*E Convert old format to SAP format
MOVE: OLDREC-LIFNR TO LIFNR,
OLDREC-NAME1 TO NAME1,
OLDREC-TELF1 TO TELF1.
*E Fill SAP structures
MOVE: '1' TO BLF00-STYPE,
'XK02' TO BLF00-TCODE,
LIFNR TO BLF00-LIFNR.
MOVE: '2' TO BLFA1-STYPE,
'BLFA1' TO BLFA1-TBNAM,
TELF1 TO BLFA1-TELF1,
NODATA TO BLFA1-SENDE.
*E Transfer data
TRANSFER: BLF00 TO SAPFILE,
BLFA1 TO SAPFILE.
*E TEXT-002: 'Data transferred for vendor
WRITE: / TEXT-002, OLDREC-LIFNR.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
CLOSE DATASET: OLDFILE, SAPFILE, ERRFILE.
As the length of the old data is different, it must be converted.
The converted data can then be placed in the SAP structures.
Finally, the SAP structures can be transferred to a sequential file. They can then be analyzed by the
standard batch input program RFBIKR00.
Note: In ABAP/4, a single MOVE is sufficient to convert and fill the SAP structure (every MOVE
statement automatically performs a conversion).
