Generic Object Services user exit or BAdI (46C)

Tue Apr 11 03:14:54 EDT 2006

We are still using 4.6C in this system - not quite at the bleeding edge with our IS Oil system. An upgrade project is on its way -- so I am planning a sabattical year :)

However, thank you very much for the tip, it may be applicable in another system where there is the same type of requirement that we have created a hack for.
