The conversion of data for transfer between linked systems is performed automatically.
LOGON to the SAP partner system is also performed automatically (the user’s name and password are
stored in the table RFCDES).
For single parameters, the conversion of all data types (CHAR, NUMC, DATE, TIME, HEX, FLTP,
INT) is supported. Please note that you should not use mixed data types (i.e. character and numeric
types) in the same transfer structure (structures and internal tables).
The communication flow between programs is controlled internally.
For R/3-to-R/3 connections, the RFC development environment provides remote debugging.
The RFC generator allows you to create external RFC programs (server and client) in C or Visual
Basic.
