A problem when using a data element in BAPI

Hi there,
I build a function module, and want to use it as a BAPI. But when I add the function module as a method of a BAPI object, it gives me the following error: data type xxxxx cannot be used for methods.
I guess the problem happens because of the type of data element I used for the input parameter of the function module. Thus I tried many other data elements, but I keep getting the same error. I am really out of the game. Could anyone tell me which data element I should use for the input parameter of the function module? The function module has only one input parameter, which should be a string with length less than 100.
Thank you so much!!
Sincerely,
Bing

The function module has only one input parameter, which should be a string with length less than 256. (I tried many predefined data element like RPLM_STRING, but when I tried to add the function module as a method of BAPI, the SAP always gave me the error: data type xxxxx cannot be used for methods)
It only has one output parameter: RETURN (associated type: BAPIRETURN)
I am really not familiar with ABAP program, let alone BAPIs. Any suggestions would be very helpful to me. I sincerely appreciate your help.
Bing

  • ORA-01403: no data found Problem when using AUTOMATIC ROW FETCH to populate

    ORA-01403: no data found Problem when using AUTOMATIC ROW FETCH to populate a form.
    1) Created a FORM on EMP using the wizards. This creates an AUTOMATIC ROW FETCH
    TABLE NAME - EMP
    Item Containing PRIMARY KEY - P2099_EMPNO
    Primary key column - EMPNO
    By default the automatic fetch has a ‘Process Error Message’ of ‘Unable to fetch row.’
    2) Created a HTML region. Within this region add
    text item P2099_FIND_EMPNO
    Button GET_EMP to submit
    Branch Modified the conditional branch created during button creation to set P2099_EMPNO with &P2099_FIND_EMPNO.
    If I then run the page, enter an existing employee number into P2099_EMPNO and press the GET_EMP button the form is populated correctly. But if I enter an employee that does not exist then I get the oracle error ORA-01403: no data found and no form displayed but a message at the top of the page ‘Action Processed’.I was expecting a blank form to be displayed with the message ‘Unable to fetch row.’
    I can work around this by making the automated fetch conditional so that it checks the row exists first. Modify the Fetch row from EMP automated fetch so that it is conditional
    EXIST (SQL query returns at least one row)
    select 'x'
    from EMP
    where EMPNO = :P2099_EMPNO
    But this means that when the employee exists I must be fetching from the DB twice, once for the condition and then again for the actual row fetch.
    Rather than the above work around is there something I can change so I don’t get the Oracle error? I’m now wondering if the automatic row fetch is only supposed to be used when linking a report to a form and that I should be writing the fetch process manually. The reason I haven’t at the moment is I’m trying to stick with the automatic wizard generation as much as I can.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks Pete

    Hi Mike,
    I've tried doing that but it doesn't seem to make any difference. If I turn debug on it shows below.
    0.05: Computation point: AFTER_HEADER

    0.05: ...Process "Fetch Row from EMP": DML_FETCH_ROW (AFTER_HEADER) F|#OWNER#:EMP:P2099_EMPNO:EMPNO
    0.05: Show ERROR page...
    0.05: Performing rollback...
    0.05: Processing point: AFTER_ERROR_HEADER
    I don't really wan't the error page, either nothing with the form not being populated or a message at the top of the page.

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

    .......which is the problem iam facing.Please could any body let me know how in this case i should handle in my code that this word
    "Director,Finance - NAR"   wil not be split into two words.
    Thanks & Records
    Madhuri

    Hi Madhuri,
    Best way to avoid such problem is to use TAB delimited file instead of comma separated data. Generally TAB does not appear in data.
    If you are generating the file, use tab instead of comma.
    If you cannot modify the format of file and data length in file is fixed character, you will need to define the structure and then move data in fixed length structure.

  • Problem when using Javabeans in ADF?

