Documentation

The valid characteristic combinations can be generated to a quantity of characteristics and a selection belonging to them with this function module.

The function module has the following parameters:

  1. I_AREA = the planning area (Typ UPC_Y_AREA )
  2. ITO_CHA = characteristics which should be formed for the combinations (type UPC_YTO_CHA)
  3. ITO_CHASEL = selection to the characteristics from ITO_CHA (type UPC_YTO_CHASEL)
  4. ETH_CHAS = Table of generated valid combinations (type HASHED TABLE)
  5. The exception is FAILED. If this statement is triggered, this must take place through the statement MESSAGE E... RAISING FAILED. The error message following MESSAGE is then passed on.

If you have also implemented the exit for the verification of characteristic combinations, then they must be in the sense of the exit the exact complement of the combination for the combination verification of invalid combinations, which is generated here with the module to generate characteristic combinations.

No double records can be contained in the table ETH_CHAS: It is expected that exactly the fields to the characteristics from the ITO_CHA are filled; the other fields must always have the type-related initial value.

In a multi-planning area, this function module is called for all basic planning areas of a multi-planning area, which are contained in the selection. Note that in this case for reasons of efficiency, the table ETH_CHAS the row type of the multi-planning area is used; in this way the combinations do not need to be copied. For this reason, you should access the components of a work area for table ETH_CHAS using 'assign component' over the field names.
