Differences

Hi,

What is the difference between Append Structure (&)

Include Structure?

[former_member189059]

append structure is one where for a table we use append structure and within this we implement the required fields along with its properties.....These are custom defined fields

include structure is one which is been appended to a table, but already the include structure has fields with its properties....These are SAP defined fields.

Hi,

APPEND STRCUTRE Is not a modification

Where INCLUDE strcutre is a modification.

APPEND STRUCUTRE is possible if strcutre is marked as can be enhanced by SAP.

You can modify a strcutre using INCLUDE if you have the access key.

APPEND STRCUTRE does not change the underlying database table.

Where as INCLUDE strcutre changes the table.

Append structures can only be assigned to a single table.

Append structures are created in the custome rnamespace ( ZZ or YY)

In case of new versions of the standard table during upgrade, the append structures are automatically appended to the new version of the standard table

Append structures can not be used with cluster and pool tables

Append structures are created in transaction SE11. Display the standard table fields and press the Append structure button.

When you press the button, SAP sugests a name for the new append structure. After you has accepted the name,

a screen will be shown where you can enter the new fields.

Appending structure to a table means

1) that structure is reserved to that table

2) you cant add any fields to the table

Including structure to a table means

1) you can make use of same structure for different tables to include

2) you can add fields to the table after including a structure to the table

Hi Sivananda,

An append structure is a structure assigned to just one table. When a table is activated, all append structures for the table are found and appended to the table.

Append structures are used to add customer fields to SAP tables

An include Structure is a structure which we include under another structure which is already defined

An include structure is NOT the same as an append structure. I tried in a datasource to add a field via an append structure, however I didn´t see the field in the data source. When I changed it to an Include structure everything was ok

see the link for more info
