Call a special function in the dll using Call Library Function Node????

Dear all,
I am calling a special function in the dll using call library function node. There is a input parameter that it is a enum type in this function. I don't know how to deal this parameter for calling this function.Has anybody solved this problem?Please advise!
I am appreciated of you anytime.

Most of the times an enum is just a U8/U16/U32, internally so probably you can call it with just a U8/U16/U32 or something. For the correct value you have to look at the definition.

Pro forma invoice from a Delivery Output using "8 - Special Function"

SAP Gurus
I am interested to create a proforma invoice for a delivery that is created in the system using VL01N. I am using an option to use the Delivery output to be allow creation of the pro forma invoice. I created a new output type and assigned 8 - Special function as the medium of the output.
I managed to find a BAPI that serves this purpose perfectly. Please look at BAPI_BILLINGDOC_CREATEFROMDATA. Enter the following Parameters.
In table BILLINGDATAIN insert one line with the following data:
ORDBILLTYP = ZFDP
REF_DOC = Delivery number
REF_DOC_CA = 'J'
The BAPI when it runs on own, creates the required pro forma invoice. But when it is attached to the output type to be triggered as a special function, does not work. What kind of routine should I enter in the processing routine.
Program on output screen is ZFDP_BAPI
Form Routine is ENTRY
there is a routine maintained inside the program ZFDP_BAPI called "ENTRY"
Inside the subroutine ENTRY, the BAPI_BILLINGDOC_CREATEFROMDATA is invoked.
Please advice.
Thank you.

Hello
Thanks for the reply. Earlier when I was using the BAPI BAPI_BILLINGDOC_CREATEFROMDATA, The BAPI used for the output type did not work as it uses u2018Commit Worku2019 statement and it interferes with the u2018commitu2019 of standard program. Due to this reason the transaction dumps every time.
Are you performing the output with dispatch time '4' ? - the answer is yes, I am.
Just double -checking with you that if you decide to use Use BAPI BAPI_BILLINGDOC_CREATEMULTIPLE and call it in background task, do you think that the we can get past this issue short dump issue?
Thanks

SD: Output determination - Use of transmission medium = "Special function"?

Hi,
Would you tell me what is the specific use of transmission medium = "Special function" (table TNAPR-NACHA = 8) in the output determination for messages?
Transaction V/30
Thanks and regards,
Eric

Hi Guys - Transmission medium 8 - special function is a very strong functionality that SAP has provided. You can have a business document perform a specific function everytime it is created, obviously as an output to that document. I am not sure about FICO areas, but I have worked on it in SD.
We do automatic shipment creation for deliveries. An output condition was created with access sequence of shipping cond and shipping point. Now whenever there will be a delivery created for this shipping point, it would trigger this output. The output is configured with special function transmission medium. The special function executes the program mentioned in the condition record set up. Through that program, we create a shipment that will have that delivery doc.
So then everytime a delivery is created, we would have a shipment document created for it without having to schedule another background job....!!!!
Likewise, you may accordingly utilize FICO documents and processing using special function output medium.
Thanks

Special function in output type

Hi Sap Gurus,
I am using special function ( 8 ) as medium of sending in my output which is defined for delivery.
If i try to process this output with dispatch time 3 ( Send application with own transaction ) its getting processed.
But if i try with option 4 ( Send immediately --at time of saving ) its giving an error.
Is there any standard SAP note or any pointer to solve this error
Thanks and Regards,
Abhijeet

Hi,
Use
You can process a message immediately by updating the application document or you can process it at a later time. For later processing you must use the report program RSNAST00 or a corresponding application function.
The individual possibilites are:
Time 1: The message is processed through report program RSNAST00. This report program can be scheduled periodically or started manually.
Time 2: As in time 1, but the message contains an earliest processing date and a requested processing time. The message is ignored by report program RSNAST00 before the requested date.
Time 3: The message is selected and processed by application specific programs. Processing can take place online or in the background.
Time 4: The message is processed when the application document is saved. No further processing of the message is necessary.

