Hi All,

I have a scenario where the report should ask for a TR number and rename all the objects in the TR as per certain naming conventions. Is there any way to rename the object in mass programmatically?

If so, please help me with this.

PS: I tried debugging the renaming function used in standard screen. The problem is that each object is going into different standard programs.

Thanks

honestly, it is a very high level of coding. Imagine you have to rename a data element, it is easy, but how to you go to every place this data element was used ? even directly in the code (for example when developer directly specified for field catalog).

and if you forget something, your system could have dumps ...

I have wrote a program that check consistency of Transport Request (based on sandra.rossi code), but it is not simple ... and I only tried to check consistency.
