Field not appearing in datasource

Question

Hello Experts,
I have enhanced extract structure with a new field. written code to populate the field in CMOD.
But this field is not apperaing in datasource.
I have used debug mode in RSA3 and found that field is getting populated but it is not appearing in output.
Can anyone please help.
Thanks ,
Saurabh

These are steps to appending a field, just in case one was missed:
Step 1: Append structure via RSA6, by finding datasource and then clicking on the Functional Enhancement button; this will open up the append structure.  NOTE***If this has already been created, you can access the append structure via SE11 (usually ZA and then the structure name)
Step 2: Add field to the append structure and activate
Step 3: Go back into RSA6 and find the datasource and click on the change icon.
Step 4: Validate the the Hide field is not check for this new field that you added and that the 'Field Only Known in Customer Exit' is checked
Step 5: Save this datasource
Step 6: Open CMOD, enter your project that you have created and then click on components and display
Step 7: Choose EXIT_SAPLRSAP_001 for transactional data enhancements (ZXRSAU01) and EXIT_SAPLRSAP_002 for master data enhancements (ZXRSAU02)
Step 8: Activate associated cmod code above and put a breakpoint (hard or soft one) in your code to validate that it is accessing this cmod code that you created.
Step 9: RSA3 and execute in debug mode until breakpoint is hit
If all of the steps above are executed, this field should be populated.  There may be an instance that the view of your RSA3 extraction is not showing you all the fields because of the display of this output but if you highlight a record and then click on the magnifying glass above, you will see all the data in that record but this view will only show you the populated fields so if their is not data, there is probably something wrong with your cmod code.
