An API (M_PCK_BOM_PROC.LOG_DETAIL_INFO) is provided to record customized log messages from within the BOM procedure. After execution of the procedure, the log messages can be viewed on the Maintain BOM page. The API takes four parameters, which are as follows:
-
The <KIND_OF> argument is a message type of indicator for classifying the log message. You can use any three characters for the value of the <KIND_OF> argument. Do not use the argument values ‘MAR’, ‘WRN,’ or ‘ERR’ because these values are reserved for system internal logs (‘MAR’ - information log, ‘WRN’ - warning log, ‘ERR’ - error log).
-
For the <TEXT> argument, you can use any text value that you want to have as a log comment.
-
For the <RET_VAL> argument, you can use any text value that you want to have as a log comment returning from the BOM procedure.
-
The P_LP_ID argument must always be kept as the last argument in the list. This variable is passed as the first argument to the BOM procedure.
The first characters of the character string returned through the variable V_RET_VAL from the BOM Procedure must not be Error.
