Help ! OM Infotype Update Error

Question

We were trying to update the OM infotype using the RH_UPDATE_INFTY function module. But we are getting an exceptional error - 'ERROR DURING UPDATE'. Please help us on this.
The process which we used is.. Select the existing infotype record (IT 1029) and make modifications in some of the fields and pass the updated record to the FM.

Hi Radha,
Instead of  going for RH_UPDATE_INFTY, you can go for the function module HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION.
Before using this function module you need to LOCK using ENQUEUE_EPPRELE, so that no other person cannot make any changes to that infotype.
After the changes, you must UNLOCK the infotype using DEQUEUE_EPPRELE.
Sample:
CALL FUNCTION 'ENQUEUE_EPPRELE'
EXPORTING
pernr = wa_hrrecord-pernr
EXCEPTIONS
foreign_lock = 1
system_failure = 2
OTHERS = 3.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
CALL FUNCTION 'HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION'
EXPORTING
INFTY = '0015'
NUMBER = P0015-PERNR
SUBTYPE = P0015-SUBTY
OBJECTID = P0015-OBJPS
LOCKINDICATOR = P0015-SPRPS
VALIDITYEND = P0015-ENDDA
VALIDITYBEGIN = P0015-BEGDA
RECORDNUMBER = P0015-SEQNR
RECORD = P0015
OPERATION = 'INS'
TCLAS = 'A'
DIALOG_MODE = '0'
IMPORTING
RETURN = RETURN
KEY = KEY.
CALL FUNCTION 'DEQUEUE_EPPRELE'
EXPORTING
pernr = wa_hrrecord-pernr.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
