start routine for base unit

[Former Member]

hi friends

i need to give a start routine for my baseunit.

i need my baseunit always EA,

i get the data from the flat file , so what ever the unit they mention there in the flat file if it is not equal to 'EA', then it should take it as EA.

i gave code like this

IF COMM_STRUCTURE-0BASE_UOM NE ‘EA’

APPEND 'EA'

then i got this error

E:Field "COMM_STRUCTURE-0BASE_UOM" is unknown. It is neither in one of

the specified tables nor defined by a "DATA" statement. "DATA" statement.

Hi Sampath,

In start toutine the data is considered in terms of DATA PACKAGES.

It is not communication structure that you should be using.

It is like this,

DATA_PACKAGE-BASE_UOM

Please change the code and check now.

Assign points if useful.

Hi Sampath,

Can you try this and let me know if it works...

loop at data_package.

if data_package-base_uom <> 'EA'.

data_package-base_uom = 'EA'.

modify data_package.

endif.

endloop.

Cheers,

Praveen.

E:The field "DATA_PACKAGE" is unknown, but there is a field with the

similar name "DATAPAK". "DATAPAK".

Hi Sampath,

As you need EA always, why dont you make the update of this field using a Constant, instead of manipulating in the start routine.

Check this link for details.

Hi Sampath,

Instead of COMM_STRUCTURE-0BASE_UOM, use

COMM_STRUCTURE-BASE_UOM without the "0". The fields in the communication structure saved in database will not have "0" prefix.

Let me know if this solves your problem.

hi praveen

thaks for your answer

it is a start routine

so i changed the routine

IF DATA-PAKAGE_BASE_UOM NE 'EA'

APPEND 'EA'

even though i got the same error
