Creating Test Files 

To test the data transfer program that you have created, you can create a data record in a sequential file. This data record contains all the field contents from the recording that are relevant to the data transfer in the format required by the data transfer program. It is therefore useful if you align the format of your conversion program data file with the format of the test file.

Prerequisites

Before you can generate a data transfer program, you must record the transactions using which the data is imported into the SAP system. You use the batch input recorder to do this.

Procedure

...

       1.      Display the initial screen of the batch input recorder (Transaction SHDB).

       2.      Choose Overview.
The system displays an overview of all recordings.

       3.      Position the cursor on the relevant recording and choose Create test data.

       4.      Enter a test file and exit the dialog box by choosing Continue.
You have now created a test file.

If the test file you have specified already exists, the system appends the new data record.

If you do not specify the path, the system archives the test file in the working directory of the current application server.
