Create InfoType with decimal field

Hi,
I would like to create an InfoType with some numeric, char and currency type in the structure
Then I run PM01, create the structure
http://img119.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ps9080ze4.jpg
activate it and go back to PM01 but when I click on GENERATE button, il get the following message :
msg type error : The infotype must not include an integer type or floating point no.field
I dont realy understand why this error occurs and why an IT couldn't have integer type in his structure...
Any idea ?
Thanks,
Ant.

Instead of INT use DEC or NUMC data types.

Hi
I've created several infotypes with a Table Control and it is always the same story. You have to create a custom Z table to store the Table Control data (if you can have unlimited records), so in the PSXXXX structure you need to add a TABNR field to link the PAXXXX table and the Z one, just like the type table OM infotypes.
Then in your code you have to control every possible operation, INS, MOD, DEL... and update the Z table accordingly (the standard code won't do that)
If your TC fields appear in display mode, take a look at the Groups 1 and 3 in your fields, the must be set with the usual values for a PA infotype.
If you have more questions, just ask,

Hi,
SE38 -> Enter program
Select Variants button and display. In the next screen, enter a variant name, (If not existing , press Create to create new one), else click on Change.
Now the selection screen will display with a button "Variant Attributes" at the top.
Click on that button.
In the next screen, go to the selection variable column of the date field. Press F4 or drop down and select 'D' for date maintenance.
In the column "Name of Variable (Input Only Using F4)" press F4 or drop down, select whichever kind of date calculation you want and save the variant.

Creation of HR infotype with repeated fields

Hi,
We have a requirement in our project where in we need to implement the repeat field screen structure.
We have to create an info type with 96 fields in which some of the fields are repeated more than once.
We have tried to create a table control to represent the repeated fields, for this we have a standard way which SAP follows. We have done the same way but we are not able to get the table control in the info type screen.
We have done the following steps using this link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/4f/d52552575e11d189270000e8322f96/frameset.htm
1) I have created a structure with the repeated fields of the info type
2) created the entries in Mapping for Conversion of Repeat Structure/Tables (table T588AUTO_MAP) with the repeated fields
3) For each type LINE screen structure to be used, a corresponding entry was defined in Mapping for Conversion of Repeat Structure/Tables (table T588AUTO_TABLE).
4) I have created an info type with all these fields where in I should get the repeated fields in the table control format, but this was not happening.
Is there any task to be done to link all these transactions before going for creation of the info type?
Can any one suggest me how to get the table format on the screen with all these repeated fields.

Hi Choudhury,

Creation of infotype with lengthy fields?

Hello All,
I am trying to create a custom infotype which has fields of length 200 characters.
But when I try to create infotype I am getting the following message:
'Field PXXXX-field1 is too long(it has been shortened to 132 bytes)'
And one of the fields I want to display as list box. So I modified the module pool. But I couldn't find the input field for the 200 length field in the screen. And hence I am not able to activate the screen after modifying the other field to list box.
Please help me out in solving this issue.
Thanks in advacne.

Problem with decimal fields using BADI For PD Infotypes

Hi,
I'm implementing BADI HRBAS00INFTY.
For reading the fields of infotype , I'm using the substring
of the field NEW_INNNN-VDATA .
I have a problem with fields of type DEC.
In field NEW_INNNN-VDATA it looks like this : '####'
I believe that the possible reason for this is conversion from DEC to CHAR
But I don't know how to fix it.
Thank you .
Message was edited by: Alon Lozinsky

Hi Alon,
We had same issue. Use following code.
data: hri1011_str type hri1011.
move new_innnn-vdata to hri1011_str.
HRI1011_STR fields will have decimal values.
Let me know if you still have any issues. If solution works, kindly do Point Recognition.

Create Query with New Field combined with Existing InfoCube Data (BW 3.5)

Hi Everyone!
How would you recommend I handle the following situation?
I have a custom InfoCube (which I will call ZCUBE) that has been deployed to production. The business would like a new query that combines Current Standard Price along with data currently stored in ZCUBE.
Now, Current Standard Price is uniquely identified by the Material and Plant to which it is associated. These InfoObjects (Material and Plant) are characteristics of ZCUBE.
I am strugglig since the business will not allow any changes in the design of the InfoCube (i.e. add any new characteristics/key figures).
Is there a way to combine the two data sets? I attempted to use a Multi-Provider using ZCube and a custom ODS, but had no luck since the characteristics were so different. (ZCUBE has almost 50 characteristics defined)
I also have tried adding the attribute Standard Price to InfoObject Plant Material (0MAT_PLANT) but that was not helpful since 0MAT_PLANT is not included in ZCUBE.
From what I can tell I should create an InfoSet using ZCUBE and potentially a new ODS, but that isn't going to work since you can create InfoSets using InfoCubes in BW 3.5.
So... I am at a loss now. Any assistance would be appreciated!
Thanks-
Nathalie

Thank you very much for your responses!
I went ahead and created a custom ODS (Z_ODS) that contained the keys Material and Plant and had the data field Standard Price. I then created a Multi-Provider to sit on top of the custom cube and the custom ODS. Unfortunately, I am not getting the correct response since the Multi-Provider returns a union of the two infoproviders.
Z_ODS
0Material (key)
0Plant (key)
Standard Price
Z_Cube
0Material (char)
0Plant (char)
Char1 (char)
Char2 (char)
Char3 (char)
0FiscalYear
Key1....
MultiCube
0Material = 0Material
0Plant = 0Plant
Char1
0FiscalYear
Standard Price
Key 1
If I run a query just using Material and Plant in the return, the Standard Price and Key1 are returned correctly. If I include Fiscal Year in the query, the standard price is returned in a row associated to a blank Fiscal Year. See example below.
Query 1
Plant1   Material1   StandardPrice1   Key1
Plant2   Material2   StandardPrice2   Key2
Query 2
FiscalYear2009   Plant1   Material1   #(blank StandardPrice)   Key1
FiscalYear2009   Plant2   Material2   #(blank StandardPrice)   Key2
FiscalYear# (blank) Plant1   Material1   StandardPrice1 #(Blank Key1)
FiscalYear# (blank) Plant2   Material2   StandardPrice2 #(Blank Key2)
I know I should be using an InfoSet, but we are on BW 3.5... so I can't include a cube in an InfoSet.
I believe that the solution will be to add all relevant characteristics to the custom ODS... but that is going to be a much bigger challenge then originally expected. Please let me know if I am missing something... a silver bullet would be much appreciated
Thanks everyone!

FUNCTION EXIT_SAPFP50M_001 - Infotypes with dec fields

Following an upgrade to 4.7 we have a problem with the above function exit in HR. (Function Group XPAD)
Using the SAP example code 'MOVE INNNN to I0008' given in include LXPADF01 produces the following message on activation when we try to use it for infotype 386:
"<b>I0386" and "INNNN" are not mutually convertible. In Unicode programs,
"I0386" must have the same structure layout as "INNNN", independent of
the length of a Unicode character</b>.
All worked Ok in 4.5B and we think it is caused by the fact that the Infotype contains non-character fields causing a conversion problem. Does anyone have an easy solution to this problem?

Don't worry I found the answer myself!!
Using objects/methods
CALL METHOD CL_HR_PNNNN_TYPE_CAST=>PRELP_TO_PNNNN
        EXPORTING
          PRELP = INNNN
        IMPORTING
          PNNNN = I0386.
etc to do the conversion.
