Modification Assistance

Hi Guru's
In modification assistance when we have to insert certain code then we get it as follows:
*{ insert                 Req no
*}insert.
Can i do the case as shown below please take a note the outer nsert is done by someother user and also the req no is different
*{ insert                 Req no
"some abap code.
*{insert                   req no
*}insert
"some abap code.
*}insert.
but
when i try this in the insert created by me (inner) doesn't take the req no and even i get a message modification bracket structure is inconsistent.
please tell me what i ma doing is correct?

Hi,
While changing the sap standard  apllication,the first time you give access key it will generate the request
and from there after it iwll not ask any request.you can simply write the code where evre it's appropritae.
if it is transported to production then if you try to insert code it will ask for the request.
Check the  below links,might be useful.

  • Trapped by the completely useless Modification Assistant !!!!!!!

    Hi all you SAP gurus
    Some background....
    Our system SAP r/3 4.7
    We have a number of SAP screens we have modified to include functionality for Quick Address. The modifications were a couple of extra screen elements and a bit of code. This allows the user to populate address information via "Quick Address" into the sap address screen. This worked fine until the latest SAP support pack (SAPKB62070) amended the screens in question (Function Group SZA1 screens 0201 and 0301). The result of the support pack was that our bespoke code was replaced by the newly modified SPack code and screen changes. Modifcation assistant was on.
    The problem....
    So we thought, easy, all we have to do is re-apply our bespoke code to the now changed screens. However, the Modification Assistant had decided that that's not going to happen !. The Modification Assistant refused to allow any editing of the screens at all. So we checked SPAU and found entries for SZA1 screens 0201 and 0301. We accepted the modifications for these objects in SPAU which created a  transport request. The entries in SPAU were cleared and we got the green tick. The Mofication Assistant proudly anounced modifications were now possible, Horray !
    But No ! All the Modification Assistant had done was replace the support pack changes with the old code, it had lied, the objects were still unmodifiable. Now we had old unmodifiable code.
    To fix this we used the version control to put the support pack changes back in. This worked, however, the entry in SPAU for these onbjects now returned so the Modification assistant now refuses to allow changes to the screens and code.
    We are now in the fabled "Modification Assistant Loop of Death !" We cant modify because there are entries for these objects in SPAU. If we sort theses out it puts old code back in and we still cant modify anything. If we restore the correct version a new entry is created in SPAU preventing any further modification.
    And No....
    We can't switch Moddifcation Assistant off for this object, It won't let us (so don't suggest that and expect any points !!!!)
    My general perception of Modification Assistant....
    A good idea, but appallingly implemented by SAP, it it is very far from "assisting"  anybody.

    Another issue with shuffle:
    3 - The podcasts are not taken into account
    That's because Podcasts are set to "Skip on shuffle". If you really wish to change that behaviour, in iTunes select the Podcast episode and choose *Get Info/Options* and turn off the tick-in-the-box for *Skip when shuffling.* Then Sync the iPod to make the changes on the iPod as well. (Skip on shuffle is the default and most Podcast listeners prefer it that way.)
    Thanks, I wasn't aware of this option set by default. Don't see the point of having this option set as default... podcasts are not in the same spot by default... Anyway I know now what to do to shuffle my music and podcasts
    the fiend wrote:
    I'm not sure I've understood your first post, about the shuffle feature. Are you doing this in iTunes or on your iPod? (Not that it should make any difference, they should work the same way.) If I have my iPod set to shuffle albums and I start the iPod playing at (for instance) track 3 of "an album", then it should play track 3, then 4 then 5 and so on to the last track of that album. It will not play tracks 1 or 2 from that album. Then it will start at track 1 of "another" album, at random and usually by another artist and play it from track 1 through to the last track. Are you expecting another album _by the same artist_ to be chosen at random? If so, try going into the menu as follows: *Main/Artist/<artist name>/(play).*
    I am playing the songs on my computer, either the mac or the pc. When I set "shuffle by albums" I would expect iTunes to randomly choose an album in my library and then randomly play the songs of the album. I don't want it to pick the first song all the time and play the other ones in order.

  • Table for Modification assistant

    Hello Gurus,
    When we modify a standard program or program imported from other system, the system will popup for Modification assistant.
    Then we will add our coding either using modification assistant or by turnign off modification assistant.
    Now my question is, which table will hold the information about the modification assistant for a particular program.
    Because, if we have turned modification assistant off, then the program will not popup modificaiton assistant, the next time we change the program. If we have used modification assistant, then it will popup for modification assistant.
    So, definitely, this stuff is stored in some DB Table. So, please let me know how this stuff works or in which DB Table, information about modification assistant is stored.
    Thanks and Best Regards,
    Suresh

    Hi,
    If you find entry in table SMODISRC means, you have done modification operation off for your object.

  • Modification assistant or similar concept for Z program

    Hi,
    I have a requirement where I want to switch on the modification assistant for Z programs.
    The requirement is such that I want the user to allow to make change for only a particular part of the code the rest part should be frozen for any changes. I think Modification Assistant will partially provide this.
    But it seems that MA cannot be used for Z programs. Is there any other way to do this ?
    Please pour in your thoughts.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards

    Hi,
    Why dont you try to create 2 objects ...1 main program with editor lock and the other 1 include program where in all the part that the user can change are there..much like the user-exit concept
    Just a suggestion.

