Hi

When ever you are modifying a Standard report/program, those changes are to be updated with proper documentation and change numbers in the code.

These things are done with Modification assistant.

You have to use, INSERT, DELETE etc buttons on menu to change the code and to use.

If you switch off this, it will become as Open code like SE38 EDITOR and the changes can not be recorded.

To record the changes it is used.

Reward points if useful

Type (Behavior at Upgrade, Transport)

<b>Description of Function</b>

<b>Modification</b>

In order to use the Modification Assistant to simplify the upgrade process, you branch to a special modification mode whenever you are modifying objects from the standard in an ABAP Workbench editor. Originals are initially protected in this mode and can only be changed with the help of the additional pushbuttons that are placed at your disposal.

All changes that you make to the system are logged with the help of the Modification Assistant. This provides you with a detailed overview of modifications that is easy to read and that dramatically reduces the amount of effort needed to upgrade your system.

The Modification Assistant offers support in the following areas:

ABAP Editor, Screen Painter, Menu Painter, text element maintenance, Function Builder, ABAP Dictionary (table and structure enhancements using append structures, data element attribute modification) and documentation (modification of documents from specific classes).

Range (Validity)

Hi Dinesh,

To modfy the std programs SAP has provided the Modification assistant to clearly indicate the modification process(like Insert/delete with numbers).

Once you switched on it, you can't make it switch on .

once it gives the complete code accessable(SWITCH OFF), then it won't make it to ON again

Reward points if helpful.
