Report Writer in a Report Tree

[Former Member]

All,

I am having a problem migrating a report tree from a 3.1i environment to a 5.0 upgrade.

I have been successful with SAP Reports, Custom Z reports and ABAP Queries, but

Report Writer reports pose a problem.

To migrate I used the RTTREE_MIGRATION transaction SAP recommends. Seems this creates Y_… type transactions for some Custom Z reports and ABAP Queries. I have had to create Z t-code for the Queries and then override the generated Y_... transaction with the Z t-codes in the Area Menu.

The problem I am encountering with Report Writer / Report Painter is I believe the generated ABAP name assigned when the report is created seems to be a $TMP reports and the name seems to change whenever changes are made.

I’m not sure if I can assign a Z t-code to Report Writer reports?

Any Suggestions?

<i>Well lots of reports in sales are using GR51/52 I dont think so its name changes every time , llike for example you have cost analysis report in Tr.Co02 as well as you have series of reports in MM like Mc.1 to MC.9 .</i>

You can assign the Z T-codes to the program it `ll work !!

Hope this’ll give you idea!!

I was troubled with the name of ABAP of the the report writer in the 3.1i system, when I looked the RW up in the %.0 I found the name had completely changed. That was thowing me. Thanks again
