CLASS DESCRIPTION MASSIVE CHANGE

[Former Member]

HI!

I need to modify the description for many classes.

I know transaction CL02 but only allows to modify one by one.

Do you guys know any transaction for that?

Thank you very much!

Hi Luca,

I'm not aware of any standard transaction for class description mass maintenance.

But you can maybe consider the possibility to run a custom program making use of the available BAPI's for reading / changing classes.

Here they are, for instance:

BAPI_CLASS_GETDETAIL

This function module returns details of a class. The class is specified by name, class type, and a date if required (the default is the system date). Only characteristics data is date-dependent.

BAPI_CLASS_CHANGE

This function module changes a class and its data.

Both of them have  CLASSDESCRIPTIONS as tables interface (language dependant).
So, the logic should something like this: first read the class data with the first BAPI, then change the class with second one, according to your needs.

Please carefully read the BAPI documentation for details (for instance, BAPI_CLASS_CHANGE will not update the database unless a TransactionCommit call is done).

Hope this could help in some way.

Thanks and regards,

Flavio
