I am posting FI historical data using Direct Input Method. Payment term contains special character "/"( I/E). SAP standard program replacing Special character "/" with blank (I E) so document posting is failing. Could you please advise.
Thanks
Chandra.

Can You please specify the Transaction code and SAP program name for direct input.

Replacing a special character in a string with another string

Hi
I need to replace a special character in a string with another string.
Say there is a string - "abc's def's are alphabets"
and i need to replace all the ' (apostrophe) with &apos& ..which should look like as below
"abc&apos&s def&apos&s are alphabets" .
Kindly let me know how this requirement can be met.

REPLACE
Syntax Forms
Pattern-based replacement
1. REPLACE [{FIRST OCCURRENCE}|{ALL OCCURRENCES} OF]
pattern
          IN [section_of] dobj WITH new
          [IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE]
          [{RESPECTING|IGNORING} CASE]
          [REPLACEMENT COUNT rcnt]
          { {[REPLACEMENT OFFSET roff]
             [REPLACEMENT LENGTH rlen]}
          | [RESULTS result_tab|result_wa] }.
Position-based replacement
2. REPLACE SECTION [OFFSET off] [LENGTH len] OF dobj WITH new
                  [IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE].
Effect
This statement replaces characters or bytes of the variable dobj by characters or bytes of the data object new. Here, position-based and pattern-based replacement are possible.
When the replacement is executed, an interim result without a length limit is implicitly generated and the interim result is transferred to the data object dobj. If the length of the interim result is longer than the length of dobj, the data is cut off on the right in the case of data objects of fixed length. If the length of the interim result is shorter than the length of dobj, data objects of fixed length are filled to the right with blanks or hexadecimal zeroes. Data objects of variable length are adjusted. If data is cut off to the right when the interim result is assigned, sy-subrc is set to 2.
In the case of character string processing, the closing spaces are taken into account for data objects dobj of fixed length; they are not taken into account in the case of new.
System fields
sy-subrc Meaning
0 The specified section or subsequence was replaced by the content of new and the result is available in full in dobj.
2 The specified section or subsequence was replaced in dobj by the contents of new and the result of the replacement was cut off to the right.
4 The subsequence in sub_string was not found in dobj in the pattern-based search.
8 The data objects sub_string and new contain double-byte characters that cannot be interpreted.
Note
These forms of the statement REPLACE replace the following obsolete form:
REPLACE sub_string WITH
Syntax
REPLACE sub_string WITH new INTO dobj
        [IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE]
        [LENGTH len].
Extras:
1. ... IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE
2. ... LENGTH len
Effect
This statement searches through a byte string or character string dobj for the subsequence specified in sub_string and replaces the first byte or character string in dobj that matches sub_string with the contents of the data object new.
The memory areas of sub_string and new must not overlap, otherwise the result is undefined. If sub_string is an empty string, the point before the first character or byte of the search area is found and the content of new is inserted before the first character.
During character string processing, the closing blank is considered for data objects dobj, sub_string and new of type c, d, n or t.
System Fields
sy-subrc Meaning
0 The subsequence in sub_string was replaced in the target field dobj with the content of new.
4 The subsequence in sub_string could not be replaced in the target field dobj with the contents of new.
Note
This variant of the statement REPLACE will be replaced, beginning with Release 6.10, with a new variant.
Addition 1
... IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE
Effect
The optional addition IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE determines whether byte or character string processing will be executed. If the addition is not specified, character string processing is executed. Depending on the processing type, the data objects sub_string, new, and dobj must be byte or character type.
Addition 2
... LENGTH len
Effect
If the addition LENGTH is not specified, all the data objects involved are evaluated in their entire length. If the addition LENGTH is specified, only the first len bytes or characters of sub_string are used for the search. For len, a data object of the type i is expected.
If the length of the interim result is longer than the length of dobj, data objects of fixed length will be cut off to the right. If the length of the interim result is shorter than the length of dobj, data objects of fixed length are filled to the right with blanks or with hexadecimal 0. Data objects of variable length are adapted.
Example
After the replacements, text1 contains the complete content "I should know that you know", while text2 has the cut-off content "I should know that".
DATA:   text1      TYPE string       VALUE 'I know you know',
        text2(18) TYPE c LENGTH 18 VALUE 'I know you know',
        sub_string TYPE string       VALUE 'know',
        new        TYPE string       VALUE 'should know that'.
REPLACE sub_string WITH new INTO text1.
REPLACE sub_string WITH new INTO text2.

