HI,

Set a break-point within the Form : compare_versions in the include : LSVRLF04. YOu will get to know how it works. The Report name is RSVRSRS3.

Thanks & Regards

if you want to get an idea how the version comparison in SAP is done, you can have a look in the following include: LSVRLF04

Routine: COMPARE_VERSIONS

As a brief explanation, object versions (e.g. program code) are stored in compressed format in table VRSX (and a few others), then it is "just" a matter of taking two versions, filtering out the differences and displaying the result.

P.S. for program code it is actually table VRSX2

Uh oh, thanks a lot for that insightful comment, Thomas.

So does this mean the actuals report (active version) is stored in table REPOSRC while his versions are in VRSX2?

Not sure if you're being funny here...

...but yes that's how I understand it and hopefully how it is

Oh no, i wasnt funny, cause i learned something new i rather was full of joy.

Doesnt happen too often that some simple statement brings you further in terms of knowledge and well in the SAP scanario, knowledge is our business, at least as consultant/developer.

Thanks
