Function Module to Update /OPT/VIM_1HEAD Table

Former Member — Fri, 24 Jan 2014 18:31:59 GMT

Hi fellow ABAPers,

I have a requirement in which I have to update the SCAN_DATE and SCAN_TIME fields in the /OPT/VIM_1HEAD table.

The existing values are stored in local time and I need to convert them to CST. The logic for getting the time zones and converting into CST is already in place.

I was finding some difficulty in finding a suitable Function Module to update this header table as I do not want to use the MODIFY statement on the Database Table directly.

Any valid help will be rewarded appropriately.

Thanks in advance.

George Abraham.

Hi Nabheet...

It is possible that the table might not exist in your system as it is part of some OpenText-SAP implementation. I have tried the where-used list, but to no appropriate result.

Incase someone has come across this scenario, it would be of great help.

Thanks.
