Data type in SE11

Hi everyone, a simple question..
In se11 I want to create a structure. But the "data type" zone is gray that I couldn't define types to each component. How could that be?
Thanks a lot!

hi,
there is a pushbutton right above the coloumn 'Component type'. It is called Built-in type. Just click on it and you can add what you want to.
hope this helps

Change of data type in Include

Hi,
all I found out that there is an include program in which all the Data type for that Function module is present, However it states that
THIS FILE IS GENERATED BY THE FUNCTION LIBRARY**
NEVER CHANGE IT MANUALLY, PLEASE!**
DATA ORG_XY TYPE CHAR30.
Then how to go about Changing it,I want to make it char65 Its a Remote Function Call.

Hi Sanjay,
This include program is generated by the library, so do not change the contents of the include manually. Instead you create a new data type from SE11 of CHAR65. The changes would be automatically applied in this include.

Activation error while changing the data type of a field of a table

hi friends,
i am facing one problem while changing a data type of a field of a table.
i just created one table(Yqm32) .i have assigned charcter data type to one field(ztotal_count) .now i want to change this charcter data type to numeric data type.
while changing to NUMC data type activation error is comming as below.
Table is not yet classified
Field ZTOTAL_COUNT: Type change
ALTER TABLE is not possible
Structure change at field level (convert table YQM32)
Check on table YQM32 resulted in errors
Table YQM32 could not be activated
(E- Structure change at field level (convert table YQM32)
plz suggest.i need to change the data type from char to numc.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Pabitra......
From the SE11 change the table as u wanted and then from menubar select
UTILITIES--> DATABASE UTILITY
It will open database utility
there u select the Activate and adjust database button.

Reg. the creation of new data type in ECC 6.0

Hi All,

I have tried using t-code SE11 but i am unable to create.

Performance issue while using data type 'STRING'.

Hello All,
I have created a table for storing values of different features coming under a particular country. Since the last field 'Value field' have to hold text upto 800characters for some features, i have used the data type 'String' with character length specified as 1000. I am able to store values upto 1000characters using this. Also, the table has to hold lots and lots of value, and it will increase in future also.
Since i have mentioned the data type as 'String', I have one doubt whether this will affect the performance. Because length of most of the values in my value field is less than 75characters and in some case only it will exceed 700characters. So, my question is whether the 'String' data type will allocate the length which am specifying in the table for each entries, though the values entering is less than the specified length.
For example, if the value of my value field is 'Very High Complexity' which is of length 20characters, will the space allocation be reduced to 20 or will it be still 1000characters?
Hope someone can clarify my doubt.
Thanks In Advance,
Shino

Hi Shino,
Well it is possible to store using STRING or LCHR in the transparent tables. There are some underlyning facts here:-
1. You can only have one such field per table
2. You cannot view them in the se11 / se16 table content browser
3. You will need to maintain an additional field for storing the length of the STRING or LCHR field.
Regarding the performance:
even though ABAP allows storing STRING or LCHR type fields in the transparent tables but as soon as the lenght of the field crosses 255 chars it is not advisable to store it directly in the transperant tables.
You should store that field in the knowledge repository and only a pointer to the knowledge repository in the transperant table field.
Anyways, Since you have only one field with such a requirement then i would suggest you use STRING instead of LCHR as in LCHR you will have to mandatorily assign a length (like 1000) so even if you are storing only 20 chars or 300 chars the system will reserve a slot of 1000 chars; this is not with string as in case of string everything would be dynamic.
The result being that the reading time increases in case of LCHR.
I Hop this answered your question.

Sagar.

ABAP Data type to XI data type mapping

Hi,
I am creating a message type in XI corresponding to a ABAP structure. There are couple of data types on the ABAP side (for example: RAW, QUAN, CURR CUKY, UNIT, NUMC etc) which i have no idea on what it should be mapped to on the XI side(xsd:string, xsd:token, xsd:int etc).
Is there is any document on mapping from ABAP data type to XML data type ? if yes please send it across.([email protected])
if no doc available, if some body could let me know what these ABAP data type would map on the XI side it would great.
Best Regards,
Kiran

