Custom Infotype length limitation

Hi,
I have a requirement to create a custom infotype in ECC 6.0 with a table control which can have a maximum of 50 line items. Something similar to basic pay infotype and PA0008. While going through the SAP documentation I found the below statement .
"A new infotype is limited to a maximum of 1000 positions. This restriction is due of the length of structure PRELP, which is used as a container during infotype processing."
This is available at
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60/helpdata/en/60/d8d8c7576311d189270000e8322f96/frameset.htm
In our implementation, each record of standard table PA0008 could go upto 1200 characters with a maximum of 40 line items in the table control. We never used more than 5 line items and never had any problem.
Since the custom table control can have upto 50 line items, each record of my custom table pa9xxxx could go upto 4000 characters and I'm concerned that if this is going to be an issue. Any suggestions in this regard please ?
Thanks for your time,
Kumar.

Hi Venkata
Please see notes 563145 and 1168062 for help
Please also be aware that custom infotypes and the effects of changing structures are the customers responsibility

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

Hi,
From the Screen design perspective ;
Try placing a Text Edit Control in the custom Infotype.
DATA line_len TYPE i VALUE 60. "--- The length you define
DATA g_editor TYPE REF TO cl_gui_textedit.
*1) ---- Create custom container control
*2) ---- Attach Text Edit to Custom container
CREATE OBJECT g_editor
EXPORTING
   parent = g_editor_container
   wordwrap_mode = cl_gui_textedit=>wordwrap_at_fixed_position
   wordwrap_position = line_length
   wordwrap_to_linebreak_mode = cl_gui_textedit=>true.
*3) Read Text in a PAI event, say Save of the Infotype:
DATA g_text TYPE string. "---- Or type TDLINE/the data type to match the size as per requirement
CALL METHOD g_editor->get_text_as_stream
EXPORTING
    only_when_modified = cl_gui_textedit=>false
IMPORTING
    text               = g_text
EXCEPTIONS
    OTHERS             = 1.

Pop up message in custom infotype screen

Hi Expert,
I have one custom infotype with field zzdest ( destination airport) which show all destination airport like mumbai,delhi etc.this
airpot are mainatin in an ztable ZR_HR_DES. while user selecting destination some name will be wrong like mumbay instead of mumbai in the custom table at that time it should show the pop up message that please select mumbai instead of mumbay.
can any one suggest me how to do this.

Mdaddu

When user give a text that is not in your table, you may try to fill an internal table with similar text and then use this internal table in a popup select FM like REUSE_ALV_POPUP_TO_SELECT.
Some way to fill the internal table
- with leftmost part of the name removing rightmost character until you get some records (remove right most character and add wildcard til select returns some records) (will identify incomplete text or error at rightmost characters)
- converting erroneous input to a range replacing every character by a wildcard (DO length(str)/replace sy-tabix character by wildcard and append to a range) (identify a single mistake on a character)
- wait til SAP implements a [Levenshtein distance|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance] rule in SQL...
Remarks: why don't you use an "official" airport code like ICAO or IATA to identify an airport, a text like "Bombay", "Mumbai", "Sahar" or even "Chhatrapati Shivaji" can refer to the same airport, and many cities have more than one airport (eg. Juhu for small private aircraft)

Problem in custom infotype.

Hi friends,
I have two problem on creating custom infotype 9010.
The infotype has 4 field:
docu_type -> subtype field
Docu_number
cost -> DE:WAERS
cost_curr -> DT: Curr length 10 dec 2
I referred the cost to the cost_curr field of the infotype 9010
First Problem
The infotype is created but when I tried to enter the cost via pa30
put 50 on it, and press enter, 50 will be changed into 5000. But when I re-enter again, the ammount remained unchanged.
2nd Problem.
For the infotype i need to give a further information on the screen.
Such as that, it looks like the screen on IT0022 where when you put the educational establishment, the text of the subtype appears beside it. How do I suppose to do things like that with my infotype so that when I enter 4 as the subtype field, the subtype text appears.
Thanks

