Customer Deletion via RFC

Question

We would like to delete a customer (set deletion flag) via RFC. The problem is that the BAPI_CUSTOMER_DELETE calls screens which means that it cannot be called. We want to avoid doing database updates on KNA1-LOEVM because we want such deletions recorded in the change log and properly executed.
Are there any functions in SAP which delete customers properly without user interaction?

Answer 1

Here is the sample code:
DATA: BDCDATA TYPE TABLE OF BDCDATA.
DATA: ITAB TYPE TABLE OF BDCMSGCOLL.
DATA: PROGRAM LIKE SY-REPID,
      WA_BDCDATA TYPE BDCDATA.
WA_BDCDATA-PROGRAM  = 'SAPMS38M'.
WA_BDCDATA-DYNPRO   = '0100'.
WA_BDCDATA-DYNBEGIN = 'X'.
APPEND WA_BDCDATA TO BDCDATA.
CLEAR WA_BDCDATA.
WA_BDCDATA-FNAM     = 'RS38M-PROGRAMM'.
WA_BDCDATA-FVAL     = PROGRAM.
APPEND WA_BDCDATA TO BDCDATA.
CALL TRANSACTION 'SE38'  USING BDCDATA  MODE 'N'
                         MESSAGES INTO ITAB.
