Definition

An initialization exit is an ABAP FORM routine that initializes a substitution, validation or Boolean rule.

This exit is mainly needed in rules that are used for several line items.

Initialization exits have the following format:

  • Uzzzz (zzzz = up to four characters) - user exit
  • Szzzz (zzzz = up to four characters) - system exit

The form pool name for user exits is configured in table T80D.

Effects on Customizing

This name is made up of 5 characters plus the number of the client.

An example form pool (RGGBR000) for client 000 is configured in the standard SAP System. You must copy this form pool and reconfigure it in T80D (entry for application area 'GBLR'), so that the target client and the customer naming convention are taken into account.

Example

Form routine: Example for an initialization exit U001

TABLES: COBL.
DATA:   HAUPT_KONTO LIKE COBL-HKONT. 
FORM U001.
  READ COBL INDEX 1.
  HAUPT_KONTO = COBL-HKONT. 
ENDFORM.
Note
The tables and field strings are not declared in the FORM routines so that the contents are used together with the calling transaction.
