Enhancing standard infotype

Former Member — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 09:18:25 GMT

Hi all,

I'm a noob to ABAP and for my project I needed to use the SAP standard table, but I also need to append some custom fields to the table. For now I'm using the table pernr and infotypes 0001, 0002, and 0006 for my programs.

1) I tried adding fields to the CI_p0002 include in the p0002 infotype, but when I tried activating it, an error pops up saying that I needed to convert the table if I wanted to do that. But the new fields are still created.

2) After than when I want to view the contents of the pa0002 table, I can't because of internal error.

I can only view the contents after deleting all the changes I made.

I know for a fact you can't directly edit a standard table and needed to use the include provided. But I still can't. Converting the table using SE14 would effect other users' programs within the system.

Can anyone help me on how I can append custom fields in the include or in the table without having to convert everything?

Thanks!

Double click on CI include and enter the new felds and activate that structure

then go to PM01 tcode and generate objects.

5.click yes

6.add the custom fileds starting with Z and the corresponding data element to the Zfields

7.Simply save and activate the structure.

8.Now activate the table also.

9.go to se14 and adjust the standard table also

1.) Go to transation PM01.

2.) Go to the tab "Enhance Infotype"(The third tab)

3.) Give the Infotype No as '0002'.

4.) In SubObjects select CI Include and click Edit.

5.) Give the field you need to add in the CI_P0002 structure.

6.) Save the structure and activate it.

7.) Go back and in Subobjects select the Screen Radiobutton,then modify screens 200,300 accordingly.

now your structure is appended into the std table.
