Hi Ankur,

You may check FM RS_EU_CROSSREF and go through the Documentation for that
same as it contains one example.

Hope this may be helpful.

Thanks.

2. EXPORTING
3. OPERATION = 'CROSSREF'
4. OBJECT_NAME = prog_name
5. OBJECT_TYPE = 'INCL'

If you are using RS_EU_CROSSREF, pass option no_dialog = X for no

popup's.

You can read the f1 help on "Replace in table". But after this you
have to save & activate the changed program programatically. It

goes on

I tested my program and is working fine. What type of program

are you using report, module pool etc. ?

Instead of checking it from SE37, try writing two sample

programs and check it once. Might be the problem of case
sensitivity.

Did you try executing my code ? In the second program

YREPLACE just put some declarations related to MATNR.

Please note that the program to be changed must be is disabled

mode and not in editable mode.
