Any method or FM to append structure to a table

Hi All,
I have the requirement where in the user can append the new structure to the target structure/table using my interface.
Is there any FMs or methods for appending a structure , so that upon successful appending, I want my interface screen to show up .
Points would be rewarded, if helpful.
Regards,
Anil Kumar .

Hello Anil
Probably function module DDIF_TABL_PUT will provide the means to define the fields of a DDIC structure including appends.
If this function module is not able to create an append in the first place I am sure there will be a standard function module available for this function.
But again, I do not understand why a customer would need such a function? None of the programs and views referencing the table with the modifiable append will reflect the changes inserted by the customer.

Appending structures to the tables

Hi experts,
Why we are appending sturctures to the tables?
can any one tell me the main differences between the APPEND and INCLUDE structures
in Datadictionary.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Ankita,
Customizing Includes
A Customizing include is a structure that satisfies a special naming convention. The name of a Customizing include begins with u2018CI_u2019 and the include is in the customer namespace.
If enhancements are already planned in the R/3 standard using customer-specific fields, such Customizing includes are included. in the corresponding standard table or standard structure. The Customizing include (that is the definition of the structure itself) is usually first created in the customer system and filled with fields by special Customizing transactions.
Customers can thus enhance tables and structures of the R/3 standard system without themselves having to modify the table and structure definitions. This means that these enhancements will not be lost when upgrading. If a table or structure of the R/3 standard system is enhanced with customer fields using a Customizing include, these customer fields are automatically inserted in the new delivered table or structure definition during an upgrade.
If you create a Customizing include for a table or structure, only those enhancements are allowed that are consistent with the enhancement category of the enhanced table or structure. For more information, see Structure Enhancements.
Customers can but need not create a Customizing include and fill it with fields. If there is no Customizing include, there is no error message when the table or structure including it is activated.
A Customizing include can be contained in several tables or structures, so that they remain consistent when the include is modified.
Append Structures
Append structures are used for enhancements that are not included in the standard. This includes special developments, country versions and adding customer fields to any tables or structures.
An append structure is a structure that is assigned to exactly one table or structure. There can be more than one append structure for a table or structure.
The following enhancements can be made to a table or structure TAB with an append structure:
Insert new fields in TAB,
Define foreign keys for fields of TAB that already exist,
Attach search helps to fields of TAB that already exist,
These enhancements are part of the append structure, i.e. they must always be changed and transported with the append structure.
When a table or structure is activated, all the append structures of the table are searched and the fields of these append structures are added to the table or structure. Foreign keys and search help attachments added using the append structure are also added to the table. If an append structure is created or changed, the table or structure assigned to it is also adjusted to these changes when the append structure is activated.
Since the order of the fields in the ABAP Dictionary can differ from the order of the fields on the database, adding append structures or inserting fields in such append structures does not result in a table conversion.
The customer creates append structures in the customer namespace. The append structure is thus protected against overwriting during an upgrade. The fields in the append structure should also reside in the customer namespace, that is the field names should begin with ZZ or YY. This prevents name conflicts with fields inserted in the table by SAP.
Reward if found helpful.

Error while appending structure into BSEG Table

We had appended BSEG table with a ZSTRUCTURE to enable Custom field in MIRO. Subsequently there was a change required in the appended field. After Changing the field there was adjustment required to activate the appended table . However due to slow system performance during that time the Adjustment SE14 timed out. And created inconsistency in BSEG table.
If I Do the Table adjustment now it is showing below error.
We tried to delete the append structure also but the structure is not appearing in the append structure list to delete.
Even if we try deleting the Z structure from se11 it is throwing below error.
Any one could help me out to resolve this..

hi Ramesh,
Please First Check if the Database version and disctionary version are in sync.
Also, it could be the case that you would have enhanced an already existing Append stucture. which might be being used in other BKPF dependent tables.
Please check

Assignment between include/Append structures and Database Tables

Hi All,
I need to find the list of all Append/Include Structures in my system and Their assignment to Tables.
(For Each Append/Include structure, to which table it was assigned)
Is there any way to find it?
Thanks,
Krishna.

Hi,
Go to se11 - data type - give Z* and press F4.
Pop-up will come - click on search for structures - u will get standard structures.
Then take any structure name and check for where used list ( cont + shift + F3) .
U will get all the DB tables where and all they have used that include / append structure.

Append Structure in FPLT table

Hi,
I'm posting this query after going through various posts on the subject.
We are in 4.7 version and would like to add custom fields to table FPLT, to store additional information.
Since there are no customer includes in FPLT table, we intend to add append structure with our new fields.
Want to know if anyone has done similar enhancement? and if there is any negative impact on billing etc?
In some posts the exits RV60FUS1 & RV60FUST has been suggested to use. However,not sure how these can be used to store data in custom fields without modifying FPLT table. Appreciate any suggestion/solution. Thanks

Hi Sanjay,
That is indeed the reason why I wanted you to use a Z table.
You can of course draft the entire set of business processes and how the table needs to be updated in all those scenarios. The scenarios can include
Inclusion of a billing record in the billing plan
Deletion of a billing record
Change of billing percentage, value , date category, billing type, billing block etc on a billing plan
Creation of billing document for a billing plan item etc....
You need to think of all these scenarios and update the Z table. Innovatively, you can also delete the records from this Z table (if that is possible in ur process flow) when the last billing plan item is processed for billing creation. We have such scenarios and we enable the deletion of some Z tables in some our processes

How to append structure into transperant table in sap abap

Hi all,
I have 1 structure already in the data dictionary .
And this structure is already being used by other transperant table for creatin the fields .
Now i need to create new table and wann use the same structure .
when i click on the Append Structure it shows that this structure us already been assign to other table .
So, can i not used the same structure for more than 1 transperant table |???
Praff

Hi Prafful,
You cannot append the same structure, if already used.
I think you can include the structure instead of appending it.
Goto the change mode (CTRL+F1).
Edit -> Include -> Insert.
Hope this helps...

