Functionality
You can use this method to check out a document and any existingdocument structure for display.
You can use the "GetStructure" button if you want to check out thedocument structure aswell. The "DocumentStructure" table is used todefine how many documents should be checked out in the documentstructure (certain documents may be checked out in current status).When the documents are transferred to the function module using the"DocumentStructure" table, only the documents that you have preselectedare checked out.
Restrictions:

• Additional files are not supported.

Description
Return structure for messages

Description
Document structure with checking out
- GetStructure = 0 document structure is not taken into account
- GetStructure = 1 document structure is exploded on one level
- GetStructure = 2 document structure is completely exploded

Description
Name of the front end computer that the BAPI is called from.
You only need this if the function module call takesplace from anexternal system. The appropriate front end type is determined from DMSCustomizing using this computer name.

Description
Path or data carrier name of a server where the document is to bestored. If a document is checked out with a document structure, all thedocuments are stored under this path.
You can only enter the directory here.

Description
Original that is to be checked out (1 or 2).

Description
Originals that have been checked out
The document files table is filled with the data of the originals thathave been checked out. This means that the programmer can check whathas been checked out. If a document in the structure has not beenchecked in, the absolute file name showing where the file can be foundis here.

Description
Explicit entry determining which documents should be checked out.
If a document structure exists for the document, you can use this todefine which documents are also checked out.
- Document number = "" -> Check out all documents
(according to the explosion level)
- Document number = defined -> Check out documents entered
Only if "GetStructure" is set appropriately.
