PA40 background method for personnel actions ?

[David Weston]

Thanks Claude, I have found function module HR_MAINTAIN_MASTERDATA but this uses
a call dialog with batch input and I am getting different errors for different
employees.....so it keeps failing for different reasons and is very hard to
handle in background. It does have a dialog option which I may have to persuade
the user to use instead so they can handle all the different situations. SAP
seems to use this function from their PA40 functions.

But I will look for a BAPI that maintains infotype 0000 now as well.

Cheers
Dave
