Task 1

Insert field ZZAC110 to the CI_COBL include structure.

Adding a field to the coding block takes a lot of time (about two hours in our system), so
show the steps up to the test run and then explain that due to the long test runs, you will
use one of the existing customer fields (e.g. ZZLOCA) as an example to continue the
demo.
