Generic extractor

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus,

Can we add logic(ABAP code) while creating a view or a infoset based generic extractor. Or is it possible only in a function module extractor?

I am trying to build a generic extractor on fields coming from 3 tables mainly but need to put in some logic for some fields coming from a 4th table.

Thanks,

Function module for an extractor is not that complex. really

However, if you do not want to do anything with an FM extractor, you can do a view based extractor on the three fields, and enhance the extract structure with 4th table's fields and write the code for fetching values for those fields in the extractor user-exit (not a good idea really).

Hi:

If the logic is simple to use in selection conditions, you can write that in the View.

I myseld never did it, but I guess its easier to create a DataSource based on IndoSet Query than a function module, so you can try the former.

You cant have code while creating generic datasource by view.. or table or infoset.. you need to do this in Function module extractor..
