Cl_abap_typedescr= describe_by_name and field length

Hello,
When I run the method cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_name('MARA') on ECC6, the method works properly but the type definition for the field is wrong.
For example the method returns <b>mara-mandt type c length 6 instead of 3</b>. <i></i>
Is this normal ?

Hello Sudha,
I don't see any output_lenght parameter, here is my code
  table ?=
      cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_name( p_table ).
  tableDetails[] = ref_table_des->components[].
p_table is a selection parameter.
Do you see anything wrong ?

  • IsValid and field length

    Hello,
    I have to make some form validation, and wanted to know if isvalid is enough to prevent buffer overflow errors, or should I check length of form field server side.
    Thanks!

    You can also use the IsNumeric() function to make sure that your form data that is numbers is a correct number.
    This actually can go a long way to preventing the dreaded SQL Injection attack on your web application. You can also use the IsValid() function to validate that a number is an integer, and also use IsValid with the range option to restrict your numeric types to a specified range, which helps prevent a buffer overflow attack on your web application.
    Use the IsDefined() function as well to verify that the form element actually exists after the Submit. IsDefined works a little differently than IsNumeric, here are the valid ways to use these functions, note that with IsDefined the variable name must be enclosed in Quotes.
    IsNumeric(FORM.Name) - correct
    IsDefined("FORM.Name") - correct
    IsNumeric("FORM.Name") - not correct
    IsDefined(FORM.Name) - not correct
    As a general rule, web forms should be validated on the client side first with Javascript, and also on the server side with your scripting language when the form is submitted, with server side languages like ColdFusion, ASP.NET, or PHP. Having both client and server validation goes along way to protect your website from malicious activities.

  • Append new field after call cl_abap_typedescr= describe_by_name( tabname )

    Dears :
      i use cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_name( tabname ) to create a new structure type. The parameter tabname could be 'MARA' .
      and now i want to append a new field such as 'ZTEST' to this structure, is this possible ?
      ths in advance!

    Hi,
      This is possible, Use get_components method to get the list of components
    Then once yout get this list add one more component to this list.
    Then use this list to create your strucutre using the method create.
    See the below code.

  • Sender File Adapter. Fixed Lengths and Field Separator

    Hello guys,
    I have a doubt in Sender File Adapter with Content Conversion.
    I have a text file like:
    a,b,c,,e
    I have the configuration in the adapter:
    Register.fieldNames: a,b,c,d,e
    Register.fieldSeparator: ,
    The question I have is can I format the length of the text when i create the XML?
    I woul like to create the XML like:
    <Row>
      <Register>
        <a>a   </a>
        <a>b  </a>
        <a>c  </a>
        <a>   </a>
        <a>e   </a>
      </Register>
    </Row>
    I would like that when I create the file in Field A I have length = 4, but I have only 1 in the entry, and I want to fill the rest of the length with spaces.
    I tried with FieldFixedLengths but when I test it the fields are not being formatted and take the commas as part of the field.
    I know that this can be done in Receiver File Adapter, you leave for example one field of 5 length and you format it to 12 length with spaces.
    Is this possible for Sender File ADapter?
    Many thanks.
    Regards,
    Xavi.

    hi,
    See the example given in this bog, in this blog the string has been splited into different fields as per the field length, so you may use the same concept to get your output.

  • I want to extend table "hr_location_extra_info_lei" column name "lei_information3" field length from 16 to 30 and was wondering if I can do this and how?

    I am trying to extend the field length for colun lei_information 3 from 16 characters to 30 characters in the table hr_location_extra_info_lei, but cannot seem to do this.  Can the length be changed and if so how?
    Many thanks
    Louise

    Hi Louise,
    All the "lei_informationX" columns in   hr_location_extra_info  table are of size VARCHAR2(150) (Oracle EBS R12).
    So I understand why you're saying it's limited to 16 characters.
    May it's only a question of your setup limiting it to 16 car., in which case you can easily change it to 30 by unfreezing the DFF and modifying it.

  • CL_ABAP_TYPEDESCR - DESCRIBE_BY_DATA  field length is doubled

    I have a custom program developed on Non Unicode system, that is using CL_ABAP_TYPEDESCR -> DESCRIBE_BY_DATA  to get field lengths of the fields in a structure. The code works perfectly file on Non Unicode system where it is developed, However when the same code is imported on a UNICODE system the field lengths of the fields in the same structure are exactly doubled. Anybody has any idea, why this may be happening?

    > However when the same code is imported on a UNICODE system the field lengths of the fields in the same structure are exactly doubled. Anybody has any idea, why this may be happening?
    Yes - because Unicode uses two bytes to represent ONE character.

  • Field lengths in unicode system.

