How to enable the Numeric pointer in Generic FM based data source

[Prasanth93]

Hi Experts,

I have created a Custom data source and unable to set the Numeric Pointer in Generic Delta.

 tried to give the Time stamp and other fields as Delta pointer as shown below screenshot, but it is extracting same count as Full in RSA3.

Can someone help me in fixing this.

Regards,

Prasanth

Hi Prasanth

According the coding of the FM RSA2_SERV_GENDELTA_MAINTAIN, the numeric pointer button is not enabled, when the extractor type is Q or F2:

  IF     I_RSO2 = 'X'
     AND (    L_S_OSOURCE-EXMETHOD = RSAOT_C_EXMETHOD-QUERY
           OR L_S_OSOURCE-EXMETHOD = RSAOT_C_EXMETHOD-FB2 ).
     G_NUM_POINTER_102 = ' '.
  ELSE.
     G_NUM_POINTER_102 = 'X'.
  ENDIF.
