Description
You can create a batch input session for transaction FD01 (Createcustomer in FI).
This reads and processes a sequential dataset with the help of thestructure information tables TNT2 and TNT2S. If you first want to testthe importing of the sequential dataset you can run the report in testmode. This does not create a batch input session, but the field valuesare displayed on the respective screens. The test mode is particularlysuitable for checking the structure definition of the sequentialdataset.

Precondition
If the length of a record of the sequential dataset is more than 1024bytes, then the length of the buffer variable REC must becorrespondingly changed in INCLUDE program RNIFID02.
A structure definition must exist for the sequential dataset (tablesTNT2 and TNT2S). In addition, you must enter the record identifier ofthe records to be edited and the complete name of the sequentialdataset when starting the report. The default for the record identifieris RNFID.
Any conversions of the field formats that are necessary can be carriedout as follows:
Define a corresponding form routine in report RNILSI20. You make allchanges to the format with the field symbol. The conversion is to bestructured so that a valid input format is achieved for the respectiveentry field. You enter the name of the form routine in field TNT2-FORMof table TNT2.

Output
If the field "Test mode" is selected, a batch input session is notcreated. If you select the "Error log", any errors are logged. The"Full log" contains all the screen fields with their respective fieldcontents.
If you have generated a batch input session, you can edit this withtransaction SM35 (System -> Services -> Batch input -> Edit), that isanalyze and process it if necessary.

Example
Examples of the form routines can be found in report RNILSI20.
An example of the structural description of a data record for creatinga customer in FI is stored in tables TNT2 and TNT2S under theidentifier RNFID.
These are data records of record type DEB. This structural descriptionis sufficient for creating a customer - but is a minimum structure. Forexample, the data for bank details or communication address aremissing. The standard structure can be extended as required.
