Functionality
This method converts the data in method parameters from the internaldata format into the external data format (domain conversion).
This type of conversion is required to prepare data for the external
format, for example, to display it on the screen. The data to beconverted is specified and transferred in the parameter DATA. After themethod has been called, the converted data is also stored in thisstructure.
If no conversion routine is specified in the ABAP Dictionary for aparameter, the internal format is returned unconverted.

Notes
This method is obsolete as of Release 4.5B and should no longer beused. Instead use the method:
BapiService.DataConversionInt2Ext1.

Error messages occuring when the method is called or when the data isconverted are returned in the parameter RETURN. The documentation onthis parameter contains the return codes and their descriptions.
The method BapiService.DataConversionExt2Int converts data from theexternal format into the internal format.

Description

In the fields of this structure you can:

If errors occur calling the method or converting the data, an errormessage is returned in the parameter RETURN. To display the entry in arow in which an error has occured, a value must be entered in the fieldROWNUMBER in the parameter DATA.
