HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION invoked in infotype's PAI

Question

Hi all,
Can i invoke the HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION function to insert a record in another infotype for the same PERNR in the PAI of an infotype??

Answer 1

Hi joseph,
1.  The usage is like this :
DATA : p0008 LIKE TABLE OF p0008 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA : ret TYPE bapireturn1,
       k TYPE bapipakey.
CALL FUNCTION 'HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION'
  EXPORTING
    infty                  = '0008'
   number                 = mypernr
  subtype                = '3'
  OBJECTID               =
  LOCKINDICATOR          = 'X'
  VALIDITYEND            = p0008-endda
  VALIDITYBEGIN          = p0008-begda
  RECORDNUMBER           =
    record                 = p0008
   operation              = 'MOD'
     operation              = 'INS'
  TCLAS                  = 'A'
   dialog_mode            = '0'
   NOCOMMIT               = nc
  VIEW_IDENTIFIER        =
  SECONDARY_RECORD       =
IMPORTING
   return                 = ret
   key                    = k
2. Further
3. if we call this FM from some independent program,
   we need to lock the pernr using
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_EMPLOYEE_ENQUEUE'
     EXPORTING
          number = mypernr
      IMPORTING
           return = l_bapireturn.
4. But since u may call this FM from user exit,
   the pernr will already be locked,
   and u need not use point no 3.