Hi Kiran,
just some more background information to the data types CURR, CUKY, QUAN, UNIT:
1) Each field of data type CURR must be assigned to a field of data type CUKY (the financial amount must be assigned to a currency) and each field of data type QUAN must be assigned to a field of data type UNIT (each quantity must have a dimension). If you want to know this assignment for your specific ABAP structure, you can find it using transaction SE11 with your ABAP structure and go to the tab Currency/Quantity fields. Here you find the information under Reference table and Ref. field.
2) The default number of decimals for a field of data type CURR is 2, but this can be overwritten by the assigned CUKY field. You can check the actual number of decimals for a specific currency with transaction OY04. Here are all currency list that do not have 2 decimals.
3) The default number of decimals for a field of data type QUAN is 3, but this can be overwritten by the assigned UNIT field. You can check the actual number of decimals for a specific unit with transaction CUNI. Click on Units of measurement (pick the correct dimension first), double click on your unit and you find the info in the field Decimal places.
4) Depending on the data you receive your conversions can get quite tricky. Lets take as an example a field of type CURR. If you find the value 1000 in there, this would convert to 10.00 USD if the assigned CUKY field contains the value USD (US dollar). But the same value ca represent 1000 JPY (Japanese Yen) if the assigned CUKY field contains the value JPY. What i try to say is that the value in the field of type CURR alone does not give you the actual amount, you have to know the value of the CUKY field as well. Similar for QUAN and UNIT.

Claus

SQL Query using DATS data type

Hello people,
I have a table 'TableA' with a column 'xpto' that has DATS data type.
A lot of lines in this table has this field empty.
I have to create a SQL query to select those lines with this field not empty.
Select * from TableA
where xpto is not null
It does not work.... The result is all the lines in the table.
What is wrong?
Thanks!

Easiest way to do this is :
constants l_xpto type tableA-xpto value is initial
Select * from TableA
where xpto ne l_xpto.
You can see the NULL/NOT NULL settings for the column through SE11
Utilities -> Database Object -> Display.
I tend to set the "Initial Value" flag when adding columns to tables, which creates the database column as NOT NULL with a default value (whatever SAP considers the initial value for that datatype). I think SAP does this by default, but I've had issues where it hasn't so I do this to ensure consistency

Change of Data type in Fuction Module

Hi,
I have a Function Module XYZ and it contains field Custline of datatype char30.
Now I want to change it to Char65 i.e Character type with 65 length. I get a Error message stating that Type Char65 does not exist whereas when i check in se11. I can see that data type.

Comparing two GUID of ABAP raw data type in Web Dynpro

Hello,
I am working with a CRM application. I want to fill a table with each column from different tables.

Hi,
I have been able to get rid of the problem posed in my earlier mail about assigning values from a field symbol to an internal table. Now its back to the same old problem.
As mentioned earlier I have a view1 in which I am populating a range (select option), which I want to display on the next view, view2.
On view1, on click of the button, I have populated internal table I_RANGE2.
DATA: IT_RANGE2 TYPE TABLE OF ZTTRANGE.
ZTTRANGE is a table type in SE11 with linetype as ZRANGE (structure in SE11).
I want to pass I_RANGE2 to the method in the component controller:
WD_COMP_CONTROLLER->HOLD_DATA( CHANGING IT_RANGE = IT_RANGE2 ).
In the component controller the parameter IT_RANGE has been declared as
PARAMETER TYPE REFTo Associated Type
IT_RANGE Changing u221A (Tick) ZTTRANGE
But I am getting an error:
IT_RANGE2 is not type-compatible with formal parameter IT_RANGE.
Please help resolve this error.

Hi all How to define data type 'P' in structure.

Hi all,
I need to create data element having type P with 2 decimal pt in se11.
Plz suggest me which type should I use to create such element as there is no data type as P in se11.

Hi,
Yes there is no data type 'P' in se-11 for data element.
there two way you can define the D.E
-one is by define with type 'CURR' and give length and decimal places suppose if you define cust_money as curr length is 12 with in you can give decimal places as 2 or 3 etc a/c your requirement.
-secon one is you can use the type as 'DEC' and give the legth and decimal places as explained above.
before creating the data element you can check r they any built in dataelements avialbe suppose for DEC* give in se11 and press F4 then u can find out the list of D.E like there are already some d.E like dec8_2,dec25,DEC11_2 etc...
Reward with points if helpful.

A newer version of data type BBP_PDS_HSS_IC was found than one required

Hi,
When I create a SC, it is automatically approved but the PO is not created.
If I check TRX SM58 I get the message:
"A newer version of data type BBP_PDS_HSS_IC was found than one required"
Any ideas?

