Definition

You can define complex rules for the conversion of InfoObjects by using routines. If you create a transfer routine this is globally valid for the characteristic and is included in all transfer rules.

Routines are ABAP programs that consist of a predefined global data declaration part and an ABAP form routine. All of the functions of the ABAP programming environment are available in the form routine.

Procedure

After calling up the editor for the routine maintenance you get the following program framework:

program conversion_routine.


* Declare data type of the current InfoObject 
types io_<iobjnm>(<länge>) type <datentyp>. 

* 
form convert_<iobjname> 
               using    record_no like sy-tabix 
                        source_system type rsa_logsys 
               changing result like type io_<iobjnmae> 
                        returncode like sy-subrc. 
* 
*$*$ begin of routine - insert your code only below this line 

      result = 

      returncode = 0. 

*$*$ end of routine - insert your code only before this line 
* 
ENDFORM.

Remark:
The fields marked with <...> are dependent on InfoObjects and are automatically filled by the system when calling up the editor.

The form routine has the following parameters:

  • SOURCE_SYSTEM
    • Name of the source system from which the current value of the InfoObject was delivered. Using this value you can configure the conversion depending on the source system.
  • IOBJ_NAME
    • Name of InfoObject that is being edited.
  • RECORD_NO
    • Makes available the number of the record of the transfer structure to be edited.
  • RESULT
    • This parameter contains the current value of the InfoObject when calling the conversion routine. You must assign the result of the conversion to this variable before leaving the routine.
  • RETURNCODE
    • With this parameter you can report errors to the conversion program. RETURNCODE <> 0 stands for an error in the calculation, meaning the processing of the current data packet will be terminated.

  1. Insert your program code for the routine between *$*$ begin of routine ... and *$*$ end of routine ..., so that the parameters RETURN and RETURNCODE are supplied with the corresponding values.
  2. Check the syntax of your routine with the function Check. Afterwards, you can transfer the routine with function Save. By leaving the editor you end the maintenance of the routine.

Note

All navigation possibilities (e.g. Goto Dictionary) and the syntax check are available in the Editor for entering the routines.
