How do I assign a program to a new package?

[Former Member]

Hi.

I have tried to assign a program to a new package by

1) Go to SE80 --> right click on the program name --> Select Other Functions --> Select Change Package Assignment.

However, I got the error message: <b>Cannot extend package ZXXX</b>. "ZXXX = package name.

Does anyone know how I could reassign a program?

Thanks.

Hi,

Go to SE38. Go in change mode. From the menu Goto------> Object Directory Entry.

Then a pop up will appear. Go into change mode and provide the new package name and save the program and activvate.

You can reassign individual objects from one package to another. For example, you can create and test ABAP programs in your local private object list (package $TMP), and then reassign them to another package for transport.

Procedure

You can change the assignment of an object in the Object Navigator as follows:

Select the required development object in the object list.

Choose Other Functions à Change Package Assignment from the context menus (right-click).

The Reassign Object dialog box appears.

Enter the name of the new package.

Choose to confirm your entries.

If the object was not already assigned to a change request, you must enter a change request.

Enter a valid change request and choose .

hi kian,

Go to SE38,

1) Enter Program Name

2) Goto Program -> Copy

3) Enter Target Program Name ..... It cannot be the same name as source program

4) Then press Copy

5) It will ask the Package Name.... Enter ur new package name

6) Later on rename ur program as source program name in the new package.....

I hope this will satisy ur requirement....

Reward me if useful........
