Documentation

Definition

This is a flag for repeat fields. It determines whether all of the repeat fields of an infotype record are output in a query, even if they are not filled with data sequentially.

Use

If the flag is set for a repeat field in table T770P, all of the repeat fields of an infotype record are output in a query, even if they have not been filled with data without leaving any gaps.

If the flag is not set, all of the repeat fields of an infotype record are only output in a query if the entries do not have gaps.

Dependencies

Example

Infotype 0033 (Statistics) uses repeat fields AUS01 to AUS20, which do not always need to be filled without gaps. If the flag is set for these repeat fields, you ensure that all of the repeat fields of an infotype record are included in a query.
