Contacts - Custom Labe field length

I would like to increase the size of the custom lables for contact field lables for say, phone numbers or email address.

Eric,
Thanks for your thoughts and I agree, the field does expand as I type a custom label, but not all of it displays. I should have been more specific with my question. How do I lengthen the display space on the contact card after I am done editing a custom label ?

Custom infotype - field length issue

Hi experts,
We have a requirement of keeping so much free text fields in the custom infotype. However, the system doesnu2019t allow having these many fields in the PS structure. We got the information from the error description as- The maximum length of PS structures for infotypes is 1000; this is the length of the general infotype header in bytes. Could you please suggest some way to solve this issue?
Thanks,
Rahul

Give a field and try to enter some decription for large text in that field .
Create a table for that field and give F4 for that .
Maintain the text in SO10 and call that text using read_text fn module .
Try this way

Can you retrieve contact custom made fields with the BC API?

I have added Custom Fields atatched to my Contact CRM
I can ContactList_Retrieve the contacts list but would like to add the custom fields attached to each contact..
but so far had no success yet! Is it possible?

Thanks Liam!
Got them.
Also is it possible to retrieve contact list not with the last update date but created date?
and can we pass a range date?
as i have found that it is quite slow if you go back in time, as it downloads all the records until the present time.

CATT - vendor/customer master address field length over

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.

Custom IDOC type Segment-field length change

Hello,
We have a custom segment developed for triggering Outbouds. I'm tring to change the Field length of a deta element used for one of the fields in the segment.
But after chaning the data element and activating it also, the changes are not effecting in WE31/ in the structure of the segment.
Process I'm following:
we31 <segment>
......cancel release
Change data element and activate
....set release.
Please suggest if something else can be done
Thanks,
Lucky.

> @Sarvesh: The IDOC segment has been released. I also re-imported the IDOC into XI - is that what you mean by 'reloaded'?
No, re-importing in XI is different from reloading the metadata into ABAP stack of XI using IDX2 transaction. So if you have not done this, then this could be the main reason of truncating the length.

Select Button beside custom metadata field on Check In Form

Hi
In Oracle Content Server 10gR3, is there a way to add a "Select" button to User Alias Applet for a new Meta data field on New Check In Form? I tried creating a component but I don't see a select button being shown up. The button does shows up if it's a standard metadata fields but not for the custom one. Here is the component code. Any idea what I am doing wrong and how to fix it.

Then I tried using the same code as above but instead used the built-in dDocType to show a "Select" button. This works but the button obviously shows besides dDocType but when I try for custom metadata as shown above it doesn't. Here is the sample code for dDocType:<html>

Can someone please let me know what is in my above code that I am missing that is preventing the button not being shown in-front of the custom metadata field.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Interesting!
You'll need a component. You already mentioned you had a custom metadata field. You will also need to add a counter to the counters table for your component. During a check in you will need to fetch the next value from the counters table, increment the counter and store the new number back in the table. The year portion of the id is easy, get the current year and grab the last two characters. Then, put this all togther to get the data for your metadata field.
The big question now is where in the check in process will you do all this? You will need something called filters probably. Maybe addFiles, maybe validateStandard, there are several that this could work with.

Extend data source field length

Hallo experts,
I wonder, what are the influences in BW if a R/3 data source field length changes.
Example: size of VBAP customer field ZZ_TEXTis changed from 40 to 80 chars. Data are extracted via 2LIS_11_VAITM datasource.
1) After replication of new datasource, what happens, if the infosource is not updated to the new size, is the field just truncated? Is the next delta load working or is an init load necessary?
2) If fieldsize is updated in infosource and infoproviders too, what happens to the delta management?
Thanks for your ideas!

1) After replication of new datasource, what happens, if the infosource is not updated to the new size, is the field just truncated? Is the next delta load working or is an init load necessary?
Ans : First of all I dont understand why you need to load text as transactional data.You could have mainitained a infoobject for customer and could have maintained text for it.This would have made your job simple.
If above is not your case and if text is transaction data then ya if you dont update the infoobject with correct length it will be truncated.
If its from now on the text is changed then you can change it now but I think it wont allow it to change as long as you delete it where ever its used.Hence you will need to reload.
2) If fieldsize is updated in infosource and infoproviders too, what happens to the delta management?
Ans : You may have to reload.
Hope this helps.

EEWB field length modification error

Hi,
In our system, an EEWB project is already exist for custom fields in Quotation's product item (CI_EEW_CUSTOMER_I).
I want to change the field length of those custom fields. Thus, I run the wizard of this EEWB project and change some of the field length.
After the wizard and some of the tables are converted, following error occurs:
Task CRM_BTX_ADD_NEW_FIELDS CD3100
deleting of existing BAdI Implementation "ZEEW_CUSTOMER_I01" failed
Moreover, the EEWB icon is changed to red & broken.
How can I continue and make it back to normal?

