Infotype Mandatory Fields

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am trying to retrieve the mandatory fields for specific infotypes.

I looked at the table T588m, but don't fully understand how it works.

For instance a pass the table to the RFC_READ_TABLE and get data returned like below;

800 ,MP000600 ,2000 ,224 ,2022, + -+ +- - ,0000,null

And from what I can see the values mean:

. = optional field

+ = required

• = display

- = hide

But how do you know which fields in the infotype it is referring to if it just returns a string

+ -+ +- - ,?

thanks in advance

Did you try the function call HR_READ_T588M?

Thanks for the reply. I will have a look at it.

Is there any other way to get the mandatory fields of an infotype besides getting the

mandatory fields of a specific screen for an infotype?

thanks

Thanks Suresh

I tried that function call, can you tell me exactly how that function works? What I am trying to achieve is, for a given infotype, when you are looking at the sap gui, any field that is mandatory has a tick box in it.

Is there any way to retrieve this information from sap?

I need to know the mandatory fields for a given infotype for any employee?

Thanks

Stephen

Hi Suresh,

To add to Stephens requirement, mandatory fields differ from country to country for the same infotype. i've been looking at feature IVWID and V_T582V, but cldnt get any insight on mandatory fields.

The FM u suggested HR_READ_T588M does not provide info on fields those values corresponds to. Is there a way to find out?

Pls advice.

You will have to mimc SAP' code that reads the T588M config in PA30..Take a look at the following code in the program FP50MF20 & dig through the perform re588M subrotine..

form modify_subscreen using mss_repid type sy-repid
                            mss_dynnr type sy-dynnr.
* ^============================== XRGUNI ==============================^
  local:  pspar, t588m, psyst.
  data:   mss_dbild like psyst-dbild.
*
  move mss_repid to pspar-repna.
  perform re588m using mss_dynnr cprel-subty.
  if sy-subrc = 0.                     "Eintrag gefunden!?
    move t588m-dbild to mss_dbild.
  endif.
  perform screen_modification using mss_dbild.
endform.
