Returncode in transfer rules routine

In every transfer routine template there is such interesting line of comment:
* returncode <> 0 means skip this record
I've tried to set the returncode to 1, was a certain condition encountered. However the record isn't ignored at all, and I get this error message in the monitor:
<i>Record 1 :Returncode 1 with the conversion for the field SOLD_TO</i>
How does the returncode function?
Thanks, <a href="https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/profile/Davide+Cavallari">Davide</a>

hi Davide,

Challenge - Defining "global" variable accessible in Transfer Rules Routine

Hi,
Is there a way to define a global variable in BW which is accessible via all the "Routines" in the Transfer Rules in the Info Source.
Scenario:
1) I have a field called ZTEXT in the transfer rules.
2) I am adding code in the Routine to manipulate this data in the Transfer Rules for the Info Source. Ultimately the RESULT will be populated with a value.
RESULT = .
returncode <> 0 means skip this record
RETURNCODE = 0.
abort <> 0 means skip whole data package !!!
ABORT = 0.
$$ end of routine - insert your code only before this line
3) In the Routine Code, the value of the RESULT will be derived based on what's in a field called "g_value". I don't want to derive the value in the "g_value" field in each Routine for each record that gets processed as it will take a performance hit. I am looking for a way that "g_value" can be populated once e.g. in a START Routine or another alternative and then "g_value" can be used throughout the Routine for any field in the transfer Rules.
Is there a way to define and populate "g_value" as a global variable so its VALUE can be retained and used in all the Routines in the same transfer rules. Note that there will be a fair amount of logic to derive "g_value" and hence the need to avoid deriving it each time.
Could someone advise me if this is even possible? If so, could you give me a ABAP code sample for it please?
Thank you very much,
Haritha

if you create the variable as global and in your start routine, calculate and give it a value, you can use that value in all your individual routines.

Creating an Incremental Unique Key in Transfer Rules Routine

Hello Experts,
In my Infosource, I have created a routine in the transfer rules on my infoobject. I am trying to load my data from a flat file and create a unique key by autonumbering a field in my infosource/datatarget.
I am new to ABAP and can not figure out why my code will not return a value...
Under "Use of Transfer Structure Fields" I chose my field to change only, and entered the following code:
Under Global Code I declared my counter because I want it to maintain its value during the entire load:
DATA: COUNTER TYPE I VALUE 0.
Then in my routine I have the following code:
COUNTER = COUNTER + 1.
RESULT = COUNTER.
RETURNCODE = 0.
ABORT = 0.
I expect this to return 1 for the first record, 2 for the second, and so on - therefore giving me a unique key. Any assistance in my code or other ways to automate this process in BW would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Sean,
It looks like your routine is basically correct. Have you tried using single quotes around the S instead? Also - you may want to add a statement to indicate what 0AMOUNT should be in the instance where your condition isn't true. Something like this:
IF tran_structure-shkzg = 'S'.
RESULT = tran_structure-wrbtr * -1.
ELSE.
result = ???
ENDIF.
Good luck! The syntax check in the transfer rules leaves a bit to be desired, doesn't it?

Transfer Rule Routine: Assign Date Value into Blank Field

Can anyone help me with regards to writing some ABAP code in a transfer rule so that I can assign "99991231" value into a date characteristics if it is blank?
Many thanks for advance.

I would like to check if the value of EXPIRYDATE is blank in data source. If its value is blank, assign '99991231' to it. Otherwise, it will get the value of EXPIRYDATE in transfer rule. I have rewritten the routine as follows. But there is no effects on the result.
if TRAN_STRUCTURE-EXPIRYDATE IS INITIAL.
RESULT = '99991231'.
else.
RESULT = TRAN_STRUCTURE-EXPIRYDATE.
endif.
Many thanks in advance.

Transfer Rule Routine: Change date format

Can anyone help me with regards to writing some ABAP code in a transfer rule so that I can change the format of a date (from 04/01/06 in the PSA) so that it's wrtitten as 01.04.06 into the cube?
Many thanks in advance,
Matt

Hi Matt,
so you are not using a standard date field or any other characteristic that refers to 0date, aren't you? If that is the case, just do the following in a routine:
replace all occurrences of '/' in tran_structure-<your date field> with '.' into result.
If you are using a standard date field which is always displayed as dd.mm.yy you need to convert it into the internal sap value which is yyyymmdd. You can achieve that by calling the fm CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL in a routine:
call function 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERNAL'
exporting date_external = tran_structure-<your date field>
importing date_internal = result
exceptions date_external_is_invalid = 1.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
a action needs to be done, because the date was not valid.
clear result.
endif.
kind regards

