The IDocReader component is used to write IDoc documents.

Syntax

nsoftware.InERP.Idocwriter

Remarks

The IDocWriter component allows you to create a document from scratch. The component allows you to create an IDoc document one segment at a time. Here's how a document would normally be created:

1. First, load a schema file into the component. You can use ImportSchemaFromSAP to retrieve the schema from SAP or ImportXMLSchema if you have the XML schema saved locally.
2. Specify where to write the document by setting the OutputFile property or calling the SetOutputStream method. If neither is set, the data will be written to the OutputData property.
3. Start a new document by calling StartIDoc.
4. Write the Control Record Data before writing any segments, call WriteControlRecord. Note that you will need to set the fields in the ControlRecordData property before calling this method.
5. Create a new record data segment by calling StartSegment.
6. Write all the data for the segment by creating new fields using the WriteFieldValue method. Note that each segment can contain one to many fields.
7. Once you are done with the segment, call EndSegment.
8. Repeat steps 5-7 until you are finished writing the document.
9. Once you are done with the document, call EndIDoc.

Example IDocWriter Code:

idocwriter1.StartIDoc()
idocwriter1.WriteControlRecord()
idocwriter1.StartSegment("Segment1")
idocwriter1.WriteFieldValue("Field1", "Value1")
idocwriter1.WriteFieldValue("Field2", "Value2")
...
idocwriter1.EndSegment()
idocwriter1.StartSegment("Segment2")
idocwriter1.WriteFieldValue("Field1", "Value1")
...
idocwriter1.EndSegment()
...
idocwriter1.EndIDoc()
