Generation - Interface Format for the Export Program

Use

The Interface Toolbox does not use a standard data export program when exporting data. This means that there is no ready-made program for data export in the SAP System.

Features

The following demands are placed when exporting data from the SAP System to a third-party system.

  • Flexibility for the user

  • High transfer speed during data export

To meet these requirements, the system generates the export program based on user’s requirements. These user requirements are stored in the tables in the Interface Toolbox.

If you have created an interface format, or have changed one of the following areas, you must regenerate the export program when before you can use it:

Prerequisite

Before you generate the export program, you must enter the name of the export program in the interface format for the Toolbox:

  • In the Main Program field, enter the name of the export program

  • In the Include 1 to 9 fields, enter the name of the data definition include

Caution Caution

Do not use the name of a program or include that has already been used for a different purpose.

End of the caution.

The Toolbox only receives the names of the export program and includes. The coding for the export program is generated in the interface format via the Generate function.
