Length of a field in a structure

Hi,
Is there any restriction on the length of the field in a structure which is CHAR type ??
Thanks.

Sample
report zrich_0001
       line-size 1023.
data: begin of s,
      a(65510) type c,
      b(25) type c,
      end of s.
      s-a = 'This is field 1 asdfkljas;dfkja;sldkjf;aslkdjf;alskdjfa' &
            'asdfkajsd;kfjas;dlkfj;aslkdjf;alksjdf;lkasjdf;lasdfasdf' &
            'asdfkljas;dlkfj;askdjf;askjdf;lkasdjf;lkasj thd end'.
      s-b = 'This is field 2'.
      Write:/ s-a.
      write:/ s-b.

How to check position and length of a field in a structure

Dear All,
DATA : P_DEST TYPE ANY.
Assuming that the structure (P_DEST ) conatins a field called 'ROUTE', how to find the position and length of field 'ROUTE'.
Please help!!
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
you may need to find out the type of a generic interface parameter in a subroutine. To do this, you would use the statement:
DESCRIBE FIELD <f> [LENGTH <l>] [TYPE <t> [COMPONENTS <n>]]
[OUTPUT-LENGTH <o>] [DECIMALS <d>]
[EDIT MASK <m>] [HELP-ID <h>].
The attributes of the data object <f> specified by the parameters of the statement are written to the variables following the parameters.

The type and the length of the members of the structures

I am making the BC-XAL program.
Reading `XAL_Interface_Documentation_11.pdf', now I succeeded in "Reading All Saved Monitor Sets" and "Reading All Monitors of a Monitor Set". but I can't find the type and the length of the member of the Structure BAPITNDEXT, so I cannot get the Monitoring Tree of a Monitor.
where can I get any documents or information ?

Length of Input field in PCUI ???

Hello Expert,
Is there anyway to change the length of input field ?
I created a input field of lenght 1 in GUI. and added this field PCUI also. In pcui this field is accepting only one char but the field visiable on screen is too long for a single char.I want to change this visiable length of the field on the screen.
Please Guide me!!!
Thanks
Amit

Thanks Thirumala for ur reply
Dear visiable length is not taken from DDIC structure field
length, that also control length of input value.
Visiable length is controled by layout Algo. only this much i know.How can we change that, No idea.
Thanks
Amit

Output data to txt file with full length of the field as in database

Hi
I have a problem related to output data I ntxt file on server
for eg
CONCATENATE
wa_sagadr_outtab-seqno
wa_sagadr_outtab-bpext
wa_sagadr_outtab-name_org1
wa_sagadr_outtab-country INTO wa_sagadr_text SEPARATED BY ''.
the output is separated by single space irrespective of database length of the field , I want to display all the lenth of the database field eventhough the remaining space is blank ie if a field is 20 char in dtabase and only filled with 6 char the whole 20 char lenth should be displayed in the output file
ouput as below
required format ie space equvalent to as in database lenght
000001       700006               C4 Plant AMD Export Sdn.Bhd.so on.
my format as coming single space in between only
000001 700006 C4 Plant AMD Export Sdn.Bhd
pls suggest

For this maintain an work area with the fields and structure same as the one which you want.
ten populate the work are and write to file.
concatenate will not work.
e.g.
DATA: begin of wa_sagadr_text,
          seqno like wa_sagadr_outtab-seqno,
          bpext like wa_sagadr_outtab-bpext,
          name_org1 like wa_sagadr_outtab-name_org1,
          country like wa_sagadr_outtab-country
          end of wa_sagadr_text,
clear wa_sagadr_text.
wa_sagadr_text-seqno = wa_sagadr_outtab-seqno.
wa_sagadr_text-bpext= wa_sagadr_outtab-bpext.
wa_sagadr_text-name_org1 = wa_sagadr_outtab-name_org1.
wa_sagadr_text-country = wa_sagadr_outtab-country INTO wa_sagadr_text.
transfer wa_sagadr_text to outputfile
or write:/ your fields.

