IDoc Editing Segment

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have a requirement where the field length in one of the fields in the segment (Z1PXXXX) has to be changed. Since the segment definition is in different SAP release, i created a new version and tried to edit it. But all the fields from the older version is grayed out.

Could you please tell me how to change the field length?

Thanks,

Sri

It is always better to use IDOC either by loading the structure as an IDOC or by External Definition.

Loading it as imported message will lead into consistencies for future.

If you are not able to change the field length, try to take care of it during Mapping.

One option is to dowload the xsd and edit it to reflect the length that you want. However this means that it will result in an xsd being imported into PI rather than the actual IDoc.
