hi
The numeber of lines of table control for BDC depend on screen resolution, but It can't be managed by program.
So the better solution is to create a bdc doesn't depend on resolution.
It can do that using always the first two lines of table control.
When you start the simulation, first record has to be placed in first line of tc and the second in second one.
Before placing the third record, it needs to place the second record to the top and so the third record can be placed in the second line.
Before placing the next record, it needs to place the third record to the top and so the fourth record can be placed in the second line and so.
In this way your BDC'll use alwways the first two lines of tc and your program won't depend on resolution.
The problem is the transaction you need to simulate by BDC has to have a scroll functionality to allow to place the last record was elaborated to the top of tc, so the second line of tc can always be used to place the new record.
If there isn't this functionality, it's better to use a BAPI instead of BDC.
check these two
BDC - standard screen resolution required?
