Deleting data elements and domains

hi guys,
how do i delete data elements that i had previously created in ztables (they are zelements and zdomains)permanently. thanks in advance.

from the same place where u created them ie go to
SE11> Use menu option Dictionary Object> Delete
or
SE80 > Use menu option Workbench>Edit Object>Click the tab Dictionary>use the Delete icon

Procedure for creating transparent table, data element and domain

Hi,
Can anybody let me know the procedure for creating transparent table, data element and domain.
Thanks,
Mahathi

Hi
Database table and its components
A database table is the central data structure of the ABAP/4 data dictionary.
The structure of the objects of application development are mapped in tables on the underlying relational database.
The attributes of these objects correspond to fields of the table.
A table consists of columns (fields) and rows (entries). It has a name and different attributes, such as delivery class and maintenance authorization.
A field has a unique name and attributes; for example it can be a key field.
A table has one or more key fields, called the primary key.
The values of these key fields uniquely identify a table entry.
You must specify a reference table for fields containing a currency (data type CURR) or quantity (data type QUAN). It must contain a field (reference field) with the format for currency keys (data type CUKY) or the format for units (data type UNIT). The field is only assigned to the reference field at program runtime.
The basic objects for defining data in the ABAP Dictionary are tables, data elements and domains. The domain is used for the technical definition of a table field (for example field type and length) and the data element is used for the semantic definition (for example short description).
A domain describes the value range of a field. It is defined by its data type and length. The value range can be limited by specifying fixed values.
A data element describes the meaning of a domain in a certain business context. It contains primarily the field help (F1 documentation) and the field labels in the screen.
A field is not an independent object. It is table-dependent and can only be maintained within a table.
You can enter the data type and number of places directly for a field. No data element is required in this case. Instead the data type and number of places is defined by specifying a direct type.
The data type attributes of a data element can also be defined by specifying a built-in type, where the data type and number of places is entered directly.
Two Level Domain Example
A domain defines a field technically and therefore it may
be used at different business levels.
A data element describes the meaning of a domain in a certain business context.
A domain, however, is used for the technical definition of a table field (for example field type and length).
Therefore, although a take-off airport (data element S_FROMAIRP) would have a different business meaning from an airport where a plane lands (data element S_TOAIRP), they could still have the same domain(here S_AIRPID) because technically we could assign the same number of characters whether the airport is a take-off or a landing airport.
Definitions of Table in Database
In SAP R/3 tables are defined as
A) Transparent tables: All of the fields of a dictionary table correspond to a field in the real database table.
B) Pooled tables: Different tables which are not linked to each other with a common key are combined into a TABLE POOL. Several logical tables thus exist as a single real database table.
C) Cluster tables: Several tables linked by a common key may sometimes be combined by the data dictionary and made to exist on the database schema as a single table.
SAP is evolving R/3 tables in transparent tables.
Elaboration on each of the definitions
A transparent table is automatically created on the database when it is activated in the ABAP Dictionary. At this time the database-independent description of the table in the ABAP Dictionary is translated into the language of the database system used.
The database table has the same name as the table in the ABAP Dictionary. The fields also have the same name in both the database and the ABAP Dictionary. The data types in the ABAP Dictionary are converted to the corresponding data types of the database system.
The order of the fields in the ABAP Dictionary can differ from the order of the fields on the database. This permits you to insert new fields without having to convert the table. When a new field is added, the adjustment is made by changing the database catalog (ALTER TABLE). The new field is added to the database table, whatever the position of the new field in the ABAP Dictionary.
Tables can also reside on the database as Pooled tables or cluster tables
Pooled Tables: Different tables which are not linked to each other with a common key can be combined into a Table Pool. The tables contained within this pool are called Pooled Tables. A table pool is stored in the database a simple table. The table's data sets contain, in separate fields, the actual key for the data set to be stored, the name of the pooled table and the contents of the data set to be stored.
Using this schema, several logical tables are combined into a single real database table. Although the data structure of each set is lost during the write to the table pool, it is restored during the read by the ABAP/4 Data Dictionary. The ABAP/4 Data Dictionary utilizes its meta-data to accomplish this.
Since information must be prepared (defined) within the ABAP/4 Data Dictionary when it is read or written to (or accessed), this process itself defines these as not transparent tables
Cluster Tables: Occasionally, several tables may be linked by a common key. The ABAP/4 Data Dictionary can also combine these tables into a single table. Each data set of the real table within the database contains a key and in a single data field, several data sets of the subsequent table for this key.
