IDoc segment definition problem

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am currently studying IDocs and I am now creating a Segment type. Based on my readings, when I create a custom segment type, the prefix should be Z1... and the prefix for the segment definition must be Z2...

This is where I am having a problem. For example, when I create segment Z1IDOC1, enter field names, and then save the segment, the segment definition created is Z1IDOC1000 and not Z2IDOC1 as it should be.

Why does this happen? Is there some configuration that I need to do before the segment definition name will default to create with Z2... as the prefix? Thanks.

I will give points to those who will be able to give me a response.

Hi Yogesh,

Thanks for your reply but I am asking about how to change the name of the segment definition because it is not edittable in my case.

I am creating a custom segment type: Z1IDOC1

When I save, the segment definition created automatically is: Z1IDOC1000

I want it to be: Z2IDOC1

Is there a way to make segment definition to have a prefix of Z2 instead of Z1? Thanks.

hi eric,

Please check again, the segment definition is created automatically start with z2,

for example

if you create segment type Z1SEG

the segment definition created is Z2SEG000

if you create ZSEG

then def is ZSEG000

please check and let me know
