Issue modifying Infotype 0002

Former Member — Wed, 02 May 2007 14:24:12 GMT

HI, I'm modifying infotype 0002, by creating a new field called P0002-GBDAT, just the same as the standard field.

I need to hide the standard field and use mine.

But when i do that, and i try to create a new record, i've got the error "Invalid gbdat"

I debugged it and the standard field p0002-gbdat is empty.

the only thing i do is set the invisible flag to '1'. It seems to be that when i hide it, its value is cleared, but i don't want this.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

What is your actual reqt? why did you create a custom field with the same name as a Std field? I am curious..

If your reqt is to hide the date of birth from the User, there is no need for an extra field. You can do it by maintaining the View V_T588M via SM30/31 for screen 2000 of the program MP000200. Once in, you can select the 'hide' radiobutton for the screen field P0002-GBDAT.

I hide all fields of this block because i need to create an extra-field for this block, so i create a copy of all fields of this block, and i hide the original block.

But when i set the invisible flag of the STANDARD field GBDAT, and i try to create a new record, this field is empy.

so the only thing i need is to know how to hide GBDAT and avoiding this behaviour.

Can u help me?

Now I understand what you are trying to do.. honestly, I wouldn't take that approach.. as it will get too complicated once you start the Module Pool Program changes..I would go the normal route of adding a custom field using Tcode PM01.
