Creating a distribution list in background?

[Workflow99@aol.com]

Hi Margaret,
 
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.

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
