Definition

The NODATA character is used for direct input. In direct input, all data fields are transferred as character fields, irrespective of the data type of the actual target field.If the NODATA character is transferred for a field value, this shows that the field in question does not contain relevant data and it therefore does not have to be considered for the change via direct input. This enables you to differentiate between the field value 'space' and the meaning 'No Data'.

You can select the NODATA character as required and as standard, it is '/'. You can use function module BUS_DI_DATA_INITIALIZE to initialize input structures. The function module enters the NODATA character in the structures transferred.

After the initialization, you can fill the actual relevant fields with values (also 'space').
