Hi Friendof mine...;)

LDB though a classic approach provides very flexible way of data extraction, authorization, screens etc. So in my opinion you should stick to using it in some part, in order to get that services provided by standard. I doubt there is an OO approach to substitute the same entirely.

Anyhow, if you want to transit to an OO HR, I would suggest to read about [Decoupling Infotype concept|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/4f/d52552575e11d189270000e8322f96/frameset.htm]. There is a separate framework available which you can use for master data reading/writing. It is a bit complex at first but serve an alternative to standard FMs like HR_READ_INFOTYPE , HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION . For more refer a [Writing Infotype Records subsection|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/43/21d1014bba2bebe10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm] of above link.

To sum up. This framework won't provide you full range options which you have in place by means of LDB. You can however mix classic approach (with GET PERNR events, LDB selection screen etc) with new OO approach for data extraction. The latter becomes recommended by SAP, but is more complex and requires preety good understanding of basic OO concepts (you mostly work with interfaces so the actual code is not so transparent to you). Anyhow I think it's worth trying, even just for sport.
