Certainly the biggest one would be when SAP provide new update to standard program you would have to not only apply these changes to your Z program but also monitor standard program all the time after you copied it.

Any new "realease" should be reported to you so you could adapt your Z report.

Hi,

The logic itself won't change. All you need to remeber is when copying the program, system will prompt to select all the objects related to the report which you want to copy. Includes are of special interests here. If you select them you will have to provide new names, and this is what you want to avoid. If left deselected system will copy standard includes with their standard names to your program. One huge advantage of this is that when new update comes only to this include it will automatically update your includes (and entire report) too.

Personally I recommend leaving standard names (includes) unless you are want to apply change to inlcude itself. In this case all changes will be applicable only for program + possibly custom includes (adapted from standard ones). The less changes you make to standard the higher chance your program won't collapse after new changes to standard program arrive.

HI.

Just we have to satisfy the our requirements.some times User exit and BAdi is not using to enchant our requirements so we are copy the STD programs. NO advantages No disadvantages here example.

We can use OSS notes as per SAP new versions if you creating Zreport .

Instead of OSS notes you have to do code.