Hi
Which SRM version are you using ?
By an chance have you created any new fields in the standard structure
'BBP_PDS_HSS_IC' using SE11 Transaction in SRM system. Please confirm the same by taking help of ABAP person here. Seems to be like the structure is not Activated completed.

What is "g" data type? Is it STRING?

Hi Experts,
Simple and basic doubt,.....
What is "g" data type? Is it STRING?
Like these, when I get in future for others, Where Can I see them, I tried in SE11, and F4, but did not figure it out!!

my other thread:
This is production issue.
I have given menu>extras->ONLY ONE serial #s to the item of 10 of quantity 3/material in the out bound delivery.
Then, pressed the PGI. worked fine.
In next, in another case, I created another delivery for the same material, of the qunatity is 3, but different serial #s,-.....assigned 2 different serial #s.
then, am getting DUMP.
from ST22 the Dump is,
In the FM of CHECK_STRING_SUCCESSOR of with in "PROCESS_STRINGS_FOR_PRINT" .
The reason for the exception is:
You attempted to pass the field "I_SPECIAL_CHARS" to the formal parameter
"I_SPECIAL_CHARS"
but the formal parameter "I_SPECIAL_CHARS" can accept only fields of
type "C". The field "I_SPECIAL_CHARS" has the type "g".
So, let me know that,
1 - Why its happening ONLY when assigned more than 1 serail #, How to fix it?
2 - Is there any SAP NOTE??

Type of X equals which data elements or data type

Hi ABAP Experts,
I declareted variable type of X in my program.
(Example TYPES: BEGIN OF T_XML_LINE,
         DATA(1024) TYPE X,
       END OF T_XML_LINE.)
But I want to create structure with SE11 Tcode in my program. But I dont know Type of X equals which data elements or data type and length.
Thanks for help.

Hi,
You can use the below data type in data dictionary
RAW:   Uninterpreted byte string, maximum length of 255 in tables
LRAW: Uninterpreted byte string of any length, but has to be declared with a minimum length of 256
RAWSTRING: Uninterpreted byte string of variable length

Questions on Merging Dis-similar Data Types...

I am using Web-I version 11.5.8.834 (We do not use the Crystal Reports module, all of our reports are built with Web-I).
I have two questions:
Question 1: First I am attempting to create a report from two different universes and need to merge a dimension from each universe. The two dimensions have similar data, but one is set up as a "string", and the other universe has the same data set up as a "number". Our IT department creates and maintains the universes and I have requested that one of the dimension data type be changed to match the other, but I am told that other users have already set up reports using these dimensions and to change them at this point might cause a problem with their reports. So my first question is: Can two separate dimensions be setup within a single universe, using the same data field, each having different data types (e.g., a field with numeric data be set up as a "string" and a second dimension be setup as a "number")? If this works, I can make a recommendation to our IT department to do this and I will not have to resort to Question 2. but just in case, here is Question 2:
Question 2: I have two other dimensions that I might be able to use, but it requires creating a variable and "trimming" data off of each of the fields. The first universe is a part number with three alpha characters followed by four numeric characters (PRT1234). The second universe has a serial number, in which the first four characters match the last four characters of the other universe (1234-00111). If I trim off the first three characters from the first universe using a variable (=right([Part_Number];4), and trim off the last six characters from the second universe using a variable (=left([Serial_Number],4), the variables will have matching data. The second question is: Can variables be merged? I've tried, but it isn't working so far. If so, can someone give me some hints on how to do it?

Charles,
Can variables be merged?
No, local variables cannot be merged. The manipulation must be performed at the database level via Designer before the data comes across to the report. As an aside, your IT deparatment can create "new" objects just for you, placed in the list under a separate sub-class that manipulates the data to your liking and will not upset other users who already built reports using the original columns of data. I guess my point is that you can have multiple objects placed in your universe that derive from the same column in a given table -- user A has it per their flavor and user B has it per his flavor.
Thanks,
John

Error while transporting a data type

Hello all SAP PI Experts,
I'm trying to transport a data type but I'm getting the below mentioned error.
This is happening even when I gave the proper name of SWCV that contains this data type.
Please suggest how this problem can be solved.
Thanks,
Ajeya G V

Hi Ajeya,
An easy trick is to open the DataType on your Enterprise Service Builder, and once it is opened, (not edit, just open) go to Tools --Export Design Object
The correct SC will be filled as default.
