Data Dictionary - Default Fields

Hai Friends,
                 This is Ramu. Can anyone help me
How to make Fields of a Table in Disable Mode and How to Populate Values when it is New Entry or Update.
Ex: I have 5 fields in my table.
             Date
             Time
             UserName
             Indicator
             System No.
                       So, before giving the values. Date, Time and User Name should be in disable mode. and after giving SystemNo.
the Date, Time and User Name need to be Populated.
                        At the same time, when it is a New Entry "Indicator" need to be populated with "I New Entry". And if we make any changes to the Existing values then Indicator need to populate into "U Update Entry".
              Thank u.

ALV fields which are not referenced to data dictionary table fields

Hello,
I am using function module reuse_alv_popup_to_select.
How do I display fields in ALV which are not referenced to
data dictionary table fields.
I am showing 4 columns in alv out of which first column is checkbox
and remaining 3 columns are from data dictionary and it works fine.
Now I need to add one more column which is of type checkbox.
I have added this field in my ITAB as flag(1) type C.
When I add this flag field in the field catalog, I get exception.
Regards,
Vishal.

Hey guys,
Finally I got rid of such a stupid problem.
There were no problem in the code.
while assigning fieldname to field catalog I had given fieldname
in lowercase.
I changed it to uppercase and problem got solved.
Thanks,
Vishal.

Identity DB field in Data Dictionary Table

Hi
I am using NW04 SP9
I created a Data Dictionary DC and created a new TABLE.
I need one of the fields to be an IDENTITY field (that generates an ID automatically whenever a new record is craeted).
Q1. Is the Data Dictionary DC and Plug in (of NW04 SP9) support such a feature?
Q2. If the answer is no, what are my alternatives?

Hi,
the enqueue method in question is called
getUniqueIncreasingNumber()
There is another SDN forum thread describing its invocation pretty well:
Autogenerate Primary Key
(in this thread you can also view the invocation of guid based strings, as guid based generation executes locally, it is a good idea to use it if primary keys can be strings, contrary, enqueue invocation implies connecting to the enqueue instance)
You can view the Javadoc for getUniqueIncreasingNumber()
in the local documentation of your Developer Studio installation (API WAS/J2EE Engine/com.sap.services.......applocking),
i just copy and paste it here:
"getUniqueIncreasingNumber
public long getUniqueIncreasingNumber()
throws com.sap.engine.frame.core.locking.TechnicalLockException
Returns a number with the following properties:
every method-call returns a higher number than the previous ones
the number contains the timestamp of the central server, so this will work correctly in a distributed environment and also after a restart of the cluster
This number can be used for every purpose, it is not locking-specific.
ATTENTION: if the system-time of the central server is changed this will probably not work correctly any more."
Note that the precondition is that you never change the system time of the Enqueue Instance (what is indeed in general not allowed in SAP systems, see the SAP note #771577). In the case of enqueue replication server, both system clocks have to be synchronized.
good luck, Katarzyna

Mandatory custom metadata field with current system date as default value.

I want to create a custom metadata field of type Date. I want to make it mandatory and want to set its default value as system date.
I have already created field of type Date. What expression I should write to make system date as default value?
Because its a mandatory field, what would happen to existing content. Will there metadata get updated?
Thanks
Sanjeev

Default Data for Document Fields D_CUII_TYP

Hi experts,
I am trying to define default data for document fields in Export Switzerland.
Source field is G_IMPCN, target field is D_CUII_TYP.
I create the following master data, i.e.
G_IMPCN = 39095000
D_CUII_TYP = FREI
meaning if G_IMPCN is 39095000 then Legal Document Type FREI is being created automatically.
Then I run the default data function on document level but nothing happens.
The log shows G_IMPCN with value 39095000 but D_CUII_TYP = FREI is missing.
Do you have any idea what else I should do to resolve this issue ?
Many thanks for help which is much appreciated.
Best regards,
Corinne

Hi Corine,
Be careful with the logs, they are quite confusing as sometimes it displays the value it is looking for and sometimes the value it has foud. And sometimes the green and red lights are wrong or put in a logic that is confusing.
Most likely it does not find the value because it is looking in the Import numbering in the import scheeme. Did you try with STAWN ? At any rate, if I may suggest, you need to setup the system with having the commodity code in the Declaration, because if you do not have the Scheme CHEXP defined in the Scheme for commodity code you are going to face trouble when trying to retransfer the Tarification to the feeder System.
Keep me posted.

