Delimit Objects
Use
You can use the
Delimit
function for
table objects
(internal tables, field strings, and infotypes).
This function flags a table object and the accompanying field objects in the payroll period to be exported as invalid.
Note
The
Delimit
function
cannot
be used separately for an individual field object. If you create this function for a table object, the system includes
all
field objects belonging to this object in the delimitation.
Features
By delimiting an object,
all field objects
belonging to this object are flagged with the character "
<
". The delimitation information
"<"
is transferred with the respective field object length.
The key fields are exceptions because the system always exports the contents of key fields.
During the data export by the Interface Toolbox, the delimited object is transferred to the third-party system along with all flagged field objects. By looking at the flagged field object the receiver can determine whether or not the object is still valid for the relevant employee.