    Hi,
    I encountered a problem when using ADF.
    Please look at the following 2 classes :
    public class Person
    private String name;
    private String city;
    private int age;
    public Person(String name, int age, String city)
    this.name = name;
    this.age = age;
    this.city = city;
    public Person()
    public void setName(String name)
    this.name = name;
    public String getName()
    return name;
    public void setAge(int age)
    this.age = age;
    public int getAge()
    return age;
    public void setCity(String city)
    this.city = city;
    public String getCity()
    return city;
    public class PersonFactory
    public PersonFactory()
    public List getPersons()
    List list = new ArrayList();
    list.add(new Person("peit", 18, "dalian"));
    list.add(new Person("robin", 22, "shenyang"));
    list.add(new Person("Joe", 30, "York"));
    list.add(new Person("Edi", 23, "Beijing"));
    return list;
    public List getNames()
    List list = new ArrayList();
    list.add("Peit");
    list.add("Robin");
    list.add("Joe");
    list.add("Edi");
    return list;
    public void commit()
    System.out.println("Data commited");
    I created the PersonFactory class as DataControl, so I can use the getPersons() and getNames()(just for test, so they are simple), I drag the names from
    the DataControl palette as Table in a JClientPanel, good luck, it works and displays the 4 Strings in a table, but when I drag the persons from
    the DataControl palette as Table in the same JClientPanel, it does not work and raises exception :

    Hi, Frank
    Thank you for your reply.
    I am sorry for not explaining well. I mean that the getNames() works fine, but getPersons() does not. The only diferenece between them is the former is simple string and the latter is javabean, but when I made the PersonFactory as DataControl, I set the bean class Person for the getPersons()(list of persons) bean class.
    I debuged the class, the exceptions raised when the table for getPersons() setModel() method called.
    So, where is the problem?
    Thanks.

  • Error while using '*'in the NTE (EDI 850) Segment where '*' is also used as Data Element

    Hi All,
    I am facing below mentioned error while using '*'in the NTE (EDI 850) Segment where '*' is also used as Data Element
    Error: 1 (Field level error)
      SegmentID: NTE
      Position in TS: 70
      Data Element ID: NTE02
      Position in Segment: 2
      Data Value:
      3: Too many data elements
    For Eg: NTE*GEN*My Text *goes here
    Here, NTE02 should be My Text *goes here. So, how can I use "*" here without changing anything in the EDI message?
    Can it be done?
    Thanks.

    Sorry, no.
    X12 does not support an escape character so whatever is used for delimiters become reserved characters.
    If you want to allow '*' in the data, you will have to chooser a different Element delimiter.  The receiver should read the from this from the ISA Segment so it's supposed to be dynamic but that's not always the case in practice.

  • Coercion problem when using Shared Variable

    I have a curious coercion problem when using Shared Variables.  I want to share the state of a State Machine, which is an enum saved as a control (typedef) called TYPE State (see attached).  I create a shared variable called State and define it as a Custom Control, using the just-mentioned typedef.  So far, so good.  I've attached three simple VIs -- the first one, Init State, simply wires a constant to the input of the Shared Variable to initialize it -- the wired constant is, of course, defined by the typedef.  However, the Get State and Set State, meant to wire an indicator (for reading the state) or control (for setting it), develop coercion dots when wired into the Shared Variable.  Why?  How do I get rid of the dot?  [I suppose I could abandon my typedef and custom control, but the beauty of typedefs and custom controls is that it "enforces" rules, lets you use enums for clarity, keeps the code "honest", etc. -- I'd hate to give that up just to get rid of a dot!].
    On a related note, the code seems to work.  This is much too simplistic to do anything, but if you open Set State and Get State, set the state to anything, run it (it immediately stops, of course), then run Get State, you'll see the chosen state appear in the indicator.  So it does appear to work.  The "error" (coercion dot) may, I suppose, be a "bug" in Labview because it can't figure out the mapping of the (very simple!) Custom Control, but if so, I hope it gets fixed quickly!

