Generic extractor

Posted on Oct 13, 2006 at 07:42 PM 9 Views

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,

Anirudh

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

    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.

    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).