Setting max length of the field when using Context Model Node

I have created a model using Import Adaptive Web Service model option (a web service was a wrapper around SAP BAPI function module).
There were no dictionary types created in the Local dictionary as a result of import.
I have mapped the context of the controller to the model node.
One of the fields in the model is name CUSTOMER_NUMBER type string;
Corresponding element in the wsdl of the web service is
<xsd:element name="CUSTOMER_NUMBER" type="tns:char10" />
I have created a view with the input filed mapped to the CUSTOMER_NUMBER field of the model node.
When I type more than 10 chars into the field and hit the search button, I get a com.sap.dictionary.runtime.Ddcheck exception that the length of the field should be less than 10 chars.
How can I set the max length of the field in design time to prevent runtime exception?
Thanks,
Julia

Thank you for your reply.
Java trim function will trim the white spaces only, not the characters.
I can code check length functionality before calling execute function (the function that call the web service).
I can also create a dictionary structure based on the model structure; create a context value node based on the dictionary structure and use WDCopyService API to move the data between value node and model node.
I was looking for the best practice...
When importing model based on Adaptive RFC, the dictionary structures are imported together with the model. This does not happen for Adaptive web service - hence there is a need to add coding for simple checks.

For abap-hr i need datatype and length for the fields which i selected

hi seniors,
      I got one task for which i have to get the data type and length for the fields of a table in abap-hr. I am using dd03l table, but my team leader told me to not to use this. So, please anybody can help, i will be thankfull.
      I have to select PA30 fields in which pernr and choic, subty and whatever i have selected the infotypes fields. If there is any function module to find data type and length or else any other table.

Hi,
Try using the Function Module "DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET". You can use this for fetching the complete details of a structure or, a specific field.
Input:->
TABNAME        PA0001
FIELDNAME     PERNR
Output:->
Check the DFIES_TAB it will contain all the details you need for the specific field.
Sample--->
CALL FUNCTION 'DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET'
EXPORTING
    TABNAME              = 'PA0001'
*   FIELDNAME            = ' '
*   LANGU                = SY-LANGU
*   LFIELDNAME           = ' '
*   ALL_TYPES            = ' '
*   GROUP_NAMES          = ' '
*   UCLEN                =
*   DO_NOT_WRITE         = ' '
* IMPORTING
*   X030L_WA             =
*   DDOBJTYPE            =
*   DFIES_WA             =
*   LINES_DESCR          =
TABLES
   DFIES_TAB            = MY_DFIES_TAB
*   FIXED_VALUES         =
* EXCEPTIONS
*   NOT_FOUND            = 1
*   INTERNAL_ERROR       = 2
*   OTHERS               = 3.
Hope this was of some help.

How to check the length of a field symbol value

please advise me on this,
thanks,
sre

I think you're on the right track. This should work:
data: len type i.
data: begin of itab OCCURS 1,
        a type string value '1',
        b type string value '12',
        c type string value '123',
      end of itab.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs> type ANY.
do 3 times.
assign component sy-index of STRUCTURE itab to <fs>.
len = strlen( <fs> ).
enddo.

Hi Vidyanand,
Did you create the runtime access user using the runtime assistant? Did you select the correct runtime repository (if you have more) to associate your runtime access user with?
Note that there are 4 database roles being created when you create a runtime repository owner:
- OWB_A_<runtime repository owner>
- OWB_D_<runtime repository owner>
- OWB_R_<runtime repository owner>
- OWB_U_<runtime repository owner>
If you would grant those roles to a user, then that user becomes an access user for the user with username <runtime repository owner>.
Note that you can also use the runtime repository credentials to connect to the runtime repository for deployment purposes, but you may not want that because of security concerns.
Thanks,
Mark.

