updating roosfield

[Former Member]

Hi All,

If i need to include certain fields which r present in ext str and not in datasource i learnt from some postings that we should update the roosfield by writing an abap code. where should we write the code, just create some program name in se38 and execute it or is there any other place to do.

Hi Rahul,

What I meant was whenever you change your extract structure you need to resave your datasource. If the fields appear as you want, then you need not write ABAP code.

If only the fields do not have the necessary features like selection, they are hidden, etc then use the ABAP program.

se38->environment->examples->performance examples

and execute the small abap code.

Hi Rahul,

Basically when you change the extract structure you need to resave the data source and the fields would appear. Though you may add them using an ABAP program on the ROOSFIELD table it is always better to resave the datasource. If only there is any problem with the fields like selection, hidden, etc.then try the Abap program.

Hi,

Yes, you have to write a simple Program in SE38 to change this table.
