How to modify existing active user-exit

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have in the Production system, the user-exit for customer-specific data for Purchase Order EXIT_SAPMM06E_012. The include ZXM06U43 already contains some code which is running perfectly.

I need to append some more fresh code in this include. I have tried to use SE38 to change this include. But after appending the code, if I am trying to activate it, I encounter the following error message

"Field "‘’" is unknown. It is neither in one of the specified tables nor

defined by a "DATA" statement."

I am only trying to apply conditional statement on a field which is a parameter given by the exit.

What could be the problem. What are the steps involved in modifying an existing active user-exit. Am I missing any one of those.

Thank you for your responses & time.

Hi Satish,

Thank you for your quick response.

I am checking the value of custom screen field which are appended to PO table EKKO. These were appended through customer include structure CI_EKKODB.

The exit EXIT_SAPMM06E_012 gets the itab I_EKKO which has the customer fields also filled.

I have the following code:

...............begin................................

IF sy-tcode EQ 'ME21' OR sy-tcode EQ 'ME21N' OR

sy-tcode EQ 'ME22' OR sy-tcode EQ 'ME22N'.

CASE i_ekko-zzpotype.

WHEN 'IMPPO'.

IF i_ekko-zzimp_assessmode EQ ‘VOID’.

MESSAGE e000(zhari) WITH ‘Incompatible import assessment mode!’.

ENDIF.

WHEN OTHERS.

IF i_ekko-zzimp_assessmode NE ‘VOID’.

MESSAGE e000(zhari) WITH ‘Incompatible import assessment mode!’.

ENDCASE.

ENDIF.

...............end.................................

When I activate the include, I get the following syntax error:

Field "‘VOID’" is unknown. It is neither in one of the specified tables

nor defined by a "DATA" statement.

Thank you,

Check your single quotes...

<b>IF i_ekko-zzimp_assessmode = 'VOID'.</b>

Copy this line and see...

It may be because you might have copied from an external editor like Microsoft Word...

Hi,

I too suggest the following.Reward points by clikcing the star on the left of reply,if it helps.

Only thing you need to do is declare a variable and assign the value to it and then try using the variable in the program.

data l_void(5) type c value 'VOID'.

IF sy-tcode EQ 'ME21' OR sy-tcode EQ 'ME21N' OR

sy-tcode EQ 'ME22' OR sy-tcode EQ 'ME22N'.

CASE i_ekko-zzpotype.

WHEN 'IMPPO'.

IF i_ekko-zzimp_assessmode EQ l_void.

MESSAGE e000(zhari) WITH ‘Incompatible import assessment mode!’.

ENDIF.

WHEN OTHERS.

IF i_ekko-zzimp_assessmode NE l_void.

MESSAGE e000(zhari) WITH ‘Incompatible import assessment mode!’.

ENDCASE.

ENDIF.

Hi Harikrishnan,

The problem was not in your check and declaring a variable to solve the problem.

Just copy the lines below into a report program and test it:

REPORT ZTEST.

DATA a(10) TYPE c VALUE 'Hi'.

IF a = ‘VOID’.

ENDIF.

You must get the same error that you got earlier...

And now copy these lines in the program and compile it:

REPORT ZTEST.

DATA a(10) TYPE c VALUE 'Hi'.

IF a = 'VOID'.

ENDIF.

This should compile fine without any errors.

Although it seems that these codes are the same the problem lies in the <b>single quotes</b>.

Refer my earlier post...

hi Hari,

i too got the same error..

but i modified a bit and got no errors..

tables : ekko.

<b>data : b(5) value 'VOID'.</b>

IF sy-tcode EQ 'ME21' OR sy-tcode EQ 'ME21N' OR

sy-tcode EQ 'ME22' OR sy-tcode EQ 'ME22N'.

CASE i_ekko-zzpotype.

WHEN 'IMPPO'.

IF <field> EQ b.

MESSAGE e000(zhari) WITH text-001 .

ENDIF.

WHEN OTHERS.

IF <field> NE b.

MESSAGE e000(zhari) WITH text-001.

ENDCASE.

ENDIF.

endif.

Hi Satish,

That was one nice way to trick the compiler which was looking for the data declaration. Your solution worked for me. I am going in for the transport.

Thanks a lot!
