 Declaring the Operations

Prerequisites

The contents of the Infotype Operations view (V_T582ITOPER) are required to conform with a global naming convention – [nnnn]_[vv]_[ssss]_operation_name – which ensures that separate operations will not accidentally overlap within the same infotype(s). Therefore, whenever you declare an operation in this view, you must follow this convention, where:

  • [nnnn]

    signifies the infotype number,

  • [vv]

    signifies the infotype version, as defined in the Entity Table for Infotype Versions (T582ITVERS)

  • [ssss]

    signifies the subtype (where required), and

  • operation_name

    provides a meaningful description of the operation at hand.

Procedure

In order to declare your operation, you must also declare an input and output structure for which valid Data Dictionary entries exist. If you fail to declare these structures, then the operation will only process one infotype container, and it may alter the contents of this container in an unforeseeable manner.
