Can we change the data type of a field based on the value of the field

HI Gurus,
My Requirement is as below -- Could you please guide me
in the Printable Adobe form -- for ex - as usual for dates fields in the Object Pallette the object type is a date/time field and for quantity/currency fields corresponding fields are taken
now in case the either the date, quantity or currency is initial in place of displaying 0.00 or empty date we need to display N/A (Not Applicable)
for this I would like to change the data type of the field
to put it simply --
we need to change the data type of date field from DATE&TIME to Char type to hold N/A or Quantity field to Char field to hold N/A
how can we realize this in SAP adobe forms
Thanks in Advace
Ramchander Rao.K

Hello Ramchander,
     You cannot change the data type of the field at run time in Adobe forms because the type of field you choose at the time of design level is associated with the data type itself.
If you want to achieve your requirement, then your main idea should be to set the data type as CHARACTER itself while designing the field in the adobe form itself. CHAR field will comfortably hold the value of Calculation/amount field, Currency field, Amount, Date, Time HHMMSS, Unit Accuracy, Currency key, Floating point number, Numeric text, Client, Language and many other data types.
After designing the field as TEXT field in Adobe form you have two options.
Option 1:
Select the Date field initially as type TEXT field or CHAR field in Adobe forms.
Suppose the name of the field is TEXTFIELD1, then write the Javascript code on this field in Initialize event as below.
if ( this.rawvalue == null )
     this.rawvalue = "N/A";
If the field is not blank, then it will show the date. Else it will show "N/A".
Option 2:
Select the Date field initially as type TEXT field or CHAR field in Adobe forms. Do the formatting part in ABAP itself. It will increase the performance. Avoid Javascript as much as possible.
Suppose you have a DATE variable l_dats of type DATS. Then take another variable l_date of type CHAR. Then write the below ABAP code.
MOVE l_dats TO l_date.
IF l_date IS INITIAL.
     l_date = 'N/A'.
ENDIF.
Bind the l_date to the TEXT field in the form.
Even in this case, if the field is not blank, then it will show the date. Else it will show "N/A".
But I will suggest you to use Option 2 of keeping the AMOUNT, QUANTITY, DATE, TIME fields etc as CHAR or TEXT fields in Adobe form and do the required formatting in ABAP itself.

How to change the data type of a field in an internal table dynamically ?

I have an internal table :
Data: Begin of itab_data occurs 0,
field1 type i,
field2 type p decimals 2,
end of itab_data.
My requirement is to decide the number of decimals of "field2" dynamically .
ie. based on the input in selection-screen , the declaration has to change .How can this be done ?
Hope the question is clear..
Its urgent. Please help me.
Thanks in advance .
Shankar

I dont think you can change it dynamically...but as per your requirement ...why dont you define the variable with maximum decimal length and depending on the parameter(from your selection-screen) use the WRITE command to populate it with the specified decimals.
Example
begin of itab
field2 type p decimals 5.
end of itab.
write itab-field2 to lfield decimals p_dec.

How can I read the data type of a field in an MS Access database

I need to be able to determine if a field in an Access database is of a certain data type, and if it isn't, to change it to what it should be.
I can't seem to find any way of reading the data type of any field in any table - can anyone give me a metod of getting this info?
Thanks
..Bob

Does <cfdbinfo> work for Access DBs?
You might be better off asking this on a MS Access forum. It's more of an Access issue than a CF one.

Impact of changing data type of a field in Database table

Hi All,
I need to change the data type of a field(which is not a key field and it has no dependency with any other field) from NUMC to CHAR by maintaining the same length. Please let me know if there will be any impact in doing this. Hope the following things need to be taken care:
- Take backup of entire data in the table before doing the change
- After changing the data type, I need to set the option 'Save Data' and then 'Activate and Adjust Database' in 'Database Utility'.
- Use 'Where Used List' to check the related objects.
Please let me know if there is any impact or any thing else need to be taken care apart from the above things.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Vidhya.