How to get the length of a field value, not the length of DB's CHAR(20)

Hello.
I'm trying to handle a String from my DataBase and get its length:
String myName;
int i;
PreparedStatement sql = Conn.prepareStatement("SELECT NAME FROM MY_TABLE");
ResultSet results = sql.executeQuery();
results.next();
myName = results.getString("NAME");
i = myName.length();
out.println("The value is " + myName + " and the length is " + String.valueOf(i) );
I get:
" The value is Tom and the lengh is 20 "
20 is the length of the field (it's a CHAR (20) ), but I would like to get the length
of 'Tom'.
On other hand, I would like to detect if this value is 'Tom' or not, but trying with:
if (myName.equals("Tom")) {...}
or
if (myName == "Tom") {...}
There is no response.
Any experience?

myName = results.getString("NAME");
if(myName!=null) myName = myName.trim(); //Take out trailing spaces
i = myName.length();Sudha

Problem in Add/Delete fields in Extract Structure.

Hi All,
When I want to delete some fields from the extract structure it gives me " " error.
Steps:
1. In R/3, T-Code LBWE -> Browse till DS ( ex: 2LIS_02_ITM)
2. Inactive the DS by clicking on 'Active' under Update column
3. Click on 'Maintenance' link under Structure column.
4. Remove a field MCEKKO-KUNNR from left side to right side of the window.
5. Click on continue button.
It gives the below error while generating the extract structure.
"MC03BF0" must be a flat structure. You can not use internal tables, strings,references, or structures as components.-
Plz help how to handle this error ? The same error msg is displayed if I want to add few fields to the structure.
Thanks in Adv

Length of amount field in New GL at the document entry

Hi,
1) At present I am working on ECC 6, EhP 4 with New GL Activated & Old GL "Not deactivated" (i.e deactivate update of Classic General Ledger GLT0 not done).
2) The total table (FAGLFLEXT) & Line item table (FAGLFLEXA) field in new GL has amount field length as 23 digit.
3) When I am trying to enter any FI Document in SAP, using transaction code F-02 or FB60 etc, the length of amount field is coming as 13 digit. I am not able to enter higher value
Question:-
a) Is the above issue due to "non-deactivation" of "Old GL"? As per my understanding, it is not, but wanted your opinion.
b) Is there any configuration which needs to be done to increase the length of the amount field at transaction level?
Thanking you in advance
Santosh Agarwal

a) Is the above issue due to "non-deactivation" of "Old GL"? As per my understanding, it is not, but wanted your opinion.
No, it is not.
b) Is there any configuration which needs to be done to increase the length of the amount field at transaction level?
No, there isn't. The field length that is appearing during document entry is really dictated by the data type of fields such as DMBTR, WRBTR in table BSEG; which is CURR (13,2). Although the GL view (FAGLFLEX* tables) have longer length, the limitation in entry view (BSEG, etc.) stays as 13,2.

How to fix the output length of a field

Hi!
I want to 'allocate' the full length of the field while smartform printing even if it is initial.
How can I do this? I tried the &field(*)& &field(F<' '>)& output format, but nothing.
Thanks

Hi!
I have only one text element, and in that I have two variables separated only with one space. In the printed form the starting place of the second variable depends on the length of value in the first variable.
like this:
The first variable has the dictionay type 'VBELN', despite this fact, the &FIELD(*)& does not work.
The template doesn't work here too. because I have only one text element.
Or can I print two text element in one row? It could be a solution probably.

How to Identify a table name of a field in the structure

Hi Guys,
I have to identify a application table name of a field , the field is directly mapped with the structure.
please guide me where the physical data is stored.

Vasanth

HI Vasanth,
You can select Data Type radio button in SE11 and click on search help F4) ..and provide field name or structure name and then select where Used list option .and select table check box..so that you can find multiple tables wherever this structure is used..
U can get multiple tables here if this structures is used for multiple tables.So data related to your field will be storing in multiple tables.
This information may be usefull..

Adhoc query - length of service fields

Hi all,
I have question regarding the length of service fields in adhoc query (Actions infotype data fields PNP database).
When I select these fields I get different results according to reporting period; if i select a keydate then the service is calculated according to this date, but if I select a reporting period, then the service is calculated according to the start date of the reporting period.
Is this expected behaviour? Please let me know how this can be coded to reference the end date of the reporting period.
many thanks

Hi,
