I was new to IDocs. A recent assignment forced me to learn it. I realized that certain portions of Idoc creation could be easily programmed. So, explored a bit and wrote the code to auto-generate them. It worked like a charm. The code (or report: zzz_create_idoc_wizard) is pasted below. Enjoy :smile:
The below report has 5 mandatory parameters. Refer the comments against each of the parameters. Key in valid inputs and execute the report. (Based on your logged on SAP GUI security settings, you may get a security popup to take your confirmation to create/update a file in your local system. Just confirm by clicking 'Allow' or 'OK' button). The output of this report is a text file that gets saved in the path mentioned under parameter m_path. Copy the entire content of this text file. This is it. You can directly paste this 'ready-to-use code' either into a new report or a function module or a subroutine or a class-method. (Isn't it cool? :smile: )
In the auto generated text file, refer the comments mentioned. (By default, I have set the value to 'X'. You can either use this defaulted value for testing purposes. For productive use, replace the defaulted values with your own custom SELECT SQLs or custom logic to populate the segments' internal tables of your IDoc). Save and activate this new code. You are ready. :smile: The possible limits (max and min limit for each segment is also mentioned as comments in the code). This will be handy while preparing the internal tables for each segment of the IDoc.
Both 'basic' and extended' IDoc types are supported. This saves tons of coding time of developers who intend to write, test and rewrite iDocs.
The developer only needs to add the relevant functional/business logic under the specific commented sections of the code in reference to the productive usage of the IDoc (which of course cannot be automated. Are you crazy? :razz: )
