Hi,
we have added new Z-fields to the BAPE_VBAP structure which field-lengths now exceed the 960 character limitation of the BAPIPAREX structure. Is there any save way to extend BAPIPAREX with e.g. a new VALUEPART5 field?
Will this be safe in the entire SAP-System? Has anybody successfully done this so far and can share his/her experiences?

If you get no answer, I don't advise to extend it.
Instead, try to find fields that are not used anymore to make room.
Otherwise, you can create enhancements (enhancement framework) to transfer fields from your calling program to the BAPI procedures.
Note: BAPIPAREX can be used in IDocs; as IDoc segments are 1000 characters, you can't extend much (don't extend the IDoc table!)

Hi Sandra,
thanks for your reply - much appreciated. Since I'm not an IDoc expert, in fact I've never used them, I would like to thank you for this side note. After searching some SAP coding for any occurrencies of this, I came to the conclusion that extending it is not a good idea.
cu,
Michael
