Checking for a hidden characteristic

Former Member — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 10:42:51 GMT

Hello,

I am trying to get information from BAPIs regarding hidden characteristics. When I use the BAPI_CHARACT_GETDETAIL, I get the correct information about a characteristic being hidden (No Display).

I have a situtation where a class overwrites this value and thus hiding the characteristic. Inspite of using BAPI_CLASS_GET_CHARACTERISTICS and BAPI_CLASS_GETDETAIL, the correct information regarding the hidden value of the characteristic is not given. I always see the value as unchecked (i.e, no X for No Display), although I know that this class forces the characteristic to be hidden.

How do I get this information from the BAPI as it doesn't seem to work? Have any others tried this?

Hi!

If a standard BAPI is not working, then you might ask OSS, or look for a note on the SAP help site (service.sap.com/notes)

Here search for the BAPI name, and check out the relevant notes.

Hi Tamás!

I actually was already thinking of OSS but though would rather ask the forums if anyone had the same problem before
