Creation of Object Attributes

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Diane,
A structure is just a temporary work area and therefore doesn't hold any data that
you could select from the database. You need to find the real database table
or alternatively a function module that retries the data you want.
Structures are often used on the initial screens of transactions to allow for
flexibility of selection.  Usually if you want a field it is best to
move past the first screen of the transaction and look again- often the
technical details on other screens will show the correct tables.
 
You may want to get an ABAP-er to help you find the actual table or function module
to call.  It's quite possible that you may need to build a virtual attribute rather
than a database attribute if the relationship between the quality notification and the
field is not absolutely direct.
 
I gather you are after partners for your notification - there are a
series of function modules with pattern QMPA_* and PM_PARTNER* that may be helpful to you.

Subject: Creation of Object Attributes
 
 
I am creating object attributes in a Zbus2078 object.  The field is found in
a structure table.  When I enter it in the program gives me an error, i.e.,
"RQM02 is not found in the ABAP Dictionary as a table, projection or
database view."  What does this mean and what do I need to do to incorporate
this structure in to the object program?  Where can I find information on
the process for resolving this error?  Thanks in advance!!!
