ERROR IN BAPI

[Former Member]

hi all

i m doing BAPI for test purpose(MATERIAL MASTER). this is my first BAPI program.

first i have Defined Structure For The BAPI.

then i Wrote Function Module (remote enabled) and released .

now i m creating the API Method Using The BAPI WIZARD.

i went SW01 and gave the bapi name.

now when i put the function module name it is giving ERROR.

BAPI ZBAPIFUN the refr structure LHA1 of parameter LIFNR does not begin with BAPI.

BAPI &1: function module &2 has no return parameter.

how to give return parameter in function module??

Hi

Use the stru name also starting with ZBAPI and fms names also starting with zbapi_urname.

In FMS, all parameters are Pass by value mode not in reference mode.

If these helpful rewards points.

Hi Anuj,

You should ad a RETURN parameter (for return messages) in tables tab of BAPI. Type for this return table can be BAPIRET2.

Reward points if helps

hey while doing first while defining structures in SE11 create them by ZBAPI intial name

and very important to save every object in a package (not in local object)

for return parameters u can use

BAPIRETURN

BAPIRET1

BAPIRET2.

reward points if helpful

select

ATTRIBUTES tab : in it select REMOTE ENABLED MODULE
