How to cancel the release of the current segment definition-WE31-IDOC?

[former_member202077]

Hi Experts,

Am trying to add a new field to a existing custom segment type/defination. This segment type is already using in the system.

So, went to WE31 and pressed the PENCIL button for changing/adding my new field, but am geting the below message,

(1)pls let me know that does it mean CANCEL the release (Menu>Edit>Cancel Release)? if so, Can I go ahead and use this CANCEL the release? do I need to take any pre-requisites as this segment is already relased?

(2)But, you know there is another option saying 'ADD VERSION-Shift+F5', if I choose this option, its also taking me to a screen where in I can add new fields so which is correct option for me is it either (1) or (2)?

Current segment definition Z_segment_defination can no longer be changed
Message no. EA666

In development, I've always cancelled the release, added my new fields or adjusting the segment, saved and then released again.

Thank you.

So, when we need "another option saying 'ADD VERSION-Shift+F5'"? I mean which scenarios we go with ADD VERSION?
