The Structure Parameter Classes (SAP-Bibliothek - SAP Automation RFC and BAPI Interfaces (BC-FES-AIT))

The Structure Parameter Classes

The structure parameter proxy classes are proxy classes for structure parameters of BAPI methods. They offer setter and getter functions to write to and read from individual fields in the structure parameter, respectively. A field setter function takes data of a Java native type as arguments and sets its corresponding field to that data value. A field getter function returns data value of Java native type, converted from the ABAP data type of the corresponding field of the structure parameter.

See an example of a structure parameter proxy class for a structure parameter of the reference structure type BAPI0015_2 in the Java BAPI HTML Reference (in Com.sap.bapi.profitcenter.jbobapi0015_2structure.html)

Naming convention

The naming convention of the setter and getter of fields is as follows:

The setter function name has the format s et<field_name>(...) , and the getter function name has the format get<field_name>() .

field_name itself follows the convention deletes all the underscore characters („_") and converts all characters to lower-case, except for the characters that immediately follow the deleted underscore characters.

For example, the setter function name for field ORDER_DATE would be SetOrderDate() ; the getter function name for field FAX_NUM_1 would be GetFaxNum1() .