prob 1 .
what is the reference field u have given for the currency of ur 9010 table .. just check the reference field u have given for currency ..
how are u handling this in the pai part of the code , can u just make the field pass to a char field and then reassign it to the screen field .. for primary investigation.
prob 2.
u need to maintain a field just adjacent field in the layout as ouput field only . and populate this field with the suitable text once u enter the subtype field which is input field .
this u need to do in the pai part of the infotype mp901000 code ..
if p-styp is not initial .. "subtype is present fire the text part .
populate text to screen field p9010-stxt.
endif.

Dear Friends,
For custom infotype In PQAH report generation we are getting message as u201CError when generating the report (see long text)u201D.Is there any restriction for field lengths & characters in report generation. Please give me a solution about this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Satya

Dear Friends,
We have total 27 output fields in this custom infotype. If I will select some output fields in that custom infotype pqah report is generating. But if I will select all out put fields that specific infotype then system is showing that error message in report generation.
Thanks in advance,

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!

E1 Cable Length Limitation

I need to know the E1 cable length limitations,in meters? Actually i've a customer who needs to extend their E1's from the basement to DataCenter Room and you people know the UTP Cable limitation. So which type of device should i refer to them for this purpose.

UTP gauge 22, typical attenuation, should cover 1000 feet ( > 300 m) without problem.
Make sure you use proper cable and respect the pair twisting, that is NOT like ethernet.

DHCPv6 Custom Prefix Length

Hi all,
I've been trying to implement dhcpv6 with Windows Server 2012. Due to our ISP not offering native IPv6 access, we went through a third party tunnel provider to have ipv6 internet connectivity. What I need to do however, is set a custom prefix length for
our dhcp server. Our tunnel provider gave us a /48 block to use for hosts, but windows will only let me create a /64 size scope. Any ideas? The prefix size needs to be /48 in order for this to work correctly. All of our routers are already setup, and we attempted
to use static ipv6 configuration to do a test for configuration, which has succeeded. The only issue is dhcp giving out ipv6 with /48 prefix to work with tunnel provider. Any ideas? We use Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows Server 2012, if that helps.