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.

How to use the special character pallet in Maverics with Illustrator

How to use the special character pallet in Mavericks with Illustrator - I follow the help instructions, but the pasted in object looks like a rectangle with an X, I have done this before, in earlier versions of AI, but cannot make it work in CS6.
In fact, I can open an old AI file (CS4), copy the character (a graphic symbol, also taken from the special character set), paste it in, and it works, but can't do this with a new one, from the drop down, Show Character Viewer, in the Mavericks menu bar.

The box with an X indicates the font you are using does not have the glyph you are trying to paste. Try a different font.

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

Hi All
how do i use call transaction in direct input method.

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.

Reg Direct input method

Hi experts,
Can you please provide documentation on Direct input method or any link which gives me overall idea.
Yakub.

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.
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 Call Transaction method while uploading the data u do the validation by fallowing the screen sequence and field sequence where as in Direct Input 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 Direct Input 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.

Material Master upload - LSMW direct input method - Internal Number problem

Dear friends,
I am uploading material masters with LSMW - Direct Input Method.
The materials have internal numbers.
I have four plants and I want to extend the same material in all plants.
But LSMW is creating a new material for each row.
Is there any way out or any indication I put in file to repeat the internal numbers created for all other plants?
I can create another LSMW for material extension. But I want to know whether the problem can be solved in the current LSMW?

Points will be rewarded for the answers.
Thanks,

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.

LSMW - DIrect Input Method --PO

HI All,
I am using LSMW Direct input method to upload Purchase orders.But my probelm is i am using Two files for header and items. In my case i have to upload so many Purchase orders with multiple item data at a time.
Example.
Header file
H1 ......
H2 .......
H3 ......
H4 ......
Item File
I1 ....
I1 ....
I2 ....
I2 ....
I3 ....
I3 ....
I3....
I4....
But my question is How the program will identify Which items are related to particular Header.
Please help me on this.
What will be the identification for header and item.
Thanks in advance,
Bhanu P R Gattu.

I usually use a single file for both header and item:
When you specify your source file, contents must be "Data for Multiple Source Structures (Seq. File)", and header record must precede item(s) record(s):
H1
I1-1
H2
I2-1
I2-2...

Hi Experts,
We have already written program for equipment BOM master in LSMW direct input method. I do not know about this direct input method.
Here they have maintained 2 source structures and relavant source fields. one for BOM header and other for BOM items. The first field they maintained is LINK in both the source fields. I really do not know what that field is all about. I checked in step specify files and found that they have previously mentioned two files, one for BOM header and other for BOM items. but when I tried to save in this step it gives me error that " No logical path specified". Can anybody tell me what is this error is all about.Please heip me to get out of this problem.
Thanks and best regards,
Praveen

Hi praveen,
LSMW does not accept two files.
In the step create source strcture
crte one structure with BOM header like with ZBOM_H.
Under that create another structure for item ZBOM_I.
ZBOM_H
ZBOM_I like this structure will will be.
In the step source fields.
crate onne variable with indicatoe header.While creating the variable we have field 'identify field content ' field in pop up screen 'H'.
assign all header files under identifier 'H'.
then under ZBOM_I create identifier with 'I'.
Assign all the item fields to this.
then map the fields.
In the file should be H header fields.
                              I item fields.
                              I
                              I.
Then Header .It should be like this.
in saptechnical u will get the examples go though them once.
Thanks

LSMW Direct Input Method - Change Documents

Hello experts,
Could anyone please tell me how to enable the change documents(not just runtime) for LSMW direct Input method? There is also one option "Change Documents" in the last step of the process, will this write into any table that I see the changes later If I run the last step with selected this option? If yes, What are the application (customer master data, vendor master data, material master data, etc) specific tables?
Is there anyway that I could populate this method changes into the CDHDR & CHPOS tables?
SAP documenation on this:
To enter the data into the *corresponding database tables directly*, the system calls a number of function modules that execute any necessary checks. In case of errors, the direct input technique provides a restart mechanism
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/fa/097174543b11d1898e0000e8322d00/content.htm
Since this tool writing data into database tables directly skips the CDHDR & CDPOS recording..
Is there any other possible way for the complete change logs (change pointers???)? ( Or only table logging?)
Please share your experience on this.
Thanks,
Himadama
