Hi, I want to know the difference between edidc and edi_dc40. How can I implement edi_dc40 as a control record for outbound and inbound idocs? I want the control record structure in edidc_40, how can I do this?
Difference Between Edidc Table And Edi_dc40
Both edidc and edi_dc40 are standard SAP Tables. All control record information is present in the edidc table for the IDOC, and edi_dc40 is the structure to carry individual IDOC the specific information. These are the building blocks of all IDOC, and during runtime, the system uses them to pass IDOC data to the database. IDOC record type is –
• One control record defined by the SAP Data dictionary structure EDI_DC40, with a record length of 524 bytes.
• The control record is present in table EDIDC- one for each distinct IDOC in the IDOC database. It contains control information relating to supporting configurations including IDOC number, Direction of transmission, Sender and Receiver information, message type and IDOC type.
