Documentation

Definition

This prefix determines from which alternative infotype the field that is to be issued should be read.

Use

If this field is blank, the fields are read from the infotype that is entered in the "Prefix for field names (origin)" field. If there is an entry in this field, the field is read from the alternative infotype.

Example

CnGrp    Format    Prefix    IN    NR    Fieldname    Convert.    Old.Pref.   

22     0     0002     0    1    NACHN            

22     0     0002     0    2    FANAM         0148