    Hi gurus,
    I am creating a dynamic internal table. To get the structure of DDIC table at run time i use the following code to create field catalog:
    DATA : idetails TYPE abap_compdescr_tab,
             xdetails TYPE abap_compdescr.
    DATA : xfc TYPE lvc_s_fcat,
             ifc TYPE lvc_t_fcat.
    ref_table_des ?=
            cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_name( p_ztab_name ).
        idetails[] = ref_table_des->components[].
        LOOP AT idetails INTO xdetails.
          CLEAR xfc.
          xfc-fieldname = xdetails-name .
          xfc-datatype = xdetails-type_kind.
          xfc-inttype = xdetails-type_kind.
          xfc-intlen = xdetails-length.
          xfc-decimals = xdetails-decimals.
          APPEND xfc TO ifc.
        ENDLOOP.
    The xdetails-length is doubled in a unicode system.
    However it is correct as field length of table in non-unicode system.
    I am then writing the data from internall table to file using
    OPEN DATASET ld_fullpath FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING UTF-8
    For ex. a numeric field in the file are written as 00 when its actual value in table is 0.
    Please suggest how to solve this problem?
    Should i build field catalog in some other way.
    Assured points for helpful answers.

    Hello Krishna
    The static method cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_name returns an instance of type CL_ABAP_TYPEDESCR.
    This class is a superclass of CL_ABAP_STRUCTDESCR (the inheritance hierarchy is:
    CL_ABAP_TYPEDESCR -> CL_ABAP_DATADESCR -> CL_ABAP_COMPLEXDESCR -> CL_ABAP_STRUCTDESCR).
    In the statement
    ref_descr ?= cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_name( p_table ).
    it_details[] = ref_descr->components[].
    we have a widening cast ('?=') from CL_ABAP_TYPEDESCR (returned value) to CL_ABAP_STRUCTDESCR (descr_ref variable).
    Now <i>p_table</i> represents a structure (like 'SFLIGHT'). The components of this structure, i.e. the table fields, are found in the public attribute ref_descr->components.
    Please note that it is unnecessary to write
    ref_descr->components<b>[]</b>
    because in ABAP-OO it is not allowed to use itabs with header lines but exclusively table types.
    The other classes (like cl_abap_typedescr, cl_abap_compdescr) are used to get the runtime type information (RTTI) of different DDIC objects.
    Regards
      Uwe

  • Output field length issue in OO ALV

    Hello Experts,
    I have an requirement to download ALV grid output into Excel but some of columns having more than 128 characters, as per standard SAP will not support so I have included one more button and I have written the below code.
      field-symbols: <fs_table> type standard table,
                     <fs_wa>.
    * Get the current fields of the layout
      CALL METHOD ALV_GRID->GET_FRONTEND_FIELDCATALOG
        IMPORTING
          ET_FIELDCATALOG = it_fcat.
    * Generate dynamic internal table
      CALL METHOD CL_ALV_TABLE_CREATE=>CREATE_DYNAMIC_TABLE
        EXPORTING
          IT_FIELDCATALOG           = it_fcatn
        IMPORTING
          EP_TABLE                  = dyn_table
      assign dyn_table->* to <fs_table>.
      create data dyn_line like line of <fs_table>.
      assign dyn_line->* to <fs_wa>.
    loop at lt_final into ls_final.
        if ls_final-EBELP is not INITIAL.
          CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'
            EXPORTING
              INPUT  = ls_final-EBELP
            IMPORTING
              OUTPUT = ls_final-EBELP.
        endif.
        MOVE-CORRESPONDING ls_final to <fs_wa>.
        append <fs_wa> to <fs_table>.
      endloop.
      CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
        EXPORTING
          FILENAME                = FULLPATH
          FILETYPE                = 'DAT'
          WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR   = 'X'
          CONFIRM_OVERWRITE       = 'X'
        TABLES
          DATA_TAB                = <fs_table>
          FIELDNAMES              = LT_HEADING
    Now my problem is some of field output value getting truncated(in excel) but it displayed in Grid output.
    eg.
    lt_final having one text field(Doc. Type description) and the length is 20, actually printing 17 characters but we are not defining the output length.
    Can you please anyone faced the problem earlier? Basically the SAP version is R/3 4.7.
    Regards,
    Vadamalai A

    Hello All,
    Before calling CALL METHOD CL_ALV_TABLE_CREATE=>CREATE_DYNAMIC_TABLE
    we can define the length
      WHEN 'BATXT'.       wa_fcatn-OUTPUTLEN =
    20.
    Regards,
    Vadamalai A.
    We can close this thread.

  • R/3 Field length 80, BW field max allowed 60

    Hi all,
    Field ABC is in R/3 production system.
    Its length is 80(CHAR).
    This field data is now to be extracted to BW.
    It is used in extract program and updated to an extract table(R/3), then this has be loaded into a master load(BW).
    But in BW the field length allowed is 60(Max).
    So how to get in this 80 char data into BW??
    Please let me know in detail.
    Also please share links pertaining to this if possible.
    Thanks,
    Sowrabh

    Hi Sowrabh,
    Create two Infoobjects one with length 60 and one with length 20.
    Now in transfer rules write routines for both.
    IOB1 = <r/3 field>+0(60)
    IOB2 = <r/3 field>+60(20)
    Regards,

    Dear all,
       when use CATT to record vendor/customer master,the address some fields length are over recorded field length(ex. ADDR1_DATA-NAME4,ADDR1_DATA-STR_SUPPL3...etc)
    is there any config in CATT to solve this kind of problem?

    When you are doing your LSMW batch input recording, on selection screen (where you specify the sales org, distribution channel, division, account group, etc) please put a flag on "Use central address management" checkbox (SAPMF02D 0100 >  USE_ZAV).
    In this case you should be able to see and fill the desired fields.
