BW field(InfoObject) of length 80 CHAR required

Hi all,
Field ZEMAIL is in R/3 system.
Its length is 80(CHAR).
This field data is now to be extracted to BW.
ZEMAIL is used in extract program and updated to an extract table in R/3, then this has be loaded into one of the Master data(Contract Account) in BW.
But in BW the field length allowed is 60(Max).
So how to get in this 80 char length data into BW??
Can we store the 80 char length data in a single field(InfoObject) in BW??
Please let me know in detail.
Also please share links pertaining to this if possible.
Thanks in Advance,
Sowrabh

Storing a field of length 500 char in a database table

I want to create a ztable in which I need to store the data of length more than 256 , so please let me know , how can we create the field of length 500 chars..
I have tried using STRING and LCHR , but it's not working.
Thank You,
Ankur Goyal

Hi,
Try creating the field like this
1. Create a new data element with required description.
2. While creating data element select 'Built-in type' radio button under Data Type tab. Specify Data type as STRING and press enter. You need not specify Length (or you can provide 500 here, I suggest not to specify field length as it leads to short dump if you enter text more than 500 chars in it).
Note: Once you press enter you can see an information message 'No length restriction'.
3. Save and activate the data element.
4. Use the data element for your text field in your custom table.
Important:
The text field with size >255 chars should not be a key field, neither you should select 'Initial values' option while defining field.
I have tried this and it worked.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Venkat

How to define Length of char. and KF

During infoobject creation, how to define the length of char. and KF, is it related to master data text length ? Should we take other things into account? When we see one field in table, the length of the field was defined with 2, but its master data text length was more than 2, what's the reason for this things?
Edited by: hi ni on Apr 18, 2008 12:12 PM

hi,
how to define the length of char. and KF, is it related to master data text length ?
ther business will have defined length and type for any characteristics. ex - Materail number may have lenth of max 15 and is Char type.
but for text max size is by default 40 chars.
Should we take other things into account?
get spec from client, that could be better and also consider the field used to map ur char/KF from source system.

Converting DECIMAL field in R/3 into CHAR field on BW

Hi all,
   We have a field in R/3 which is defined as :
      Data Type : Decimal
      Length      : 6
      Decimal Places : 2
     I want to receive it into CHAR field on BW side.
     How could I convert it, please. What should be length of this CHAR field in BW?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Venkat,
Create a character infoobject of length 18. Include the infoobject in your data target and map the key figure value to the character infoobject by writting the following update routine for the character infoobject.
Result = comm_structure-xxxxxx (xxxxxx = key figure infoobject you want to map for example say comm_structure-net_price if key figure is 0net_price)
Please assign points if it helps,

The error is like : Variable length field exceeds maximum length

Hi All,
I am trying to load some signature ascii data from load file. so i wrote the code like below in my controal file to load that to database. For SIGN_IMAGE in oracle db it was mentioned as RAW(2000). The below is worked fine when i tried in window and oracle 8i environment.
SIG_TYPE POSITION(23:23) CHAR,
SIGN_IMAGE POSITION(24:1977) VARRAW(2000)
NULLIF SIGN_IMAGE=BLANKS,
SIGN_IMAGE1 POSITION(1978:3930) VARRAW(2000)
NULLIF SIGN_IMAGE1=BLANKS
But when i ported the same thing to solaris and oracle 10g environment. The below code is giving error when SQL Loder loading.
The error is like for column SIGN_IMAGE : Variable length field exceeds maximum length.
But here i am giving a lenght of 1954 only with including 2 bytes length of the string.
Could any one tell me what is exactly the problem? i am not able sort out the issue.
Thanks,

Data not loading for new Fields InfoObjects from DSO to InfoCube

Hi Gurus -
               I have a DataSource that is providing data to existing DSO then to Infocube. My client asked me to added couple fields to DataSource and get the data to DSO and then DSO to InfoCube.
Here is the Old scenarion:   DataSource -> DSO -> InfoCube.
Here is the New Scenation:
     DataSource ( Added new fields) -> DSO (added new InfoObjects for Corresponding DataSource FIelds) -> InfoCube( Added new InfoObjects to mapped from DSO)
I added the new fields to DataSource, added the corresponding InfoObjects to DSO and InfoCube.
I successfully loaded data from DataSource to DSO. Data is populating for the new Fields/InfoObjects in DSO.
But when I load data from DSO to InfoCube, I don't see any data for New Fields InfoObjects in the InfoCube.
Data from DSO to InfoCube is loading fine for the Old InfoObjects Fields but not for the New InfoObjects I added in InfoCube.

Hi,
Why dont u debug the load through DTP debugging and check what happens to the source field and target field once it passes through the transformation. You can easily trace back where the fields are becoming blank.
The loads which you have mentioned earlier did it have values in Added Records/Transferred Records column for the cube.

Hi
This is probably due to inconsistencies of your Business Area field setting in G/L Account's Field Status Group (<b>OBC4</b>) against the Field Selection of your Account Assignment Category (check IMG -> MM --> Purchasing --> Account Assignment --> Maintain Account Assignment Categories)
Or else Run program <b>RM07CUFA </b>giving the G/L account and movement type, and then highlight the errors

Dear Nazrul,
Go to tx. FS00 and enter account 12053040 for 9000 Cocd. Select "Create/Bank/Interest" sheet and check the entry on "Field status group".
Here you'll three options:
1. If you run SM34 for V_T004V and select your field status group you can go to dynphro "Additional account assigments" and for "Business Area" field stablish flag on Optional Entry position instead of the Required one now in use.
2. Revise your entries on SM34 for V_T004V in order to find a field status group that could match with the one in use for your GL account except for "Business Area" field. Afterwards, run tx. FS00 for 12053040 account and modify the entry on "Field status group" for the one that you have choosen on the previous step.
3. Run tx SM34 for V_T004V and make a copy of the field status group in use on your account, and modify the entry for the business are from required to optional or suppressed. Afterwards, modify your GL account on tx. FS00 changing the original field status group for this new one you have created.
I hope this information helps.