    If this issue does turn into a product suggestion, I would suspect the workaround would to live with the coersion dot for the time being.

  • NLS support problems when using AL32UTF8 in dads.conf

    Hello,
    Following a post by Joel Kallman, in one of the forum threads, about the mandatory use of AL32UTF8 in dads.conf, when running HTML DB v2.0, I changed my PlsqlNLSLanguage parameter accordingly.
    Prior to the change, I experienced some problems when using non-English characters – some application items appeared as gibberish when contained non-English characters, and the LIKE operator didn't perform as expected. After the change, it all seems to work OK, but now I have a different problem.
    All the non-English characters in my HTML page source code appears as gibberish. On screen, at run time, everything display correctly, but the source code seems to be corrupted. It is very difficult, and very annoying to debug the pages that way. Is there a way to enjoy both worlds – Using AL32UTF8 in the dads.conf, as required, and still getting a coherent HTML source code, containing non-English characters?
    Thanks,

I have 16 Gb RAM on my NEW iMac and have Parallels desktop, mail, safari, iWeb and Rapidweaver running simultanious.
    I never have the problem if i don't use Rapidweaver, but after i have added several pages to Rapidweaver, the problem begins. my iMac won't start up. the only thing that works is re-installing Macos OS X 10.8. i tried even whiping the completeharddrive, and reinstalling with a complete new user, the same problem.
    I had it on my previous iMac also, and bought a new one because i thought the problem was in the iMac first. i hadn't noticed it only happens with using rapidweaver.
    i sent my complete rapidweaver project to the programmers from rapidweaver at Realmacsoftware, but they couldnt reproduce my problem, there macs started up without any problem.
    i deleted all the rapidweaver addons and extra stacks, and started a complete new project.
    saterday i had the problem again, after adding about 5 new pages to my rapidweaver site.

  • How to use '*' as data Element in the NTE(Edi 850) Segment

    Hi All,
    I am facing a field level error while using '*' in EDI 850 (NTE segment). '*' is also used as Data Element.
    For Eg: NTE*GEN*My Text *goes here
    Here, NTE02 should be My Text *goes here. So, how can I use "*" here without changing anything in the EDI message?
    I have asked this question before
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/1668e8d8-ee99-4d79-961b-8d26f3a496f8/error-while-using-in-the-nte-edi-850-segment-where-is-also-used-as-data-element?forum=biztalkediandas2
    The answer in the above forum was to ask client modify the EDI message.
    Previously, our client was using a different technology (other than BizTalk) which was working fine with this format. So, they are insisting on this format only.
    Thanks,

    Sorry, the answer is the same.
    It doesn't matter what EDI platform either side is using, the '*' in the field content conflicts with the '*' that is the element delimiter. That is invalid EDI, there is no way around that short of writing a custom EDI parser.
    It's not clear if you're sending or receiving this message.  But again, it's really doesn't matter.
    1. Change the Element Delimiter to something other than '*'.  < or > are not uncommon.
    2. If you are receiving the EDI, create a custom Pipeline Component that "handles" NTE02 either by replacing the '*' with a substitute char or deleting it.
    3. If you are receiving, you could add extra elements to NTE to accommodate extra fields (since that's how the parser will see them).  Then you can join them again in a Map.

  • Performance problem when using CAPS LOCK piano input

    Dear reader,
    I'm very new to Logic and am running into a performance problem when using the CAPS LOCK-piano-keyboard for input of an instrument: when I'm not recording everything is fine and the program instantly responds on my keystrokes, but as soon as I go into record-mode there is sometimes a delay in the response-time (so I press a key and it takes up to half a second longer before the note is actually played).
    Is there anything to do about this to improve performance (for example turning of certain features of the application), or should I never use the CAPS LOCK keyboard anyway and go straight for an external MIDI-keyboard?
    Thanks and regards,