Special Functions keys not working on Satellite C50 - Windows 8.1

Hello,
Please could someone help me out.
I have a Toshiba Satellite C50-A0393 that I got a few months ago with Windows 8.1 already installed (64 bit). Today I got a message saying I needed to look at the PC Health, a Toshiba blue message concerning the access agreement, and I noticed that there were three upgrades that needed to be done, the only one I can remember being the Toshiba Video Player. I think that another one had to do with the charger light?
I don't know.
But once I restarted my laptop after the updates I noticed that the special function keys were not working (i.e. the volume, mute, pause and play, etc.). i then went onto the Toshiba Desktop Assist and into system settings and selected the keyboard tab. I then made sure the setting for special function mode was selected.
Now, when that setting is in place, certain keys work but for F3, F5, F6, etc and when I want to use the special functions only the volume up and down work when pressing 'Fn', but special function mode is still selected? Only those two work, not the mute or flightmode or bluetooth, which was working normally before the upgrades.
I have googled but cannot find anything specific to 8.1, or not relating to upgrading to 8.1. I cannot find the flashcard utility and do not want to try something where I do not know what I am doing. How can I get these special function keys working again normally? Sorry for the long message but I wanted to give as much info as possible.
Many thanks,
Melanie

Hi
It sounds strange to me that a Toshiba update (Toshiba Video Player, etc) would affect the function key functionality.
Nevertheless the function key (F1-F10) can be used in combination with or without the FN button. This depends on the special function key mode.
In case you want to use the F1-F12 functions without the pressing FN button, the function key mode should be enabled (should be set to special function mode)
Here the full details how it works:
https://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD2503B90001R01.htm
Now it these buttons would not work even if the FN button has been pressed, then there is some problem with the software.
First of all I would recommend you to set the BIOS to default because this function key mode can be changed in BIOS too.
After that, check if the key would work. If not, reinstall the
Toshiba Function Key Utility
And Toshiba System Driver
You can also check if the essential service has not been disabled.
Start the Task Manager and go to start up items. There you should enable all Toshiba apps and services and then restart.

Transmission medium "8: Special function"

Hi Experts,
I have got an situation. I have made changes in customization for an output type of a billing document and kept transmission medium as 8: Special Function. And this output type is supposed to trigger PDF copy of invoice in a particular server. But this output is in red status in billing document. And it seems that the output is not triggered at all.
Please guide what changes am I supposed to make for this to trigger successfully.
Thanks,
Chetan.

Dear Chetan,
"Output is not triggered at all"
It means there could be improper assinment.
Kindly make sure that output type is properly assigned to output determination procedure and that procedure is assigned to correspondig billing type.
Also,
Check output type has access sequence which in turn will have condition table assigned to it.
I think this will solve you purpose

sagar

Output - Transmission Medium - Special Function

Hi
In SD Billing output, Transmission Medium used as 8.Special Function. This is sending information to Oracle(Legacy). Now we need to make some changes in output. But, in tcode:NACE, there is no print program or form assigned to this output type. In table:TNAPR also, no program displayed.
Please provide info on how/where print program assign to output type for special functions. Or which program sends output/data to legacy
Regards
Uma

Hi,
I have small idea.I hope this will help you in identifying the program you want.
First goto VF02.Enter your billing document number.
Click on billing document-->Issue output to.
Selectyour output type.Goto Print preview.
press /h.Debugging will be switched on.
Double click on that message.
Click on break points.Select Break point at-->Breakpoint at statement.
Mention call function and press Enter.Press F8 and check for "CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'".
In this check for gv_fomname.
Get it.Goto SE16.Enter the table name as "TNAPR".
Enter this form name here and get the program name.
Please do this with the help of your ABAPer.
Reagrds,
Krishna.

Trigger special function output type through a custom program

Hi,
I have to trigger the special function output type from a custom program.
This custom program contains a BAPI and the output parameters of this BAPI are required as input to the second BAPI which is contained in the form routine of the special function output type.
I am not able to understand how to trigger the special function as I dont know how the nast-objky will be updated
and how the BAPI parameters will be passed.
Is this has to be done through a Idoc
Can anyone guide me on how to handle the above functionality.

Hello,
I am not able to understand your requirement completely...
agree with above post....addition-
1. Transport medium would be '8 - Special Function' where one program would fire and that can be used for further processing.
2. If condition record are maintained and it is matching with parameters then output type with all transport medium would be called
Thanks

Special functions in output type

Hi
For all the output types I need to use transmission medium 8( Special function).Kindly let me know what is purpose of special functions and where to see output of the form .
Points will be rewarded.

Hi,
Usually Special Function Output types are used if you are not using the standard outputs like IDOC, Print for which SAP standard programs and mehtods/Forms(SAP SCRIPTS) are available. If you want to create an output other than those or if you need some other functionality then you can maintain Special Function Output types and need to maintain the program to process that output type.
Thanks

Try this.... open System Prefrences, click on Keyboard & Mouse.
Click on the Keyboard tab.
If there is a check-box that says "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys" make sure the box is UNCHECKED.
