Get the Data Package Number in Transformation

This many years i came across lot of instances where I need to find what is the package number I am in so that I can place special piece of code for meeting business requirements. In the past i used to do lot of work around to get the package number.

Recently I had same scenario where I need to a Delete operation on my Source Package at First Data package, I debugged entire Generated Transformation program then i identified very simple way of getting the Package number, which is very cool and Simple

Put this code in your in the main code section of the Transformation.

     DATA: LV_DATAPAKID TYPE RSDATAPID.

     CLEAR: LV_DATAPAKID.

*&GettheDatapackagenumber

       LV_DATAPAKID = DATAPACKID.

LV_DATAPAKID will have Data Package Number.

Hope this document will be helpful.
