Creation of field without data element

Hi all,
i want to create a field SLNO without data element, i.e. by assigning direct data type NUMC.
by doing so while activating it is giving the below message.
"The table must be adjusted by unloading and reloading
it in the database. This function has a long runtime and should
not be performed while the table is being used for production."
"If you want to start the adjustment nevertheless,
select a processing type and choose 'Adjust'.
Otherwise choose 'Terminate'."
pls let me know which is better i.e. by assingning direct data type, or else can i create a data element with type as 'NUMC'.
Regards,
venkat

hi venkat,
when creating the db table in se 11 ,if u want to use predefined data type ie char,numc,date etc ... With in se14,in fields tab, click predefined type button which is placed in the first row along with cut ,delete icons.
When u click predefinedtype button, the field named data type will be enabled and its there ready for editing.Choose the data type u need and data length etc.
If u r creating the db for the first time, there is no need for , adjusting the db table using se14.
But if u r trying to edit a db ,that is already been created , then make neccessary changes in the db and go to se14. There give ur edited db name, and click "activate and adjust database " button...Ensure that "save data " option button is selected.
Note:
If u r making any structural  changes in already existing db ,then use se14 to adjust ,save and activate the db.
Hope the content is usefull
please change the problem  status if its resolved .Thank you.
thanks

  • Without data element can we create table

    without data element is it possible to create table
    if it is possible how ?
      could u plz expain steps.

    Hi,
    Yes u can create table without data element.
    In that case in place of Data element u need to specify the Predefined type.
    Enter the name of field and the press on Built-In type button. This will disable the data element entry fields and enable the Built-in type field where in u can put the predefined type like CHAR, INT1 etc.

  • EEWB : in CRM 4.0 adding  field with data element = table type

    Hi,
    Do you have experience in CRM4.0 to add a customer field with data element that is a table type ?

    Marie,
    I don't believe it is possible in CRM 4.0.  Another drawback of the EEWB is that you can't add currency or quantity fields using the EEWB tool.
    Good Luck,

  • Description of field from data element in table control

    hello people !!! I need help !!
    I’m using a table control in my module pool program. I create this table through wizard, taking the fields from an internal table. This internal table was defined like this:
    Table Control ; posting items
    DATA: t_postitems  TYPE stucture_fd OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
    Where  <b>stucture_fd</b> is strucuture with the fields.
    The problem that I have is that the titles of the fields does not take their description from the data element.
    How I create this table control from the internal table and that takes the description from the data element? It is very important this, because this development will be used in different languages.
    From already I am thanking for any answer.
    Thank so much.
    Best regards, Esther.

    Gracias, es mas facil para mi en espanol.
    tables: tab_prb.
    types: begin of <b>ti</b>.
               include structure <b>tab_prb</b>.
    types: end of <b>ti</b>.
    data: <b>ti_b</b>kpf type table of ti,
             <b>wa_bkpf</b> type ti.
    Explicacion:
    tab_prb, es una tabla transparent que contiene la estructura <b>struct_fd</b> que tiene los campos mas un flag para la seleccion de fila (flag).
    Defini esta tabla transparente, para que los campos tomen su decripcion desde los elementos de datos.
    Si creo el TB directo de la tabla tab_prb, no me permite seleccionar el campo flag como campo de seleccion, cuya funcion es marcar linea simple.
    Si yo hago la definicion anterior en mi programa, cuando creo el TB, va todo bien, hasta <b>ti_bkpf</b> que seria mi tabla interna, pero cuando me pide el work area, le ingreso <b>wa_bkpf</b> me indica que no esta definido en mi programa o ne es una estrucutura.
    Espero haber aclarado un poco mi respuesta.
    Muchas gracias !!!

  • IDOC Creation - structure has no data elements

    Hello,
    I've encounted the following situation when creating a new custom idoc:
    The structure in the data dictionary does not have any components (Data elements) associated with each field. (i.e if you view the structure using se11).  This is causing problems when trying to build ALE conversion rules using BD79 as you cannot tell which field is which for conversions with muliple conditions.
    Does anyone know how to get data elements against the fields in the dictionary structure.  Standard SAP idocs appear to have them - see E1MARCM.
    (we are using version 4.7)
    Any help would be appreciated,
    Thanks!

