Creating change document for INSERT operation

[Former Member]

Dear experts,

When using change document object for documenting database INSERT operation, do I have to specify the old values?

I have a change document object Z_121_17 for table ZSCARR_CUSTOM. After generating the change document object, I receive a function module and several include programs with table work areas for old values (*ZSCARR_CUSTOM) and new values (ZSCARR_CUSTOM). Below is my code:

INCLUDE fz_121_17_includecdt.
INCLUDE fz_121_17_includecdc.

DATA:
  carrid TYPE zscarr_custom-carrid VALUE 'ZZ'.

START-OF-SELECTION.

  "INSERT
  "Define new values
zscarr_custom-carrid = 'ZZ'.
zscarr_custom-carrname = sy-uzeit.

  "Define general document data
CONCATENATE carrid sy-datum sy-uzeit INTO objectid.

  "Define document header
tcode = 'Z_121_17'.
utime = sy-uzeit.
udate = sy-datum.
username = sy-uname.
upd_zscarr_custom = 'I'.

  "Perform database operation
INSERT into zscarr_custom values zscarr_custom.

  "Create change document
PERFORM cd_call_z_121_17.

COMMIT WORK.

Is my program above correct for documenting INSERT operation? I mean, is there any variable that I didn't specify or I specified incorrectly?

Thanks in advance.

Hi

If you do an insert operation, your previous values, I think that you have in table Y* is empty. You only have values in table X*. If you want know what these values are, see the table (tcode SE16). I remeber that the log tells you who, when and so on the record was created. I think that you have a XZSCARR_CUSTOM and a YZSCARR_CUSTOM for post and previous data. These structures have a field called UPD.

I'm not sure if it could help you

Hi Eduardo,

Thanks for replying. I'm using the default table work areas generated by the system. They are *ZSCARR_CUSTOM for old values (previous data) and ZSCARR_CUSTOM for new values (post data). Below is the data definitions generated by the system in the F........CDV include program.

* declaration for the long text
DATA: BEGIN OF ICDTXT_Z_121_17 OCCURS 20.
        INCLUDE STRUCTURE CDTXT.
DATA: END OF ICDTXT_Z_121_17.
DATA: UPD_ICDTXT_Z_121_17 TYPE C.

* workaera_old of ZSCARR_CUSTOM
TABLES: *ZSCARR_CUSTOM
* workaera_new of ZSCARR_CUSTOM
       , ZSCARR_CUSTOM.
DATA: UPD_ZSCARR_CUSTOM TYPE C.

So, since I didn't put any value to the *ZSCARR_CUSTOM, did it mean that my program in my first post is correct for creating change document of INSERT operation?