As mentioned above, these table types require special data handling, therefore they are not transparent tables.
Technical Settings in Dictionary
The data class logically defines the physical area of the database (for ORACLE the table space) in which your table should be created. If you choose the data class correctly, the table will automatically be created in the appropriate area on the database when it is activated in the ABAP Dictionary.
The most important data classes are master data, transaction data, organizational data and system data.
Master data is data that is rarely modified. An example of master data is the data of an address file, for example the name, address and telephone number.
Transaction data is data that is frequently modified. An example is the material stock of a warehouse, which can change after each purchase order.
Organizational data is data that is defined during customizing when the system is installed and that is rarely modified thereafter. The country keys are an example.
System data is data that the R/3 System itself needs. The program sources are an example.
Further data classes, called customer data classes (USER, USER1), are provided for customers. These should be used for customer developments. Special storage areas must be allocated in the database.
The size category describes the expected storage requirements for the table on the database.
An initial extent is reserved when a table is created on the database. The size of the initial extent is identical for all size categories. If the table needs more space for data at a later time, extents are added. These additional extents have a fixed size that is determined by the size category specified in the ABAP Dictionary.
You can choose a size category from 0 to 4. A fixed extent size, which depends on the database system used, is assigned to each category.
Correctly assigning a size category therefore ensures that you do not create a large number of small extents. It also prevents storage space from being wasted when creating extents that are too large.
Modifications to the entries of a table can be recorded and stored using logging.
To activate logging, the corresponding field must be selected in the technical settings. Logging, however, only will take place if the R/3 System was started with a profile containing parameter 'rec/client'. Only selecting the flag in the ABAP Dictionary is not sufficient to trigger logging.
Parameter 'rec/client' can have the following settings:
rec/client = ALL All clients should be logged.
rec/client = 000[...] Only the specified clients should be logged.
rec/client = OFF Logging is not enabled on this system.
The data modifications are logged independently of the update. The logs can be displayed with the Transaction Table History (SCU3).
Logging creates a 'bottleneck' in the system:
Additional write access for each modification to tables being logged.
This can result in lock situations although the users are accessing different application tables!
Create transparent table
Go to transaction SE11. Enter name of table you want to create (beginning with Y or Z) and click on create pushbutton
Enter the delivery class and the table maintenance criteria
The delivery class controls the transport of table data when installing or upgrading, in a client copy and when transporting between customer systems .
The display/maintenance indicator specifies whether it is possible to display/maintain a table/view using the maintenance tools Data Browser (transaction SE16) and table view maintenance (transactions SM30 and SM31).
Enter the name of the table field and the data element. The
System automatically populates the technical details for
existing data elements.
So far as possible it is advisable to use existing data elements which befit the business requirements.
However, we may create data elements if need be. The same is shown in the next slide.
To create a data element simply double click on it.
Alternately create a data element by simply choosing the
data type radio button on SE11 initial screen.
Create data element
The system prompts you to create a new data element.
Choose the Yes pushbutton.
Under the data type tab enter the domain name which
determines the technical characteristics of the field.
Further characteristics tab: Allows you to specify a search help assigned to the data element.
It also allows you to specify a parameter id which helps you populate a field from SAP memory.
Field label: Can be assigned as prefixed text to a screen field referring to the ABAP Dictionary. The text is displayed on the screen in the logon language of the user (if the text was translated into this language).
Create domain
If the domain does not exist in the data dictionary the
system prompts you to create one.
Give the technical characteristics under the definition
tab. Value range allows you value restriction at domain
level.
Value range tab:
As explained in the section Consistency through input checks one can restrict the possible values for a field at domain level itself by either entering fixed values or by specifying a value table under the tab Value range.
Currency/Quantity fields in a table
A currency or a quantity field must be assigned a reference field from a reference table containing applicable qty unit or currency unit.
Field of the reference table, containing the applicable quantity unit or currency
A field containing currency amounts (data type CURR) must be assigned a reference field including the currency key (data type CUKY).
A field containing quantity specifications (data type QUAN) must be assigned a reference field including the associated quantity unit (data type UNIT).
Create transparent table continue
Maintain the technical settings of the table by clicking on the tab

