Cannot change or delete custom structure

Former Member — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 07:58:33 GMT

Hi,

I created a custom structure via se11, the package is stored in $TMP and it has only 1 field MANDT without component type. When I tried to delete or edit the structure in dev box but it is popping this error message all the time 'You cannot edit object R3TR TABL YFI_00001 with the standard editor Choose 'Display object' or 'Cancel'.'

Any inputs is highly appreciated.

Hello Marc

Seems to me like a bug. If you want to get rid of this structure you may try fm DDIF_OBJECT_DELETE.

Alternatively, you may try to modify the DDIC object using transaction SE80 (display your local objects).

Regards

Uwe

I tried to execute the function module, do you know what should be the value of the TYPE for a structure?

Hello Marc

Please be aware that this DDIF function modules are usually internal functions that should not be used by customers directly (except in such emergency situations) because you may cause inconsistencies with them. I am sure if you debug the DELETE function in SE11 you will come across this fm.
