Definition

Indicator flagging all the fields in the user data parameters of a BAPI as update-relevant.

Use

The following values are possible:

  • X

    All the user data fields are updated in the database.

  • <Blank>

    The update information for the respective user data parameter is transferred and analyzed separately.

Procedure

Example

You want to create data for a material and write all user data fields to the database. By setting this indicator, you do not need to specify update information for the individual user data records.

Dependencies

This procedure is necessary for the following reasons:

  • It is not otherwise possible to tell whether a field is update-relevant or not. An initial value is not sufficient as information since it could be a valid value.
  • With ABAP and also other development platforms, it is not possible to flag fields by assigning the value zero to all data types.

    For more information, see the R/3 library documentation BC ABAP Dictionary.
