Convert structure into another thanks to data type

[Former Member]

Hi,

I used a function which return a structure of BAPI2045D_IL0 type. In the next function, I need the first structure but it must be of QALS_IMP type!

These structure haven't same field name but have the same data type!

How do this the move instruction??

The barbarian solution would be Move the first structure in second for each filed. But these structure have more that 100 fields!!

Thanks.

First look at the function modules of the BAPI Function Group, there may already exist a Function module that maps the data (Name should like MAP_BAPI_<struc>_2_<struc>)

If there is no one, you may generate it yourself, in SAP standard menu

/ Tools / Business Framework / BAPI Development / Generate Function Module to Map Fields, or enter the transaction code [BDBS|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/advancedsearch?query=bdbs&cat=sdn_all]. (Look at [Converting Between Int. and Ext. Data Formats and Structures|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a5/3ec9594ac011d1894e0000e829fbbd/frameset.htm] in [BAPI Programming Guide Reference (CA-BFA)|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a5/3ec8074ac011d1894e0000e829fbbd/frameset.htm])

PS: There is a Map FM MAP2E_QALS_TO_BAPI2045D_IL0 which may help you if there are many not-automatically identified couples of internal/external fields.

I give an example.

I have a structure (BAPI2045D_IL0) with field :

INSPLOT        TYPE   QPLOS
PLANT           TYPE   WERKS_D
INSP_TYPE    TYPE  QPART

I must do a move into an another structure (QALS_IMP)

PRUEFLOS    TYPE QPLOS
WERK           TYPE  WERKS_D

They haven't same name but have a same data type.

Nota bene : the structure contains lot of field...

As suggested by Raymond the mapping module should work for you. I tried generating one and it does it based on the field types.
