Hi,
Session method.
1) synchronous processing.
2) can tranfer large amount of data.
3) processing is slower.
4) error log is created
5) data is not updated until session is processed.
Call transaction.
1) asynchronous processing
2) can transfer small amount of data
3) processing is faster.
4) errors need to be handled explicitly
5) data is updated automatically
Session method is to populate the data by filling BDC structure and keep as session to process from SM37 to post in appropriate Transaction.
Call transaction method is to post the data directly into the Transaction from an Executable program.
Session method SAP defined Function modules.
U can see more help on the differences in the SAP help.

Hi
Call transaction is used when the volume of data is limited...
If the volume of data is very large, then session method comes handy...as the screens are populated with all the data and the session is created, which can be processed in the night, when the load on server is less...

hi,
just to add a bit to above responses, in session method, no sy-subrc is returned due to the basic characteristic of session method. 'Call transaction' always returns
Sy-subrc.