Indexes in data dictionary

Hi all,
            can anyone tell me what is the process of creating a secondary index.?
            can we create a secondary index if a field is assigned with primary key?
             can we create secondary index for a mara table field?
            when we click on INDEXES in data dictionary ---> database table by selecting a field then we get unique index and non-unquie index, what does that mean?
regards,
satish

What is Secondary Index:
first i will tell u little about primary index.
The primary index contains the key fields of the table and a pointer to the non-key fields of the table. The primary index is created automatically when the table is created in the database.
You can create further indexes on a table in the ABAP Dictionary. These are called secondary indexes.
PURPOSE:
This is necessary if the table is frequently accessed in a way that does not take advantage of the sorting of the primary index for the access. Different indexes on the same table are distinguished with a three-place index identifier.
Generally it is used when field which u want is not a primary field .
Advatange:
1. faster access to data when field is not a primary key field.
Disadvatnage:
1. Slower down database table inset, update delete commands.
You go for secondary index when you have any SELECT statement which has a WHERE clause which is not effectively using the existing index(s). But this decision of additional index has to be made in sync with the Basis and Functional team. Every additional index will be a burden on the database and the system resources.
The secondary index is a type of index in database table. Indexes are used to improve the performances of data retrieval from the table. This happens by passing the values to these indices during SELECT query in the WHERE clause.
There are different types of indices. Primary key is default present for all the tables in database. Only ONE Primary key can exist in a database table. It results in unique records in the database table.
The other type of index is secondary index. Multiple fields can be grouped to make a secondary index of table. If all the field values is passed during SELECT query, the performance increases drastically.
Not many fields should be included in secondary index. Large number of fields reduces the performance of INSERT query of database.
Indexes are used to speed up data selection from the database. System chosse and use the index based on the fields given in WHERE and HAVING clause.
The primary index is always created automatically in the R/3 System. It consists of the primary key fields of the database table. This means that for each combination of fields in the index, there is a maximum of one line in the table.
If you are searching on non-key fields, you can create your own secondary index, which can restrict the number of table entries searched to form the result set.
Improper use of Secondary index can slow down the performance. Discuss with Basis team before creating a secondary index.
Check the threds -
secondary index
Secondary Index
Primary index: the primary index contains key fiels of a table and a pointer to non-key fields of the table. The primary index is created automatically when a table is created in database and moreover you can further define reference to the primary index which are known as Secondary index.
How many indexes can be created for a table? -> 9
When you are selecting the data on non primary key,obviously system will give output with bad performance ,if you create secondary index then it gives better performance
GOTO SE11 -> give ur table name -> click on display button -> click on index button ->click on create button -> give id ( z98 like ) -> give field names MANDT ,then ur field names
save and activate

Windows are weired in Reports- Data Dictionary Reports- PL/SQL- .......

When I go to Reports->Data Dictionary Reports-> PL/SQL->Search Source Code I get a window where I can not enter anything and moreover nothing is clearly visible.
Also same is happening for option Reports->Data Dictionary Reports-> PL/SQL->Progam Unit Arguments.

The parameters default to NULL (the NULL check box is ticked) - to be able to enter a value, you need to first uncheck the NULL check box. You get the same thing with bind variables when running statements in the SQL Worksheet.
I think it would be much better if typing anything into the parameter value field automatically deselected the NULL, but it doesn't do that.

How to find out the aligning Data dictionary table for a structure.

