Documentation
Definition
For the set flag, when the lines are copied, the fields are converted from the external format into the internal format. This means that:
- The data in the fields is converted according to type.
- Individual fields separated by tab indicators are transferred in their fixed length.
All the fields of each line must contain a convertible value. (for example, date fields must be in the SAP user date format).
Example: If the lines of the source file of a structure correspond to a four character field and a date field,
'AB<Tab>13.03.2000' is converted into ' AB20000313'.
