Add Selection Fields in RSA3

[Former Member]

Hi All

0FI_GL_4 is a Business Content datasource and when running test extractor RSA3 the only selection fields are BUKRS (Co Code) and FISCPER (Fiscal Period).

In RSA6, edit 0fi_gl_4 for field BUDAT - Selection, Inversion and Field Only are greyed out, the only editable box is Hide Field.

Is it possible to add BUDAT to the selections in RSA3 by changing the field attribute Selection to X (Selection adjustable, Visibility Set) for the BUDAT field?

If yes, what Table or transaction can I use to amend the BUDAT field to change the field attribute Selection setting to X?

OR is it not possible to change it because it's Business Content or SAP Hidden?

A straight answer would be appreciated, as I'm frustrated trying to find out!

Thanks in advance, Helen

Hi

You can change it in RSA6 itself,it will ask you for a transport request,create a transport request for this,if It won't allow you at rsa6 you can do it through program as joe explained..

Hope it helps

Hi,

Write a small abap program to update the table ROOSEFIELD for the required fields for the selection in the RSA3 if you have not any option to change it by RSA6 tcode.

Also F4 help for the field can be added by abap program if there is no 4 help available for the selection fields.

Hi Helen,

no reason for frustration, may be I can Help:

Properties of fields in a datasource are controlled by table ROOSFILELD in R/3. Please read F1-Help in SE16 for fields

'selection' and perhaps 'notexrec'.

You can modify this fields according to your issue. I did it several times and didn't face any problems (SAP note 389459). Just test it.. by creating and running a report :

..

Sample

REPORT Z_MOD_ROOSFIELD.

UPDATE: ROOSFIELD SET SELECTION = 'X'

WHERE OLTPSOURCE = '0FI_GL_4' and OBJVERS = 'A'

AND FIELD = 'BUDAT'.

Have a nice weekend
