Function module HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION

The HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION function module is used for the Maintenance of HR infotypes, such as inserting, changing, deleting data etc

Parameters Explained
Here is a list of the fm's parameters and how they are used, obviously not all parameters will be used depending on what function you are performing i.e. insert, change, delet etc

infty - Infotype being updated

objectid - object id from infotype

number - Personnel number

validityend - validity end date

validitybegin - validity begin date

record - infotype record values to be updated, inserted etc (will be structure of infortyoe you are updating)

recordnumber - sequence nunber from infotype record you are updating

Operation - describes what operation is to be performed
COP = Copy
DEL = Delete
DIS = Display
EDQ = Lock/unlock
INS = Create
LIS9 = Delimit
MOD = Change
INSS = Create for Actions is not converted to Change

nocommit - commit yes('X') / no(' ')

dialog_mode - dialog mode or not, default is '0'

Example coding for MOD operation

      CONSTANTS: change TYPE pspar-actio VALUE 'MOD'.
