cursor position in bdc

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

I am trying to create task list components in IA05.

Since there are variable components , I have to do 'create new' for every new component. This requires position of cursor to move down the table of components.

How do I achieve this?

I was trying with :

perform bdc_dynpro using 'SAPLCPDI' '3400'.

perform bdc_field using 'BDC_CURSOR'

'PLPOD-VORNR( counter )'.

where counter is type p with 2 length.

Do I need to convert this counter to some type ?

Pls help.

Hi Shweta,

Could you try to set 'counter' to type N with length 2?

Hi!

Do not waste your time with BDC_CURSOR. This command is doing nothing, but placing the cursor. But the next BDC_FIELD will move the cursor also and write the data into the field. Personally I'm removing all BDC_CURSOR commands, because they are useless.

To find out the position is requires a BDC recording (in SM35 transation). You have to fill at least 3 lines in the table, and you'll know how can you address different lines. It is mostly using the field[1], field[2], ... syntax.

In BDC recording, you have to find an exact positioning way. In most common there is a Position button somewhere in the field. Or you can try the PAGEDOWN, and CTRL+PAGEDOWN buttons to position down with one page, or to the last record.

Thank you...your hint helped me find a way of writing at the first row itself..rather than browse down...
