Edit append to table draw

[Former Member]

I have an append to table draw that I need to populate with data when creating document records (draw) using bapi_document_create2. How can I include the append fields, or at the very least, edit them later, without doing direct table updates.

Hi Andrew,

I had a quick look at bapi_document_create2, but couldn't find a predefined structure for own extensions. But this would be necessary - if there aren't structures for own extensions, you can't populate own (append-) fields.

Anything else as direct table update? Did you add your fields somewhere into a screen? Then BDC would be an option. But there as to be a field-filling somewhere (never had the luck to get content by a standard move-corresponding - especially because append fields start with ZZ) - if no user-exit or anything else provides content for your fields, then there is definitely no other way to direct update.

By the way: as long as you have checked now all possible ways to populate your fields and didn't find something: direct update won't lead to inconsistencies. In case of own append fields (without dynpro connection somewhere), direct update is not much worse as an update of a z-table.

Regards,
