How does data enter into infotype?

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I have a doubt regarding basics here; When we enter data thru PA30, how does data get inserted in table structure. I mean is it FMs or plain SQL statements?

The reason y it came to my mind is in my company they insert data in PA9990 but what happens is there is this program that is run, which fetches the value frm some itab and puts it into my infotype using a customised FM called ZHR_UPDATE_9990. Is it the same for all infotypes or different?

thanks and regards,

Gaurav

Hi,

PA30 always uses FM to insert data in any infotypes. It doesn't use any SQL statement directly. Since your FM is custom FM for custom infotype, you need to check what code has been written inside the FM ZHR_UPDATE_9990.

Generally FM 'HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION' is used.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Sarika.

Hi Gaurav,

for inserting data into infotypes we can use FM 'HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION'. but as 9990 is a custom infotype so u can call ur customized program....

infotypes from 9000 to 9999 are custom infotypes....

Hi Gaurav,

R u using <b>HR_ECM_INSERT_INFOTYPE</b> in your FM to insert record in the Infotype.
