Custom field in Infotype via custom table

Hi experts,
I have the following scenario:
1.I have added a new custom field to the standard PA infotype through PM01.
2.The field is a code(e.g contract code) and the contract desciption is to be strored in a separate custom table.
My question is:
How/where to write the code to insert values into the custom table ,when such infotype is created?Is there a standard function module for this?Any sample/pseudo code would be highly helpful.
thanks in advance,
KC

Pleae see my comments to your questions:
1.This one relates to pont 2 of your reply:How and where to declare the custom table as a check table in the CI?in SE11?when I open the infotype table in SE11 and try to declare the 'contract code' as a check field,I am being asked the access key.Please let me know if there is a correct way of doing so.
Go to SE11. Give the main table name associated to the Infotype(PANNNN). Click display. Scroll to the bottom and you see te CI include associated with it. Double click on it. It shows you the details of the fleds and in the include. Go to Change mode here. It does not ask for the access key as this is your custom extension. Scroll to the right and you can assoicate the master table as check table against the field.
PS:You can go to CI include directly in edit mode also from SE11.
2.In the infotype entry screen,If I want to show the only those values of the 'contract code' which are present in the custom table,what is the best advised solution?
I implemented this also on our extension. You add the value help in the module pool and add custom search help code there.
This way you can display the code and its description in the search help.

Please let me know if any one has solution on this.
Thanks,

Updating Custom table when updating infotype

HI
A custom transaction needs to be created for maintenance of the table in future as the values could change. Whenever infotype 0015 values are changed are updated this custom table values should need to update.Could you please suggest me..

I also suggest you to lock only the entry that will be updated (and not the whole table!) : you will have then far less problems of conflict with updating this table.
For that, you have to create a lock object on your table (via SE11 - for example EZ_MY_TABLE). This will create 2 function modules named ENQUEUE_E<name of your lock object> (in my example ENQUEUE_EZ_MY_TABLE) and DEQUEUE_E<...>.
You can then call those FM like this :
CALL FUNCTION 'ENQUEUE_EZ_MY_TABLE'
EXPORTING
    MODE_RSTABLE = 'S'
    KEYFIELD1 = ld_keyfield1 " Here are the key values for the entry that you have to update
    KEYFIELD2 = ld_keyfield2
EXCEPTIONS
    FOREIGN_LOCK = 1
    SYSTEM_FAILURE = 2
    OTHERS = 3.

How to Track the changes made to the custom table field value

I want to track the changes made to the custom table field value in table maintenance generator.please help me it is very urgent
Thanks & Regards,
Kranti

Hi Satya,
These are the steps you've to do.
1. Enable the change document flag in the data element level for the fields of the tables you want to monitor.
2. Go to transaction SCDO. Create a new change object, and add your table to this object. After generation, you'll get a function module.
3. Call this function module in the table maintainence generator screen, after the data is saved to the database table. This function module automaticallly writes the changes, with the old and new values, and the fields that were changed to the tables CDHDR and CDPOS.
4. You can keep track of the changes made to the table by monitoring these tables.

How to do a Search help on SAP structure field listing custom table data?

i have a SAP screen (Trans KE52) that they want to have a drop down (search help on).
The drop down should list values from a custom table.
How do you do this?
The values to be displayed are NOT from a structure table but from a transparent table. i believe I will need a search FM to do this but not sure how it is to be done.
Any one have ideas?
Thanks!
Scott

Hi Scott,
You need to go to SE11 and look for a searh help that match your requirment or build one.
In case you are going to develop one, in the definition tab of the search help look for the selection method and put in the input field the name of your transparent table.
After that you must specify the fields that you need to appear at the list and the one that is going to be selected for your field. This step you have to do it on the search help parameter grid.

Eric

Custom Table Currency field with 5 decimals

Hello,
I have created a custom table and it has a field for 'US Plan Cost'. The users wanted it with 5 Decimals. I have created a custom domain and custom data element of DEC Type with 5 Decimals.
Domain: ZCOST: Data Type: DEC, No. of Characters: 11, Decimal Places: 5.
However When I am trying to create entries in the table though, it's giving me error: Input must be in the format _____,_____,_____,_____~._____
The entry that I am creating is: 1.23450.
I dont know what went wrong? Can anybody please help me?
Thanks Much.

Are you doing this with SM30? or from a program? If a program, be sure your data value is precisely '1.23450'. It sounds like you're inputting something else...
Or, post code?

i want to change field 7 as key field.
Can i do perform operation??
when i am tryingto perform bove operation it is taking long time to get the table activated.
Could any one please help me in getting this resolved.
regards,
Sravanthi.

Use DB Utility (se14) to perform alter table or conversion. The latter is used when atemps to perform first operation fails. Which one is used, really depends on system and current DB table state (i.e. if has any content and what is being adjusted).
The way Max suggested is similar to [conversion process|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/cf/21f1b8446011d189700000e8322d00/content.htm] which system takes care of itself.
Refer [Adjusting Database Structures|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/cf/21f1ab446011d189700000e8322d00/content.htm] and already given link to conversion.
Please also consider potential errors while doing conversion . This can lead to data loss, so you should think of some backup to prevent that.

Search help for fields in custom table..

hi,
in my custom table i have two fields - table name and field name. when user selects table name as VBAP , for field names i need all the fields in VBAP to be displayed and for that I set the check table as DD03L and I am able to see all the fields. But i am not able to see the description of the fields rather seeing field name , other key fields of DD03L.
How do i get to display something like
field name - description - length (length of the field as defined in DDIC)
If search help will help then can u pl tell me how to create one ? or any standard can be used ?
thanks

Yes, you need to create search help and assign it to the field 'field name'
Please search SDN for how to create search help. There are 100's of threads with this
By the way the texts can be found in table DD03T for tables as well as for fields

Hi,
I have a custom table with 5 fields - say A, B, C, D and E. While populating data to the table through SM30, I need to create a F4 help for the field C. A custom function module needs to be used.
I have created a module for the same in the event PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST of the function group of the table.
But the F4 for field C depends on the values put in fields A and B.
I am not able to get the values of fields A and B from within the module PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
Please help me to create the F4 help.

This is the piece of code i have used in one of my SM30 to get f4. mopdify according to ur need and use.
