Developer Key

Former Member — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 16:56:52 GMT

Hi all,,

I am experiencing a strange issue..

I used developer key for all the abap developments, and there is a requirement for changing the existing Query, It is only allowing me to display the query report, when I try to change, it is asking for the Access key and after I give the key which I used for other development, it is saying incorrect.

Can anyone help me out with this..

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks-

if it's an existing query provided by SAP, you will need a key from them.

is it a custom or standard query?

hi,

I believe that you are trying to change the standard program ... which pops for a access key to modify ... if you wants to go ahead changing that program ... Consult your basis consultant for generating you the key which helps you to change the code ..

Hi Robert

t-code : ZQMM036

Program : AQAFZ_MM========ZQMM036=======,

what is the procedure to know if that is the standard or custom query,, since the tcode is starting with z, It should be a custom query.

Thanks-

Hi even though the T code starts with Z its not mandatory that the query is also custom made... so looking at ur program name its sure that its a SAP generated query so you need to consult ur basis team to give you a ACCESS KEY to make changes.

I believe every custom query generated from SQ00, SQ01 starts with A.

It is not advisable to change the generated progarm of a SAP query whether it is SAP delivered or custom, doesn't matter. The reason is that, anyone that uses the query through SQ01, can re-generate the query , which will then regenerate the underlying program, which will blow away your changes. You should convert this query to a custom ABAP report program if you need to have full control of the code.

Hi Rich,,

I am trying to go in change mode not to change the query,, but I need to translate that report in different language.

what is the procedure,, kindly suggest.

Thanks-

Actually, all translation should be handled by the framework itself. Log on to the system as another language, run the query, and see if the column headings are translated. They should be, since the headings come from the ABAP dictionary.

Thanks to all of you for the quick replies...

Rich,,

I tired that, and the selection fields on the selection screen are getting displayed in EN.

That's the reason I am trying to translate them manually..

Thanks-
