Write incorrect record to Unix file and not load to PSA

Question

Hi,
Is there anyway to write an incorrect record to a file from the transfer rules, such as if the record is not found after a search through one of the master data table, it should not load to the PSA but write to a UNIX file? What would be the ABAP code?
Thanks,
Will

Hi Will,
Transfer rules are processed after data are loaded to PSA. So you can only avoid that records are updated to info providers and write them to a file on your application server.
If you really want to manipulate records in PSA you need to load required data to PSA within a process chain and to add a report that deletes the records from PSA and writes them to a file.
The steps are
1. Transfer rules
     1.create a start routine
     2.load required masterdata to an internal table
     3.loop at datapak
     4.delete records according to conditions
     5.append records to an internal table
     6.load file from internal table
2. PSA
     1..Create a report
     2. Load PSA request into an intenal table
     3.load required masterdata to an internal table
     4. loop at ‘internal’ PSA
     5 .delete records according to conditions
     6.append records to an internal table
     7.load file from internal table
Hope this helps
