Modifying Documentation

The following document classes can be modified:

Document class	Maintenance transaction
Data element	SE61, SE11
Text in dialog	SE61
Data element supplement	SE61, SE11
Function module documentation	SE37
Message	SE61, SE91
Report/module group, Logical database	SE61, SE38
General text	SE61

For example, you want to change the documentation for a data element. Choose Utilities ® Documentation (SE61) from the ABAP Workbench menu. On the lower portion of the screen, enter Data element as your document class and the name of your data element in the Data element field. Now choose Change and make the changes you want. The following dialog box appears:

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

Now assign a name within the customer namespace and decide if you want to modify or enhance a text that already exists (choose the Original text radio button) or if you simply want to use one of the headers stored for this document class in the standard. If you decide on the latter course of action, choose Template (with headers).

Choosing Change from the Utilities ® Documentation menu displays originals only if no modified text is available.

You can reset modifications to their original form by deleting the document from the customer namespace.

Note

You can modify documentation in the Function Builder by choosing the Function module doc. pushbutton in change mode. A dialog box like the one pictured above appears. Function module parameter documentation is not supported in the Modification Assistant.
