Routing characteristics - counter in table PLMK?

Hi gurus,

I have a situation where I am supposed to identify the routing characteristics which are basically displayed in CA03.

I am supposed to do that by:

1. 1. first searching for the PLNNR in table PLKO where I have only one group counter and one line for my group - so this is pretty simple.
2. 2. Then I pass the PLNNR to table PLPO where I see that I have 6 nodes and 6 counters - so six line altogether, all in one task list type.
3. 3. I go to table PLAS where again, using PLNNR I find out that only one of my 6 nodes is deleted - has a deletion indicator therefore, the corresponding operation does not exist. Only one task list type and it is N.

so far so good. The issue rises in step 4:

1. 4. I go to table PLMK where I enter only the PLNNR, I enter the PLNTY and I get all inspection characteristics assigned. Some of them have deletion flags so I go to step 5:
2. 5. I try to compare the counters in order to find which is the most current and existing data. As far as I understand, the largest counter for a certain combination of PLNNR+Node+Characteristic is the valid one. However, in CA03 I do not see e.g. characteristic number 10 while in the PLMK table the largest counter for this characteristic does not have a deletion flag; no change number is noted and so on.

Can someone assist with explaining the logic of counters in table PLMK and whether there is another table where by counter, PLNNR, Node and characteristic one could fine whether this particular characteristic is blocked? I was looking for a relationship similar to the one with table PLKO and PLAS unfortunately I couldn't find one.

Thank you in advance,
