Features
If your SAP version contains the tree maintenance functionality, then do yourself a favour and make use of it. Whilst it may look quite daunting to use, it is so much easier to use than the old table maintenance functionality. Once you have changed, you will regret not having changed sooner.

Remember to Generate your Features (versions below 4.6) especially in a newly created client or after having transported a feature.
Features – Useful Table
Look at table T549d – it is quite useful. Use transaction code SE16 to view the contents of the table, which holds information relating to the client, feature, indicator, function part and structure relating to each feature. If you wish to only display the features that have been configured in a specific client then type in the variable “*xxx*” where xxx is your client name.
Feature PINCH
This feature returns the value for the administrator group which is used on IT 0001. The feature allows you to choose between master data and applicant data. You can use the usual decision objects. If the return value is offered as **** then the administrator group will correspond to the employee’s personnel area. Alternatively you can offer other return values. These values or groups need to have corresponding entries in table T526 which lists all the available administrators for each particular group.
Hints & Tips
- Always copy a feature to create a new one. It is not advisable to create one without using the copy function.
- Whenever sub-features are created, remember that the return value must always be the same as that expected in the top-level feature.
- The command FLDID is used to call subfeatures.
- You can double-click a sub-feature in “tree” mode but not in table mode. To go to a sub-feature you can either go back to the main feature editor screen or you can enter “f ” in the Editor command line.
- For sub-features, you need to edit the Structure to tick the checkbox indicating a sub-feature.
- When editing the structure relating to the feature, remember to turn fields on if you require them to be used in the feature.
- If you are wanting to find out which feature calls another one – i.e. the relationships between different features, you can get this information by running the report RPLMKM00. This report gives the predecessors and successors for each feature stipulated.
- You can’t cut and paste across clients by using the cut, copy buttons in the new tree editor. What you need to do is use the table editor and cut and paste using Ctrl+Y to select and then Ctrl+C Ctrl+V etc.
- If you can’t activate your feature because of an error, save your feature temporarily from the option in the menu path. This allows you to at least save what you have done – even if it does contain errors which you will need to correct.
- If Features including sub-features become too big, they will fail with an ABAP failure. This can occur whenever the feature and sub-features become too large. When the feature and its sub-feature are generated, the program converts the feature into program code. When this reaches a limit of more than 16 000 lines, the program fails.
- Even though the Structure can be changed to include fields on which decisions can be made, the ABAP code that calls the feature at run-time may not have the necessary value at that point, therefore the decision is never reached.
- Whenever you create a new SAP client, you should run the program RPUMKG00. This will copy all the features from 000 to the new client and generate them.
The following commands can be used in the Editor Line – if you are using the Table Maintenance editor
| A | (A)ttach | Used as a “goto function”. The cursor is moved to the selected line number. Enter “A” followed by a blank character and then the line number you want to access. |
| CHECK | The syntax of the feature is checked. If it is correct, the system displays a message “Feature OK”, and if not, it displays an error message. | |
| F | (F)etch | Enables you to display/maintain a different feature. Enter “F”, then a space, and then the five-character key of the desired feature. |
| FIND | Finds the first occurrence of a character string in the feature. Enter “FIND”, then a space, and then the character string you are looking for. | |
| I | (I)nsert | Inserts the specified number of blank lines at the end of the Editor. Enter “I”, then a space, and then the desired number. |
| Accesses the Print parameter screen. Here you can choose the output device and the print options. | ||
| R | (R)eplace | Replaces one character string with another. The character string is replaced every time it occurs. Enter “R”, then a space, then the character string to be replaced, then another space, and finally the character string to be inserted instead. |
| U | (U)pdate | Saves the feature and checks the syntax at the same time. If an error is identified, you can cancel the update. |
The following can be used as Line Commands
| * | The selected line is displayed as the first line in the Editor. |
| A | Target line for copy (C/CC..CC) or move (M/MM..MM) command. The lines that have been copied or moved are inserted directly after the selected target line. |
| B | Target line for copy (C/CC..CC) or move (M/MM..MM) command. The lines copied or moved are inserted directly before the selected target line. |
| C | Copies the selected line to the target line specified by the command A or B. |
