JCO to access BAPI

Question

Hi,
  I am trying to access an BAPI which has an Import parameter as an Table "ORDERDATA". So i need to form the Table with the values entered in the textboxes in Portal to send the Import input Table while calling a BAPI.
Can someone help me out to  Create an Table "Ord_Table" with 5 fields or more so that i can pass it as an import to the function module?
JCO.Function function = repository.getFunctionTemplate("Z_ORDER_CREATE").getFunction();
JCO.ParameterList input = function.getImportParameterList();
input.setValue(<b>Ord_Table</b> , "ORDERDATA");
client = JCO.getClient(SID);
client.execute(function);
JCO.Structure ret=function.getExportParameterList().getStructure("RETURN");
            System.out.println("RETURN MESSAGE: " + ret.getString("MESSAGE"));
JCO.Table code=function.getTableParameterList().getTable("STATUS");
Thank you

Hey Arun,
Tables are not quite treated the in the same manner that inputFields are.  Check it out:
JCO.ParameterList importList = function.getImportParameterList();
// set import field and table
importList.setValue(myVariable, "SOME_SAP_ INPUT_FIELD");
// retrieve JCO.Table structure from backend
JCO.Table newDataTable = function.getTableParameterList().getTable("ORDERDATA");
// append data to Table
newDataTable.appendRow();
// these are the column names of the 'import' table
newDataTable.setValue(myVar1, "ORDERDATA_COLUMN_1");
newDataTable.setValue(myVar2, "ORDERDATA_COLUMN_2");
newDataTable.setValue(myVar5, "ORDERDATE_COLUMN_5");
// call the function module
client.execute(function);
Hopefully that helps,
Mike
P.S. if you are dev'ing for EP6.0 you should be using the JCA instead of the JCo.
