Problem while generating Update progam for a Change Document Object

Former Member — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 14:13:36 GMT

Hi,

I'm trying to deal with Change Document concept in a R/3 4.6C environment and to establish new Change Document object for my (Z)-table. I haven't using any namespace and created object with name ZTEST. Following the online documentation I came to the point, where I have to generate include program. I made all the nessesary inputs (using Z prefix) but faced

"Function module name is reserved for SAP"

Creating everything similarily using some of our registered namespaces (/somenamespace/) I succeed to generate the Update program and to integrate it in my Z-programs as well.

My question is: is it possible to use Change Document Object-names without predefined namespace - being a regular customer developer, but not an SAP developer - means, if I am allowed to manage programs in the customer namespace (Z,Y, X) only. If yes, how to do this?

Further (I decided not to open a new thread) - generated Update program uses

CALL FUNCTION 'xxxxx' IN UPDATE TASK

for creation of Change Numbers for generated Change Document Object. This CALL doesn't work when I implemented it in my Z-program, but when changed (IN UPDATE TASK was commented) - everything goes well and the system creates records in CDHDR/CDPOS tables for my object class and table.

Why is that? According to the documentation I shoud only fill appropriate variables for the Change Document Object (class, tr.code, etc.) and call generated FM, nothing is pointed out about any possible problems? Am I doing something wrong?

Well, to be precise, I think I have to give a sample:

1. I have a sample Z-table with few fields (their data elements are marked as Change-Document relevant).

2. Using own z-progam I created a new record for this z-table. Also fill all the nessesary variables included in the interface of generated FM for Change Document Object (for example - FM-mane CD_CALL_my_object).

3. I call the CDO FM.

4. Check what is happening (directly in both tables CDHDR/CDPOS or using FM CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ).

Further, I perfom the steps from 1 to 4 updating the created in previous loop record in my Z-table.

In both cases if the FM 'CD_CALL_my_object' is called IN UPDATE TASK nothing happens, but in case of direct call (without addition IN UPDATE TASK) the system behaves as expected. Well, obliously I can change the generated code for our production needs, but it doesn't seems to be the correct decision - in case of next possible modification of the Change Document Object definition, respectively in need of re-generation of the code.

Any hints are wellcome.

Thanks in advance.

"IN UPDATE TASK" resolved by myself. The one should explicitly call 'COMMIT WORK' from Z-program after CALL FUNCTION '...' IN UPDATE TASK in order to get changes in the CDHDR/CDPOS commited. The key in this issue for me was to check the documentation of CALL FUNCTION :-).
