BIG Code Generator - Batch Input
& BAPI-based Interface Generator
Technical Characteristics
- Multilingual: English/Spanish.
- 90% reduction in Batch Input/BAPI-based
input development time:
- By generating complete Batch
Input/BAPI-based Input programs that require some or none programming logic
for data input.
- By generating in an 80% programs
that require some programming logic not in the scope of this application.
- By standardizing programming
code thus reducing time-spent in program modification.
- Provides a graphical interface
to relate fields of one or more input files/tables with one or more SAP transactions/BAPIs.
- Provides a tool to retrieve transactions
recorded using transaction SHDB. This tool makes possible to import data from
SHDB-generated-programs as well as from existing sessions (be them generated

tables & other sources which can also be SAP tables using an Open SQL
model).
- Allows saving the specification

- Allows registering functional
data (development responsibles, module, percentual program status).
- Allows printing a functional/technical
report for the program.
Status Collector

- Allows fast-opening of any program
by double-clicking on the name of the program.
- Automatically calculates overall
