hi,

When you generate the BDC (Batch Data Communication options define the processing mode for a batch input session) program with SHDB, you can remove a lot of unwanted fields by copying this customize abap include program. It allows you to execute the BDC program immediately without filling up those SAP generate fields. To run background, just run it as a background job. 


* Execute BDC immediately by replacing the include BDCRECX1 
* 
* 
***INCLUDE ZBDCRECX1. 
*  When you generate the program using SHDB, you can replace it 
*  with this if you want to execute it immediately without having 
*  to process it using SM35. 
* 
*  During testing you can used the original include. 
* 
*  For example, 
*  include zbdcrecx1.   "After test 
*  include bdcrecx.     "Before test

Recording will give you a simple way to find the screen numbers, programs and fields to update your data. Even you can write a BDC program with out using recording also.

But, you have to find the screen numbers and program names and field name mannually.

So, better to use recording before creating any BDC program.

hi,

The data from internal table is not transferred directly to database table, it has to go through transaction. You need to pass data to particular screen and to particular screen-field. Data is passed to transaction in particular format, hence there is a need for batch input structure.

The batch input structure stores the data that is to be entered into SAP system and the actions that are necessary to process the data. The batch input structure is used by all of the batch input methods. This structure is BDCDATA, which can contain the batch input data for only a single run of a transaction.

Within a BDCDATA structure, organize the data of screens in a transaction. Each screen that is processed in the course of a transaction must be identified with a BDCDATA record. This record uses the Program, Dynpro, and Dynbegin fields of the structure.

The BDCDATA structure contains the following fields:

• PROGRAM: Name of module pool program associated with the screen. Set this field only for the first record for the screen.

• DYNPRO: Screen Number. Set this field only in the first record for the screen.

• DYNBEGIN: Indicates the first record for the screen. Set this field to X, only for the first record for the screen. (Reset to ‘ ‘ (blank) for all other records.)

• FNAM: Field Name. The FNAM field is not case-sensitive.

• FVAL: Value for the field named in FNAM. The FVAL field is case-sensitive. Values assigned to this field are always padded on the right, if they are less than 132 characters. Values must be in character format.

*Hence, all this data is captured when you do the recording of the transaction in SHDB, else you get the details required by this BDCDATA structure in the following way:*

• Start the transaction by menu or by entering the transaction code in the command box.

(You can determine the transaction name by choosing System – Status.)

• Step through the transaction, entering the data will be required for processing your batch input data.

• On each screen, note the program name and screen (dynpro) number.

(dynpro = dyn + pro. Dyn = screen, pro = number)

• Display these by choosing System – Status. The relevant fields are Program (dynpro) and Dynpro number. If pop-up windows occur during execution, you can get the program name and screen number by pressing F1 on any field or button on the screen.

The technical info pop-up shows not only the field information but also the program and screen.

• For each field, check box, and radio button on each screen, press F1 (help) and then choose Technical Info.

Note the following information:

  • The field name for batch input, which you’ll find in its own box.

  • The length and data type of the field. You can display this information by double clicking on the Data Element field.

• Find out the identification code for each function (button or menu) that you must execute to process the batch-input data (or to go to new screen).

Place the cursor on the button or menu entry while holding down the left mouse button. Then press F1.

In the pop-up window that follows, choose Technical info and note the code that is shown in the Function field.

You can also run any function that is assigned to a function key by way of the function key number. To display the list of available function keys, click on the right mouse button. Note the key number that is assigned to the functions you want to run.

Once you have program name, screen number, field name (screen field name), you can start writing the data transfer program.

So recording only makes the job less cumbersome. You can refrain from doing so too.

Hope that answered your query. Do reward points if it did.

Cheers,

I find it easier to do it manually. You just have to execute the transaction and keep track of the technical names of the field that you use, the screens that you go through and the buttons that you press.
