Field Length Display

Hi all,
In the shopping cart in 7.0, the field Product Category Description is only displaying text to 20 characters. When I check the table, the field mask is 80 characters. Can you please advise, how do I get the actual field character length of 80 characters in the table to appear in the shopping cart?
Any help much appreciated!

You would need to enhance the webdynpro component for this screen (go to the UI screen, right click on the component and select "more field help"). When you have navigate to the input field of Product Category, check the property and increase the visibility length.

Field Length too big to display

Hi
We have a scenario where the wrong unit of measure was used and resulted in numbers that were too big to display on deliveries and reports eg 555, 000, 000, 000, 000.00. We are now changing the UOM for the affected PNs but wondered if anybody has any other solutions on how SAP can cope with displaying fields that are too large for its defined length for all the old deliveries created previously. Currently these hit run time display errors. We have already extended the field length once but need a more robust solution in case there are any more materials like this.
Thanks

Extending the field length would not make the error going away. Instead it makes it easier for the user to enter wrong units and conversions. As SAP will less often dump, you will encounter your errors much later than now.
analyse your materials and correct the wrong entries, conversions to alternative units are stored in table MARM

Field length shows more in excel sheet which is sent via email

I am sending excel sheet through email. I have data in internal table which i move to the email internal table and data is been sent via email using a excel sheet.
Now, when I open the excel sheet, i see that all fields get displayed but the last field is shown as too much length meaning field length is 15 chars but in excel sheet it shows as almost 40 - 50 chars.

Decalre one more field in your internal table ,which should be last field.
and do not pass header for this field and just pass the empty value to this field.
if not use this FM : EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT

Leading Zero w/ variable field length...

I'm creating a form in which I need a particular field to:
- Accept/Display a leading zero (or multiple leading zeros);
- Accept numbers numbers;
- Have a maximum field length of six numerals, but with the ability to accept fewer;
- Display an error message if the above criteria are not met.
I have some code (see below), but don't know how to make the field length variable.
var fmt = /^\d\d\d\d\d\d$/;
if(event.value != "")
if(!fmt.test(event.value))
app.alert("Incorrect format, field must contain numbers only.");
event.rc = false;
Make sense...? Can anyone help...?
Thank you.

This drops the leading zero(s) and does not display the error message.
Adjustments...?
Thank you for your promp reply.

Increasing field length on screen

Hi
I am new to OAF and need some help. We are using R12 and on one of OAF screen I need to make one of the field bigger on the screen. On database the field length is fine, but on screen the field is not big enough and users have to scroll to see the entire value. I need to make this field bigger so that users can see the entire data.
Please suggest.
Thanks

Hi,
If you have look at the VOimpl.xml file you can see the display size of the attribute which you want to increase the length.
If the display is smaller than the databae column, you can chage the .xml file and upload it again and once you bounce the apache server should do the trick.
Otherwise you have do all the process of extensions. as there is no other way you can increase front end.

How to restrict io field length...?

hi,
how can we restrict the io screen field length on the screen with out changing field type....
Regards,
Anil.

Hi ,
Do you want to restrict the display or the input length.
In case you want to restrict the display with the select-options or parameters then simply use the extension
... VISIBLE LENGTH vlen
Effect
This addition allows you to shorten the visible length of the corresponding screen field on the selection screen to vlen.
and in case you want to restrict it based on the number of characters then check out the following code.
PARAMETERS p_test TYPE c LENGTH 10.
DATA test TYPE i.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON p_test.
test = STRLEN( p_test ).
IF test > 4 .
MESSAGE 'Length greater than 4' TYPE 'E'.
ENDIF.
reward if usefull.

Field Lengths in Smartforms

Hi All,
How can we make the field lengths of all the fields to be displayed in smartforms of the same length so that they are aligned properly.
Eg: V_field1 is of length 8,
V_field2 is of length 2.
Both are of the type Z table.
How can this be done in smartforms to display both of same length.
Thanks,
Saher

Hi,
Use like below
Eg: V_field1+(08)
V_field2+0(2).

