Hi Experts,

I need a small confirmation.Is modifying standard message class is having any restrictions?

Currently in SE91 message class number 002 i need to modify text .Is it ok to directly do and transport or need to take any extra precautions?

Hi,

it is not good to modify the message of standard class..

it is better to add new message..instead of modifying..

Why do you need to modify, can't you use a message in the customer range? What is the message class?

In general modifying a message text is much less critical than program code, of course. Check the where-used list, what makes sense in one context might not make sense in another.

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for the suggestion.

Actually message class name: HRTIMOOREC.

In that one message always shows what ever leave action is it shows as 'Number of days leave 5. Apply sick leave for HR'.

Requirement is just to remove 'Apply Sick Leave for HR'.

so that it wont confuse the clients who are applying for some other leaves..so request is to just modify

that number 001.

So in general need to modify SAP programs we required Access keys here its not required i guess...

Now Thomas is there any things need to taken care or general Message class how we do the same and Transfer? Thanks

hi,

if it is client requirement and messages are similar and meaning is same you can go ahead and do it.

Hi,

Check if any message with 4 &s is there.

In general, a generic message will be there in every message class.(Usually msg number 000 or 999 Not necessarily exact)

say if you have a msg & & & &, then in you abap , you can write something like this:

message e999(HRTIMOOREC) with 'your text1' 'text2' 'text3 'text4 ggkgjxgZJBxj'.

Hi sas,

I don't have this class in "my" ECC 6.0 system, but your change doesn't sound critical, as you're not changing any & placeholders. Put the change in a document for reference during the next upgrade (as it might get overwritten) and just do it (no access key required).
