<DIV>Hi Margaret,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have not used the FMs myself but thought you may be able to use
them. You would definitely need an ABAPer to help you out. The idea is
to keep as little information as possible in the container and
build the data for the FM call in the method code.</DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=595504212-04052005>Thank you, those FM's look
helpful. Unfortunately when I try to generate a subtype of ADDRESS
with a new method using either function module, I get the following
error:</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=595504212-04052005></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=595504212-04052005>"Field SODLIENTI1 -MEMBER_ADR is too large
to be included in container"</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=595504212-04052005></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=595504212-04052005>This field refers to the parameter
DLI_ENTRIES, which the method creation wizard defaults as export, import,
mandatory, multiline.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=595504212-04052005></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=595504212-04052005>So, I guess I have to fix the code so that
it doesn't need DLI_ENTRIES in the container...unfortunately I'm not an
ABAPer, so that will be a struggle for me. It's probably really easy
once you know how, but if you have an example of method code that
works, I'd really appreciate it. </SPAN></DIV>
