Thanks in advance.

My Requirement is somthing else....

Say I have 999 material and they are starting from 200500001 to 200500999. Now i want 999 new materials with exect attributes that they are having in 2005.....the only change i.e. it should be 200600001 to 200600999.

e.g if there is an existing material code ie. 200500001 then i need 200600001 with the same attributes of 200500001.

Regards

Ravi
