Creating Change Documents for newly created 'Z' Table

[Greg Soltys]

Thanks Jocelyn, that's what I was afraid of.  The problem being on my end is
that the 'code' that is updating the Z table is an external precompiled 3rd
party adapter using an RFC so I cannot change this update code nor intercept
the update :-(
 
Thanks for the input as you definitely verified that I will have to take a
different approach.
 
Thanks again!
 
Cheers,
Greg
