Characteristic Value Change BAPI_CHARACT_CHANGE

[Former Member]

Hi,

Has any one used the bapi BAPI_CHARACT_CHANGE?

I am trying to use this BAPI to insert characteristic values and desccriptions? After passing the parameters, the return parameter gives me correct messages that The characteristic has been changed. But there are no changes in the Database.

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_CHARACT_CHANGE'

EXPORTING

charactname = 'AMTER'

• CHANGENUMBER =

keydate = sy-datum

TABLES

charactdetailnew = w1

• charactdescrnew = charactdescrnew

• charactvaluesnumnew = charactvaluesnumnew

• charactvaluescharnew = charactvaluescharnew

charactvaluesdescrnew = charactvaluesdescr

• charactrestrictions = charactrestrictions

return = return.

Thanks,

Manish,

You will need to issue a COMMIT. This can be achieved by creating a test sequence in SE37.

Hi Brad,

Thanks for the reply. I am using the

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'

EXPORTING

wait = 'X'

• IMPORTING

• RETURN =

after calling my BAPI for change. ´But still its not working. I dont get anything in the return parameter of BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT.

Hi Manish,

If you are calling these BAPIs via SE37, you will need to create a <b>TEST SEQUENCE</b> (menu Function Module->Test->Test Sequences). This means that you call both BAPI's in the same Logical Unit of Work. Calling them one after the other in SE37 will not work.

Alternatively you could code the calls one after the other in a test ABAP.

Personally, I think the test sequence is easier.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Brad
