Hello Friends,

1.Are there Field Exits in SAP 4.7?

How can we debug field exits?

2.What is the latest version in SAP?..How it differs from 4.7 version?

Hi,

Yes, they are available on 4.7 :

eg with 'maktx' :

1)submit report RSMODPRF

2) create field-exit MAKTX

3) create fm FIELD_EXIT_MAKTX

( take a look at OSS 29377 which explains the details about Field Exit )

And Check documentation of program RSMODPRF in SE38.

You won't be able to Debug the field-exit !

Hope this helps,

Erwan

Hi a,

1. How can we debug field exits?

R/3 does not allow.

2. For that purpose,

what we have to do is :

a) put some message statement inside the code of field exit.

b) the message can be of type I or W (so that dialog box will come in message)

c) this message statement should be the first line, without any if condition.

d) with this, we can check atleast, that the exit is getting fired or not

e) we can also use such message, to check some variable value

regards,

amit m.

Hi,

Perhaps you can help. I am trying to use a field exit on the following:

- Transaction HUPAST

- Data element VBELN_VL

It does not seem to work for that transaction, but for example in VL02N it does work.

Would you be able to help explain why it does not work in HUPAST?

Thanks.
