Difference between Customer Include and Append

Former Member — Mon, 13 Feb 2006 18:16:06 GMT

Hi all,

We are using a special customer namespace /XXX/. Regarding to this I can not use the Customer Includes (CI_Include) in the SAP tables anymore to add own fields.

To create my own fields anyway I create a append in the /XXX/ namespace and add my /XXX/fields to this Append.

It is working, but I want to know if there are situations where the use of an append instead of an include can cause errors?

What is the difference between include and append?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Fabian

NO, because they are the same thing, you use both includes to enhance a standard structure.

But the Append Include is only used in the structure where it's defined, CI_INCLUDE is used by enhancement so perhaps it can be used in many structures.

So you have to use CI_INCLUDE only if you need to you its enhancement.

If the name of include begin of CI_, you won't have any error if that include doesn't exist.

You can try to build a Z-TABLE and insert the include CI_ZMYINCLUDE after try to check your table: any errors'll occur.

The same this is for the include with the name begining with ZX...

Hi Max,

Thanks, for the information. So if I understood you right, I can not use the enhancment function anymore, if I can only the append?

Thanks,
