Error while adding new field in the Segment type thru WE31.

Hi All,

I want to add one field in the Z segment type using WE31.But i am getting the error message as

'Current segment definition <segment name> can no longer be changed and The current segment definition

is already released.You can either add a new segment definition or cancel the release of the current segment definition'.

The current segment defenition which i am trying to change got the SAP release of 45B. But the system has upgraded to Ecc6 recently.

I tried going to the edit menu and cancel the release, but still it is not allowing.

Whats the impact of the Add button(Add version) and creating a new version?.will it create a new version for ECC6?.

Points will be rewarded

regards,

neslin.

Yes, since the release of the current segment is 45 and you are now in a ECC6 system you cannot cancel the release (because there is no ECC6 version). Just use the add version button to create a new version for ECC6. Once you have that you can add fields and set the release to ECC6.

If you later on need to add more segements you can then cancel the release for your ECC6 segment and add the fields and set the release to ECC6 again (because you already have an ECC6 segment)

Hope that explains it,

Michael
