IDoc error #26 - mandatory segment missing

[Former Member]

Hi

Related to an outbound IDoc for data communication, I have followed the steps:

1. Created Segment, ZTEST_SEG in WE31

2. Created a Basic IDoc Type, ZTEST_IDOC in WE30. Attached segment ZTEST_SEG as mandatory.

3. Created a Message Type, ZTEST_MTYPE in WE81

4. Attached ZTEST_MTYPE to ZTEST_IDOC in WE82

The IDoc is generated by an ABAP program as follows:

From Internal table it_data, I want to pass records to the IDoc. See the coding below:

data : s_ctrlrec like edidc, "IDoc control record

seg_payinfo like ZTEST_SEG. u201CSegment

data : t_edidd like edidd occurs 0 with header line, "data records

t_comm_idoc like edidc occurs 0 with header line. "generated communication idoc

constants : c_seg_payinfo like edidd-segnam value 'seg_payinfo'.

constants : c_idoctp like edidc-idoctp value 'ZTEST_IDOC '.

-

---

it_data is populated with records here

-

---

Loop at it_data.

seg_payinfo-field1 = it_data-field1.

seg_payinfo-field2 = it_data-field2.

t_edidd-segnam = c_seg_payinfo.

t_edidd-sdata = seg_payinfo.

append t_edidd.

clear t_edidd.

Endloop.

When I run the program, in WE02, I can see IDoc is generated with errors:

26 EDI: Syntax error in IDoc (mandatory segment missing)

And, NONE of the Segment has any data.

Any suggestions please to fix this issueu2026.

Cheers

Hello

Forgetting about your dreadful naming conventions for a moment the problem is appears to be here:

"constants : c_seg_payinfo like edidd-segnam value 'seg_payinfo'.
constants :c_seg_payinfo like edidd-segnam value 'SEG_PAYINFO'.

Did you maintained the partner profile. Also did you specify the control records while creating idocs.

Thanks