Htmleditformat & Database Field Lengths

I happened across an article about SQL injection, a topic I frequently look back into to see what new threats have been discovered, and this particular author was pushing for the use of htmleditformat on all form data being inserted into a database. Now I have coded and secured several different websites against SQL injection, each using simlar to slightly-varied techniques at blocking those pesky hackers, so my question is not how to prevent SQL injections, but instead my question is more about htmleditformat and database field lengths.
htmleditformat on user-inserted data is part of my SQL injection prevention scheme, but on rare occasion I have this problem:
Let's say I have a field in my database for the user's first name, with a generous length of 20 characters.
The user's name, just as an example, is 18 characters long. No problem, right?
But let's say that user's name has a symbol, or foreign language character, that then gets converted by htmleditformat behind the scenes? Suddenly that 18 characters balloons up to 23 characters, generating an error because my CFQUERYPARAM maxlength is 20, not to mention the field in the database.
So, for those who do scrub user data with htmleditformat, how do you handle this, if at all?

I agree with mack. HtmlEditFormat is intended for displaying strings, not making them safe. You might try using the StripHtml or SafeText user defined functions from cflib.org to remove undesired HTML from your input.

rgrds,
Shweta

Field doesnu0092t display in alv , why ?

WHEN 'NETPR' .
      LS_FCAT-COLTEXT = TEXT-031 .
      LS_FCAT-COL_POS = 29.
      LS_FCAT-OUTPUTLEN = 15 .
    LS_FCAT-DATATYPE   = 'CURR' . "'QUAN'.
    LS_FCAT-rollname = 'NETPR'.
when the report is display , the field doesn't show up ?
also if i reduce the number of Columns ( in the field catalog )
for display there is no change
all the other fields are display except the "NETPR"
when i check the "layout change" he is there   ,
also he is display if i reduce the number of columne for display ( by layout change)

hi,
see this.
did u append the data to field catlog internal table also please check .
fieldcatalog-fieldname   = 'NETPR'.
fieldcatalog-seltext_m   = 'Net Price'.
fieldcatalog-col_pos     = 7.
fieldcatalog-outputlen   = 15.
fieldcatalog-do_sum      = 'X'        "Display column total
fieldcatalog-datatype     = 'CURR'.
append fieldcatalog to fieldcatalog.
clear fieldcatalog.

Custom fields not display in SRM5.5 Basic Data Frame

Hello Everybody,
      I am working on SRM5.5 Server which i have to add two custom fields in Basic Data Frame..
     No field is display in basic data frame After I added those fields in INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF_SC and INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF.
    I added these fields by help of 672960 OSS notes..
   Add also when i execute the program BBP_DYNPROS_GENERATE where I entered the program name as SAPLBBP_PDH_CUF and execute but non of them is working fine..
Is there anything else do i need to display custom fields in basic data frame??
I have one more question..
When you logon through SAPGUI and goto BBPSC01 t.code where you see lots of fields in basic data frame such as unloading point and all.. But those all fields does not display when you logon through WebURL..
I checked is there any BAdi such CUF or Screenvarient or some Badi has been actived but non of the Badi has been implemented..
To display all the fields which are display in GUI Mode also should display in URL..
To bring this functionality , What do i need to do?
I appreciate if you answer these questions..
Thanks,
John.

Hi Disha,
We are trying to add custom fields to the Shopping Cart Header. We are using SRM 5.0. We added the fields to the structures "INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_CSF_SC" & "INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_CSF". We are able to see the custom fields. But the issue is , we are able to see the custom fields in the Shopping Cart one step shop scenario. Whereas when we run the wizard which is a 3 step scenario, we are not able to see the custom fields.
Technically speaking, the custom fields are visible for the ITS BBPSC01 & BBPSC03 , where as these custom fields are not visible for the ITS BBPSC02.
Please let me know, if we need to append the fields to some other structure to be able to see them in the Shopping cart wizard also.
I will be gald to provide any kind of info.
Thanks in advance...
