Creating SDATA value of IDOC

[shaji_chandran]

Hi

I am trying to create an IDOC in MII 12.1. IDOC is having a tag known as SDATA where we put all the values. For each field in SAP there is a column length. If our value for the field is less than the maximum length of the column we put a space for rest of the length. I am adding this space in MII using some string method which takes more time. Does anyone have any idea of adding this space more smartly. Please let me know

Thanks in advance

I have used xsl to do this.

Hi Christian ,

Yes I tried with XSLT also but it is taking same amount of time as stringreplace method of MII expression editor.

Hi,

You said "If our value for the field is less than the maximum length of the column". Is it mandatory to fill in all the characters? I mean can you not post an IDOC back to SAP where a field has lesser number of characters than the max allowed?This sounds a little strange.

Thanks

Hi Udayan,

Yes the rest of the length should be filled with space then only IDOC getting processed at SAP properly. I am not sure whether it is correct or not

Thanks
