Parameter

Meaning

IDoc_Contrl

This table contains one entry for the IDoc control record. The function module uses it only for importing data. Typically the inbound function module only uses the fields Docnum (the IDoc number) and either Mestyp (message type) or IDoctp (basic IDoc type).

IDoc_Data

This table contains just one entry for each IDoc data segment. The following fields are relevant for the inbound function module:

Docnum, the IDoc number

Segnam, the segment name

Sdata, the segment's data

Input_Method

Indicates whether the IDoc should be processed in a dialog (using a Call Transaction, for example). Possible values are:

" " Background (no dialog)

"A" Display all screens

"E" Start the dialog on the screen where the error occurred

Mass_Processing

No longer used (except for advanced workflow programming). The value is initial when the methods InputForeground or InputBackground are used; otherwise it is "X".