Hi,
even if the length is same there would be no impact.
just v need to adjust the database in the database utility.
check the table maintenence generator also. if not reflected there u need to delete it and create it again.
reward if useful,

Hi,
I think you are facing an invalid character issue.
This issue can be resolved by correcting the error records in PSA and updating it into the target. For that the first step should be to identify if all the records are there in PSA. You can find out this from checking the Details tab in RSMO, Job log , PSA > sorting records based on status,etc. Once its confirmed force the request to red and delete the particular request from the target cube. Then go to PSA and edit the incorrect records (correcting or blanking out the invalid entries for particular field InfoObject for the incorrect record) and save it. Once all the incorrect records are edited go to RSA1>PSA find the particular request and update to target manually (right click on PSA request > Start update immediately).
I will add the step by step procedure to edit PSA data and update into target (request based).
In your case the error message says Error : Record 1 :Value 'Kuldeep Puri Milan Joshi '. You just need to conver this to Capital letter in PSA and reload.
Edit the field to KULDEEP PURI MILAN JOSHI in PSA and push it to target.
Identifying incorrect records.
System wont show all the incorrect records at the first time itself. You need to search the PSA table manually to find all the incorrect records.
1. First see RSMO > Details > Expand upate rules / processing tabs and you will find some of the error records.
2. Then you can go to PSA and filter using the status of records. Filter all the red requests. This may also wont show the entire incorrect records.
3. Then you can go to PSA and filter using the incorrect records based on the particular field.
4. If this also doesnt work out go to PSA and sort (not filter) the records based on the particular field with incorrect values and it will show all the records. Note down the record numbers and then edit them one by one.
If you want to confirm find the PSA table and search manually."
Also Run the report RS_ERRORLOG_EXAMPLE,By this report you can display all incorrected records of the data & you can also find whether the error occured in PSA or in TRANSFER RULES.
Steps to resolve this
1. Force the request to red in RSMO > Status tab.
2. Delete the request from target.
3. Come to RSMO > top right you can see PSA maintenace button > click and go to PSA .
4.Edit the record
5. Save PSA data.
6. Got to RSA15 > Search by request name > Right click > update the request from PSA to target.
Refer how to Modify PSA Data
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/40890eda-1b99-2a10-2d8b-a18b9108fc38
This should solve your problem for now.
As a long term you can apply some user exit in source system side or change your update rules to ensure that this field is getting blanked out before getting loaded in cube or add that particular char to permitted character list in BW.
RSKC --> type ALL_CAPITAL --> F8 (Execute)
OR
Go to SE38 and execute the program RSKC_ALLOWED_CHAR_MAINTAIN and give ALL_CAPITAL or the char you want to add.
Check the table RSALLOWEDCHAR. It should contain ALL_CAPITAL or the char you have entered.

You have to create RC29P-IDNRK(var) using concatenate statement. Try this.

CONCATENATE 'RC29P-IDNRK(' var ')' INTO new_mark.

Sorry mate, but YOU have to know what you want here.
I gave you an easy to follow set of steps.
As you don't seam to mind the outcome, just might just use them...

We had this discussion before...

Yes, you do have the SAPR3 user.
But you don't seem to like to read documentation or learn about how the tools work or anything like that.
Therefore I gave you s simple way to reach your goal.
Of course it's possible to reuse the user.
But then you would have to deal with already existing tables, already existing data etc.
You don't seem to be able to do that. So, the easy steps might be better suited for your needs.

Hi,
While changing the Material Type, following points needs to be confirmed :-
1. There should be no stock against the materials. If there will be any stock against the materials, then u will have to nullify the stock for the materials.
2. There should be no open documents against the materials like PO, PR etc. In case if any open documents, same needs to be closed.
3. Also there should be no open reservation order against the materials.

Error while extracting the data in R/3 production system,

Hi Team,

No storage space available for extending the inter R3 299

It´s very difficult to help you without knowing
- what is going to be transferred
- where you get this error
- system configuration
- actual memory usage
- operating system
- database and configuration etc. etc.etc. etc.
I suggest you open an OSS call and let the support have a look on your system. It´s much easier if one has system access to find out the cause for that problem.

Change the Data Type of a Standard Required Field

Hello Experts,
Need to know if is it possible to change the data type of a standard field. The field is marked as a required field.
For example: If a standard field is an Object Picker and I would like to change it to a string field. Is it possible? How can I do it?!
Many thanks,
Igor Nakamura

Hi Igor,
Since you cannot hide a required field, what you can do is move the standard required field to someplace less noticable (like the bottom of the page) and then use a validation script to set it to some benign value.
