if you have already projects with the old mask, system will not allow to delete.

I am also assuming that the double seperator // is a typo - don't think that is allowed

Hi Virendra

// is a typo error.

The projects are created in testing client and not in this.

Still, it has not allowd for change. I have deleted the entire and created with same ID.

But i am not sure, whether this will get transported to other client where projects are created.

By deleting all projects, is it possible?

hi guys,

I would like to change my project coding mask already existing, and used (so i have wbs element created already)

using transaction OPSJ

i wanted to add 5 character at the end of the existing codification

Before : AA.XXXXXX.XXX.XXXX

After : AA.XXXXXX.XXX.XXXX.XXXXX

of course, i have the SAP scary message.

i did look for OSS note 520944 - and it looks like i can do it (see the note extract)

If you want to change an existing editing mask in Customizing, the

following rules apply:

o You can only add one new alphanumeric section to the editing mask.

o You can change a numeric section into an alphanumeric section of

the same length (see Note 521625).

o You can change the special characters of the editing mask. If you

use the solution of Note 441749, you have to update the affected

objects on the database (see Note 441749)

as, honnestly the note are note really clear on this subject,

Does somebody ever done this change in production system ? your feedback ?

I have changed lenth of coding mask by one number 0 by using note 453280 using strategy 1, As there is log of manual intervention is required so, suitable if project / WBS no. is less.
