Definition

A DataSource must provide this function module if it uses a field to determine the delta generically, without direct reference to the current time (time stamp or calendar day). Use a serial number or something similiar to determine the delta instead.

The function module is called up by the extraction and delivers a maximum value up to which data is to be extracted for this field. If a number range is used, it would make sense to return the status of the number range here.

The function module interface has the following signature:

Import Parameter

I_OSOURCE TYPE RSAOT_OLTPSOURCE - Name of DataSource

Export Parameter

E_MAX(128) TYPE C - Current Maximum

Exceptions