Data element and domain change problem

Hi Gurus!
I changed a Key figure's domain in our system.
The users would like the Key figure with 5 decimal places, but there was only 3 decimal places.
I did the changes based on this document:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/209b2916-1cca-2d10-b39e-90df259764ef?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
Everything is fine in our develop system.
But when I transport the changes to our test system, there are some error messages after the transport.
The transport's return code is 8.
The error messages are:
InfoObject ZIND (or ref.) used in InfoProvider with data managmnt.-> Error:
InfoObject ZIND: Decimal places was changed from 000003 to 000005
InfoObject ZIND being used in InfoCube ZPCA_R01 (contains data)
I don't want to delete any datas from the cube (this will be critical in our productive system).
I tried to activate the Key figure and the cube, I tried "Activate and adjust database" option in trn. SE14, but nothing helped.
Do you have any alternate ideas?
Thanks a lot.
Gergely

Thank you for your response.
I will create a new key figure.
Best Regards,
Gergely

Smart Form, Data Element and Parameters

1.- I created an Smart Form with an import parameter. The import's parameter type is a data element.
2.- I create an executable to call the Smart Form, I need to declare a parameter of the type of the same data element.
The problem is that when I try to compile I receive an error message:
The deep data type "ZTEXTOLIBRE" is not allowed. not allowed.
The type of the parameter must be of this type because if not, i'd receive an error when i send the parameter to the function that call the Smart Form. Any idea?
Thanx

Hi Jose,
check with this smartform LB_BIL_INVOICE declaration and with the driver program declaration.
like IS_BIL_INVOICE TYPE LBBIL_INVOICE in the form Interface and
like DATA: ls_bil_invoice TYPE lbbil_invoice in the driver program RLB_INVOICE.
Hope this will help.
Thanks,

Deleting photoshop elements and premier elements

After installing version 11 of protoshop elements and premier elements I find that I still have in the Adobe folder in the windows "program folder" photoshop elements 6 and one-on-one essentials. None of these show up in the control panel list of programs to uninstall. Do I need any part of photoshop elements 6 or one-on-one or can I merely delete the folders and all their contents.
Other Adobe programs I have installed are Reader X, Flash Player 11 and Adobe Air.

Each version of PSE is a self contained program and there is no need to delete earlier versions which work with the same images on your hard drive, without duplication.
I keep earlier versions as they often have different templates for creations and on-line galleries etc. It gives me the greatest choice. Normally I would say go ahead and uninstall earlier versions if you are short of disk space and don’t need them. However, if you don’t have the uninstall function via the control panel I would suggest you leave things as they are, as removing PSE6 in the past has been known to cause problems.

How to find Where does Data Elements and structures are used ?

Hi everyone .
Is there any table which stores data elements/structures and where they are used ?
If not is there any way to find by writing some program where does a data element or a structure is used ? Which tables will require for that ? If any one can give example it will be most helpful .
Thanks and Regards,
Kaushal N. Shah

Hi Kaushal,
DD04L stores the data elements.
DD02L stores the structures.
So you can query these tables & find them.

SMS forward/group sending/single delete & DATA transfer and storage

As I´ve learned in my last 8 days as a new 3G owner, that a BASIC FUNCTION function to forward a SMS, to delete a single SMS, to send one SMS to a group (I´m lucky to have my old Siemens Mobile Phone to inform all people, that I have a new number and an iphone ...) or a MMS function are NOT INSTALLED, which I consider a weakness. Also needed are some APP´s to work with a kind of FINDER to transfer some (business) files into the phone. The 3G should be a business solution? I don´t want to send me x emails, to get a attached documents.
My question now:
Do you know if there are legal programs at the APPLE APP Store which can help me in daily iphone functions, untill - somewhen - a firmware update is able to cover this?
I would really appreciate your help in finding these App´s.
Regards
<Edited by Moderator>

"For the OP: you can send a SMS to a group, just hit "+" button to add more numbers. As for the rest of your questions, the answer would be no, but you should definately give apple a feedback on this, they might add it in one of the future updates."
This is how to send a MASS text... not how to text to a GROUP.
This is a major flaw with the phone - not being able to select a Group, then text or email them. Not to mention, zero support for multi media in Text.
I REALLY hope Apple fixes this, but it doesn't look like it will happen.

What is domain and dataelement.....diff b/w domain and data element

dear all
what is domain?
what is data element?
In one domain how many data elements are possible to used?
with out data element how can u create a table? explain briefly.

