Definition

Function module that can be used to execute a task in the Data Transfer Workbench.

The function module should have the following interface:
Import parameters
PROJECT LIKE DXFIELDS-PROJECT
SUBPROJ LIKE DXFIELDS-SUBPROJECT
RUNDEF LIKE DXFIELDS-RUNDEF
TASK LIKE DXFIELDS-TASK
RUNID LIKE DXFIELDS-RUNID

Table parameters (import)
FILESIN LIKE DXFILEN,
FILESOUT LIKE DXFILEN

Export parameter
RETURN LIKE DXRETURN

If this function module starts a task when the data transfer is run, the above import and table parameters are filled with values.

The status of the task is transferred in the export parameter RETURN. For this reason the field STATUS must be filled with one of the following values:

  • 1: Task completed without errors. The next task is started.
  • 2: Task completed with errors. The run stops. Once the error has been removed, the task is executed again when the run is continued.
  • 3: Task completed with errors. No restart and run stops. Once the error has been removed, the next task is executed when the run is continued.

Using fields MSGTY, MSGID, MSGNO, MSGV1, MSGV2, MSGV3, MSGV4, you can return an appropriate message that is stored in the log. If your function module itself stores messages in the application log, you can return this message ID in the field LOG_HANDLE.
