Structure Enhancements in Release 6.20
Since Release 3.0, customers have been able to make changes to SAP's
ABAP Dictionary structures and tables using
customizing includes
or appends . However, these changes can cause
problems in programs with active Unicode
checks , for example, if a purely
character-type structure is enhanced, it can lose its character-like
and hence its fragment view is changed.
In Release 6.20, it has therefore been made possible to classify
dictionary structures and tables, so that problems caused by structure
enhancements can be easily recognized and dealt with. In the ABAP
programming checks, this classification is used to flag up all places in
the source code that can cause problems in the context of structure
enhancements. These problems are due to syntax errors or modified
program behavior caused by structure enhancements. The dictionary
categories and their effect in ABAP programs are described in
Structure Enhancements .
