CL_BCS

Definition

Class that serves as the interface from BCS to the applications. The methods of the class cater for the send functions.

Use

You use the methods of this class to create a send request for the object that you want to send. You assign the object that you want to send, the sender and the recipients to this send request. You can also make settings for the send attributes and status handling, as well as relate an application object to the object sent. Alternatively, you can call the send screen to give the user the opportunity to specify the recipients and send attributes. The recipients and attributes included then serve as presettings.
