.INCLUDE Vs .APPEND

[Former Member]

HI all,

I am really confused with this .include and .append in my extract structure. I have a .include there with no fields and now i have to append a field to the extract structure but i dont want to write in user exit as- can i fetch the data from the .include structure...?its for costcenter master data standard 0costcenter_attr .

Please advice.

Hi tina,

0costcenter_attr has an include CI_CSKS. CI stands for Customer include, SAP implemented them before the append technology has been developed. For compatibility reason they still exist.

For BW you can use both: append and include. If you need to add new fields, you should prefer the append.

Hi Tina,

you can add a field in the include CI_CSKS with no need to code only if your (added) field comes from CSKS table...(but I think that if you have CI_CSKS empty in CSKS you have to use COOMKS01 enhancement...)

Anyway, try to do a check...

Hope it helps!

Bye,
