Filenames and Screen Entries
Each IDoc structure includes the following necessary components:
- Controlrecord (EDI_DC / EDI_DC40)
- Datarecord (EDI_DD / EDI_DD40)
- IDoctype (for example: ORDERS02)
At the end of each run, the selected IDoc types are transferred to a specified directory of the local workstation. The default directory is the current SAP working directory.
In the case of multiple IDoc selections, each structure will get its own file. The filenames are generated as follows:
| File name | Description |
|---|---|
| <IDoctype>_<release>.ddf | Extended filename |
| <IDoctype>.ddf | Short filename |
After all transfers have been processed, a list is displayed on the screen. This list provides information on successful processed structures, created files and pathnames, as well as useful information in case of failures.

Mandatory Entries
This table describes the mandatory entries.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| IDOC Name | Enter the name of a valid SAP IDoc structure. For example: ORDERS02 You must specify the requested type of the structure using the options Basic IDoc type and IDoc type (basic IDoc type plus user extension). Multiple selection and the use of patterns is possible. |
| Version | Enter the version of the IDoc record types (for example, 1, 2, or 3). |
| SAP Release | Enter a valid SAP Release (such as 600 or 700). This reflects the SAP release where the requested IDoc structure is released, not the actual system release of SAP. |
