Exporting a IDOC to text file

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a IDOC number and also know IDOC type.

I want to export this IDOC to a standard IDOC file to be sent to another system.

How do I do this? Is there some function module available?

Could you provide any sample code?

Thanks a lot.

Hi Shreyas,

Welcome to SDN.

Have you looked <b>File Port</b> (WE21) to ouput IDoc(s) to flat file?

For more information, please check this link.

Go to a server and find yourself an idoc that you want to use as a template.

Display the idoc using WE19.

Click Inbound file

Type in a file name - for example /tmp/test (you need to use an AL11 directory).

Make sure the option 'Start inbound idoc processing of the file immediately' is unchecked.

Choose overwrite file

Then click the tick.

This will write you an idoc into the AL11 directory structure in the system you are operating in.

Using the download and upload functions (CG3Z & CG3Y), get the file transferred to the production AL11 directories.

Use WE19 to process your downloaded idoc.

Use the option 'File as template' to pick up your file.

You should now be able to process your idoc as you wish

That is the exact answer I was looking for.

Thanks Aveek!
