SAP Note 12483 - OK code in batch input has no effect

Symptom:

The OK code entered during batch input using field BDC_OKCODE
has no effect.

Cause and prerequisites

There are several reasons why the OK code might not work.

1. You made a typing mistake. Valid batch input OK codes are
type /11 or =upd. "/" and "=" are important.

2. The ENTER key has been assigned an OK code in the screen that
is provided with batch input data. click the right mouse button
or check in GUI Painter. The assigned value overwrites the
batch input OK code.

3. The application does not react to the OK code

4. You are processing the session in the foreground. A pushbutton
is active and you press ENTER to continue.
The OK code triggered by the pushbutton overwrites the
batch input OK code.

Solution
1. Correct the OK code.

2. Solution difficult, as the GUI interface of the screen
must be changed. Change user interface with GUI Painter,
transaction SE41.

3. The usage has changed due to a release upgrade.
New batch input must be written for the application.

4. When processing in the foreground, make sure that the cursor
is not inadvertently placed on a pushbutton.
