set_data
Use this method to fill the form in the office application with the up-to-date data from the R/3 System. The fields in the document are altered according to the contents of the table. You can also use this method to change the entries in a list box. To do this, you must create a table containing the new list box entries. These entries are automatically entered in the list box, as long as you do not use the command ‘2’ in the Code field, since this deletes all entries in the list box.
