Data element problem

Hi Experts
       I have used EBELN domain for my field, its length is 10,
      now i want to increase the length of the data element, what can i do.
      can i change the data element to the field ebeln.
      If i change it, will it affects the data in the production server which already transported to production.
Pls advise me on this same.

hi,
You cant change directly.It will ask Access Key.
changing SAP standard data element is so critical and it will never give the result you expected.
Because so many tables and programs use ebeln and do some validations on field size also.
Its like playing with standard programs.
Please do in other way like creating zebeln in se11 tcode and give size according to your requirement and use this for your field.
Reward if useful
Thanks

A problem when using a data element in BAPI

Hi there,
I build a function module, and want to use it as a BAPI. But when I add the function module as a method of a BAPI object, it gives me the following error: data type xxxxx cannot be used for methods.
I guess the problem happens because of the type of data element I used for the input parameter of the function module. Thus I tried many other data elements, but I keep getting the same error. I am really out of the game. Could anyone tell me which data element I should use for the input parameter of the function module? The function module has only one input parameter, which should be a string with length less than 100.
Thank you so much!!
Sincerely,
Bing

The function module has only one input parameter, which should be a string with length less than 256. (I tried many predefined data element like RPLM_STRING, but when I tried to add the function module as a method of BAPI, the SAP always gave me the error: data type xxxxx cannot be used for methods)
It only has one output parameter: RETURN (associated type: BAPIRETURN)
I am really not familiar with ABAP program, let alone BAPIs. Any suggestions would be very helpful to me. I sincerely appreciate your help.

Problem when define Value range for data element

Dear
When I define a new data element in ABAP Dictionary, for example, ZDATA_ELEMENT_TEST.
I use domain ZDOMAIN_TEST.
(Data type is DEC, the length is 10, and decimals is 2 with sign.)
Now, I want to restrict that, user can ONLY input the value from 10 to 100.
From ABAP course and the Internet, I switch to "Value Range" tab, and define 10 for Lower Limit, 100 for Upper Limit in Intervals section.
And write the simple program.
PARAMETERS test TYPE ZDATA_ELEMENT_TEST.
WRITE: test.
And run it.
Line: -
But, there is a problem.
When I input 200 for test, the program still run and display 200 to screen without any error report or notification. The ABAP runtime system doesn't check the input value.
I want to config for the domain that can satisfies, if the user input the wrong value (e.g: 200 in the previous case), the program will auto raise the error report, or exception, or sth like that.
Any help is welcome.

Hi Hanni,
Welcome to forum.
Try to attach key word VALUE CHECK to your PARAMETER statement.
I.e:
PARAMETERS test TYPE ZDATA_ELEMENT_TEST VALUE CHECK.
Note: The addition VALUE CHECK cannot be used together with the additions AS CHECKBOX, RADIOBUTTON, or NO-DISPLAY.

Problem when using a different data element in Employee Tab Contact Info

Hello,
My version: Nakisa OrgChart 4.1
I created a data element whose fields I wanted to show in the Position details (in the Employee Profile panel, which use the default Static layout 'Employee Tabs'). I am trying to display some contact info, and I used the Employee Tab Contact Info section within Employee Tabs to do it. Somehow the fields captions do not show once I do that (see picture attached). I tried using the 'Employee Tab Data Sheet' section to display the same information, and it works fine.
Any thoughts what could cause this behavior? All the fields captions have values that were configured in the data element.
Thanks
M.E.

Sorry, just re-reading from the start, you are saying this is purely dependent on the type of section you select. Right?
With "Employee Tab Contact Info", you say it doesn't show; Have you tried using Field/Value Section (Multiple)?
Also, when it doesn't work, what <presentation> is referenced in your custom section within "OrgUnitPositionEmployeeDetail.xml" (in \.delta\AppResources\detailconfiguration)?

Problem in data element

hi experts,
i am developing a report to display details of equipment number(transaction ie03).
in that to get the partner function details (parvw ' vw ' person responsible)
we have partner (PARNR I_PARNR CHAR 12 0 Partner) and name of that person. so based on parnr we get details from table pa0001 .
here we have PERNR (PERNR PERSNO NUMC 8 0 Personnel number)
(here pernr is equivalent to parnr of ihpa but data elements differ) so we get the details that is ename(employee name ).
but when i write select query i get the following error
select objnr parvw parnr
from ihpa
into table it_ihpa
for all entries in it_itab
where objnr = it_itab-objnr
and parvw = c_vw.
select pernr ename
from pa0001
into table it_pa01
for all entries in it_ihpa
where pernr = it_ihpa-parnr.
error : when using the addition "for all entries in itab",
the field pernr and it_ihpa-parnr must have same type and length.

Hi,
The field PERNR and PARNR are different.So u can't directly write in the where condition.Try like this as given jayanti
if not it_ihpa[] is initial.
select pernr ename
from pa0001
into table it_pa01
for all entries in it_ihpa
where pernr = it_ihpa-parnr+4(8).
endif.

