Creating a material with just the basic view using BAPI

Question

Hi
   I intend to create a new material with just the basic view using BAPI BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA - 
To do this - I believe I have to fill in the structure HEADDATA data - ( mandatory ) with the required values  - I fill values for fields IND_SECTOR, MATL_TYPE & basic view ( check this field ) and leave the MATERIAL field as blank (assuming  internal numbering ) and then fill values of the CLIENTDATA structure with values for the basic data view.
Is this correct ? Will my material number created be returned in the RETURN structure - how do I look for the material number exclusively in my RETURN structure ?