I'll comment between your questions/comments:
JC - first off, in IPv6 there is the concept/operations known as Address Autoconfiguration. This process requires up to 2 components in a network system: L3 switches or router to send Router Advertisements - which tells client how to do all this, and then
possibly DHCPv6 servers to provide clients with IPv6 addresses and/or "other information" like dns, domain name, time srvr, download srvr, etc.
This taes a bit to get used to, as well as sometimes a bit of work to "discover" what all is needed and how to properly configure.
a) the DHCPv6 route is not advertised, so the distributed dynamic IPv6 addresses are useless (no connectivity between hosts); there is a manual/temporary netsh override for that, but I don't think this is the proper way to go.
JC - clients learn the default gateway via the router's Router Advertisement (RA). RFC3315 (DHCPv6) does not provide a scope option for def g/w. You should not manually enter an IPv6 def g/w.
b) Here might be another issue, I don't know how I configured the DHCPv6 role in past (stateless vs stateful), perhaps that's the problem, need to look deeper into it, but either way our outdated networking infrastructure (routers and switches) is not aware
of IPv6 protocol at all, it probably doesn't help that I don't even know how the DHCPv6 role was configured in past.
JC - if you want a DHCPv6 server to supply IPv6 addresses and DNS/domain name, etc to clients, that role is Stateful. If you want DHCPv6 to supply only DNS, domain name, etc and the RA supply the network prefix (SLAAC), that role is Stateless (SLAAC plus
some DHCPv6).
Stateful (DHCPv6) operations are the closest to how we run DHCP for IPv4 networks today.
c) I assigned static IPv6 /112 addresses to servers (and they work fine including the DNS lookups) and was hoping to have the same prefix/subnet for clients, instead I get up to 4 different IPv6 addresses on servers (static, dynamic, temporary route, link-local)
and just one address on clients and that one belonging to that dynamic prefix (not what I wanted to have initially) ...
JC - all IPv6 subnets should be /64 for 64 bit network and 64 bit Interface ID (IID) (host address), most OSs will be happier and that is the defined standard way of operating IPv6. Also as you have seen, Microsoft's DHCPv6 server does not allow you to change
the network prefix (/64).
You will always have link-local addresses, and if you are getting the IPv6 and IPv6 Temp, then your RA on the subnet is sending RA's with the "A" flag on for SLAAC, and of you have a static addresses defined for servers on the server vlan, you don't want
SLAAC config on that vlan.
d) How do I fix IP Helper on our core router to pass the IPv6 DHCP requests to other VLANs (currently they are blocked/discarded), it seems that IPv4 IP Helper doesn't work for IPv6?
JC - IPv4 and IPv6 are TOTALLY separate protocols. Everything you do for IPv4, needs a counterpart enabled for IPv6. No IPv4 config does anything for IPv6.
You need a dhcpv6-relay definition which is the IPv6 counterpart to dhcp-relay/IP helper-address...see your L3 switch/router vendor docs for configuring dhcpv6-relay.
Is it all by design then and re-installing DHCPv6 server in stateful mode won't change that or I am missing something completely?
JC - Correct, simply having Stateful (DHCPv6) is not all there is to it. You must configure your RA to instruct IPv6 clients how to address themselves. According to the IPv6 RFCs, clients are told how to address themselves (except for manual addressing),
which is not like the way IPv4 operates.
All your IPv6 config components need to be specifically configured in order for the system you want to work correctly, to work. IPv6 routing, specific option flags in the RA's, dhcpv6-relay, and DHCPv6 scopes. You can't (generally) just "turn on" IPv6 and
have it work (the way you think it should).
IPv6 is quite a beast, but it seems that majority of windows server admins (like me) have limited knowledge on how to configure it properly, resulting in some unexpected outcomes and gotchas ... then days of troubleshooting and then another gotcha ... I
browsed technet for days/weeks and either end up finding unresolved IPv6 "issue" threads where nobody knows what is what or some super-complicated solutions that truly work only for a few ... frustrating ...
JC - IPv6 is not a simple "turn-it-on" protocol, as there are differences in its operation as you see. There 5 great IPv6 books you should consider getting:
Guide to TCP/IP, 4th edition - IPv4 and IPv6 TCP/IP foundations, operations, and examples
Practical IPv6 for Windows Administrators
Understanding IPv6
IPv6 Fundamentals
IPv6 Essentials (but wait for the 3rd edition coming out in July)
Check out gogo6.com/main and view the IPv6 webinar/workshop training calendar. A few of us have facilitated some basic IPv6 trng webinars. I think the schedule is being worked on at the moment, but more classes should be coming.
Additionally, I offer IPv6 Forum Certified training. teachmeipv6.com and I provide IPv6 consulting services.
Hmm...maybe I'll design a webinar for configuring a system like you are doing: L3 switch/router configuration and server side DHCPv6 config. I currently facilitate IPv6 hands-on lab workshops (full day) that cover all of this content.

Error while editing an automaticlly populated record of a custom infotype

hi,
a query in HR ABAP.
i have created a custom Infotype to store the CTC details of an employee. this custom IT needs to get the records auto populated, when they are created in Infotype 0008.
i have used the exit. EXIT_SAPFP50M_002 inside which an include program is written :ZXPADU02
using this, the records made to get create automatically in the custom IT.
but when we try to modify or delete those records thru the tcode PA30,
it does not allow to do so and throws a standard error message. as below.
Specified subtype is invalid
Message no. PG088
please help me out to fix this issue.