    Anita,
    I am assuming that although you are creating a custom idoc you are referring to  standard strucutre already existing for your segment.
    I am not very clear here, how did you create the segment. Can you clarify on the same?
    regards,
    Ravi

  • Supressing fields without data in IDOC

    Hi ,
    I am new to IDocs and we have a requirement.
    when we are sending some IDOCs (ARTMAS05), the size of the file comes to around 2 MB and the frequency is hourly.
    We do not need all the fields. Is there any way where we can suppress the fields which are without data and send only those fields that are filled with data.

    Now I have to add the same field ( data element ) to segment While adding it is giving system error as " Error while resetting the release of segment ZE1XXXXXX_01"
    Kindly let me know what to do ?
    Thanks in advance

  • Finding Short Text for selected Data Element

    Hi all,
    I need to find the short description using a data element (technical name) as a search criteria, where you can use trxn SE12 to search for its short description.
    e.g. KEY = 'Synchronization key'
           SPRAS = 'Language Key'
           VBELN = 'Sales and Distribution Document Number'
    In my ABAP program, I have a list of data elements (technical name) but I want its short description to be displayed.
    Can someone shed of light of how to achieve the above?
    Thanks and regards,
    Patrick

    Field DDTEXT Table DD04T will return the short description of the data element. Also pass language 'E' in DDLANGUAGE field and data element name in ROLLNAME.
    For short description use field: DDTEXT
    For Short Field Label use field : SCRTEXT_S
    For medium Field Label use field : SCRTEXT_M
    For medium Field Label use field: SCRTEXT_L
    For heading Use Filed: REPTEXT

  • Data element change

    Hi
    I have created a custom table and created a data elemnent of type NUMC.
    It has reached production . The table entries are created in production.
    Now the users want to change the data element to char.
    if the data element is changed from numc to char and released to production ,w ill the existing entries will be deleted ??
    reg
    Ramya

    Hi Ramya S  ,
    You have created a data element of type NUMC, which means some field in ur table has data type NUMC right? And now users want it to be CHAR right?
    Well definitely this field must be used in some program right?
    You have 2 ways :
    1)  You can change the data element, the entries won't get deleted. But yes slight change in format will take place, like preceding zeros will be seen in character format as per the length on the field defined...well thats because different data types have their own features.
    2)  Another way is keep the data element same as NUMC.
    and you can change the data type of the field which you are using, in the code itself.
    For Example : You have a field value a of type numc defined in table.
    when defining internal table to use this field...u will as usual define it and it wud be in NUMC datatype.
    then you can declare another variable b of type char of specific length and then assign a to b.
    E.g.:
    Table : EMPLOYEE
    Field  :EMPLOYEE_NO                
    Data Element  : ZEMP_NO
    Data Type : NUMC
    In Code :
    Declaring Internal Table ***
    Data : Begin of itab,
                 employee_no  TYPE employee-zemployee_no,
              End of itab.
    Variable of type CHAR ***
    Data : employee_no_new(10) TYPE c.
    Assigning old value to new variable ***
    employee_no_new  = itab-employee_no.
    now all the values will have properties of data type CHAR. You can even send it to production...won't give any problems...
    I have just given an example...you can try this for the feld you have created. Hope this helps you.
    If any more doubts, do revert

  • NAKISA-CHANGE DATA ELEMENT

    Hi ,
    I have enhanced the RFC interface '/NAKISA/OC_POSITION_DETAIL' by adding a new Export table .
    However,this new export table is not reflected in NAKISA Admin Console when i am doing the operation " Edit/Create new data element connecting to SAP RFC"
    for the data element "PositionDetailDataElement"  under Export Tables Section.
    Am I missing anything?....
    Thanks!
    Sunitha

