Create a program documentation dynamically

Former Member — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 10:21:55 GMT

Hi abap-gurus,

we have a big report-collection (> 1500 reports) which are not documentated.

But the customer now want to have for each report that there is a small documentation (blue Info-Button in selection-screen).

At least date of the last change of the report, author, short-description and so on - all that what I can select out of system tables.

The problem is: I know how I can create this doumentation via dialog, but how I can create program documentation (sapscript) dynamically in background?

I know the tables DOKIL, DOKHL and DOKTL but no way to create a documenation via automatism.

Any idea for my problem?

Best regards,

Christian

I don't know a proper (i.e. "official" or SAP released) way to do this. An ST12 trace showed that a call to function module DOCU_UPDATE does the actual update of the tables you mentioned.

You could check the where-used-list to find out how this needs to be called and maybe wrap your own Z-function or method around it.

Hi Thomas.

Thanks for your answer.

I have played around and are currently testing, but it seems that I can create / modify the documentation with the FB "DOCU_DATEUP"

The template of the documentation in sapscript I get via "DOCU_READ" - also if it doesn't exist.

Then I could expand the documentation with my content and update (insert) it through "DOCU_DATEUP".

The tranport I would organise over "RS_CORR_INSERT" with e071 entry...
