Your suggestions / comments are welcome.

Answer 1

Read in reference data
Copy postal reference data into the regional structure tables.       
Use the program RSADRLSM02.                                  
Read the program documentation.                              
See note 132948.                                             
Fill regional structure with postal code, city, streets, ... 
Title                                                        
Read in postal codes, cities, districts, streets, PO Boxes   
Purpose                                                      
This program puts data in the regional structure, i.e. reads postal          
codes, cities, districts, streets, PO Boxes and their objects from           
external media into the R/3 System, independently of the format and          
structure of the external data.                            
Prerequisites                                                
This program processes files of a particular internal format. Such files     
can be created from external source data with the LSM Workbench, using       
various pre-defined transfer objects. The LSM Workbench is used as a         
mapping tool which maps the data structures of various external media at     
the interface of this program. This makes the program independent of the     
format of the external data.                                                 
The LSM Workbench (Release 1.0 or higher) must be installed.                 
The procedure is described in note 132948.                                                                               
Features                                                                               
1.  Data entry                                                               
The data to be processed is read directly from the application           
server. The logical name of the data to be processed must be             
specified. The file names are specified per object (city, street,        
...), i.e. it must be made known, in which file the streets, in          
which the cities, etc. are passed. If several or all objects are         
passed in one file, the same logical file name must be specified         
several times.                                                           
The Logical file name definition and the physical file name and path     
assignment can be performed with the LSM Workbench.                                                                               
2.  Log/statistics                                                              
A log is created during processing. It is written to an application         
server file together with statistics of objects read and created,           
for further processing.                                                     
An existing logical file name must be specified.                            
The log file is line-oriented, i.e. it can be read record by record.        
See also the ABAP command OPEN DATASET dsn IN TEXT MODE documentation.                                                                               
3.  Default creation language/country key                                       
The default creation language and country for which the data are to         
be created must be specified.                                                                               
4.  Storage restiction                                                          
To avoid a storage overflow, you can specify an approximate value in        
kilobytes for how big an internal table in ABAP memory can become           
without endangering the program.                                            
The specified default value should only be changed if absolutely            
necessary.                                                                               
5.  Internal and external number assignment                                     
This program uses external number assignment, but in rare cases             
certain objects cannot be created consistently with external                
numbers. If the 'internal number assignment' flag is set, the object        
indicated is created with another number, which is logged. Otherwise        
such objects are not created.                                                                               
6.  Restart after program cancellation                                          
If the program is cancelled, you can restart processing later where         
it was cancelled. This position can either be automatically                 
determined or specified directly. The manually entered position is          
not reprocessed, processing restarts with the next record.                                                                               
Notes                                                                               
o   The program should run in the background with variants, because           
         reading the data can take a long time.                                                                               
o   The steps required for reading data into the regional structure are       
         described in detail in note 132948.                                                                               
o   It also describes how the data read in can be updated later.              
Hope this helps
