t-code /n/...

[former_member647278]

what does it mean that some t-codes work only with lo / n in front?

Hi, Nick

/n is basically starts a new transaction in existing session...

but /n/XXX it not T-code /XXX it's namerooms

/ is the escape character to let the transaction know that the next character is not part of a transaction but a predefined command. for example

• /n - ends the current screen
• /h - starts the debugger

If you have a transaction that is part of a namespace “/namesp/xxx“, you need to put “/n“ in front, otherwise it will try to execute the command „n“ first and then start the transaction „amesp/xxx“

And /o followed by a transaction code opens said transaction in another session. 🙂

If the transaction is /namespace/tx then you must use /n/namespace/tx. If the transaction is just tx, you can use tx. If you're in a program with it's own pf-status defined, you have to use /ntx anyway.
