IW32 - Maintenance work order. Component Status

Hi,

In the transaction IW32, Components TAB - if a component is selected and the status(icon <i>) is selected; it takes you to a 'Display Status' screen.

1. I want to know how the system retrieves the current status of the component. Most probably there is a function module which returns the current status of the component.

2. If I 'RELEASE the order', and the component status is checked again, the status is updated to 'REL' Released. Can anyone tell me where and how it is updated. As far as i know, no database tables are updated in this operation.

Thanks and regrads,

Vishal
