Documentation Maintenance Transaction

Procedure

The documentation maintenance transaction maintains and manages documents.

You can change the following settings in the initial screen:

• Document Class

  Choose the document class for editing a single element or a selection list.

• Documentation Type

  Set the documentation type to specify whether originals or modifications will be maintained.

• Language

  Choose the language in which you wish to write the documentation. Note that an already created document can only be maintained in its original language.

To change one of these values, press the F4 key on one of the output fields and choose a value.

You can edit documents using the following options:

• Editing a single object

  To do this you need to enter the exact name of the document in the initial screen.

• Selecting from a list

  If you are unsure of the precise name of the document you require, or if you want to edit several documents with similar names, you can create a selection list for the document class specified by entering the first characters of a document name followed by the wildcard *.

• Selecting from a worklist

  A work list represents the complete set of all objects and documents that correspond to certain selection criteria at the time at which it is generated. It can be saved for repeated use. If system objects are added or deleted after the work list is generated, these are not taken into account anymore. For this reason, it is necessary to refresh a worklist from time to time. You can create or delete any number of worklists. Since worklists are specific to a user, overlapping with worklists belonging to other system users cannot occur.
