Append std Struct with CI Include

[Former Member]

Hi Guys

I have a requirement where in i have to append a stand structure (RIHQMEL_LIST) for notification list (IW58).

The problem is the OSS note I have which states the guideline on how to do it says

"you should append customer-defined fields to the corresponding tables using the corresponding "CI_" includes only. In order to issue the fields from the CI_QMEL include on the notification list, you have to expand the RIHQMEL_LIST structure with the corresponding fields."*

I have no idea what CI Include they are talking about. I would have used the standard way of doing an append structure.

Anybody knows what this means?

Thanks

Hi Sameer,

Go to SE11 and display the structure RIHQMEL_LIST.

In the structure, right at the end, you would see an already INCLUDE(d) structure starting with CI_.

Now that CI_... structure is an existing SAP data structure (maintainable) from SE11. Just add the new fields you need into this structure and they shall get assigned/attached to RIHQMEL_LIST structure since CI_.... structure is already embedded there.

You could say SAP has already APPEND(ed) a structure and provided it to you.

Cheers,

Aditya