Hi
The error is coming because EEWB does changes in the ABAP dictionary objects. Now you are not able to delete the field properly thats why you are getting the error
Once you delete the field then only you can process.
check your customizing in transaction EEWC.
Look at note 649336 to set up the customizing.

Manohar

Item number field length limitation?

A non-SAP client is presenting a business proposal to a SAP customer and what they want to know is what is the limitation on Item numbers for products for a manufacturing company running SAP ERP? No, we cannot ask the customer, yet!
I know the SAP is highly customizable but is there a field length limitation or anything else you can tell me?
Many thanks!

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.

How Do I output Custom CRM Fields?

There is currently no reference or insertion method to obtain these very easily but it can be done.
Note: This topic assumes you have already made your custom fields.
Step 1:
Create a Test Page or go to a test page you may have.
Step 2:
Launch the module manager
Step 3:
Select the Securezone options and go to insert an Customer update details form.
Step 4:
When you click the link you will see the CRM fields dropdown appear, Choose the custom field set you made.
Step 5:
Insert the form into the page.
Step 6:
If you Click the HTML view and scroll to where it has inserted the custom CRM fields and look at the source you will see that there is the module tag code you need.
<tr>
      <td><label for="CAT_Custom_201289_72865">Secondary Support Manager Email</label><br />
      <input type="text" class="cat_textbox" id="CAT_Custom_201289_72865" name="CAT_Custom_201289_72865" maxlength="1024" value="{module_customerfield,72865,201289}" /></td>
</tr>
{module_customerfield,72865,201289} is what your after.
Step 7:
Copy the module code and use as you need to in your templates. Please note that these will only work when logged in and only for that person who is logged in.
So, what is this good for?
You may want to show a company Logo in the template when they have logged in for example. This is perfect for this.

                <script type="text/javascript">function setSelectedCheckbox(radioObj,options) {optionsToSelect = options.split(',');for(var i = 0; i < radioObj.length; i++) {radioObj[i].checked = false;if(optionsToSelect.indexOf( radioObj[i].value) != -1 ) {radioObj[i].checked = true;}}}; setSelectedCheckbox(document.getElementsByName('CAT_Custom_434349_142115'),'{module_custo merfield,142115,434349}');</script>
                </td>
            </tr>
So I grabbed the section {module_customerfield,142115,434349} and iserted it in the form but it doesn't display anything at all. Is this because it's checkboxes? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Please help!!! don't find any way to contact customer support other than t

My Zen Microphoto doesn't work, I turned it on, but it freezes on the main screen where it says Creative labs, but doesn't do anything at all, actually it doesn't even turn off. Even when I conected to my computer, it does not detect it. I'm still within warranty I think... but no way to contact for an RMA.
please provide as much info as you can, i already removed the battery for an hour and put it back again, and recharged but it doesn't work

sltalavera,
Have you try running Cleanup/Format option in the player Rescue mode yet? Gi've it a try first if you have not. If you're still having problem with the product, you can contact Customer Support in your region for further assistance.

Palm Desktop V6.2.2 - Custom Address Fields

I have information in the custom address fields, which I have renamed to be more meaningful for my purposes. I want them to display in the Address view, but when I right click and select 'Show Columns' they are not listed.
Does anyone know how I can get to select these columns for display?
Also is there any way to get the prefix to display with the contacts name?
Thank you in advance for any and all suggestions.
Regards,
Graham Shauffenburg
Post relates to: Palm TX

I had closed out of the Palm Desktop several times, thinking that it might be a refresh issue, but that had no effect. You are right about the scroll bar not displaying until you close the applicatation and restart it.
My issue is that the column I want to show is not listed, and therefore cannot be selected for display. It only shows on the custom tab when entering contact information, not on the show columns list.

Graham

Extending Standard account Fact Sheet with Custom BO fields

I have created one custom BO with 2 free text fields. The fields are embedded in the standard account screen in a new tab.
The custom fields have to be available in the account summary fact sheet as well.
BO Definition:
[AlternativeKey] element AccountID: apCommonGDT:BusinessPartnerInternalID;
node Note1[1,1]
element ID:ID;
[DependentObject(TextCollection)] node FIELD1;
node Note2[1,1]
element ID:ID;
[DependentObject(TextCollection)] node FIELD2;
Is it possible to extend the standard fact sheet with these custom BO fields ?

Hello Surajit,
If you need a field to store string of big length, you can use LANGUAGEINDEPENDENT_Text. Have you tried that already? This data type doesn't have any length restriction.
Thanks & Regards,
