hi Siddart,

2nd statement is correct and first is false because append can be used as many times as possible ...

Hi,

Here are the answers to your queries,

1. Yes, More than one append structure can be created,

2. No,Append structure is local to the table, if you want to use the structure in multiple tables then you will have to create a CI include,

Hope this answers your queries,

Rgds,

Explanations provided from SAP Help

1.) False

An append structure is a structure that is assigned to exactly one table or structure. There can be more than one append structure for a table or structure.

If you want to append the same fields to several tables or structures, you can store these fields in an include structure. In this case you must create an append structure for each of these tables or structures and include the include structure there.

2.) False

A Customizing include is a structure that satisfies a special naming convention. The name of a Customizing include begins with ‘CI_’ and the include is in the customer namespace.

A Customizing include can be contained in several tables or structures, so that they remain consistent when the include is modified.

Hi,

I have experienced that after appending an structure the table gets locked and we can not add any more Appends.

Any hints??

What do you mean by the table gets locked? Did you get any error message while adding more than 1 append?

It just gets greyed out.

Ok..What I am doing is, i opened a sap repository table say MARD, and in the end of the table I am adding a structure with the APPEND button that we have on the top. After adding a structure when I tried to add another structure with APPEND button it does not work. I do not remember the message right now , but the table which was in the editable mode went to read only mode.
