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

Calling a custom Infotype field in Time Management PCR
Dear All,
I need to read a custom Infotype field in TM PCR to read the individual leave entitlement. In my organization there is no employee group wise or Personnel Area wise fixed entitlements for leave. Leave entitlement varies individual to individual based on the contract. We are planning to maintain the individual annual entitlement in a custom infotype n then call this information in PCR to accrue the prorated quota each month.
Is there any standard operation available which can be used to read a custom infotype field or do we need to create a custom operation or function. If so, kindly let me know how to create them.
Appreciate your early response.
Thanks & Regards
SyedSyed,
I am not really sure about it. What I can tell you is that there is standar operation TABLE that is use to read fields from infotype. You may use that operation as a base or maybe just create some enhancement on it (I really don´t if that is possible). Check with your ABAP and have a look on operation table.

Description for value help field for custom infotype field
Hi,
I`ve got to include a field in custom infotype. This field has got a value help attached to it. The values to be displayed in the value help are stored in the domain of the field(in the dictionary).
The requirement is that once I select a value from the F4 help, the description for that value should be fetched and be dispalyed on the screen.
I`m using the FM "<b>AM_READ_TEXT_ON_DOMAIN_VALUE</b>" to read the description from the domain ,but unable to make it display it on the screen.
Can anyone suggest me as what should I do for displaying the description in the custom infotype screen.
Regards,
FarhanaHi anji,
While using the "GET_DOMAIN_VALUES", I do get all the values from the domain. But I want only description to be displayed when I select a Value for that field.Kindly help out..
Eg:
1-Individual
2-Family
Then the description should be displayed as Family when I select the value 2 from the value help.
Regards,
Farhana. -
Hello,
i have WAD report and a chart in it.In this chart we have dates being displayed on the X axis.i date format is 01/01/2008.
Our requirement is to have the date being displayed as
01-jan-2008.
For that i have written a customer exit variable .we have used a funfction module which passes the input as date and converts it in the required format.
FM input:01012008
FM output:01-jan-2008
i concatenated it to format 01jan2008.
But now whn i run the report it gives me the message that the length of field (ZVDAPRD-my variable name) is short
ZVDAPRD(customer exit) is made on the info obj Z_period which is of 8 length(date type). info object output length 10. reference characteristic 0date.
just to try i did format 01jan2008 to 01jan08,but still it gave me some wrong value like '1ja08" is invalid.
please help me to solve this!
also let me know if any other method to achive this.
thanks,

How to make a custom infotype field the time constraint 1?????
Hello everyone I have this challenging question for gurus to answer it.
In custom created infotype for OM Ii have that field called ZZJOBID. When infotype was created I assigned the time constraint 1 for that infotype. That time constraint was base on OBJID not on ZZJOBID. Now the problem I am encountering is when I assign the 2nd ZZJOBID with time span 01011800-12319999 it overwrite the 1st assign ZZJOBID.
for the requirement reason I have to use PO10( not po03). If I change the time constraint to 3 which let me have the multiple records but I am losing the delimit and other functionality which comes with time constraint 1.Suresh,
you are wright when you say that ' Time Constraint is for the Infotype/Subtype record and cannot be based off a field.' The OM infotype runs on bases of Object such as Organizational Unit, Job, etc... The point I was trying to draw is I am looking for a way that allow me to work via TC PO10 which run on Organizational Unit along with different ZZJOBID (with same begda and endda, if needed). -

During ALV report display I am able to see only 128 characters, But when I download it and see the field, the it is showing complete text.
Can anybody help me out?
Thanks,

Re: ALV Grid Display - 255 characters
<i>I found a SAP document called "Using ALV for list display.pdf" that says the following:
"Size of data fields: While the list-based ALVList can display only tables of up to 90 columns, the control-based ALVGrid and ALVFullscreen have the limitation of 128 characters per data cell."</i>

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 AHello All,
Before calling CALL METHOD CL_ALV_TABLE_CREATE=>CREATE_DYNAMIC_TABLE
we can define the length
WHEN 'BATXT'. wa_fcatn-OUTPUTLEN =
20.

Sql*loader field length issue
so I'm loading a file and it's rejected a record where "field in data file exceeds maximum length" the record it's failing on has data length of 625 characters. I'm loading it into a table with a field type of varchar2(1024).
for the life of me, I can't figure out why it's failing. I've even gone and manually copy and pasted the rogue record into the table (via Toad) and it works fine, but I need it to load via SQL*loader.
there is no white space that i'm not counting. Can anyone suggest where to look next?Hi,
Just change the problematic field in the control file as
load
field char(1000),
If you give the length in the control file, ur problem ll be solved.

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 ? -

I was looking out for Global variable to check if its first run. Can you please tell me how do i create global variable in custom infotype? The top include specified in the program is not editable, being standard (MPH5ATOP).

The system will generate an include with the naming convention ZP<Custom Infotype number>10(This program will be included in the custom infotype main program ZP<Customeinfty number>00). You can use this include for your data declarations.
Ex: if the number of the custom infotype is 9010 the generated include name will be ZP901010.

TCURR field TCURR_UKURS - field length is too short
Has ECC6 addressed the field length issue of 9 characters (5 decimals) in table TCURR field UKURS to cater for weak currencies, to avoid using ratios of 1000:1
Hi,
I don't see any issue. UKURS field has 9 characters, that's right; but, as you rightly mentioned, it should not pose any problem considering the ratio. Why ratio of 1000:1 is posing a problem for you?
