Creating an ABAP program from a BDC recording
Step 1
Execute transaction recorder, transaction SHDB or recording button via transaction SM35.
Step 2
Enter name for recording (can be anything)
Step 3
Enter transaction to be executed
Step 4
The transaction will now be executed, simply perform the actions you want to record. This example
changes the Net price of item 1 on a purchase order (sets it to 20).
Step 5
Once you have finished the recording and selected the save button or exited the transaction you
Will be presented with the following information. This details the screens and fields that have been
Processed during the recording and will be used as a basis to create BDC ABAP program.

Date format for entry into BDC
Because a date field is stored and displayed in different formats within SAP the following code is
required to convert the date into a format which can be input onto a screen field.
Date field
data: ld_date(8).
ld_date(2) = sy-datum+6(2).
ld_date+2(2) = sy-datum+4(2).
ld_date+4(4) = sy-datum(4).


General Flow of a BDC Program
General flow of a BDC program is like this....
1) First create recording for the T code which you want to make BDC for... Use T
code SHDB for recording.
2 ) Now save that recording and create pogram from that recording using Create
Program button. give the BDC driver program name and create.
3 ) Now the general logic of BDC program goes like this....
- Upload Flat file into and internal table using function module "UPLOAD"
- OPEN BDC GROUP.
- Now loop at that internal table which contains the data from flat file.
- move data from internal table to fields of BDCDATA using automatically
gebnerated code from BDC.
- CALL TRANSACTION <T CODE> using BDCDATA...
- CLOSE BDC GROUP
A sample program for the same is attatched here for your referance... just go through
it..
