Hi all,

I have one local template for that i have added some extra fields as per current requirement (not in place of reserved).
But the existing development will affect due to new fields

So i need to know is their any routine (logic) to over come this,

Hi,

I think you might have added new fields in between already existing fields in your local template. If so then you have to create a record in CONVERSION.DETAILS specifying the old and new position of company code (CO.CODE), from which position to start adding the new field and how many new fields are going to be added.

Once done by specifying all, you have to verify the record so that conversion is applied to old records in that template.

You can find some existing records in CONVERSION.DETAILS, which helps you to create a new record for your requirement.

thanks durai,


i tried with CONVERSION.DETAILS, but i am not able to inputt local table name in that application.
When i tried to input geeting error message "FUNCTION NOT ALLOWED FOR THIS APPLICATION" , i think its only for core tablbes.
Pls let me know other solution pls

Then you have to write a mainline routine or a service to select all the records in that particular template and rewrite (Convert) the records based on the new fields.

Read the record insert new FM (mostly this is the delimiter) based on the number of new fields and write the record.

Logic is same.

thanks a lot Durai,

thanks jpb,

will try this and get back to you
