Found the source, not the program???

Particulars: ECC 6.0 system on an I-series, using ASCII kernel 700.

Hello

An odd situation came up. Using SE38's Find function, we were searching for code logic in program SAPLV61A, the search string being the value WERT

We received a hit on appears to be a program called EI_ISH_PRICING and sure enough, the appearance of the code verified what we were looking for. However, this is where the odd situation comes in. We doubleclick on any hit source code lines and we get a green check message "Program V61A not found"...what??????? How can I get a hit on source code of a program that does not exist? Is this an example of a deleted program called EI_ISH_PRICING that still has data in the version management tables?

Please advise

Well, I'm not sure exactly what is going on, but SAPLV61A is the program for function group V61A, so there is in fact no program by the name of V61A.

Why it would think this is a program is beyond me.

Hi Rob, thanks for the fast answer.

Well, the program name (according the find hit list) is called EI_ISH_PRICING. The name is under a heading called "Program/Enhancement".

When I doubleclick on the source code to view the entire source code, what should have happened was a branch to either EI_ISH_PRICING or some section of SAPLV61A using SE38. Instead I get a message called "Program V61A not found".

I know EI_ISH_PRICING is not a function because I tried viewing it under SE37. This leads me to the last conclusion...if it is not a program, it must be an enhancement. Now does that mean it is an enhancement coded in transaction SMOD or CMOD? Not likely because those enhancement modules have to start with the letter Z.

I'm going to play around with it some more...if I cannot find the answer, I'm going to open a ticket with SAP on Monday and ask them to investigate. Maybe the program index linking the includes together are muddled.

Your message is "Program V61A not found". But V61A is a function group, not a program.
