The HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION function module is used for the Maintenance of HR infotypes, such as inserting, changing, deleting data etc 

Parameters Explained
Here is a list of the fm's parameters and how they are used, obviously not all parameters will be used depending on what function you are performing i.e. insert, change, delet etc 

infty - Infotype being updated 

objectid - object id from infotype 

number - Personnel number 

validityend - validity end date 

validitybegin - validity begin date 

record - infotype record values to be updated, inserted etc (will be structure of infortyoe you are updating)

recordnumber - sequence nunber from infotype record you are updating 

Operation - describes what operation is to be performed 
COP = Copy 
DEL = Delete 
DIS = Display 
EDQ = Lock/unlock 
INS = Create 
LIS9 = Delimit 
MOD = Change 
INSS = Create for Actions is not converted to Change 

nocommit - commit yes('X') / no(' ') 

dialog_mode - dialog mode or not, default is '0'
