<br>Hello Joe,<br><br>Thanks for the reply. How would I monitor a specific change for a field in the HR infotype in "real-time?" I need to read a date for all the subtypes in that infotype and if that date is one month from system date for any of the subtypes, i need to keep sending reminders until that record is either changed or a new record is inserted in the infotype. Also, How would i specify the event that a specific change is done and not just any change to the record. For example is it possible to say that the date is changed and then do a check that the date is changed to specific value. <br><br>I never linked HR Infotypes with events so i'm not sure how that can be done.<br><br>Thanks a lot.<br>Ali<br><br><br>> From: sap-wug-request@mit.edu<br>> Subject: SAP-WUG Digest, Vol 61, Issue 52<br>> To: sap-wug@mit.edu<br>> Date: Wed, 30 Dec 2009 10:46:06 -0500<br>> <br>> Send SAP-WUG mailing list submissions to<br>> sap-wug@mit.edu<br>> <br>> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit<br>> http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/sap-wug<br>> or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to<br>> sap-wug-request@mit.edu<br>> <br>> You can reach the person managing the list at<br>> sap-wug-owner@mit.edu<br>> <br>> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific<br>> than "Re: Contents of SAP-WUG digest..."<br>> <br>> <br>> Today's Topics:<br>> <br>> 1.
