| Create ASCII File Fields and Relations (daxch0203m000) |  |
| Use this session to generate ASCII file fields and relations for an exchange scheme automatically. You can copy ASCII file fields from definition files and ERP LN table definitions, but the definition files have precedence over the ERP LN table definitions. To generate ASCII file fields and relations complete the following procedure: Enter the code of the exchange scheme. Select a range of ASCII files. Use the check boxes to define how to create the ASCII file fields. Use the check boxes to define how to create the Table and Field relations. Click Generate to start the process. This process can also run as part of a job. Click Add to Job to start the Job Manager. Note A ERP LN table field receives the value based on default if during an import procedure a ERP LN field and an ASCII file field do not match. For example, the ASCII file contains less fields than the ERP LN table. This means that the value specified in the data dictionary is used for this field. A ERP LN table field remains empty if during an export procedure the ASCII file and ERP LN table do not match.

Fields | Description
Exchange Scheme | Enter the code of the exchange scheme. The exchange scheme is created in the Exchange Schemes (daxch0501m000) session.
ASCII File | Enter the code of the ASCII file.
ASCII File | Enter the code of the ASCII file.
Overwrite ASCII File Formats | If this check box is selected, the existing ASCII file fields will be overwritten.
Create From Definition Files | If this check box is selected, the ASCII file fields are copied from the definition file. Note The Create Based on Table Definitions check box is automatically selected.
Create Based on Table Definitions | If this check box is selected, ASCII file fields and relations are generated based on ERP LN table definitions if a definition file is not available. If a ERP LN table with an identical name exists, the ASCII file fields are copied from the data dictionary. Note This check box can only be selected if Create From Definition Files check box is selected.
Create Batch | If this check box is selected, a batch will be created. The batch code can be defined in the following field. You can only create import and export relations if this check box is selected. The import and export relations are created in the defined batch.
Create Import Relations | If this check box is selected, table and field relations for import of data will be created. Relations are only created if the ASCII file codes are equal to existing ERP LN table names. Note Existing relations are overwritten if the Overwrite Existing Relations check box is selected.
Create Export Relations | If this check box is selected, table and field relations for export will be created. Relations are only created if the ASCII file codes are equal to existing ERP LN table names. Note Existing relations are overwritten if the Overwrite Existing Relations check box is selected.
Overwrite Existing Relations | If this check box is selected, existing relations are overwritten.