Data element-reward point guranteed

Hi all,
         i am in a peculiar problem.I have to go through a hell lots (50+) of ztable and find the domian used and corresponding data element.
going thorugh SE11 and finding the things are going to take lots of time.
i have a report program , sending it to you, it displays details of info of listed table.
just run the report.
but the thing is , it rerieves the data type, instead of data element and domain.
somehow if i get those two things(domian & data element instead of data type of each field) , my work will be easier.
i will simply run this report and download the content of the priniting internal table int an excel ****.
can you just do some modification in this report to print DATA ELEMENT AND DOMAINS OF RESPECTIVE.

Description of field from data element in table control

hello people !!! I need help !!
Im 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 stucture_fd 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 ti.
include structure tab_prb.
types: end of ti.
data: ti_bkpf type table of ti,
wa_bkpf type ti.
Explicacion:
tab_prb, es una tabla transparent que contiene la estructura struct_fd 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 ti_bkpf que seria mi tabla interna, pero cuando me pide el work area, le ingreso wa_bkpf me indica que no esta definido en mi programa o ne es una estrucutura.
Espero haber aclarado un poco mi respuesta.
Muchas gracias !!!
Esther.-

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

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.

Venkat.

Extended Withholding Tax Certificate Printing-Missing data elements

Hi
I am working in 4.7 version and am faced with some issues in TDS.
(1) In the TDS certificate printing, the certificate number is not appearing even though the number ranges are exactly maintained for the current year. I note that for some Official tax keys, it is printed perfect, but for some others it is not printed.
(2) Another problem is the Cheque number details are not appearing in the certificate.
(3) Eventhough the PAN number is mentioned in the Vendor Master, the same is not picked up rather it is coming from the J1ID data elements.
Your valuable comments will aptly rewarded.
Regards,

1.In print preview certificate number will not generated, when ever you have given printing then only number will be generated.please note that
back from preview and give print out, dont give print out from preview.
2.For getting the cheque number,you need to
write your own code inside the Function Module
J_1I7_USEREXIT_CHEQUENO_CERT.This FM is present in the
note 912767.
The code needs to be written at the customer end.It was not there in note no.912767
Kindly take the help of your abaper in this regard.
for sample coding please use the following link.
Check/Cheque No. is not printing on the TDS Certificate
3. Pan number of vendor in form 16A is coming if you update the pan no.from the following areas

ORABPEL-77005 Uninitialized data element

Hi,
I created BPM process and I used BusinessRuleTask in it.
During testing I get:
Non Recoverable System Fault :
<bpelFault><faultType>0</faultType><subLanguageExecutionFault xmlns="http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension"><part name="summary"><summary>XPath expression failed to execute. An error occurs while processing the XPath expression; the expression is bpmn:getDataOutput('ruleOutput'). The XPath expression failed to execute; the reason was: ORABPEL-77005 Uninitialized data element. DataOutput ruleOutput is not initialized in flow element BusinessRuleTask. Make sure to initialize DataOutput ruleOutput before using it in flow element BusinessRuleTask. Contact oracle support to resolve the issue. . Check the detailed root cause described in the exception message text and verify that the XPath query is correct. </summary></part><part name="code"><code>XPathExecutionError</code></part></subLanguageExecutionFault></bpelFault>
Before BusinessRuleTask step I initialized ruleOutput, but the result is the same..
have you any idea what's wrong?

Sharing another scenario as it might help others.
Instead of "DataOutput [variable] is not initialized" I encountered
Uninitialized data element.
DataInput execData is not initialized in flow element [task name]
Make sure to initialize DataInput execData before using it in flow element [process name]
The issue was in the log-handler (Before Output association) of the human-task, I logged the task execData (which is a system variable that gets populated with task execution data).
ora:getContentAsString(bpmn:getDataOutput('execData'))
The problem was resolved after I removed the above statement from the log handler.

Searching on data element

Is there a way to perform a sort and a search against the data element of my key / value pair?
I have a DB that I use to track some remote files. I have an ID that I use as the key to my key value pair that points me to a given file. This must be unique in the DB. I am trying to use the data portion of the pair to contain the file's last accessed time. At times, I have a need to retrieve all items by age (i.e. those with the oldest last access time).
Is there a way to accomplish this with Berkley DB? (BTW, I was using a secondary DB table for this but encountered other problems that I have already posted on and received no responses so I am trying to create an implementation that does not use secondary DBs).
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,
I am not sure if this is what you are looking for,
but the way I have tracked remote files is using
a structure containing information about the file
e.g. filename, fully qualified location, other
relevant information about the file as my data,
and fully qualified file name as the key. The data
structure can contain any information of interest
about the remote file. In my case, I keep the files
shareable storage so that my records can participate
in transactions and replication.
Thanks,
Sandra
