Cancel Release for Basic Type

Hello Experts,

I need to edit existing fields in an IDOC Segment. If I need to do this, I need to cancel release for the Basic Type to which the IDOC is associated with. When I try to cancel release for the Basic Type, I get the message 'The release of the basis types cannot be reset'. The reason for this message is that The basic type was released in basis release 640 but the current basis release is 702. I have tried Add Version with which I can only add new fields but I'm unable to edit existing fields. Can anyone let me know an alternate way of editing the fields of the existing segment?

Regards,

Felix

Hi Felix,

two proposals to change...

1. If there a reference data element for the idoc field, try to change this if in Z namespace and not used anywhere else. Than see how is the impact to the idoc segment.

2. Check FM SEGMENTDEFINITION_UNCLOSE. This FM perform the unlock. Its easy to understand where are the information who aviod the change. Than you can reconsider what is needed to do.
