File name in control record of Idoc

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I have come across a requirement for File to IDOC scenario where File name picked from dynamic configuration is to be stored in control record of IDOC. As file name is more than 45 chars long, I need to use a long field.

Can you I use ARCKEY, SNDLAD or RCVLAD fields or there is some restriction to use these fields, means will it impact something?

IDOC control records fieds has relevance and it provided detail about sender receiver and port information.

Why u wanted to use these fields for storing File name? is any specific reason for that.

Hi prashant,

You cannot use the ARCKEY for passing any value ..i.e it is not allowed to modify ..by runtime of SAP XI..

By default it will take the message id of the XI message...

You can use either of the other fields i.e. SNDLAD or RCVLAD we are using RCVLAD for correlatin purpose in our case..

Thanks for helpful answers!

As client want filename to be in IDOC for tracking purpose and I did not want to suggest to use a field at data level.

Hi,

Yes u can use the field SNDLAD of IDOC to store the filename in ur scenario...

When u r processing the IDOC u need to change the logic accordingly..

I would suggest to use any other IDOC segment field which u r not passing any values or which is not going to be used anytime but make sure that IDOC segement occurance is one

Hi Prashant,

I understand that your requirement is to store name of picked up file in SAP system.

Can you I use ARCKEY, SNDLAD or RCVLAD fields or there is some restriction to use these fields, means will it impact something?

You can use them if you are sure that it would not affect routing routines and message processing in SAP ECC.

Hello Prashant,

I dont know what is your requirement.

But this is not advisible to use control record parameters to store varibale.

i can understand , sometime to deterrmine the receiver system/ recever port/ sender etc... Dynamically u can map the control records..

But if want to use any control record for just storig the varibale, then you need to do additional code.

in process code once the idoc is created in SAP, u need to delete the record and then create a new record with correct value.

Control Record is used for sender & receiver systems informations. Standard system is checking & filling the entries in Control Record.

I tried to fill data in SNDLAD, it is working fine at my end.

You can also check the same.

But I am not sure for any impact.