the exact point of the std error is,
i do the folowing steps.
1)_ for auto creating a record in custom IT Pa**** , i goto transaction, PA30, create record in IT 0008 with a basic Pay., click on save.
on saving , the EXIT_SAPFP50M_002 is called where i ve written a Z inlcude Program, which inserts the record in custom IT PA****. this is successful.
2) when i try to change or delete the same record which i ve created as above, through the Tcode PA30 for custom IT, PA
****, i get the error.
hope the problem is clearly mentioned

About to use HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION to create customer infotype issue:

hi
i want to create infotype use function(HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION).
this infotype is customer infotype.
the first scenario is:
i'm be sure no data about one employee in this infotype(9004).
to call with data upload function and put data into internal table IT_PA9004.
and the table data as follow:
one line: it_pa9004-pernr = '11022887' ,it_pa9004-subty = 'FQ03',
          it_pa9004-begda = '20080201' , it_pa9004-endda = '20080930'
          it_pa9004-zzvalue = 50 (customer field).
two line:it_pa9004-pernr = '11022887' ,it_pa9004-subty = 'FQ03',
          it_pa9004-begda = '20080201' , it_pa9004-endda = '20080930'
          it_pa9004-zzvalue = 60 (customer field).
three line:it_pa9004-pernr = '11022887' ,it_pa9004-subty = 'FQ03',
          it_pa9004-begda = '20080101' , it_pa9004-endda = '20081031'
          it_pa9004-zzvalue = 70 (customer field).
four line:it_pa9004-pernr = '11022887' ,it_pa9004-subty = 'FQ03',
          it_pa9004-begda = '20080101' , it_pa9004-endda = '20081031'
          it_pa9004-zzvalue = 80 (customer field).
i run the programme and get information is:
11022887 insert ok.
11022887 insert ok.
11022887 insert ok.
11022887 insert ok.
but i use the transation PA30 to view all data:
in database just exist one row:
four line:it_pa9004-pernr = '11022887' ,it_pa9004-subty = 'FQ03',
          it_pa9004-begda = '20080101' , it_pa9004-endda = '20081031'
          it_pa9004-zzvalue = 80 (customer field).
the second scenario is:
in database the infotype have exist one row:
           pa9004-pernr = '11022887' ,it_pa9004-subty = 'FQ02',
           pa9004-begda = '20080318' , pa9004-endda = '20080318'
           pa9004-zzvalue = X (customer field).
and i create another row:
line:it_pa9004-pernr = '11022887' ,it_pa9004-subty = 'FQ02',
          it_pa9004-begda = '20080318' , it_pa9004-endda = '99991231'
          it_pa9004-zzvalue = 80 (customer field)
i run the programme and get information is:
11022887 insert ok.
the three scenario is:
    set HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION of import parameter operation = 'MOD'

what heppend about HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION working,i had to use this function to
   create other infotype of SAP owner.
   and will create successfully.
so i thank it may be config Constraints about customer infotype.
is time Constraints effect?
so i want to how to check it?
and if i want to create one infotype for customer using PM01 what some thing

