how to active modification assistant to a Z program?

[Former Member]

When I maintain system, I found a Z program has actived modification assistant, I can only changed it like change system program, use button "Insert", "Replace","Delete","Undo" to make new modification.

I'd like to know, how can we active modification assistant to user program? For normal user program, the Modification operations is disabled, so I can't active modification assistant to my program.

Another question, can we switch off the modification assistant to that user program? Is that will only switch modification assistant off for this program, or for all program?

Thank you, that is a good document, but it is very simple, and it only said: "You can switch off the Modification Assistant for single Repository Objects.".

My question is: can I switch on modification assistant for a Z program? I saw the menu under Edit->Modification Operations are disabled, so how could the other actived modificatioin assistant for a Z program?

Hi Lui,

I think modification assist will only activated when the original system (in object directory entry of your custom program) is different to where you do the changes.

Try to change origial system of your custom program R3TR-PROG to XXX from SE03 - change object direcotry entry-change original systems.

Once you did this change try to go in change mode so you can see modification activated.

thanks

hi,

Please change your Z program in edit mode and then the modification assistant will work.

Your request looks strange to me

SAP uses the Modification Assistant to ease the process of upgrade, but why you need to use this option for custom programs ?

Hi,

but what would be useful to open a repair on a custom program in order to use the modification assistant?

To track the changes there is the version management version.

The modification assistant is designed to manage the changes to the standard.

Kind Regards.

Thanks for all answers!

I also think it is not useful to switch on the modification assistant to a Z program, it only make later modify because more difficult.

But I can't switch on modification assistant to a Z program, so I feel very strange, and wonder about how could the other switch on it. Still don't know, but it doesn't matter.

What matters is the original system of an object. If it is the system you are currently logged on to, then there is no modification assistant available.

Check the original system of your program via "goto -> object directory entry" inside the ABAP editor.