    Dear Sunitha,
    Below the step i'm do for enhanced RFC interface :-
    Step 1 : Copy RFC
    In transaction code SE37, copy RFC /NAKISA/OC_POSITION_DETAIL to a new custom
    RFC ZNAKISA_OC_POSITION_DETAIL (including its corresponding INCLUDE programs).
    Step 2: Go to Data Center > Edit/Create new data element connecting to SAP RFC
    Step 3: Check the checkbox to change the desired data element and click Next button.
    Step 4: Search custom RFC by clicking on magnifying glass icon > click Ok to confirm.
    *Note: Take a screenshot of ALL the configurations (import parameters, exported tables, field mappings, data field captions, data element properties etc) of the data element, changing to another RFC will refresh all configurations of the data element. Ensure that all configurations are the same as before, except that the RFC name has changed
    Examples of configurations:
    FYR –#1 Take a screenshot of the import parameters for all 3 pages, then do the same configurations after you’ve modified the RFC name.
    FYR –#2 Take a screenshot of the exported tables, then do the same configurations after you’ve modified the RFC name.
    FYR –#3 Take a screenshot of the data element properties for all 5 pages, then do the same configurations after you’ve modified the RFC name.

  • Creation of Data Element

    Hi,
    I am working on special project of Automation of all utility billing and housing system for a big company in SAP.
    For that I have to create 26 tables and obviously I am creating a lot of dataelements.
    Now the problem is my quality dept says that I should use the inbuilt data elements and refrain from creating new ones. In this case the field label is not matching my field. He says that who is going to see the table and says that you can change the field description in reports as you like. Is it justified.
    I can see that there are more than 500 standard datalements created for  a char field of length 4 by SAP. but none of the description matches my field description. if the case is of reducing the load then does sap recommend not to create z data elements. 
    Can we create dataelement just for the sake of field label and what is the other purpose of a dataelement if not
    How much load will be generated by creating a dataelement.
    kindly give some insight into the need to create dataelements.

    Hi!
    If your Quality people are that much particular about creation of data elements, there is one way to solve this problem. Use standard data elements.
    I know here you will get a doubt that after creating a maintenance generator you will not be able to see the description whatever you want in SM30. For this follow the below procedure.
    While creating maintenance generator you will give the function group name right, go to SE80 -> and give the function group name there -> double click on the screen number of maintenance -> click on element list tab -> click on 'Texts/I/O templates' tab -> now against the field names under 'Text or I/O Field' column remove the value '+____________' and type the field description there -> repeat the procedure for all the fields -> now save, check and activate the screen as well as function group.
    Now if you go to SM30, you can see the field description for every field.
    This is somewhat time consuming, but it may help you.
    Reward points, if useful.

  • Display Help for Field not referred through Data Elements in ALV

    Hi,
    I am working on a report program where the output is in ALV_LIST display format.The internal table used to define the field catalog contains fields that are not declared using Data elements.For these fields, when i press F1 from the output, the message I receive is 'No Document Available'.Can someone tell me how I can attach a help document to these fields without creating a new data element for each of these fields....
    For eg : My internal table that forms the field catalog is
      Data : Begin of i_itab occurs 0,
             matnr like mara-matnr,
             Name(50),
             end of i_itab.
    When this table is displayed in ALV, if F1 is pressed on the field matnr the corresponding dictionary help pops out.But since the field Name has no help document attached to it, i cannot view any help for this..Kindly tell me how i can attach my own help document to this field.
    Thanks,
    Swathi

    Hi,
    This issue was solved using the followiing steps.
    1. There is a parameter 'IT_EVENT_EXIT 'in the FM REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY or REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY.
    2.Set the value of the field of this paramter as
    EXIT-UCOMM= '&ELP'  " F1
    EXIT-BEFORE = 'X'
    This will make the control go directly to the user command functio written inside the program rather than the standard SAP define duser command....
    3. Inside the perform -usercommand in the ALV program use the FM HELP_DOCULINES_SHOW to show the appropriate help document
    This method may be used to display help text for those fields/columns in the ALV which are not referred to the fields/data elements in the data dictionary tabel
