Definition

A DataSource can extract data in a variety of ways:

  • ' ': No data is delivered (only with version 'M').
  • 'V': The data is extracted using a transparent table or a database view.
  • 'F1': The data is extracted using a function module, which distributes the data in packages automatically. This is useful for large quantities of data.
  • 'F2': The data is extracted by means of a function module that, in contrast to 'F1', occupies a simplified interface (see documentation for data element ROFNAME_S).
  • 'D': The data is extracted using the fixed values of a domain. This is useful for very small amounts of data.
  • 'Q': The data is extracted using a functional area of the ABAP query (<4.6),or using an InfoSet of the InfoSet query (>4.6).
  • 'A': The data are extracted on an append DataSource using BTE or BADI.