To clarify it little further the Data element and Domains are used in combination where similiar type of data fields are to be used with some more additional characteristics to each Data element.
For example consider creating a table which contains Employee details. The Columns Name1 and Name2 are to be of type char and length 40. There are 2 ways to do this,
1. You can assign the fields Name1 and Name2 directly to CHAR40(as the data element) in SE11. But this will make both the fields to have same characteristics with no difference among them.
2. The other way is to assign the columns Name1 and Name2 to seperate Data elements say DE_NAME1 and DE_NAME2. This method has tha advantage of adding further charectristics and labels to the data element. Hence in this case you can add a label "Name1" for the data element DE_NAME1 and "Name2" for data element DE_NAME2. And both these data element will point to the same domain CHAR40, hence length and type is same.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Prasath N

Differece b/w dataelement and domain

hi every body
when creating table after giving the column name we can mention the direct type or specify the data element. in data element we mention data types and other properties, similarlay in dataelemens we can also specify the domain.
my question is that what the relationship or diff. b/w data element and domain. plz clear my concepts.
Rai.

Domain is the central object for describing the technical characteristics of an attribute of an business objects. It describes the value range of the field. Data Element: It is used to describe the semantic definition of the table fields like description the field. Data element describes how a field can be displayed to end-user.
A domain defines the properties of a data element within ABAP. The properties include the data element type, it's length if required and any restrictions on the values that may be entered into that variable. By defining a domain you can automate and greatly reduce the amount of work required when handling amongst other things user input parameters. Domains also standardise your programs. By using a domain rather than individually defining the variables within your program, any changes to the domains characteristics are automatically passed on to any programs that use that domain
A dataelement is the one which has the information about the field's representation on the screen in the form of FIELD TEXTS, COLUMN CAPTIONS in list outputs of the table contents and the format of the output via PARAMETER IDS and Online field documentation.

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.
here it is ,

Attaching Zdomain to Keyfigures Data Element

Hi All,
I have craeted Z Data Domain as per my requirements in developement server.
I attached this domain to the Data Element craeted for Infoobject by deleteing the std one.
I have transported both the Keyfigure and domain to Quality server.
But in quality server these changes are not getting reflected.
Yet the Data Element for Keyfigure is displaying the std one instead of the Z domain.
Please suggest me what can be done to attach Zdomain to key figures Data Element and this has to get reflected in quality server .
Thanks,
Swati

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.

Getting error while using the data element in ztable

though i specified the length as 20 in dataelement when i am entering the dataelement i am getting this error
while i used help i got the following information
Number of positions < minimum number (1) for data type CHAR
Message no. DO253
Diagnosis
A minimum length is required for the specified data type.
This minimum length is not reached by the specified number of positions.
Procedure
Increase the number of positions or select a more appropriate data type with the possible entries help F4.

This is strange, you shouldn't even be able to activate the dataelement type char with a length of 0. Revisit your data element and make sure that the length shows to be greater than 0 and reactivate your data element to make sure the newest version is active. In case you are referencing a domain in your data element do the same with the domain after validating that everything is correct (you can also use the check function). Then go back to your table and reenter the data element before activating your table.
Hope that helps,
Michael

Regarding custom currency data element issue in custom Table.....

Hello,
I am currently working on creation of a Z custom table in SAP. There is data coming from
mainframe for amount field in the form -9999.9999.
To store data like this I am creating a custom Z data element with Z domain definition as follows:
Data type; Curr
No of characters: 5
Decimal places: 4
Sign box is checked.
Now when I use this Z data elemnt for a firle in custom table, while activating, it asks for table refernce and table field. What do I give it here ?
Please help.
Regards,
Jainam..

Hi Jainam,
very basic ABAP knowledge: A field of type CURR isn used to store a currency amount. Every currency field must be connected to a currency key of type CUKY.
The same concept applies for quantities and units.
You can spare a lot of trouble if you look at standard tables and programs, copy or use data elements and/or structures from standard.
If you want to re-invent the world, you may need more than seven days.

Clemens

Internal length ( dd03l-intlen ) of data element

Hi Experts,
I have created structure using data elements.
intlen updated in table dd03l is double than Whatever length I defined for data elements.
e.g.
I defined custom data element ZDEPOT of domain type WERKS of type char 4.
but it's length in table DD03L-INTLEN is 8 char.
Please let me know what is the connection of data element and DD03L-INTLEN
and how we can control it as per the length of domain.
Thanks,

Hmm, everything I can find in table DD03L with the domain WERKS shows up with INTLEN of 4 and INTTYPE of C. Our custom data elements and structures appear to all have INTLEN values that match our LENG values. Have you saved and activated your custom data element and your structure?
