BAPI/RFC parameter properties

BAPI/RFC parameter properties

When you generate a BAPI/RFC mapplet, you can view the parameter properties and return structures.
You can also change the direction of the BAPI/RFC table parameters. The direction of the table parameters determine which groups in the transformation are input groups and which are output groups.
If the BAPI return structure is custom, you can edit the return structure properties that you selected during import for reusable BAPI/RFC transformations. Otherwise, you can view the BAPI/RFC return structure parameters.
The following table describes the BAPI/RFC function parameter properties:
Parameter
Description
Name
Name of the export, import, and table parameters and columns.
Associated Type
Definition of the parameter in SAP.
Short Description
Short description of the export, import, and table parameters and columns.
Optional
Indicates if the Secure Agent should pass a value to the parameter when it calls the BAPI.
Direction
Indicates if the parameter requires input or provides output. Values are: Input, Output, Both, or None.
Datatype
Object data type.
Precision
Object precision.
Scale
Object scale.
Default
Default value of the parameter in SAP, if any. SAP uses the default value when the Secure Agent does not pass a value to SAP.
The following table describes the parameter properties in the Return Structure tab:
Return Structure Parameter
Description
Return Structure
Return parameter name to determine the status of function calls. Value is RETURN if the BAPI contains a default return structure. If the BAPI does not contain a default return structure, select any table output parameter or scalar output parameter of type STRUCTURE. Default is None.
Status Field
Required if you select a value for the return structure. Select a field from the structure for status. If you select None for the return structure, this parameter is blank.
Text Field
Required if you select a value for the return structure. Select a field from the structure for status messages. If you select None for the return structure, this parameter is blank.
Status Indicator For Warning
Enter an indicator message for warning. If you select None for the return structure, the value is W. Default is W.
Status Indicator for Error