Remove Appended Structure from standard table

Hi Experts,
I have appended a Z structure to table VBAP.
I want to remove it now. How can I do?
Rajiv Ranjan

Hi Rajiv Ranjan,
to delete the append structure from the database table, follow the points
1. Goto se11
2. enter your append structure name.
3. press delete
4. It will delete this append,
also in the original table/structure
where it is used, AUTOMATICALLY.
5.now the data base table VBAP is partially active so
go to tcode se14 and give the table name and click on EDIT button
and click on ACTIVATE AND ADJUST button.
then it will work.
if it is not possible reply to me.

Modify fields in Append Structure

Hi there,
I am driving crazy about append structures. We appended a few fields to KNA1 - e.g. a field that keeps a version number (every time a record changes we want to increment the version starting with 1 at creation time).
We found a lot of material about how to append structures and actually, it's fairly simple to extend KNA1 with append structures. But HOW can someone update those fields?
We tried user exit EXIT_SAPLVV01_001 and BAdI IF_EX_CUSTOMER_ADD_DATA-SAVE_DATA to populate those fields at commit of customer data. In both scenarios, we don't have CHANGING or EXPORTING parameters. So, we tried to update the table directly, e.g.
method IF_EX_CUSTOMER_ADD_DATA~SAVE_DATA .
DATA: w_kna1 type kna1.
select single *
from kna1 " Customer master table
into w_kna1
where kunnr = I_KUNNR.
w_kna1-sap_version = w_kna1-sap_version + 10.
update kna1 from w_kna1.
break-point.
endmethod.
Now, when we execute VD02 the program stops at the given break-point and we see the data changed in KNA1. But the record gets updated by the SAP program SAPMF02D (underlying program of VD02), of course as we cannot manipulate the KNA1 record in the internal table of SAPMF02D.
Is there any way to store information into append structures at save time (within the same transaction) without customizing standard programs?
Many thanks for your help

Hi Maic,
Normally for append structures to standard tables, code is written in user exits where it is mandatory to change existing SAP objects (user exits exist are provided by SAP and you need change key).
For additional functionality to the existing flow of transaction, we use BADIs and customer exits (through CMOD).
Your requirement suits the first point above.
Annyways, try using method GET_DATA in badi CUSTOMER_ADD_DATA_CS. This has changing parameter for KNA1.
Ramesh.

Purpose of Append Structure in DDIC(SE11)

What is the purpose of Append Structure in DDIC(SE11)-Table?How to use this?
Title by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Jan 23, 2008 6:11 PM

Append structures are like user exits provided by SAP to enhance the Standard tables. It behaves like include structure only, but this append structure is taken care in the SAP version upgrage process, automatically. The name of append structure starts with 'Z' namespace..SAP by default proposes the append structure name with the table name prefixed with 'Z'.
It is always recommended to modiy or append the Standard tables using append structure.
It is the standard provided for SAP standard table enhancement.
APPEND STRUCTURE->
Append structures are used for enhancements that are not included in the standard. This includes special developments, country versions and adding customer fields to any tables or structures.
An append structure is a structure that is assigned to exactly one table or structure. There can be more than one append structure for a table or structure.

Runtime acces to append structure

Hi All!
Do any of you gurus know if it is possible to add an append structure to a table allready imported into webdynpro, and then dynamically gain access to the field runtime?
Our scenarios is that we have created an application that makes use of diffrent tables from R/3, but some of our customers have added aditional fields to theese via the append structure.
So to avoid reimporting the RFC and making explicit customer version, is it possible to dynamically add theese append fields runtime using webdynpro code?
Best regards,
Ronni

Hi
I clearly mentioned that take some input and find out some way.
Ok, i answer one by one
it is possible to add an append structure to a table already imported into webdynpro, and then dynamically gain access to the field runtime?
We never import a table in webdynpro , this is one way of access the structure, so that we can work with
DB (for standard CRUD operations and representation ). or talking other than webdynpro perspective if something we want to access from database it gives us a Arraylist further we make it representable for our UI
Our scenarios is that we have created an application that makes use of diffrent tables from R/3, but some of our customers have added aditional fields to theese via the append structure.
So to avoid reimporting the RFC and making explicit customer version, is it possible to dynamically add theese append fields runtime using webdynpro code?
Then why Adaptive reimport function is there so that if some thing change in database after reimport it get reflected in our mapping structure also and of course when ever any changes in data base will happen (adding a new field , changes in datatype ) you must have to do modification in your structure also.
I hope these inputs are sufficient.
