Creating a distribution list in background?

[Hilsbos, Margaret A]

Ramki,
 
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:
 
"Field SODLIENTI1 -MEMBER_ADR is too large to be included in container"
 
This field refers to the parameter DLI_ENTRIES, which the method creation wizard defaults as export, import, mandatory, multiline.
 
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. 
 
Thanks,
 
Margaret

You may be able to achieve it using FMs SO_DLI_INSERT_API1 & SO_DLI_UPDATE_API1

Hello all,

I am wondering if anyone has done this successfully...

I need to have a background step that creates a distribution list. The resulting DL can be empty; it will be edited later by the user. But it would also be nice to be able to pass it one or more addresses.

I am trying to use the business object type ADDRESS, method CREATE. However in test mode of SWO1, testing the CREATE method results in error message: "No address exists". Well, of course it doesn't exist, I am trying to create it!

I did a quick search of OSS for this and came up empty.  I am just wondering if anyone has used ADDRESS.CREATE successfully or can suggest another means to create a distribution list in the background. Note, the ADDRESS object works quite fine to return an existing DL.

I have tried this on systems with Basis version  6.20 and 6.40, same result both places.  (what part of "create" don't I understand? ;-)

Thanks for any help you can give,

Margaret Hilsbos