Hi Jerry,
Please find below the details of dump. Thankyou very much for your help.
Short text
    The ASSERT condition was violated.
What happened?
    In the running application program, the ASSERT statement recognized a
    situation that should not have occurred.
    The runtime error was triggered for one of these reasons:
    - For the checkpoint group specified with the ASSERT statement, the
      activation mode is set to "abort".
    - Via a system variant, the activation mode is globally set to "abort"
      for checkpoint groups in this system.
    - The activation mode is set to "abort" on program level.
    - The ASSERT statement is not assigned to any checkpoint group.
What can you do?
    Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.
    To process the problem further, contact you SAP system
    administrator.
    Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look
    at and manage termination messages, and you can also
    keep them for a long time.
Error analysis
    The following checkpoint group was used: "No checkpoint group specified"
    If in the ASSERT statement the addition FIELDS was used, you can find
    the content of the first 8 specified fields in the following overview:
    " (not used) "
    " (not used) "
    " (not used) "
    " (not used) "
    " (not used) "
    " (not used) "
    " (not used) "
    " (not used) "
How to correct the error
    Probably the only way to eliminate the error is to correct the program.
    If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to
    find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
    If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following
    keywords:
    "ASSERTION_FAILED" " "
    "CL_RSTRAN_GEN=================CP" or "CL_RSTRAN_GEN=================CM00H"
    "GET_SOURCE_PARAMETER"
    If you cannot solve the problem yourself and want to send an error
    notification to SAP, include the following information:
    1. The description of the current problem (short dump)
       To save the description, choose "System->List->Save->Local File
    (Unconverted)".
    2. Corresponding system log
       Display the system log by calling transaction SM21.
       Restrict the time interval to 10 minutes before and five minutes
    after the short dump. Then choose "System->List->Save->Local File
    (Unconverted)".
    3. If the problem occurs in a problem of your own or a modified SAP
    program: The source code of the program
       In the editor, choose "Utilities->More
    Utilities->Upload/Download->Download".
    4. Details about the conditions under which the error occurred or which
    actions and input led to the error.

I need to concatenate and Convert it into capital letters for the same field (Emplastname)
Points will be rewarded
Thanking You

Hi,
then just create a routine in the transfer rules.
routine for first name.
result = tran_structure-empfirstname.
translate result to upper case.
routine for last name.
concatenate tran_structure-empfirstname tran_structure-emplastname into result.
translate result to upper case.

Take the help of ABAP person
OR
Check for the code in the areas mentioned below
DATA: l_s_errorlog TYPE rssm_s_errorlog_int.
RESULT = .
returncode <> 0 means skip this record
RETURNCODE = 0.
abort <> 0 means skip whole data package !!!
Don't delete the code you can just comment the code and save it.

Urgent: ABAP routine in transfer rules

Hi,
when i am loading master data from R/3 into BW, i need to filter some records based on material type. there is no option in RSA6 (on R/3) or in Infopackage (BW) to make it available for filter.
So i assume i need to write ABAP routine in transfer rules. can some one help me with ABAP. i need to load the records only when MTART field(material type) in MARA is "FINI" or "RAW" and skip other records.
what is difference between deleting the whole data packet and deleting the record.
Thank you very much in advance

Filter data in transfer rules using start routine

Hi all!
I am an absolute newbie here, but I have a question regarding start routines and I noticed many questions get solved around here. My situation is the following: I have to create a start routine where the data to be transferred is filtered on an attribute "DESTINAT" in info object "0BILL_TYPE". DESTINAT can be 'M' or 'D' and depending on that letter, data must flow to a separate ODS.
Well,I came up with the following:
somewhere in my start routing I guess I'll have to put:
loop at data_pak.
DELETE DATAPAK Where DESTINAT = 'D'
endloop.
When I place this in my start routine of my transfer rules leading to the ODS where data must be of DESTINAT type 'M', will this do the trick?
I want to put the following code in the transfer rules leading to my other ODS, where data must be of type DESTINAT = 'D':
loop at data_pak.
DELETE DATAPAK Where DESTINAT = 'M'
endloop.
I'm sorry that this is a very basic question, but like I said: I'm a newbie in SAP...

Copy routines written in transfer rules to other system

In the datasource '0CO_OM_OPA_6' , in the transfer rules for infoobject 0PART_CCTR' , we have a ruotine written 'Fill Partner Cost Center from Partner Objects'.
Now I want to write the same routine for same infoobject in another test server for the same data source.
Can anybody please tell me how to go about from start as I am new in BW.

I think you should check the source system assignment in the transport connection. It might have directed to the old sytem.

How to find the existing START ROUTINEs in Transfer Rules in whole system ?

Hi all,
   How to find the existing Start Routines in Transfer Rules in BW System, please ?
   I know that we could find from the Transfer Rules.
   Is there any way to find instead of looking at Transfer Rules for <b>each</b> InfoSource?

Start Routine for transfer rules

Hello experts,
I want to use the SQL DISTINCT keyword to return non-duplicate results from a table in a DataSource (data base) in a the start routine for the transfer rules.
How do I address that table in the start routine of the TR?
I thought about something like that.
TABLES: mytable
DATA: itab_mytable type table of mytable
SELECT DISTINCT CUSTID, etc.
FROM mytable into table i_tab.
I am new to ABAP so I would be happy to get some suggestions!
thanx in advance
Axel

Hello Oscar,
as fa as I understood the entire data package in the transfer structure format is used as parameter (DATAPAK) for the routine.
so I want to perform a SQL statement on DATAPAK!
But it sais it can't find DATAPAK in ABAP-Dictionary as a table!
can I actually perform SQL statements on DATAPAK?
Thanx
Axel