hi
i want to create infotype use function(HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION).
this infotype is customer infotype.
the first scenario is:
i'm be sure no data about one employee in this infotype(9004).
to call with data upload function and put data into internal table IT_PA9004.
and the table data as follow:
one line: it_pa9004-pernr = '11022887' ,it_pa9004-subty = 'FQ03',
          it_pa9004-begda = '20080201' , it_pa9004-endda = '20080930'
          it_pa9004-zzvalue = 50 (customer field).
two line:it_pa9004-pernr = '11022887' ,it_pa9004-subty = 'FQ03',
          it_pa9004-begda = '20080201' , it_pa9004-endda = '20080930'
          it_pa9004-zzvalue = 60 (customer field).
three line:it_pa9004-pernr = '11022887' ,it_pa9004-subty = 'FQ03',
          it_pa9004-begda = '20080101' , it_pa9004-endda = '20081031'
          it_pa9004-zzvalue = 70 (customer field).
four line:it_pa9004-pernr = '11022887' ,it_pa9004-subty = 'FQ03',
          it_pa9004-begda = '20080101' , it_pa9004-endda = '20081031'
          it_pa9004-zzvalue = 80 (customer field).
i run the programme and get information is:
11022887 insert ok.
11022887 insert ok.
11022887 insert ok.
11022887 insert ok.
but i use the transation PA30 to view all data:
in database just exist one row:
four line:it_pa9004-pernr = '11022887' ,it_pa9004-subty = 'FQ03',
          it_pa9004-begda = '20080101' , it_pa9004-endda = '20081031'
          it_pa9004-zzvalue = 80 (customer field).
the second scenario is:
in database the infotype have exist one row:
           pa9004-pernr = '11022887' ,it_pa9004-subty = 'FQ02',
           pa9004-begda = '20080318' , pa9004-endda = '20080318'
           pa9004-zzvalue = X (customer field).
and i create another row:
line:it_pa9004-pernr = '11022887' ,it_pa9004-subty = 'FQ02',
          it_pa9004-begda = '20080318' , it_pa9004-endda = '99991231'
          it_pa9004-zzvalue = 80 (customer field)
i run the programme and get information is:
11022887 insert ok.
but in database just exist the first data
           pa9004-pernr = '11022887' ,it_pa9004-subty = 'FQ02',
           pa9004-begda = '20080318' , pa9004-endda = '20080318'
           pa9004-zzvalue = X (customer field).
the three scenario is:
    set HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION of import parameter operation = 'MOD'
    in any scenario will get error :not exist subtype .
what heppend about HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION working,i had to use this function to
   create other infotype of SAP owner.
   and will create successfully.
so i thank it may be config Constraints about customer infotype.
is time Constraints effect?
so i want to how to check it?

How to create the custom infotypes in Campus Management

Hi,
Please help me how to create the custom infotypes in campus management.
Thanks,
Lakshmi.

Hi,
Steps to create a HR Infotype:
1) Go to Transaction PM01.
2) Enter the custom Infotype number which you want to create (Should be a 4 digit number, start with 9).
3) Select the 'Employee Infotype' radio button.
4) Select the 'PS Structure Infotype'.
5) Click on Create... A separate table maintenance window appears...
6) Create a PS structure with all the fields you want on the Infotype
7) Save and Activate the PS structure
8) Go back to the initial screen of PM01.
9) Click on 'All' push button. It takes a few moments.
10) Click on 'Technical Characteristics'. Infotype list screen appears
11) Click on 'Change'(pencil) button
12) Select your Infotype and click on 'Detail' (magnifying glass) button
13) Give 'T591A' as subtype table
14) Give 'T591S' as subtype txt tab
15) Give your subtype field as subtype field
16) Save and come back to PM01 initial screen
17) Click on 'Infotype Characteristics' ... Infotype list screen appears
18) Click on 'Change' (pencil) button
19) Click on 'New Entries'
20) Enter your Infotype number and short text
21) Here we have to set different Infotype Characteristics as per the requirement. (Better open another session with some standard Infotype's infotype characteristics screen and use as the reference to fill yours)
22) Save your entries.
23) Now the Infotype is created and ready to use.
24) If you want to change the layout of the Infotype as per your requirement...
25) In the PM01 initial screen...Select 'Screen' radio button and give 2000 as the screen name, then click on edit.
26) In the next screen.. Select 'Layout Editor' and click 'Change'.
27) Screen default layout appears...here you can design/modify the screen..change the attributes of the fields..etc.
28) Save and activate. (Don't forget to 'Activate at every level)
Subtype Creation :
Transaction PM01 Goto Subtype Characteristics. Click on Append and then subtype. Enter the name and description of subtype on screen.
Then goto technical Characteristics and maintain the details of subtype there. I.e name of subtype i.e. component name defined in PSnnnn. Subtype table is T591A.
Subty.text tab is T591S and time const tab is T591A.
