Use HR_MAINTAIN_MASTER_DATA or write a BDC to update IT0016 in SAP then use that in your report............

Thanks,

Nag

Use FM

CALL FUNCTION 'HR_READ_INFOTYPE'
    EXPORTING
*   TCLAS                 = 'A'
      pernr                 = w_list-pernr
      infty                 = '0016'
*   BEGDA                 = '18000101'
*   ENDDA                 = '99991231'
*   BYPASS_BUFFER         = ' '
*   LEGACY_MODE           = ' '
* IMPORTING
*   SUBRC                 =
    TABLES
      infty_tab             = p0016
* EXCEPTIONS
*   INFTY_NOT_FOUND       = 1
*   OTHERS                = 2

hi Sachin

thanks for your answer

but as i said, the data is not in the system im working, a separate SAP HR system exist.

So, from the current non-HR system, i have to get the values in the SAP HR system(they are 2 separate systems)

In that case you need to write RFC function module to fetch the data from other system.

Prema,

please create a RFC enabled FM which is copy of HR_MAINTAIN_MASTER_DATA in case you don't have any dynamic actions defined fot IT0016.

If you have nay Dynamic actions defined for IT0016 then go for BDC As I said..

Get entries in your SAP first