  • SPAU issues with: Without Modification Assistant: No versions found

    Hi,
    We have upgraded from SAP 4.7 to SAP ECC 6 with Unicode.

    Hi,
    in SPAU you will be getting three things..
    1>Green light 2>yellow light and 3>Red light
    when the upgrade takes place if you see any object under Green that means the changes are automatically carried to the new version from older version
    for yellow it has done partially and for red you need to do manually copying the code to the new version.
    You have an option is "RESET to original" if you do this , the code will be reset to what SAP provided in the new version. Your old code won't be there.
    Please go through the below link to understand about SPAU and SPDD.

  • SAPGUI 7.20 patch level 5 problem with Modification Assistant

    I'm using SAPGUI 720 patch level 5 on a Windows 7 sp1 machine. There is a serious issue with modification assistant not working properly.
    For some reason it does not focus on the correct code line and automatic comments are not inserted either.
    Anyone else facing this issue?

    Hello Jason,
    sounds as if this could be related to the correction from note 1569250 "Focus set to textedit toolbar on roundtrip".
    I assume that a textedit control is used in the Modification Assistant - right?
    If so the easiest solution for you is to apply hotfix 2 we published  couple of days ago (hotfix 2 is available on SAP SMP).
    Best regards,

    Once you switched off it, you can't make it switch on .
    once it gives the complete code accessable(SWITCH OFF), then it won't make it to ON again.

  • Permanently disabling Modification Assistant

    Hi everybody.
    Is there a way I can permanently disable the Modification Assistant for every custom development object I ever modify ?
    The Modification Assistant is extremely annoying and the project has other means of dealing with change management.
    The main issue Im facing is that everytime I use Find & Replace in a program, the Modification Assistant is switched on automatically for every include that is modified using Find & Replace. This also means that the next time I want to use Find & Replace, the includes with Modification Assistant switched on can not be modified until I switch it off, as they are locked.
    Is there a way I can completely disable this annoying tool for custom development ? Or at least make sure it never gets switched on once I switch it off for an include.
    Thanks for any hints,
    Stano

    I should have researched the problem a bit more.
    It turned out the includes were a copy of SAP standard and had the source system in TADIR still 'SAP', so a quick mass change of source system was all that was necessary.

    Please find below, answers to your questions:
    1.What objects will come in SPAU and SPDD?
    Ans: All the objects which are modified, after tansporting to the current system,
    will be listed in SPAU and SPDD. SPDD contains the list of all modified Data Dictionary objects, like tables, dataelements, domains,view...etc. The rest of all the modified repository objects will be listed in SPAU.
    What happens to the modifications done in the older version when we upgrade the version? (with Modification assistant and w/o)
    Ans: After the initial upgrade happens, we have to do adjustments from SPAU/SPDD to maintain or reset the changes. That is, from the list of objects in SPAU/SPDD, you have to either carry forward the changes to the new version, by choosing the option ADOPT CHANGES (available on right click) or RESET TO ORIGINAL (available on right click).
    Will they come in these transactions?
    Ans: yes, they will be listed in these transactions, after the BASIS updgrade activity.
    And what if we apply some patches(Notes) to the system? What is the impact of these patches to the SPAU transaction?
    Ans: Patches will be supported by the version upgrade. In case of notes, we have to verify whether these notes are supported by the new version (you can go into http://www.service.sap.com/notes to verify this. Also, we have to analyze whther the code in the note is already incorporated in the new version. In this case you can ignore the chanes choosing RESET TO ORIGINAL option
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/2e/6d66587d9011d396b60000e82de14a/frameset.htm
    If you have applied any OSS notes to objects in your system, the hot package may overwrite these objects.
    SPDD is used to identify dictionary objects
    and
    SPAU (repository objects), will identify any objects where the hot package is overwriting changes you have made through OSS notes.
    You must check all objects identified in SPAU and decide whether you need to reapply the OSS note or reset the code to the original SAP Code.
    Also once the changes have been done you would see a green traffic light.
    If you double click on the modified object it will show you a split window where on the left you will have the original version and on right the modified version. So you can choose which to keep and which to reject. You may keep the modified version incases where you know that the notes will only be pakages in the next version.

  • Modification Assistant Problems

    Hello All,
    I am trying to change an SAP program with the modification assistant. I clicked on the "LINE-SIZE 132." line and pushed REPLACE.
    This is what it brought up:

           MESSAGE-ID FR
           NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING
    *{   REPLACE        DEVK940652                                        1

           LINE-SIZE 132.
    *}   REPLACE
           LINE-SIZE 132.
    As you can see, it commented one line and moved another 2 copies of the line down. Now I have 2 uncommented lines.  It allows me to edit 1 of the Lines.  If I try to activate, I get an error saying the "LINE-SIZE" is not defined.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    Hi,
    In such case you can do one thing . Go to the same path
    Menu bar
    Goto --> Modification Operations -->Undo Modification
    (If that is not possible, use Delete Line Area)
    Either undo the changes or delete the statment "LINE-SIZE 132.".
    The again go to the same path and click Insert Line Area and add your code here.
    Thanks,
