IA05-Long text problem

[Former Member]

Hi ,

I have to do a data upload for IA05 transaction.

I have done the recording for BDC.

But i am facing problem in Long text upload (SAVE_TEXT), because the TEXT NAME logic requires Group number. This group number is created when the transaction is executed.

Do by any means i can get the group number at runtime because will executing the transaction i can see the group number which is created.

Else does anybody have some other way to do this. Please suggest.

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

If you are using BDC, i would suggest that once the CALL TRANSACTION has been done successfully and it returns the 'group number' in message table BDCMSGCOLL. You can then use the FM SAVE_TEXT in your program to save the text for created 'Group number'.

Let me know if you have any question.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I have seen that. It returns a message in which it says that Group number X was created. But i have to hardcode in the program to read the group number.

Do we have any better solution for this?

Thanks

Hi,

<b>This is the only way you can do this.</b>

And you are not hardcoding anything. If BDC is successful and you get the 'Group numer" just create a text using SAVE_TEXT FM.

Let me know if you have something else on your mind.
