Direct input method

Hi all,
Plz give me brief note on direct input method, what is the use..
             AND
Why do we translate the scripts?
Thanks in advance
Venkat

hi,
direct input method is used for bulk transfer of data into SAP system.It results in faster execution since no screens are processed and the SAP database will be updated directly using the standard function modules.
Translation is used for translating the texts into the required languages.There is no other specific purpose exists.

  • LSMW direct input method

    Hi
      What is the procedure to include a specific program / report in the drop down box of program name of Direct Input method in LSMW?
    What is the diff. between Physical path and Logical path?
    How can we give our input data using logical path when we execute some standard batch or direct input programs?
    Ex. RMDATIND.

  • LSMW updating problem with direct input method

    Hi!
    Using version 4.0.0 of the LSM Workbench from 2001-07-01 on SAP R/3 4.7, I need to update the purchase order text and wanted to use the direct input method.  I found a tutorial on SAPTechnical which I followed.  All went well, the input data was converted and at last I got the message:
    "Long Texts in Total : 2
    Successfully Transferred Long Texts : 2
    Non-Transferred Long Texts : 0"
    My trials are recorded in table STXH with date and time and also in the material master change history.  However, the result in the material master is that the purchase order text is NOT updated.
    Can anyone tell me why this might be?

    Hi Santosh!
    First of all, thank you very much for posting an answer.  But unfortunately it was of no help.  I want to update the purchase order text on a material that already has the purchasing and purchase order text views. When I compare the PO text before and after my "Successfuly Transferred Long Texts" there is no change.  I hope that this make it more clear but it is still a mystery to me.

  • Doubt in BDC direct input method

    Hi experts
    I dont know how to upload data in SAP data base by using BDC direct input coding method. Can u people explain this with coding?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Antony

    Hi,
    DI is used when u r going upload large amount of data for single application.
    Better example where direct input method will be used is... uploading the data for material master.....it includes lot of views so its very much difficult to capture all the views and record the tcode and map the data in such conditions its better to go with DI methods
    advantages:
    in session method or CT method while uploading the data u do the validation by fallowing the screen sequence and field sequence where as in DI validations can be done set of code so this make the process very fast so its advantageous to upload large amout of data.
    you always use the standard sap provided program for this.
    Here in DI method very important thing is structure of flat file... so to know the structure first of all you have to download the data for one record into the internal table with the use of the same program then with the use of that structure u have to desing the flat file and upload the data.

  • Call transaction in Direct input method

      how do i use call transaction in direct input  method.

  • Error Log in Direct Input Method of LSMW

    Hello!
    We are developing an upload through LSMW using its direct input method for material master. This method is better than the Recording method but the only problem we are having is maintaining the error log. Unlike the recording method, in direct input the system gives an error log but it cant me maintained in a permanent file i.e when we go back to the upload for specifying a new file, the error log of the previous file is gone.
    Is there any way that we can maintain the error log in a permanent file? Help needed ASAP!
    Thank You!

  • Korean direct input method in tiger Mac OS X 10.4.3

    Hello,
    I need to use the korean direct input method in tiger Mac OS X 10.4.3
    but I can not find the icon or some bars to choose for the direct input in korean input menu.
    the korean direct input is used to be in Mac OS X 10.3
    can someone help me out?
    I really need this function.
    Power Mac G5 Quad 2.5G   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Yes, it makes different when I tied with boris graffiti 4.0.
    when I type korean word in boris graffiti program using "direct input" on mac os x 10.3, there is no promblem typing korean.
    But using "syllable" in mac os x 10.4, when I type the korean letter, it automatical erase the word that I typed.
    for example, if I type "gift to my friend" in korean, I try to type "g" and when I type "i", "g" is erased.
    And using "word" option, the problem is whenever I use space bar or enter key between word, and try to enter the next word, the previous word I typed is erased,
    for example, "gift to my friend", I type "gift" and I need to enter space between "gift" and "to",
    so after press the spase bar, and try to type "to", the "gift" is erased.
    I hope that you could understand what I tring to explain, and I was wondering if there is any solution for this problem.

    You have to use direct input method RMDATIND object 0020 to create materials. You may find batch input very complicated to create materials.

    Hi,
    Not sure about the same requirement of countries & tax codes for all the materials for your upload.
    If this is the case,
    enable the
    Extras->DisplayVariant
    from the menu of the LSMW & check all the check boxes. Now you see the
    __END_OF_RECORD__
    for the structure
    BMMH2
    which has to be mapped with the input structure in the Maintain structure relations step.
    double click on the
    __END_OF_RECORD__
    which will lead to ABAP editor & then put the following code:
    * Canada
    bmmh2-stype = '3'.
    bmmh2-aland = 'CA'.
    bmmh2-taty1 = 'CTX1'.
    bmmh2-taxm1 = '1'.
    transfer_record.
    bmmh2-stype = '3'.
    bmmh2-aland = 'CA'.
    bmmh2-taty1 = 'CTX2'.
    bmmh2-taxm1 = '1'.
    transfer_record.
    else if you have a different set of countries with different tax codes for the set of materials,
    You need to have a separate file for this & map the fields to the structure fields of
    BMMH2
    Hope this helps.
