Chapter 8. Creating Extract Files and Interfaces with the SAP Query Tool
| In this chapter
You may have a business need to create what are often referred to as extract, or interface, files. These types of files are often position- or character-location-specific files that are transmitted from one system or solution to another in a prearranged format. It is not common knowledge that the SAP Query tool can be used to create these files, so users often wait for programming staff to custom-code an extract file for them in ABAP. The benefit of using the SAP Query tool to produce these files is that it does not require any technical programming skills and is easy for an end user to do. You should read through the following section of this chapter, and if you determine that you will not be using the SAP Query tool to produce positional files, you can skip this chapter and proceed to Chapter 9, "Creating Basic Calculated Fields with the SAP Query Tool." |
