Definition

Name of a function module that can read an object catalog with a specific format.

Use

As object catalogs are normally procured from external sources, they are available in a specific format. You need an own function module to be able to convert this specific file format to the database format once the file has been imported. Enter this function module in this field.

The interface of the function module is as follows:

  • IV_APPLSERVER:

    Indicator whether the file is on the application server

  • IV_FILENAME:

    Name of the file that should be imported

  • IV_PROPCAT:

    Category of the object that should be imported

  • IV_IOBTYPE:

    Type of the object that should be imported

  • IT_FILE:

    Imported data of file IV_FILENAME in text format

  • ET_PROPMA:

    Returned manufacturers in database format

  • ET_PROPMO:

    Returned models in database format

  • ET_PROPTY:

    Returned types in database format

Dependencies

Example
