Functionality
This function module is the interface from the application to the ALElayer on the outbound side. The application can pass an IDoc, theso-called master IDoc, as an internal table using the parametersMASTER_IDOC_CONTROL and MASTER_IDOC_DATA.
This IDoc is then converted into one or communcation IDocs and storedin the ALE layer. IDocs for which no errors occurred are passed todispatch control.
In the table parameter COMMUNICATION_IDOC_CONTROL the header recordsfor the communication IDocs created are retturned. You can tell whetherprocessing was successful from the field STATUS.
A COMMIT WORK must be dispatched in the calling program, otherwise theIDocs may not be dispatched.
