WE19 - Test tool for IDOC processing

[Former Member]

Hi:

As we know WE19 is the test tool, and it has downside that it translates everything into upper case.

Even SAP has a note for it, stating that it is not going to change. but it gets changed everything in upper case .

In Our requirement; some fields` value in lower case (or partially lower case) are required by using this tool, it converts these into upper case and hence our process does get failed.

Let me know if any exit or bapi or some other solution for it.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Do I understand that correct that SAP says in a note that the data will not be converted to upper case in WE19, but it is getting converted anyway?

In this case I would definitely raise an OSS message because according to SAP WE19 is not supposed to change the entries into upper case.

If I misunderstood your comment then the only possibility would be to hook into one of the user exits. Every IDOC that is created uses a function module that processes the IDOC and passes the data to the application. The user exit you can use depends on which IDOC type you are using. The import function modules start with IDOC_INPUT_*. Once you find out which function is used just look into the coding to identify the user exits. Use an exit at the beginning to convert the data before it is passed to the application.

Hope that helps,

Hi:

Thanks for your update.

I would appreciate for any further assistance in this regard.

My problem is :

The field's value is of combination of Upppercase & lowercase and we have to save the data as its are but as we know the WE19 converts it into uppercase that's why our further process gets fail.

Now I am looking forward to get the resolution of it since its urgent so we can not wait for OSS note implementation etc.

Thanks in advance.
