Hi Gurus

I am using the extension parameters of BAPI to load some customized fields for the object-BUILDING in REAL ESTATE MODULE using LSMW-BAPI.

Here's the code-

*Target Field: E1BPPAREX-VALUEPART1 Data part of BAPI extension paramet

DATA:

lt_extension_in TYPE TABLE OF bapiparex,

ls_extension_in TYPE bapiparex,

ls_ci_data TYPE rebd_building_ci.

ls_ci_data-zgisx = hsouthernwater-zgisx.

ls_ci_data-zgisy = hsouthernwater-zgisy.

ls_ci_data-zdeed = hsouthernwater-zdeed.

ls_ci_data-zland = hsouthernwater-zland.

ls_ci_data-zsite = hsouthernwater-zsite.

ls_extension_in-structure = 'CI_DATA'.

ls_extension_in-valuepart1 = ls_ci_data.

CALL METHOD cl_abap_container_utilities=>fill_container_c

EXPORTING

im_value = ls_ci_data

IMPORTING

ex_container = ls_extension_in-valuepart1

EXCEPTIONS

OTHERS = 0.

e1bpparex-valuepart1 = ls_extension_in-valuepart1.

I AM GETTING THE ERROR IN THE LINE-

ls_extension_in-valuepart1 = ls_ci_data.

SAYING THAT

ls_extension_in-valuepart1 and ls_ci_data. are mutually not convertible

I have written the same code for 3 objects in RE-The code was working fine in those objects.But in object- building i am getting this error..

Anyone out there please help me regarding this..

Thanks in advance

HI pushparaj,

Extension parameters

You can create extension parameters to enable customers to enhance the functionality of BAPIs without making modifications. For information about extension parameters see Customer Enhancement Concept for BAPIs.

This customer exit is only required when the BAPI has an ExtensionIn parameter. ...
