Description
This report generates a batch input session for HR infotypes from filesin the work station. It transfers the data from an old system to HRmaster data, specially for the pension fund in Switzerland. It supportsthe flexible field assignment of infotype "Individual Values PF" (0279).
You generate accounts/postings for the component 'Pension FundSwitzerland' with report RPUADUC0.Significance of the selection parameters
Name of the description file
It is assumed that this file is on the work station. You must specifythe complete path as the name. Also, the file must exist as a text file.
Name of the batch input session to be generated.
Option "Display only file info"
If you select this field, no batch input session is created. Instead, itdisplays which file layouts result from the entries in the descriptionfile.
Country grouping and transaction class
This data is required to evaluate the features (for example, P0002,P0006), that control the country-specific screens for the correspondinginfotypes (0002, 0006).
Check the features for the infotypes that you want to process. If youwant to use more fields to control the features, you must extend theselection screen and the report to include these fields. Input files
This report reads the following text files from the work station:
- Description file (parameters on selection screen)
The information in this file controls the import of actual data. Itestablishes in particular:
For which infotypes a BI folder should be generated
How infotypes are to be processed (BDC_OKCODE)
From which data files the relevant date is to be read
Which data (constants, values from data file), is to be assigned towhich infotype fields
Which data value types (fields from infotype 0279) are to be assigned.
- One data file per infotype
The structure of these files is determined by the description filespecifications.Format of description file
The description file has the following block of lines per infotype:
PROTECT
* Commentary lines are ignored
#INFOTYPE []
#FIELD #VAL
#FIELD #COL []
#VALTY []
ENDPROTECT
The individual fields must be separated by one or more empty characters.
Many user-defined lines with #FIELD or #VALTY (only practical forinfotype 0279) can follow on #INFOTYPE lines.
You must enter a four-figure infotype number. The first number must be0. Therefore, you must enter '0001', not simply '1'.
The name of the data file is determined, in which the name in thedescription file is appended to the path of the description file. Thesefiles must lie in the same or in a subordinate directory.
"INS" (<-> create new) is used as the default BDC_OKCODE. Otheralternatives are "COP" (<-> copy) or "MOD" (<-> change).
Enter the name of the screen field as the field name. This can bedetermined through F1 help in this field (technical info). You mustenter the structure name (for example, P0278).
You must enter a constant value (also in the date file) - a manual entryis also possible - (for example, 01011997 instead of 19970101). This isalso valid for character strings in the data files. The settings in theuser parameters (date format, payment format) should also be consideredhere.
The column numbers refer to columns in the data field of the respectivedata file. The output length of the screen field is selected as thestandard column length, as long as this is not explicitly specified. For#VALTY lines the standard width is 12 characters. If the output lengthof the screen field is not clear, then the explicit specification of thecolumn width is recommended.Format of data files
The data files are made up of columns with the fields
