creating Special Conversion Routine

Former Member — Sat, 11 Aug 2007 17:36:37 GMT

Hi!

what are the steps for creating Special Conversion Routine?

I have created FM CONVERSION_EXIT_VAKEY_INPUT via se37, is it a mandatory thing to create FM CONVERSION_EXIT_VAKEY_OUTPU?

Why my Special Conversion Routine VAKEY is not visible in the list among other routines? How to create it?

Will reward,

Mindaugas.

other way could be to use one of the existing Conversion Routines with description "to be defined", but when I open any of such FMs, source code is light grey and it is not possible to edit it...

For example Conversion Routine S2KM5 has description "to be defined", so I try to edit FM CONVERSION_EXIT_S2KM5_INPUT, but it is not possible, what to do?

Any ideas?

I guess you are trying to edit SAP Standard Function module,if you want to modify SAP Standard Function module ,you need to have access key..

I would suggest that copy Standard one into z Function module ,now modify that one as per your requirement.

in my case it is ok to modify standart one and I have an access to SAP Market Place, but I am not asked for the key, when I press "Change" button, why?

And the source code becomes light grey with no possibility to change it....

Of course it is better to create z Conversion Routine, but how to do it?

I have created 2 FMs: CONVERSION_EXIT_VAKEY_INPUT and CONVERSION_EXIT_VAKEY_OUTPUT but this is not enough, because VAKEY is not in the list of among Conversion Routines.

Okay ,keep the cursor where you want to modify,and now click on Insert (it is push button ,it will be available on Tool bar).

once you click on insert button - you are able to modify the code .

the whole process nothing but modification assitantance.
