Why is this field used for in each infotype ? Is there any function module to block a registry in an infotype ?

Thanks in advance.

This field is used to lock infotypes record. You can use function module HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION to maintain this field.

Lock infotypes ?? What does it mean?? Because If a do block a registry, I can access the infotype registry by PA30 and I can modify it. It does not tell me I can not do it. What exactly can I do if SPRPS is 'X' and what I can't?

The "Lock Indicator for HR Master Data Record" is used to prevent the master data to be used by some treatment like the payroll. Hopefully you can change them yourself via PA30, as i suppose you are allowed to lock/unlock infotypes (*). (PA30 permit the lock/unlock of infotype via menu Edit, Lock/Unlock)

See documentation at <a href="http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_02/helpdata/en/48/35c9224abf11d18a0f0000e816ae6e/frameset.htm">Locking/Unlocking Master Data Records Using Fast Entry</a>
