Implicit Enhancement for Data Declaration

former_member188001 — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 15:30:57 GMT

Hello all,

I want to add one more field at the data declaration level.

I am following below steps :

1) I went to report and clicked on 'Enhance' button.

2) Then I went to Edit->Enhance Operations->Show Implicit Enhancement Options

3) Then I went to the Data Declaration section and right clicked and choose 'Enhancement Implementation'->Create.

4) Then I declared my variable.

5) When I checked the syntax, it gave me error.

Below is the piece of code.


data:   begin of austab occurs 100,
           ikone TYPE c,
           lgtyp like lagp-lgtyp,
           lgpla like lagp-lgpla,

           abcin type abcin,
ENDENHANCEMENT.

        end of austab.

The error I am getting is "Comma without preceding colon (after ABCIN ?).

Please help me out in solving this .

Thanks,

Salil

Which is the program you are trying to enhance and how is ABCIN declared? Can you try declaring something of type CHAR and see once if you still are getting error?

I am trying to declare this in report RLINV060

I tried declaring it using CHAR, but still the error remains the same.

I have found these steps for Implicit Enhancements. Can you check if oyu have followed the same way?

Prerequisite:

1. Create Composite Enhancement Implementation in your own package (In SE80 open your package, right-click and select Create -> Composite Enhancement Implementation)

2. Giive a name and description for the Composite Enhancement Implementation

Implementation:

1. Open the development object (SAP standard program) you want to enhance in ABAP editor.

2. Click the "Enhance" button (the spiral Icon). The Change Enhancements editor opens up.

3. Chose the menu path Edit -> Enhancement Operations -> Show Implicit Enhancement Options. The implicit enh options are shown in the code with comments such as """""""""""""""""$"$SE:(1 ) I"

4. Highlight the entire line of the Implicit Enhancement Options.Right-click to select the contaxt menu path Enhancement Implementation -> Create

5. In the popup screen enter a (Simple) enhancement name and description. Assign this to a composite enhancement.

6. On clicking the enter button on the popup screen the code ENHANCEMENT and ENDENHANCEMENT gets inserted. You can add your code there.

Hello,

Regarding the following:

ENHANCEMENT 3 CYCLE_COUNTING. "inactive version

abcin type abcin,

ENDENHANCEMENT.

My guess is that abcin in not defined as a type.

I searched for abcin in RLINV060 in our system and did not find it.

Also once you get past the syntax error remember to activate the enhancement.

I have resolved this by putting all the required fields into a structure (SE11) and the include the structure before the End of Types. as follows.

TYPES: BEGIN OF STANDARD_SAP_STRUC.

TYPES: box TYPE c, -> SAP FIELD

stunr LIKE ek08bn-stunr, -> SAP FIELD

zaehk LIKE ek08bn-zaehk, -> SAP FIELD

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""$"$\SE:(1) Typ MRM_ARSEG, End S

$$-Start: (1)----

ENHANCEMENT 1 Z_TEST_ENHANCEMENT. "active version

INCLUDE STRUCTURE YKMRM_STRUC. --> THIS IS MY NEW STRUCTURE WHICH CONTAINS MY ADDITIONAL FIELDS

ENDENHANCEMENT.

END OF STANDARD_SAP_STRUC

Re: Implicit Enhancement for Data Declaration

Correct process is to use :

ENHANCEMENT 1

data: field type data_type,

field2 type data_type2.

ENDENHANCEMENT

This is because the enhancement is not actually where it looks to be, but rather off in another program that is co-compiled.

Thank you for this discussion.

The trick to avoid the syntax error is to start the enhancement with a data: statement.