Hi
As the table controls are associated with strucures, the data input goes to the data dictionary table aligned to that structure. Is there any way we can find out the table related to that particular structure ?
Thanks,
Dhareppa

Hi,
The structure and its fields may be associated with multiple database tables.
You can try by where-used list of the structure/field and then you can look and determine the table by hit and try method.
Also as suggested above you can try get the SQL trace and then ypu can look for table associated behind the structure/fields I believe this is the best way to find the DB table.
Thanks,
Ravi

Differrences between structure and table in data dictionary in ABAP?

What is the differrences between structure and table in data dictionary in ABAP?
are they same?

Tables :
1. The place where the data is stored so that you can retrieve at any time.
2. There can be more than one record stored
Structures :
1. The data / info stays only during the runtime of the application and will not get stored at all during the run time ....
2. Only one record can be stored at the runtime .....
A structure forms the skeleton of the table.
A structure comprises components i.e., fields. Types are defined for the components A component can refer to an elementary type (via a data element or by directly specifying the data type and length in the structure definition), another structure or a table type. A structure can therefore be nested to any depth
Tables can be defined independently of the database in the ABAP Dictionary. The fields of the table are defined with their (database-independent) data types and lengths.
When the table is activated, a physical table definition is created in the database for the table definition stored in the ABAP Dictionary. The table definition is translated from the ABAP Dictionary to a definition of the particular database.

CC&B version 2.3.1 - Data Dictionary

Hi,
Just upgraded to version 2.3.1 and don't seem to have access to the Data Dictionary any more.
Was wondering if someone could advise how we can config this ?
Thanks

The default now for the installation is to disable the Appviewer and not load it as most environments do not need it. Ensure you have enabled the AppViewer in the configureEnv utility. Then run the genappvieweritems utility to populate it.

How to store variable length of data in data dictionary table

hi friends
    i want to store variable length of text in one of field of table which is created in data dictionary.
    i tried it by declaring table field type as string,
include that table using table statement and try to insert data in abap program . but it gives error something
"cannot use table having deep structure " i don't remember it exactly.
      can you help me how to insert variable length of data in text data dictionary table.

Hi,
    define field with type LRAW in your table to store
    string more than 255 characters.
      LRAW
Uninterpreted byte string of arbitrary length, but with a minimum
      length of 256. Fields of this type must be located at the end of
      tables and must be preceded by a length field of type INT2. LRAW
      fields cannot be used in the WHERE condition. LRAW is functional from
      Release 3.0.

Declare Internal Table in Code or in Data Dictionary...Opinions needed?

Is it better to define your internal table and all of its fields in a begin of/end of declaration stmt in your code's data definitions. Or, is it better to create a structure in the Data Dictionary, which means one line of code in your program? Why does one choose the method they prefer?
I am thinking it is best to declare in Data Dictionary, especially since ABAP is now leaning towrds objects. However, I am seeing a lot of field by field definitions in programs. I am very interested in how most programmers accomplish this and why.
Thank-You

I would say that if the internal table is to be used in more than one program, then I would create a structure and/or table type in the ABAP dictionary. If it is to be used in just one program, then I would define it locally.

Icons in data dictionary table

how do i get icons in a data dictionary table.
i make this:
DATA: BEGIN OF ls_structure,
        list TYPE TABLE OF dictionarytable,
        END OF ls_structure.
DATA: wa_list LIKE LINE OF ls_structure-list.
LOOP AT ls_structure-list INTO wa_list.
    wa_list-zdate = wa_list-datatime(8).
    wa_list-ztime = wa_list-datatime+8.
    wa_list-zlights = '@5C@'.
    INSERT dictionarytable FROM wa_list.
ENDLOOP.
my dictionary table has a field with zlight which is type icon_d.
but when i look in the table the column is empty..........

Hi,
I wrote a sample code for your reference:
include <icon>.
tables zicon.
zicon-id = '111111'.
zicon-icon = icon_checked .
insert into zicon values zicon.
for icon, I also used the type icon_d.
Hope it helps.
