Problem in executing function BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA with SAPJCO

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am using SAPJCO2.0.2 to create a material in the SAPR/3 when i execute the function BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA by setting all the possibble values i get the following error in response.It doesnt give any descriptive error just says the message,pls help me to find a solution.

<b>ERROR You have not fully maintained the descriptions </b>

the code is as follows.Pls help me in fixing this problem coz i find no detailed description causing this error and i am new bee to SAP.

public void createMaterial()

{

try{

String number=getIntNumber();

System.out.println("MATNO" + number);

JCO.Function jcofunction=_aConnector.createFunction("BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA");

Hi Jakeer,

is it possible for you to access the corresponding R/3 system directly (via SAPGUI)? Then, the following steps might help:

1. Goto transaction SE37, enter BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA as function module name. Look at the documentation (reachable from the menu) of the BAPI. Since it's a BAPI, it should be well documented, including the minimum requirements for parameter and structure filling.

2. If that's not sufficient, activate the function module test by pressing F8. You can enter all the parameters there and save them as test environment(s). Test-run it until it succeeds (changing/adding parameters). Since there's no commit, the material will not be saved (hopefully).

3. As far as i remember, MM materials have short and long descriptions, you didn't fill the short one, so that might be the current error reason.

Hope that helps.

Regards

And to give you some nice preview: Debugging will be through all levels (including ABAP) in the future...

??? That sounds strange and interesting the same time. How is that achieved, providing a plugin, which is something like a "small Java SAP Gui", in the DevStudio?

Best regards

Not that complicated: Of course you need a SAPGui installed. But the moment you run into ABAP code it starts up and goes into the ABAP debugger. I also had some problems to believe this, but I saw a demo.

On the other hand this will give some innocent Java developers a heartache....

Hi Benny,

great feature, thanks. And everybody will be familiar with the ABAP debugger right away, since the function keys for stepping through the code are already the same

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for the instant reply,i was able to trace whats causing this error.The problem is i was appending a row and then inserting a new row and the result is it appends an empty row in the Table MATERIALDESCRIPTION and this causes the error <b>You have not fully maintained the descriptions</b> .This problem is solved by materialdesc.insertRow(0)(ie,inserting row at the appropriate index).

Thanks,Jakeer
