I am trying to add few more fields in goods issue form WASCHEIN like KOSTL and SAKTO but i am not getting the values and i am not even able to debug the form. Can any one suggest on this.

Lakshmi,

If you want to have different records from the same table in work areas at the same time for some req. then you will follow this notation.

for example.

tables: mseg, *mseg.

select * from mseg (into mseg) where key1 = xxx

and

select * from mseg (into *mseg) where key2 = yyy.

The two work areas hold different records at the same time from the same db table.

But it is obsolete now.
