for this error.

Hi,

I think you have not populated the group name. Import parameter "GROUP" in the function module BDC_OPEN_GROUP. Is a valid group name specified ?

Yes the variable(w_session) for group is blank. What should be its value?

  CALL FUNCTION 'BDC_OPEN_GROUP'
    EXPORTING
      client = sy-mandt
      group  = w_session
      user   = w_uname      
      keep   = c_space.

Hi,

You can create a selection screen field and make it mandatory for the user to enter the group name and pass the value to the function module.

After running the program a entry with this name will be created in SM35
